Xi Jinping Anti-Corruption Campaign 2026: No Let-up for Cadres
According to excerpts released on Wednesday, January 1, 2026, Xi emphasized that "no one should harbour any illusions" about escaping justice. These comments, originally made during a key political meeting in October 2025, were strategically made public now to set the tone for the new year.
We must maintain a high-pressure stance against corruption at all times, investigate and punish corruption cases accordingly, and leave no place for the corrupt to hide.
