A commentary published widely in Chinese state-run media described President Xi Jinping’s regulatory crackdown as a "profound revolution” sweeping the country and warned that anyone who resisted would face punishment.
"This is a return from the capital group to the masses of the people, and this is a transformation from capital-centered to people-centered,” the commentary said, adding that it marked a return to the original intention of the Communist Party. "Therefore, this is a political change, and the people are becoming the main body of this change again, and all those who block this people-centered change will be discarded.”
The opinion piece was originally published by a WeChat blogger who goes by the name "Li Guangman Ice Point Commentary.” In an unusual move that indicated official support, it was reposted online by major state-run media outlets including Communist Party mouthpiece People’s Daily, Xinhua News Agency, PLA Daily, CCTV, China Youth Daily and China News Service.
