Xinhua on December 29, 2015, disclosed that the 25-member Politburo of the CCP CC had held a “democratic life meeting” on December 28, 2015, when China’s President Xi Jinping called on top Communist Party leaders to strictly manage the people close to them to prevent corruption – and to learn from the fall of their former colleagues Zhou Yongkang, Bo Xilai and others. Preventing the re-emergence of corrupt practices and upholding the party’s working style were identified as the continuing top priorities. Xi Jinping asked fellow leaders to act as role models and to monitor and correct the behaviour of wayward members of their families or people working for them. He said “Comrades of the politburo must not feel any superiority in terms of power and position.”
