Xi Jinping\u2019s anti-corruption campaign could be causing more problems than it is solving, according to the editorial translated below, from the American-based World Journal<\/a>. The piece is fueled by rumors of assassination attempts\u2014and successes, though the alleged victims are not named. It claims that President Xi Jinping and anti-corruption czar Wang Qishan have been the targets of several assassination attempts, and that former People\u2019s Liberation Army (PLA) officer Gu Junshan, under investigation for graft<\/a>, has twice escaped death. While none of these claims has been substantiated, the article shows how Xi\u2019s drive to catch both \u201ctigers\u201d and \u201cflies\u201d<\/a> has stoked paranoia and fueled the rumor mill. In a special December report for Reuters, David Langue wrote that Wang Qishan\u2019s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) \u201copenly encourages a climate of fear<\/a>,\u201d a point reiterated in a more recent report by James Palmer at Vice<\/a>. The World Journal<\/a> also points out another potential effect of constant, high-profile graft busting: the growing sense among the public that no one is clean.<\/p>\n

The Spread of Assassination and Suicide: Dangers in Anti-Corruption Campaign Are Everywhere<\/h3>\n

Since 2012, when Xi Jinping took highest position in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), he has cracked down on corruption with an iron fist, and the effects are there for all to see. As the anti-corruption campaign continues, its scope is ever widening, and the dangers are ever increasing. 2015 has been called a crucial year for the CCP anti-corruption campaign. Apart from the imminent trials of former Politburo Standing Committee member Zhou Yongkang<\/a> and some fellow \u201cbig tigers,\u201d former Central Military Commission vice-chair Guo Boxiong and several other \u201cbig tigers\u201d are expected to be sacked at any moment<\/a>. These people for years wielded much power in the Party, and they have numerous henchmen in the Party, government, and military.\u00a0With even the slightest incaution, they will \u201cbite the tigers who failed to suppress them.\u201d\u00a0Recently there has been a constant murmur about assassination plots against Xi Jinping and anti-corruption chief Wang Qishan, while stories of officials committing suicide<\/a> continue to pour in. Both indicate that this campaign is at a critical juncture that won\u2019t be ending anytime soon.<\/p>\n

The ultimate goal of Party\u2019s iron-fisted drive against corruption is undoubtedly to protect the long-term stability of \u201csingle party rule.\u201d There doesn\u2019t seem to be any argument on this point within the Party. But when the anti-corruption hammer falls on your own head, nobody lies down without a fight. Some quickly transfer their assets, send their children overseas, and wait for an opportunity to flee. Others look for new patrons and hope to bide their time in peace. And then there are those cornered dogs who tackle the anti-corruption campaigners head-on, fighting to the brink of death.<\/p>\n

Early on, when political commissar of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Logistics Department Liu Yuan toppled deputy logistics chief Lt. General Gu Junshan by reporting him for corruption, he was twice nearly killed by Gu\u2019s assassins. Government officials neither confirmed nor denied this rumor. But at the \u201cTwo Sessions<\/a>\u201d on March 5, Liu told the Hong Kong media, \u201cThere is an underworld, and there are issues, but there is no such thing as this plot. Do you think the PLA is afraid of this?\u201d It seems that the rumors were far from baseless.<\/p>\n

The most recent assassination rumor focused on Wang Qishan, secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI). Hong Kong media say that Wang has struck such terror in the hearts of corrupt officials that this year he has narrowly escaped a number of plots in Shanxi, Tianjin, and Henan. Hong Kong media have quoted internal Party documents stating \u201ca recent central Party circular revealed that since 2013, primary CCDI officers have suffered more than 40 violent attacks, assassinations or other incidents. Among these, 12 were directed at Wang Qishan.\u201d<\/p>\n

The corrupt bloc within the Party have targeted officials, even the most senior leaders, for assassination and revenge. While this is difficult to confirm, judging by the shadows cast from the paper lantern surrounding the Beijing PLA command and the Central Security Bureau, the high CCP officials sense that the anti-corruption campaign has shoved them into the hostile embrace of vested interests. They must now stay vigilant and refrain from going after the objects of their desire, or else chaos could descend on the mainland.<\/p>\n

Now the CCP is at a crossroads. Besides potential counter-attacks from vested interests, another risk is the drift of people\u2019s feelings about the anti-corruption campaign. One day the masses see an incorruptible official pledging his loyalty to them, and the next day his rot is exposed, his money piling to the heavens. One by one, these exposures break through the people\u2019s mental bottom line, and the idea of the \u201cevil official\u201d rises further. The People\u2019s Daily published an article the other day called \u201cAre There No Good Officials?\u201d<\/a> that quotes the saying, \u201cLocal officials at the deputy level up who are 55 and older are all corrupt. The only difference is whether they\u2019re \u2018tigers\u2019 or \u2018flies.\u2019<\/a>\u201d And then there\u2019s this more ruthless one: \u201cIf you line up all the officials in front of a firing squad, there\u2019s bound to be a few innocents who die. But if you pick them off one by one, some of the guilty will surely slip away.\u201d<\/p>\n

The People\u2019s Daily commentary points out that officialdom is losing its credibility. When people hear that an official has committed suicide, they think he must have been avoiding punishment for his crimes. Mention that a female official was promoted, and they suspect there\u2019s some unspoken rule. If they see a luxury car in an accident, they connect it to the \u201cgoverning second generation<\/a>\u201d and the \u201crich second generation<\/a>.\u201d Add to this the visual impact of \u201ccorrupt officials every day\u201d who are \u201ccaught without fail\u201d and you further prove the theory that \u201cthere are no clean officials.\u201d<\/p>\n

The People\u2019s Daily reflects on whether the CCP should continue the anti-corruption campaign, and whether corrupt officials should ask for amnesty; it also reflects on the heel-dragging of \u201ctigers\u201d and the difficulty of carrying out the campaign. There are overseas reports that say the Politburo Standing Committee once held a vote on amnesty for corrupt officials, and that only Xi Jinping, Li Keqiang, and Wang Qishan were opposed. Hong Kong\u2019s Wen Wei Po<\/a> quoted Gao Bo, assistant secretary of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Center for Clean Government: \u201cWhen Wang Qishan was recently asked about the possibility of amnesty for corrupt officials, he took a deep sigh and said, \u2018It isn\u2019t time yet.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

While the corrupt bloc has rebounded, the bureaucrats have used \u201cdo-nothingness\u201d as a form of passive resistance<\/a> to the anti-corruption campaign. This renders the authorities doubly incapable. Several times now Li Keqiang has warned the \u201cdo-nothing\u201d officials that \u201clazy governance\u201d is also a form of corruption, and that they must hold themselves accountable.<\/p>\n

The CCP stresses that the anti-corruption campaign is \u201cforever in progress.\u201d They must face the risk of inertia or imperceptible movement within the bureaucracy. Assassination, retaliation, and counter-attacks have created a big variable in fighting corruption and maintaining stability. Step by step, risks and opportunities emerge for Xi Jinping and Wang Qishan\u2019s own safety, and even for how they\u2019ll fend off revenge after retirement. Whether this is a power struggle or a cleanup of government, and where this process sits between right and wrong, is impossible for an outsider to know. [Chinese<\/strong><\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
