Impacts Economic and financial troubles will make demonstrations of success elsewhere all the more important, including anti-corruption efforts. Breaking Jiang's influence in the military could help Xi push through restructuring plans. Jiang is among China's best-known politicians internationally; publicly shaming him could hurt the image of the Party and the country.
