Since his reign began in 2012, Xi Jinping’s endless purges have removed millions of officials — from top-ranked Communist Party “tigers” down to lowly bureaucratic “flies,” to use Xi’s evocative terminology.

Millions of officials? This must be a typo?

I mean, there are 2.8 million civilians in the United States civil service. I'd imagine a country with 4 times the population would have a few more than that.
