Xi’s Enforcers Punished Nearly a Million People

“Chinese leader Xi Jinping has directed relentless purges to assert a degree of autocratic control unseen in China in decades, with Communist Party enforcers punishing nearly a million people last year,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“But when it comes to getting things done, he still wants more commitment to his agenda.”

“Weeks before Beijing is set to launch a new economic blueprint for the next five years, Xi ordered the party’s discipline inspectors to flex their supervisory powers even more forcefully and ensure his policies are executed as intended.”
