Tang's sentence is like a ripple effect - one high-ranking official goes down, but what about the ones above him? Is Xi just cleaning house or using anti-corruption as a smokescreen for his own power plays? I mean, if officials with problems are getting promoted and then caught, it doesn't exactly scream "effective corruption-fighting". It's like they're playing a game of musical chairs, where the only ones left standing are the ones who know how to play. What about the actual people affected by these corruption scandals? Are we just supposed to forget that Tang was using his position for personal gain? The verdict may be a win for transparency, but is it also a win for Xi's consolidation of power?
