The official website of the CCP’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection issued a document on Feb. 2, stating that 5,836 “top leaders” at or above the county and department level were “investigated” last year.

At the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) recent Politburo meeting, party leader Xi Jinping emphasized the need to strengthen central supervision of key party officials across all levels of the government, but particularly “top regional leaders” who wield power and influence in their regions.
