Uncovering Xi Jinping's Relentless Anti-Corruption Crusade
Examining how Xi Jinping's anti-corruption drive, launched 14 years ago, continues to unfold with a ruthless pursuit of absolute loyalty and control over China's military.
When Xi Jinping took power in 2012, he wasted no time in launching a sweeping anti-corruption campaign that has upended China's political landscape. What began as a high-profile crackdown on graft and abuse of power has evolved into a relentless purge, with Xi ruthlessly consolidating his grip on the ruling Communist Party and the military.
Critics argue that Xi's anti-corruption drive is less about rooting out genuine corruption and more about eliminating potential rivals and cementing his own authoritarian control. The purges have reached deep into the upper echelons of the party and the armed forces, with hundreds of officials being investigated, detained, and in many cases, sentenced to lengthy prison terms or even execution.
