China's three most powerful men have come up with preferred candidates to head up the nation's incoming new leadership team, sources said, in a ticket that includes financial reformers but leaves a question mark over its commitment to political reform. The seven-member list has been drawn up by past, present and future presidents ahead of a once-in-a-decade leadership change to be finalised in November 2012 at the ruling Communist Party's 18th congress, said three sources with ties to senior party leaders. They said former President Jiang Zemin, current President Hu Jintao and Hu's likely successor, Xi, have forged a consensus on candidates for the top decision-making body, the Politburo Standing Committee - a move that could pave the way for a smooth selection process after months of political tumult.
