The campaign has ensnared thousands of senior officials who have been punished for alleged corrupt activities, including for aiding family members with business interests and bribery. …

The past efforts to censor this information also suggests that the party leaders believe public reporting on their wealth and potentially corrupt actives are also a threat to their power that could be exploited by President Trump to put pressure on Beijing, one expert says. …
