CNA: China's Xi vows intensified crackdown on corruption  

BEIJING: Chinese President Xi Jinping has vowed to step up a crackdown on corruption in key sectors, including finance, energy and infrastructure, state media reported. 

Xi, who began his second decade as China's top leader in 2022 in a break with longstanding political norms, has waged a fierce campaign against corruption since taking power. 

Proponents say the campaign promotes clean governance, though critics counter that it serves as a vehicle for Xi to purge political opponents. 

In a speech to the ruling Communist Party's anti-graft agency, Xi ordered "greater efforts" to fight corruption in "finance, state-owned enterprises, energy, medicine and infrastructure", state news agency Xinhua reported late on Monday (Jan 8).

One reason China lost the 1895 was against Japan was due to gunpowder being replaced by flour.

I think Xi is a hopped up, no good dictator, but if there was really water in the missiles, heads need to roll.
