Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered strong statements Saturday demanding absolute military allegiance to the Communist Party while intensifying anti-corruption efforts, as reported by China’s state-run Xinhua news agency.<\/p>

Speaking during the nation’s significant annual political gatherings, Xi declared that corruption has nowhere to escape. “There is no place for corruption to hide,” Xi stated. “The fight against corruption must move forward.”<\/p>

Xi’s statements were delivered during the yearly sessions of China’s most important political institutions, where government leaders announced the country’s economic objectives for the coming year.<\/p>

The anti-corruption message gained additional significance as two high-ranking Chinese leaders were notably missing from Wednesday’s opening ceremonies of the annual political meetings, apparently caught up in ongoing government purges targeting top Communist Party officials.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
