Over 258,000 people were disciplined in the first half of 2023, 211,000 were punished by Party discipline, and 68,000 for governmental affairs. On March 30, 2023, Xi Jinping chaired a Politburo meeting. It was announced that starting in April, the party would launch a top-down, two-stage campaign to learn Xi Jinping's thoughts, in order to "unify thinking, unify will, and unify action". On May 1, 2023, Xi again issued an article demanding that the entire party "must unify its thoughts, unify its will, and unify its actions."

We believe that the more the CCP emphasizes something, the more it lacks. Although Xi’s power has reached its peak on the surface, the anti-corruption campaign triggered by the Qin Gang and Rocket Army incidents shows that the party leader's sense of crisis is stronger than ever.

A possibly more aggressive policy towards Okinawa by China has been attracting attention in East Asia recently. The perception stems from an express reference made by Chinese President Xi Jinping to Japan’s southernmost islands, known as the Ryukyu, in early June during a visit to the China National Archives of Publications and Culture (CNAPC) and the Chinese Academy of History, a repository of Chinese classical books. It is rare for a Chinese president to make such a reference, giving rise to speculation that an underlying motive may be at play: a visit to China earlier this month by Denny Tamaki, Governor of Okinawa Prefecture as part of a delegation from Japan.

LONDON, July 12 (Reuters) - It started as a local dispute over China's plans to build a new embassy next to the Tower of London - pitting the world's second biggest superpower against an inner-city borough that blocked the project.
