BEIJING (Reuters) - 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 next month at the ruling Communist Party's 18th congress, said three sources with ties to senior party leaders.
