Chinese President Xi Jinping has said internal divisions within the ruling Communist party were inevitable but that it must “turn the knife inward” to instil discipline, in a newly disclosed call to root out corrupt officials.
The remarks were made at a meeting of the anti-graft watchdog in January, but only published in the party’s flagship policy journal Qiushi on Monday.
