Despite its great relevance in advancing Deng Xiaoping's ideas and leadership, during the third plenary session no critical or substantial reshuffle occurred, as opposed to the sixth plenary session held in 1981 when Hua Guofeng was removed from his post of Party Chairman. Important additions were made, however.

Chen Yun was appointed Politburo Standing Committee member, as well as Party Vice-chairman and First Secretary of the reformed Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Deng Yingchao, Hu Yaobang and Wang Zhen were all made new Politburo members, and they were given important posts in the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Nine new members, former Head of the PLA General Staff Huang Kecheng among them, were co-opted in the Central Committee.
