[Xi] has ramped up a crackdown on petty corruption, which has targeted opulence, bribery and other misconduct by low-level bureaucrats that affect ordinary citizens.

I hope they also target the big fish.

Despite the enforcement, “cadres will continue to skirt around those new rules and find ways to continue to engage in ‘research’—yanjiu,” Wedeman said, referring to a Chinese phrase that also sounds like “tobacco and alcohol.”

Learning mandarin must be fun.

All in all, what's the deal with it, bezos?

Yeah, I hope they go after the big fish too. Honestly, they've done a lot of that already in their anti-corruption campaign, and it may be the case at this point that many of the low-level guys are worse; being in a (relatively) unimportant and less visible position often means you can fly under the radar and get away with stuff that people higher up couldn't. The Party is probably taking the "flies" seriously because low-level bureaucrat are generally the ones who have immediate contact with the masses; if you're an average citizen with not too much political awareness, encountering corruption in local agencies can really turn you against the government. Think how many Americans become soured on any kind of government regulation or planning after one visit to the DMV.

research sounding like tobacco and alcohol is something I have never seen a single Chinese person ever point out, nor have I ever noticed. The intonations are basically polar opposites too, so I have no clue what this loser is getting at.
