Xi can disappear anyone he doesn't like. He doesn't need to personally oversee every company, the threat of being visited by police is enough to keep them in line.

Oh, so you noticed the US is bad, congratulations. Let me know when you realize China is just as bad.

None of it says Xi can kill anyone he likes, moreover this is BBC, which frequently pays to report anti-China propaganda regardless of validity.
