The Chinese-language edition of Voice of America on August 4, 2014, interviewed Li Weidong, ex-publisher of the official China Reform Magazine and who is reported to have good insights into Zhongnanhai. According to Li Weidong, the ultimate goal of Xi Jinping's campaign is to stamp out the influence of all party elders so as to become a real dictator in China. His strategy is to probe the corruption of the 19 retired Politburo Standing Committee members who are still alive. Li Weidong describes Xi Jinping as a "fundamental Marxist-cum-Leninist-cum-Maoist".
