Combating graft and corruption has been a central plank of Nguyễn Phú Trọng’s political career. Since becoming the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam in 2011, he has spearheaded a high-profile anti-corruption campaign, resulting in the prosecution of numerous high-ranking officials, including former Politburo members and government ministers. The campaign has been widely seen as an effort to consolidate power and root out internal dissent within the party.
