UnveiledChina (@Unveiled_ChinaX) “The iron fist of Xi Jinping’s endless anti-corruption campaign has just smashed” — TopicDigg

The iron fist of Xi Jinping’s endless anti-corruption campaign has just smashed into the highest echelons of China’s military-industrial complex and automotive sectors. In a brief but devastating announcement, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) confirmed that ministerial-level official Xu Liuping is under investigation for "suspected serious violations of discipline and law." Xu is a heavyweight in state-run industry; he currently serves as the Party chief of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions and previously held the top chairmanships at major state-owned automakers FAW Group and Changan Auto, alongside a decade-long tenure at defense giant China South Industries Group Corporation. While the Party uses "discipline violations" as its standard euphemism for corruption, the targeting of a high-profile executive with deep roots in both weapons manufacturing and state automotive giants is highly strategic. It sends an uncompromising shockwave through China's state-owned enterprises (SOEs), signaling that no matter how vital an executive is to the regime's industrial and defense ambitions, absolute political loyalty to the top is the only currency that guarantees survival. #UnveiledChina# #CCDIInvestigation# #XuLiuping# #AntiCorruption# #ChinaDefense# #FAWGroup# #StateOwnedEnterprises# #BeijingCrackdown#
