Abstract: President Xi Jinping gave the directives to investigate Zhou Yongkang and Xu Caihou, breaking the immunity of Politburo Standing Committee members and Central Military Commission leaders from anti-graft probes. Xi has consolidated the once-fragmented power to himself by heading several newly established leading small groups. He has also rolled out many socioeconomic and political reform tasks long obstructed by vested interests. Xi's full power consolidation heavily relies on his control of the People's Liberation Army.
