• President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang are staying in the Standing Committee.
• The new members are Li Zhanshu, Wang Yang, Wang Huning, Zhao Leji and Han Zheng

And here's what you need to know about Wang Huning, Zhao Leji and Han Zheng.

Wang Huning is currently the director of the Central Policy Research Office, a position he has held for the last 15 years.

Said to be Mr Xi's top foreign policy aide, the 61-year-old Fudan University scholar is described as "China's Kissinger" and is part of Mr Xi's entourage during overseas visits.

At 60, Zhao Leji is the youngest member of the committee, and will be taking over the party's anti-corruption body, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI).

He became party chief of Shaanxi in 2007, and is considered close to Mr Xi as both are natives of the coal-rich province.

And last but not least is Han Zheng, currently the party boss of Shanghai.

Seen as a seasoned technocrat, Han was promoted to the Politburo in 2012 and is widely regarded as the part of the "Shanghai faction" led by former leader Jiang Zemin.

Han has a degree in International Political Economy from East China Normal University.

BBC Monitoring has profiled the newcomers to the standing committee. Here's some background on Li Zhanshu and Wang Yang.

Mr Li is said to be Xi's "powerful ally" and has been a close friend of the Chinese president since the early 1980s.

The 67-year-old handles Mr Xi's daily activities and often accompanies the Chinese leader on domestic and foreign tours. He was elevated to the Politburo in 2012.

Seen as a capable administrator and reformist, Mr Wang has also served as party chief in Guangdong, and in Chongqing city.

The 62-year-old has been at the forefront of developing US-China ties, and leads the annual US-China strategic and economic dialogue.

China recognises 56 ethnic groups including the majority Han, and ethnic minorities are represented among the 2,000-odd congress delegates. It's a different story in the leadership: in the past three decades only one non-Han person has ever made it to the Politburo., external This time round there don’t seem to be any ethnic minorities in the 25-member team.

Coverage of the Communist Party congress has focused on Xi Jinping, but who are the other standing committee leaders? BBC Monitoring's Pratik Jakhar has profiled the six men, including Premier Li Keqiang

• Li Keqiang stays on as the country's premier despite earlier speculation that he could be demoted.
• The 62-year-old has been a member of the Politburo Standing Committee since 2007.
• He has played a limited role in his first term as premier despite officially being the second-most powerful politician in China, and was even criticised over China's 2015 stock market crash.
• Li is said to be backed by former leader Hu Jintao as both come from the party's "youth league" faction.

A recent tradition in Chinese politics is that leaders tend to rule for 10 years - which is why it's significant that Mr Xi did not anoint a successor today. It has buttressed what some call the "Xi Forever" theory, that claims he wants to have indefinite rule. But others have argued that he does not need to, given that his ideology is now in the party constitution.

Here are three significant points about the new standing committee, as noted by IISS analyst Alex Neill:

1. Xi Jinping has been surprisingly inclusive in the choices for his team, with representatives of supposedly rival factions onboard including Han Zheng, the former Shanghai party secretary, and the reformist-minded Wang Yang.
2. Premier Li Keqiang was the only standing committee member retained from the 18th Party Congress, and will be in a position to press ahead with the challenges of supply-side economic reform.
3. Communist Party ideology will be crucial in a new era of "Xi Jinping thought". Wang Huning and Li Zhanshu have accompanied Mr Xi on all of his recent visits abroad, and are well-positioned to help drive China’s signature foreign policy strategy, the Belt and Road Initiative.

While many see it as Mr Xi's intention to hold on to power, South China Morning Post columnist Wang Xiangwei offered a different take earlier this week, external, saying it merely means “potential candidates will have to prove themselves” to Mr Xi before rising to the top. Meanwhile political commentator Bill Bishop told the Reuters news agency that it doesn't really matter anyway - with Mr Xi's name and ideology now enshrined in the party constitution, “as long as Xi is alive he will be the ultimate decider.”

When he joined the Communist Party in the late 1970s, Xi Jinping was just one of its many unassuming members. Now he is the most powerful party leader since Mao Zedong. The BBC’s Carrie Gracie charts his swift rise in this piece.

One of the surprising revelations from this year’s congress was a claim that top officials had plotted to overthrow Xi Jinping and the leadership - whether it was true or not, it was a rare admission that contradicted the Communist Party’s unified image.

Now that the Congress is finished, Beijing residents can look forward to certain security measures being lifted.

Over the past few weeks, some gyms, karaoke bars and nightclubs had shut, while other things like hot air balloons were banned outright for security reasons. And, as this video explains, even Airbnb bookings in central Beijing were not allowed for the duration of the congress.

In the past five years since Xi Jinping took power, China has become richer and more powerful. What has this meant for the average Chinese family? Our report tries to explain - in five charts.

Many have noted that the new members of the Standing Committee are of a certain vintage.

...which has inevitably led to jokes.

Here's more analysis on China's new leaders, from IISS analyst Alex Neill:

• The overriding impression is that Xi has focused on experience, professionalism and continuity in refreshing the standing committee.
• Zhao Leji is a good choice to replace Wang Qishan as China’s anti-corruption chief - as former head of the powerful organisation department he oversaw the performance of all communist party cadres. This will be crucial as Xi pushes ahead with his anti-graft campaign.
• The five new members represent a good cross section of experience and have a wide range of expertise, including the administration of enormous provinces across China, oversight of China’s economic development and internal party administration.

Wonder why all the Standing Committee members were standing so stiffly with their arms by their sides? This Bloomberg reporter has one possible answer.

Some reporters have zoomed in onto the Chinese proverb which Mr Xi ended his speech with.

Shortly after the reveal, the shares of one fortunately-named lift company that has the same moniker as a Standing Committee member immediately shot up, reports this Channel News Asia journalist.

This is Sun Chunlan - as the only woman in China's number two decision-making body, the Politburo, some say she may be the country's most powerful woman.

Here's some more analysis from IISS analyst Alex Neill about what the new line-up means:

He's not only been re-elected party chief - Mr Xi is now also the chairman of the Central Military Commission, report Chinese state media. , externalIt's a continuation of his tightening grip on the military: last year he was named commander in chief, and he has embarked on an overhaul of the military.
