Passion and composure lead anti-graft fight

Some analysts view Xi Jinping, the top leader of the Communist Party of China, as an idealist. While some say that Xi always remains sober-minded. As a matter of fact, idealistic passion is common among those engaged in politics, but a good statesman sets himself apart from others by combining passion with composure. Xi's recent remarks attest to this.

Anyone who keeps an eye on China will know that in 2014, despite the mounting downward pressure on China's economy, the Chinese government and its ruling party still managed to please the Chinese people by pursuing an anti-corruption campaign in a real sense. The campaign has caught both "tigers", high-ranking military officers and government officials in powerful positions, and "flies", petty officials, in the anti-corruption net and brought them to justice.

The campaign has been widely appreciated by the public. But despite its indisputable success and popularity, Xi's analysis and judgment on the issue of corruption have remained level-headed.
