Meanwhile, in China, Xi has gained considerable confidence through his massive anti-corruption campaign, with the punishment of top military officers indicating that he has solidified his control over the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). As a result, Xi may believe that he now has more space to address the country’s economic slowdown, including by lessening the damage wrought by weakening ties with Japan.
与此同时，在中国，习近平通过其大规模反腐运动而获得了很大信心，对顶级军官的处罚表明他已经掌握了解放军控制权。因此，习近平也许认为现在有了更多空间处理中国经济减速的问题，包括减轻因与日本交恶而导致的伤害。
