Yep the introduction written by Jordan Schneider was really confusing and seemed to want to portray the crackdown by Xi solely as something to weed out dissidents. That might have been some part of it especially in high-profile cases, but in general the drive to crack down corruption and make the officialdom more service-minded is definitely genuine, and people have been taking positive note of this. A lot of previous officials have simply resigned and gone into the private sector in order to make more money as a result as well.
