Xi Jinping Calls for Accountability Among Communist Party Officials Amid Economic Slowdown
Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized that power must be matched by responsibility, warning Communist Party officials that failures to fulfill duties will lead to accountability. In an article on party self-governance, Xi called for a targeted accountability mechanism and stressed that leading officials bear primary responsibility for rigorous self-governance. This message aligns with his ongoing anti-corruption campaign amid China's economic slowdown, with GDP growth easing to 4.3% in the second quarter. Xi is currently serving an unprecedented third term and is expected to seek a fourth.
