"Xi Jinping Intensifies Crackdown on Corruption in China, Vows 'No Mercy' in Graft Fight"

Chinese leader Xi Jinping has pledged to intensify the anti-corruption campaign by targeting "flies and ants," referring to small-scale corruption in industries like finance, energy, and infrastructure. The crackdown, a signature project of Xi's, will focus on state-owned enterprises and aims to address deep-rooted corruption in the economy. Recent oustings of military figures and a top business leader indicate that the campaign is far from over, with Xi emphasizing that there will be no compromise on anti-corruption efforts.
