Since his ascension to the throne, the Xi administration has embarked on a massive anti-corruption campaign, with more than 1.5 million officials having been disciplined in various ways to date. Indeed, the Xi administration’s anti-corruption efforts were once well received by the general public and widely praised by the international community. However, over Time, it has become increasingly clear that the Xi administration’s anti-corruption efforts are policy-based and selective.
By policy, it means that the Xi administration can issue directives at any time, sometimes relaxed, sometimes strict, and the legal provisions can be flexibly adjusted according to policy.
By selective, it means that the Xi authorities and officials at all levels in control of cases can choose to be lenient or strict according to the needs of the political situation or factional struggle, as well as the relationship between various parties and the trade-offs, etc. The law is just the handmaiden of those in control at their beck and call. Thus Bo Xilai, who threatened the power of Emperor Xi, was sentenced to Life imprisonment, and Ren Zhiqiang, who attacked Emperor Xi for wearing The Emperor‘s new clothes, was sentenced to 18 years in prison.
Back in 2015, the imperial scribe summarized more than 60 sharp statements by Xi Jinping on launching the fight against corruption.
Officials had also proclaimed: an overwhelming victory in the fight against corruption!
Paradoxically, the decisive victory against corruption by the Xi administration actually set a fruitful record in history since 1949 in the form of Lai Xiaomin, who was executed on Jan. 29 and was accused of taking bribes amounting to 1.788 billion yuan between 2008 and 2018.
It is said that he dared to accept bribes of hundreds of millions of yuan at a time, with cash weighing three tons at Home. What is even more bizarre is that Caixin.com reported that the case of Lai Xiaomin has created the spectacle of “three hundred”, i.e. more than a hundred houses, more than a hundred people involved in the case and more than a hundred mistresses! The article from the source labeled “Huaxing Review” said that these more than 100 lovers plus ex-wives lived together peacefully in a small community and all the children called him their father.
The fact that Lai Xiaomin could be so blatantly corrupt for such a long period of time under the so-called “one body to promote not to dare, not to be corrupted, not to want to be corrupted” environment only shows once again that.
First, the failure of the Xi authorities’ policy and selective anti-corruption! From Lai Xiaomin’s verdict to his execution in just 24 days, it seems that there is a suspicion of selective warnings and cover for some people, especially when it is confirmed that he had a significant meritorious performance. Who were the people who paid him bribes? How were they dealt with? The Xi administration is silent on this!
Second, corruption in China is systemic corruption! In a system where power can create benefits and exchange benefits, corruption is inevitable. Institutional corruption can only be curbed by changes in the system.
Third, the ruling group of the Communist Party of China from top to bottom is already a corrupt interest group with no officials. Anti-corruption is often a means to eradicate dissidents and cannot, dare not, and will not change the system.
Therefore the corruption of the whole ruling group is irreversible! Since the CCP tightly controls society with the help of high-tech means, it is difficult for opposition forces to assemble, both at home and overseas, and it is very difficult for external forces to destroy the CCP rule, but the CCP will surely collapse due to corruption!
