I grazed through this article today. She was a Marxist professor and is now a dissident. I'm so conflicted toward my feelings of the CCP so I was hoping some Chapos could give their impressions of the article.

This is a good write up. I'm sure there are some truths about the party being bloated and aspects of corruption but she never mentioned how the standard of living has improved and reduction of poverty has dropped.
Absolutely. I am sure that a lot of Xi Jinping's anti-corruption campaign was about consolidating power and eliminating rivals, but it's becoming increasingly clear that much of it was, as the name implies, an actual anti-corruption campaign that has rooted out a lot of the bloat in the party. This is clearly reflected in the CPC's approval ratings—not a coincidence they begin to rise a lot once Xi starts tackling internal corruption!
