China's ruling Communist party says it has probed almost 5 million members for possible corruption over the last decade, with formal criminal cases brought against 553.
Whether that will curb an widening economic slowdown and restore faith in the authoritarian system remains unclear.
Now seeking a third term as head of the party, government and military, Xi has made fighting corruption a signature of his administration. One of Xi's key policies, the anticorruption campaign has been largely popular with the public and conveniently enabled him to sideline potential rivals. Xi, 69, reaffirmed the party's total control of Chinese politics, economy and society in a speech Sunday at the opening session of the party Congress.
Just years later, the senior Xi was placed under detention as Mao turned on his former comrades and Xi Jinping was driven from his home during the 1966-76 Cultural Revolution, which banished intellectuals to the countryside and subjected many to public humiliation and brutal beatings in the name of class struggle.
"Xi Jinping Thought" emphasizes reviving the party's mission as China's political, economic, social and cultural leader and its central role in achieving the goal of "national rejuvenation," the restoration of the country to a position of prominence in the world.
