Currently China is almost completely responsible for raising people out of poverty on a global scale. This suggests that, if the CPC is funneling money into the accounts of government officials, it’s mostly being used to build wealth for the people.
Besides, if the CPC has the power to limit the salaries of the wealthy, why bother jumping through hoops to raise your personal wealth when you could just raise your salary, or use a priori knowledge of the stock markets and accept "lobbying " money to raise your level of wealth like American politicians?
The Chinese national government has a surplus, but the local and provincial governments are running massive deficits and have been for a while. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of these actions are to free up cash for the necessary wealth transfer to keep the popping of the property bubble from becoming too catastrophic to the retiring population.
Does anybody actually dislike this result?
I do, but only because said “financial elite” exists to begin with
Billionaire CEOs. Imagine if Elon had to comply because Tesla has a factory in China.
I just came

Do you have a source for this suspicion?

Why did you put taxes in quotation?
Because the local governments are just going to be embezzling it at the end of the day.

That makes no sense when the CPC can already create as many Yuan as it pleases out of thin air.
