Only corrupt party officials in rival factions are being targeted, not corrupt officials in Xi's faction, who are all spared from investigation. It's basically a purge in the name of anti-corruption. To be sure, nearly all of the officials who have been purged should never have been given so much authority in the first place, and would not likely have risen so high if China's rulers were selected by genuine popular elections instead of by the Communist Party's Organization Bureau.
