Xi’s 13-year corruption campaign just keeps accelerating

The investigation into corruption under President Xi Jinping's leadership has intensified significantly over the past decade, with 65 probes into high-ranking officials last year alone, a sharp increase from the 19 in 2013. This escalation indicates a growing resolve to tackle corruption at the top echelons of the Chinese government, suggesting that Xi's campaign is becoming more aggressive. The heightened activity underscores the political importance of rooting out corruption, which is seen as crucial for maintaining party control and ensuring economic stability.
