Before Xi Jinping’s public message, the Chinese Communist Party announced the expulsion of 33 officials as part of a campaign to enforce discipline and combat corruption. Among those removed were Zhang Youxia, former vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, and Liu Zhenli, former chief of the Joint Staff Department, as well as Ma Xingrui, former party leader in Xinjiang. Following the measure, the Central Military Commission was left with only two active members: Xi Jinping and General Zhang Shengmin, who was promoted to the Politburo.

Chinese President Xi Jinping warned that problems of ideological, organizational, and conduct “impurity” within the Chinese Communist Party have not been eliminated at the root, in a speech published on Sunday. The statement anticipates tighter internal discipline and increased scrutiny of officials.
The message was delivered after the plenary session held between October 26 and 29, approximately one year before the 2027 CPC Congress. Xi argued that, despite the disciplinary campaign launched in 2012, risks persist that affect the party’s ability to remain in power.
The adopted resolution provides for checks on leaders’ assets and family expenditures, oversight of their relatives’ business dealings, and monitoring of retired officials. Hidden forms of corruption are also targeted, including through intermediaries, cryptocurrencies, cross-border transfers, and “revolving doors” between politics and companies.
According to an official report, 680,000 people were sanctioned between January and September, including 105 high-ranking officials. Investigations into military and political leaders continue, while Xi prepares for the next congress without an obvious successor.
Context: before Xi’s speech, the CCP continued the purges and expelled dozens of officials
