They were confirmed by the party’s Central Committee, which concluded a four-day meeting in Beijing on Thursday.中共表示，这些开除党籍的决定此前已由中央政治局作出。周四在北京结束为期四天会议的中共中央委员会确认了这些决定。The communiqué released by the Central Committee confirmed the fate of some officials who had disappeared for months or longer without official explanation. They included Liu Jianchao, a senior foreign affairs official who was most recently the head of the party’s International Department, until he abruptly left that job last year.中央委员会发布的公报证实了一些官员的命运。这些官员此前已消失数月甚至更长时间，官方一直没有作出解释。其中包括高级外事官员刘建超。他此前担任中共中央对外联络部部长，直到去年突然离任。Another was Zhong Shaojun, a senior secretary to Mr. Xi who had served for over a decade as his eyes and ears in the Central Military Commission, which controls the People’s Liberation Army.另一人是钟绍军。他是习近平的一名高级秘书，十多年来一直在掌管中国人民解放军的中央军委中充当习近平的耳目。“This meeting marked a comprehensive purge by Xi Jinping of officials he had promoted since taking office” in 2012, said Wen-Hsuan Tsai, a research fellow at Academia Sinica, an institute in Taiwan, who studies the Chinese Communist Party.研究中国共产党的台湾中央研究院研究员蔡文轩说：“这次会议是习近平对他执政之后提拔的干部一次整体性的清算。”刘建超，2024年摄于新加坡。他是被开除党籍的33名官员之一。 Roslan Rahman/Agence France-Presse — Getty ImagesThe sparse benches at this year’s meeting of the Central Committee, a policy-setting body that meets roughly once a year, told their own story.作为制定政策的机构，中央委员会大约每年召开一次全体会议。今年会议上座席空了很多，这已透露出不少信息。Only 279 officials attended the meeting, the party’s statement said. When the current committee was formed at a Communist Party congress in 2022, it had 376 members.中共的声明称，只有279名官员出席了此次会议。2022年中共全国代表大会选出本届中央委员会时，委员会共有376名成员。That suggests that nearly 100 officials have been removed from the committee over the past four years.这意味着过去四年间，有近100名官员被中央委员会中除名。“This is the biggest purge in history,” Mr. Tsai said, referring to the numbers removed from the committee.“这是历史上规模最大的一次清洗，”蔡文轩谈到中央委员会除名人数时说。The party also confirmed that it would hold its next congress some time in the second half of 2027. At that congress, Mr. Xi is virtually certain to win a fourth five-year term as party general secretary, a feat that would extend his rule to at least 20 years and seal his status as China’s most powerful leader in many decades.中共还证实，下一次全国代表大会将于2027年下半年某个时间举行。届时，习近平几乎肯定会赢得第四个为期五年的中共中央总书记任期。这将使他的执政时间延长至至少20年，并巩固他作为数十年来中国最有权势领导人的地位。 Since he came to power nearly 14 years ago, Mr. Xi has waged campaigns to eradicate corruption and disloyalty in the party, military and security services. But he has recently complained that still too many officials remain disloyal and are tempted by bribes.自近14年前上台以来，习近平一直在党内、军队和安全部门开展运动，以根除腐败和不忠诚行为。但最近，他抱怨仍有太多官员不够忠诚，容易受到贿赂诱惑。This week’s Central Committee meeting focused on instilling stricter discipline in officials.本周的中央委员会会议重点讨论了对官员实施更加严格的纪律约束。“We must maintain a high-pressure stance in punishing corruption and strengthen checks and balances on the exercise of power,” the communiqué from the meeting said. But the party leadership has made similar promises before, including at a Central Committee meeting on the same anticorruption theme a decade ago.会议公报称：“要保持惩治腐败高压态势，加强对权力运行的制约和监督。”但中共领导层此前也作出过类似承诺，包括十年前一次同样以反腐为主题的中央委员会会议。The meeting approved only one major promotion, that of Zhang Shengmin, the general who has overseen sweeping investigations and removals for corruption and disloyalty in the military. He was elevated into the Politburo, the party’s council of over 20 top officials.此次会议只批准了一项重要人事晋升，即将张升民上将提拔进入中央政治局。张升民此前一直负责军队内部针对腐败和不忠诚行为展开的大规模调查和清洗。中央政治局是由20多名中共最高层官员组成的机构。 Of the 33 Central Committee members whose expulsions were confirmed at the meeting this week, 16 came from the military, including Zhang Youxia, formerly China’s most senior general until he was detained for investigation in January.本周会议确认开除党籍的33名中央委员会成员中，有16人来自军方，其中包括张又侠。他曾是中国军方级别最高的将领，直到今年1月被带走接受调查。“This signifies a further strengthening of the military’s disciplinary inspection system,” Mr. Tsai, the Taiwanese scholar, said of General Zhang’s promotion. “It’s possible that more senior officers will be purged in the future.”台湾学者蔡文轩在谈到张升民的晋升时说：“这意味着军队纪检体系的强化。未来军队将领可能还会有人被整肃。”储百亮(Chris Buckley)是《纽约时报》首席中国记者，自台北报道中国和台湾问题，重点关注政治、社会变革以及安全和军事问题。翻译：纽约时报中文网点击查看本文英文版。
