Xi Jinping News / Chinese President Xi Jinping's address revealed, media shows him giving instructions

Xi Jinping News: According to a recent report by the South China Morning Post, Chinese President Xi Jinping has again made his public appearance after several days of obscurity. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and state media showed him giving instructions to the Politburo last Monday. This incident indicates that Xi Jinping is still firmly holding the reins of power. During this, he emphasized the anti-corruption campaign and the policy of zero tolerance towards party discipline.

Since when was he missing?

According to media reports, Xi Jinping was away from public events since May 20, 2025. His absence gave rise to a lot of speculation. Some were claiming that he was under house arrest, while others were linking his absence to the ongoing turmoil in the Chinese Army (PLA). However, according to the South China Morning Post's claim, Xi attended the Politburo meeting and issued important instructions.

Xi's message to the politburo

Addressing a group study meeting of the 24-member politburo on Monday, Xi called for further strengthening the anti-corruption drive. He said the country needs a "clear, transparent and traceable" process to monitor the national anti-corruption drive. The remarks came on the eve of the 104th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. "Fighting corruption requires controlling the exercise of power. We must improve the institutional mechanism to integrate the exercise, control and exercise of power," Xi stressed.

Respect for the people, the party and the law

Xi called on party members and officials to respect the people, the party and the law. "All power is given by the people. So we must respect the people, the party, the law and discipline," he said. He also stressed the need to strictly implement the decade-old eight-point simplicity rules that were introduced after he came to power in 2012. These rules are part of a comprehensive education campaign to control the corrupt and hedonistic tendencies of party members.

Army turmoil and suspension of military officers

In the recent past, Xi Jinping has suspended and expelled several senior military officers of the PLA, after which there have been reports of widespread discontent and turmoil in the army. During this time, rumors of his absence also intensified. However, now his return and re-implementation of the eight-point rules make it clear that he is committed to strengthening discipline in the party and the country.

Monitoring public opinion and "advanced post"

Xi said that caring for the public and monitoring public opinion should be made an "advanced post". He stressed the need for better coordination among various monitoring mechanisms. At the same time, he described Chinese modernization as a difficult task and said that the party is facing an "extremely complex administrative environment". In this situation, it is even more important to maintain the spirit of self-improvement.

Zero tolerance for discipline

Xi Jinping called for implementing party discipline as an “iron law” that can show “iron teeth”. He called on senior officials, especially the top leadership, to lead this effort and strictly rein in all forms of “unhealthy tendencies”. Xi also said that discipline should not be limited to rules on paper but should be translated into real action.
