His time in power has so far been defined by a fight against a rival faction, and now he has put Party members on warning that factionalism itself has to end.
At the Politburo’s final meeting of 2014 Chinese Communist Party (CCP) head Xi Jinping announced that in 2015 there would be zero tolerance for political cliques within the Party.
He also commented that the ongoing anti-corruption campaign, launched soon after he became Party head in November 2012, remains “difficult and complicated,” state-run Xinhua News Agency reported.
"Anti-corruption is simply another word for political infighting."
