While Xi and the CPC is somewhat revisionist they're nowhere near close Trump level evil
There are some revisionist elements in the CPC (I'm wary of Li Qiang for example) but I definitely wouldn't call Xi a revisionist. His installment as General Secretary was more or less an orthodox marxist coup against revisionist Shanghai politicians.
I'm also curious where you see that Xi has mostly targeted revisionist Shanghai politicians.
I'm not disagreeing with you, or not entirely, but I feel like you have something specific relating to this.
Just read up on Xi's anti-corruption campaign, while it wasn't explicitly an ideological purge it's pretty clear that those that it removed weren't exactly devoted marxists.
