Woman 'princeling' may break into all-male club of party

A Chinese woman "princeling" Liu Yandong appears to have a fair chance to get elected to the top echelons of the ruling Communist Party, which hitherto remained an exclusive domain of male leaders, after she was on Wednesday elected to the Party's top policy body.

Liu 67, a well connected princeling and outgoing Politburo member in charge of health, education, science and sports and previously part of a policy body in-charge of Tibet could get selected for all powerful nine-member Standing Committee which would be unveiled on Thursday.

State-run Xinhua news agency flashed her name prominently, sparking expectations that she could be first woman leader to make it to China's highest policy making body.

Liu is the only woman in China's 25-member strong politburo. Many party watchers say that she has a good chance to get into the exclusive leadership club to create history.
