This is 2002 and still only CCP can ELECT. It is not elected, it is appointed. Just like Hu will be appointed to be the head of China.
If we really look closely at it, it works exactly like an American corporation, Board of Directors APPOINT (Hire) a CEO or even the Chairman of the Board. CCP is the only share holder of China.
