If Xi wants his absolute power (assuming that's his goal), then he's gonna have to take it by taking China back from all of the corrupt party officials. I've always wondered if the party is aware of some of the…"humanitarian issues" like harvesting organs from the Falun Gong in that country since communism and rampant corruption go together like water and water. It's also a nightmare for the central government to police what's going on far away from them because of the layers of bureaucracy and the level of corruption. Same shit was known to happen in the USSR.
