Xi Jinping

As of April 2026, there are no publicly reported scandals, criminal charges, convictions, or formal investigations involving Xi Jinping himself. The available information indicates that Xi has been engaged in an extensive anti-corruption campaign since he became General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party in 2012, which has targeted numerous high-ranking officials, military leaders, and party members (BBC; Wikipedia). This campaign has been characterized as the most systematic and wide-reaching in CCP history, often described as a purge aimed at consolidating Xi's power (Wikipedia). However, some high-profile military figures and officials have been investigated or purged during this period. For example, in January 2026, top military leaders such as Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli were placed under investigation for "serious violations of discipline and law," which is a common phrase used in China to denote corruption or misconduct (NBC News; DW). These investigations are part of Xi's broader effort to tighten control over the military and government officials, but there are no reports of charges or convictions directly against Xi himself. In summary, while Xi Jinping has overseen a significant anti-corruption crackdown that has resulted in the investigation and removal of numerous officials, there are no publicly available allegations, charges, or convictions against him personally as of April 2026 (BBC; Wikipedia).
