So far, Xi seems to be up to the challenge. He has been boldly pursuing major figures who were previously considered “untouchable,” such as General Xu Caihou, a former vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, and Zhou Yongkang, a former member of the Politburo Standing Committee, China’s highest government body.
目前，习近平似乎占据了对这一挑战的上风。他大胆地将目标对准了此前被认为“不可触及”的大人物，如前中央军委副主席徐才厚和前中共中央政治局常委周永康。
