I grazed through this article today. She was a Marxist professor and is now a dissident. I'm so conflicted toward my feelings of the CCP so I was hoping some Chapos could give their impressions of the article.

    Absolutely. I am sure that a lot of Xi Jinping's anti-corruption campaign was about consolidating power and eliminating rivals, but it's becoming increasingly clear that much of it was, as the name implies, an actual anti-corruption campaign that has rooted out a lot of the bloat in the party. This is clearly reflected in the CPC's approval ratings—not a coincidence they begin to rise a lot once Xi starts tackling internal corruption!
