Inside Xi Jinping’s Bizarre War on Golf

In this special edition of the PDB Afternoon Bulletin–We take a step back from the daily headlines to explore one of the strangest political fault lines in modern China: Xi Jinping’s war on the game of golf. We explain how golf became associated with corruption, elite privilege, and unwanted Western influence inside the Chinese Communist Party—and why Party officials learned to treat it as politically radioactive. We trace the story from Mao Zedong’s condemnation of the sport, through China’s underground golf boom, to Xi’s sweeping anti-corruption campaign that turned golf clubs into targets.

O’Neill walks through the group’s ideology, how far-left extremist movements organize and radicalize, and what warning signs investigators look for before plots like this turn deadly.
