Former China Correspondent Rowan Callick says the Chinese Communist Party was a “revolutionary party at first” but now is a “controlling party”.
“Xi Jinping has done everything he can to ensure that China and the Communist Party are inseparable. You can’t split the history, the people, the culture, from the party,” Mr Callick told Sky News host Peta Credlin.
“Its big aim now for the second century, its entering, is to make sure that the world is safe for itself.” He said President Xi Jinping has “marked a step backwards” when it comes to corruption within the Chinese government. “He came to power promising the party elders he’d purge the party of the kind of corruption which was inevitably setting in as China became more wealthy and the party retained all power,” Mr Callick said.
