Based on the facts, it was first observed and verified through the journalist, or informed and verified from competent sources.

President Xi Jinping of China has renewed his call for corruption, describing it as the ultimate serious risk to the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCC).

Newsweek communicated with the email of the China Ministry of Foreign Affairs to comment.

XI introduced a radical anti-corruption crusade after taking care of the leadership of the PCCH in 2012. Since then, the probes have been introduced into more than four million members of the part of $ 99 million, which cover “fly” range to “tigers” rankings.

Many observers have reported that XI, now in its third historical term, has used anti -corruption repression to compete and place more in the midst of China’s political hierarchy.

China’s top disciplinary agency began a three-day plenary session in Beijing on Monday to outline priorities for this year’s anti-corruption campaign.

Going to the participants on Monday, XI described corruption “the greatest risk for our party. ” By highlighting the successes and what he called a “clearer and firmer action on the main factor of the self -refolution,” he promised to continue “the paintings and the purifying forces”

In 2024, the Central Committee, the first CPC resolution organization, introduced probes in 58 “tigers” of high risk, according to Xinhua. In addition, 433,000 “flies” of decreased row have been disciplined, with 14,000 procedures for prosecution since April, he reported.

The prominent figures trapped in the Anti -Corruption Unit come with former Foreign Minister Qin Gang and Li Shangfu and Wei Fenghe, the two defense ministers that preceded the existing occupant of that office, Dong Jun.

The fact that many of those purged have held senior roles in the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), including its Rocket Force—responsible for China’s nuclear arsenal—has raised questions about Xi’s control over the military and highlighted his mistrust of the organization.

The Chinese president, Xi Jinping, speaking in Beijing on Monday, promised: “Intensify our efforts opposed to corruption and eliminate the soil and reproduction of corruption. “

“Therefore, it seems that the ‘Pool’ XI depends on corrupt officials is also complete on corrupt officials. If XI is selling corrupt officials, it suggests that the internal audit apparatus of the party works well or, more seriously, it is in himself.

Xi’s anti-corruption crusade shows no signs of slowing down, with a specific accessory in the military.

In November, Miao Hua, a member of the Central Military Commission led by the XI, became the last senior public official attacked. PCCH to designate corruption.

CNN recently reported the existence of 218 newly built or expanded facilities under the “liuzhi,” or “retention in custody,” system introduced in 2018. These centers have drawn criticism for their potential for abuse, as anyone in a position of “public power,” whether or not they’re a CCP member, can be detained for up to six months without access to legal counsel or family.
