China Detains 65 Deputy Ministerial Officials in 2025 Anti-Corruption Drive

China has been trying to stop corruption for many years.

In 2025, they caught 65 important officials, which is 12% more than the year before.

These officials were from different parts of the government, like provinces, cities, and big companies.

The leader of China, President Xi Jinping, started this campaign in 2012.

He says corruption is a big problem and they need to keep fighting it.

Recently, they even caught a high-ranking woman who used to be in charge of workers' unions.

Next year, they will have a meeting to plan their next steps.
