    Let’s not pretend this is Anti-Corruption. Xi has replacements in mind for this position just like all the generals he recently executed. He’s basically selling these spots to oligarchs to keep his infinite term going.

      Yes.

      China is a corrupt, genocidal, imperialist and capitalist country but there’s a flavor of the left who will give them all the passes because they’re not america.

        Frankly, at this point, are tankies still leftist if they are full on authoritarian genocide-denialist imperialists in denial?

        Because if we’re not limiting ourselves to the economical spectrum, these guys are not even close.

      It’s very easy to maintain power over a cabinet where everyone is corrupt, whenever one falls out of line, you make a spectacle of being hard on corruption, while skipping your allies

    That’s why they call it capital punishment!
