Chinese President Xi Jinping has emphasized the need to “wield the sword” against various issues that emerge within the party, including corruption.

Xinhua News Agency reported this information on Monday, citing an article published in the Chinese Communist Party’s theoretical journal Qiushi.

The article is based on Xi’s speech earlier this year at a plenary session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), China’s top anti-corruption body. Instead of publishing new content, it reiterates Xi’s determination to combat corruption.

The article quotes Xi as saying that various contradictions and problems within the party are inevitable due to changing tasks, the external environment, and the evolution of party members. He stressed the need for courage to turn the blade inward, underscoring the necessity of deepening the party’s self-revolution.

He further emphasized the importance of rectifying conduct, enforcing discipline, and fighting corruption as crucial tools. Xi insisted on consistently maintaining a strict approach, strict measures, and a stringent atmosphere to address these issues.

Under Xi’s leadership, China has continued its high-level anti-corruption purge within the party and government in recent years.

Since the beginning of this year, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has expelled over fifty senior officials, appointed or dismissed. This is the highest number of expulsions since Xi assumed power.

The South China Morning Post reported on December 9 that the CCDI has deployed tens of thousands of corruption investigators to 500,000 rural villages nationwide to conduct extensive inspections.
