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).
