President Xi Jinping vowed to deepen an anti-corruption campaign spanning several critical sectors, a move that risks freezing spooked decision makers and hampering China’s fragile economic recovery.

The Chinese leader singled out the finance, energy, pharmaceutical and infrastructure sectors, as well as state-owned enterprises, as targets of fresh scrutiny at a meeting of the Communist Party’s anti-graft agency on Monday, according to state media.

Normally lower corruption means better economic performance but this does not apply to China

Xi Jinping tells China’s corruption hunters to show no mercy in ‘severe and complex’ battle



As the anti-corruption campaign enters its 11th year, the Chinese leader calls for ‘heavier punishments’ and a focus on ‘high-risk’ areas

Finance, pharmaceuticals, state-owned businesses and infrastructure are among the sectors in the party watchdog’s sights in 2024


The battle against corruption remains “severe and complex” and there should be “absolutely no mercy” in rooting out the problem, Chinese President Xi Jinping has told the country’s top graft-busters.

“Facing an ongoing severe and complex situation, [the crackdown on] corruption can never turn back or slacken, [people should] show absolutely no mercy and the charge must be forever sounded,” he said on Monday, according to state broadcaster CCTV. In a speech to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) on the first day of its third plenary session, Xi kicked off the 11th year of his signature anti-corruption campaign with a call to deepen the clean-up drive.

The campaign, which has netted thousands of officials since 2013, last year intensively targeted the country’s vast and opaque financial and healthcare sector.

The meeting was chaired by CCDI boss Li Xi and attended by members of the Politburo – China’s highest policy-makers – as well as state councillors and party heads of the legislature, courts and political advisory organs, and the military top brass.

It was also broadcast to top provincial and PLA officials. In 2018, five years after he launched the corruption-busting campaign, Xi declared “a crushing victory” against the problem.

The country’s battle against corruption set a record high last year, with the CCDI launching investigations into 45 senior officials, according to a tally by the South China Morning Post in January.

Two weeks ahead of this year’s third plenary session of the CCDI, the party widened the scope of offences and punishments with a new regulation on party discipline that includes the prospect of expulsion for reading sensitive materials in private.


Unflattering histories of the party, as well as publications that reflect poorly on the party’s policies, defame or slander party and national leaders, or distort the history of the party, the People’s Republic of China, and the PLA are all on the list.

Proponents say the campaign promotes clean governance, though critics counter that it serves as a vehicle for Xi to purge political opponents.

In a speech to the ruling Communist Party's anti-graft agency, Xi ordered "greater efforts" to fight corruption in "finance, state-owned enterprises, energy, medicine and infrastructure", state news agency Xinhua reported late on Monday (Jan 8).

"An overwhelming victory has been achieved in the fight against corruption, with the gains fully consolidated" over the last ten years, Xi said, according to Xinhua.

But "the situation remains grave and complex", he warned.

"We should be fully aware of new development(s) in the fight against corruption and the breeding grounds and conditions for corruption," he said.

It's not corruption, it's those he thinks are his enemies within the CCP.

Does he realize that corruption in China is just rampant and it's in the bone marrow and DNA of Chinese people ?
If one group got caught, the other group comes into power and start to be corrupt again. Your fight against corruption is never ending. It will go on and on even if he steps down.

The real effort should be that the system must be in place to govern the Nation and not the people overriding the system ?

He is just using the name of corruption to take out his old enemies but new enemies will appear. It will never end. He will die in an assassination attempt. It all being written in a Chinese 推背图。
If he is willing to believe in this shit, he should believe that he can never outfight and outlive his destiny.
