The fight against corruption remains one of the key policy directions of the Chinese leadership. A large-scale anti-corruption campaign has been carried out since 2012, and during this time many officials of various levels have been investigated and tried. In early 2026, Chinese President Xi Jinping called for strengthening anti-corruption measures under the new five-year plan.
