Chinese President Xi Jinping is not backing down on his campaign to rid China of its corrupt officials.

The Chinese Communist Party leader is leading the crackdown to throw out several "big tigers" in the country. His efforts, however, are met with disdain from some of his party members, who wants Xi to hold off on his "big tiger crackdown."

In June, Xi responded to his party's demands with a resounding warning, "Who is afraid of who."

Several Beijing news agencies reported that Xi made the thunderous response during a Politburo meeting on June 26. During the meeting, the CCP leader refuted several issues that hound the country's anti-corruption effort.

Xi said a CCP member wanted the crackdown to stop following the arrests of more than 30 vice minister cadres after the 18th National Congress. The party insider said the arrests "should be good enough" for the Beijing authorities, but Xi maintained that there is no limit to the arrests until the Chinese government is rid of corrupt officials.

Among those who were thrown out of their offices in the past weeks include several "big tigers," including Xu Caihou, general of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and former member of the Politburo, and Su Rong, a senior politician of the People's Republic of China.

Xi also challenged party members who have threatened him to stop the arrests. He warned corrupt officials and reminded them of Zhu Rongji, a tough and prominent Chinese politician, who wanted to prepare 100 coffins for wayward government officers

"Today we also have the same courage," Xi said.

The president's last point was another warning directed not only to the authorities, but to the entire Chinese population. The CCP leader said that the government's campaign against corruption will treat every area in China equally, which means that no city will get special treatment even if CCP leaders have worked in it in the past.
