Holding power also means taking responsibility. The greater the power one has, the more responsibility he shall take. Corruption is neither excusable nor allowable for any party.

If members of the ruling party, those who are in charge of the affairs of the party and the affairs of the country are not of good character, are not disciplined, are not of good behavior, of course society will follow suit. China is respected internationally because of the leadership of the Communist Party and because specifically right at the present moment, the leadership of President Xi. He is leading by example. He is leading at home and he is leading internationally.
