China's economic condition is not good. Due to the trade war with America, Xi Jinping's government has run out of money so much that it has now issued an order for government officials, which you will be surprised to hear about.

In fact, China has clearly told its government officials to stop roaming around too much, eating in expensive hotels or occupying more space than necessary in the office. Apart from this, the habit of drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes using government money will also have to be given up.

Reduce expenses, understand the situation!

According to the report of the government news agency Xinhua, this new order has been issued by the Communist Party and the government of China to the officials of the whole country. It has been clearly stated in it that it is necessary to curb wasteful expenditure and "strict discipline and savings" will have to be adopted.

China is facing financial crisis

Actually, China's economy is under pressure right now. The income from land sales has decreased and this has started to shake the budget of local governments. The burden of debt is also increasing. In such a situation, President Xi Jinping has again returned to his old line, "Tighten the belt, stop showing off."

The campaign has been ongoing since 2012

When Xi Jinping took power in 2012, he started a campaign to curb corruption and pomp in the government. Now the same campaign is gaining momentum again. During the Parliament session held in March 2025, officials had also promised that the government will control its pocket money to provide relief to the public.

"Expensive parties will no longer be allowed"

This is the time to save

Last year too, Beijing had taken big steps to bring government debt under control so that the economy could be managed. Now when the situation is more serious, China is showing the mirror to its own officials.
