In a speech on Jan 12, Chinese President Xi Jinping said the fight against corruption remains “severe and complex”, while calling for an “unwavering high-pressure stance”.
China must promote the anti-corruption efforts with stronger determination and find innovative ways to tackle any new trends of corruption, Xi said during a CCDI plenary session.
“Corruption is a roadblock and stumbling stone to the Party and nation’s development,” he added.
“The fight against corruption is a major battle that we cannot afford to lose and must not lose.”
His high-profile campaign against corruption continues.
Two top Chinese military leaders were expelled from the ruling Communist Party and the military on corruption charges in October.
In their 2025 campaign, authorities investigated 33,000 individuals for offering bribes and transferred 4,306 of them to prosecutors.
Figures were up from 26,000 investigations and 4,271 transfers recorded in 2024, CCDI said.
