Xi Jinping has instructed Party and government bodies to sustain an open-ended campaign against formalism, bureaucratism, hedonism and extravagance, warning that misconduct is recurring in new guises. The directive, reinforced by a Central Committee General Office circular and timed ahead of the holiday season, signals intensified enforcement and higher accountability pressure on local officials to prioritize real implementation over publicity.
