Fewsmith in CSM on Xi’s Anticorruption Campaign
Joseph Fewsmith, Professor of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, was recently interviewed on the anticorruption campaign of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Fewsmith was quoted in an October 24, 2016 article in the Christian Science Monitor entitled “For China’s Xi, Anticorruption Drive is All About Communist Party Survival.”
From the text of the article:
“Xi Jinping has set out over the last four years to restore what he thinks the party should be, a highly disciplined party with certain ideals and convictions,” says Joseph Fewsmith, a professor at Boston University who specializes in elite Chinese politics. “He’s trying to make it into a party that will respond to Beijing’s dictates, especially to his own.”
