Xi expels 33 party cadres
The Chinese Communist Party announced that 33 officials had been ousted at its Fifth Plenum, the largest purge of its kind in the party’s modern history, amid a campaign led by President Xi Jinping. Of the Central Committee’s 376 members, 279 attended—meaning more than 25% were absent. Those removed included Zhang Youxia and Ma Xingrui, while the Central Military Commission was reduced to just two members. Analysts say the campaign reflects tighter discipline and an effort to fight corruption, but raises questions about whether it is also being used to sideline rivals. The meeting paved the way for the 2027 Party Congress, where Xi is expected to seek a fourth term.
