BEIJING (Bloomberg): Chinese President Xi Jinping (pic) indicated that an anti-graft campaign that has already ensnared 4.7 million officials will continue well into his third term, focusing over the coming year on areas where power, money and resources are concentrated.

A meeting of the 24-member Politburo chaired by Xi on Tuesday (Dec 7) determined that the country has achieved an "overwhelming victory” in its battle against corruption but the work is still "far from over,” according to the official Xinhua News Agency.
