Xi Jinping Intensifies Purges in China

Xi Jinping, the leader of China, is cracking down on corruption and making sure his policies are followed.

In 2025, nearly a million people were punished, which is the highest number ever.

Xi wants officials to be more loyal and follow his plans strictly.

However, this has made some officials afraid to make decisions.

Xi is also targeting specific industries like finance and healthcare.

He wants to stop new forms of corruption, like delayed bribes.

The party is even punishing some of its own members who oversee these crackdowns.
