You're assuming that he's not corrupt. That's not a good assumption in a Communist country.
Here is a link to a good explanation of 'Face' Culture in China. Here are some excerpts:
Although in the West we talk about saving face on occasion, the concept of face (面子)is far more deeply-rooted in China, and its something youll hear people talk about all the time.The mayor has obviously "lost face" as a result of letting this get out of control. Offering to resign is a gesture to "restore face."'Face'
Just like in the English expression saving face, the face were talking about here isnt a literal face. Rather, its a metaphor for a persons reputation amongst their peers. So, for example, if you hear it said that someone has face, that means that they have a good reputation. Someone who doesnt have face is someone who has a very bad reputation.Common Expressions Involving 'Face'
Having face (有面子): Having a good reputation or good social standing.
Not having face (没面子): Not having a good reputation or having bad social standing.
Giving face (给面子): Giving deference to someone in order to improve their standing or reputation, or to pay homage to their superior reputation or standing.
Losing face (丢脸): Losing social status or hurting ones reputation.
Not wanting face (不要脸): Acting shamelessly in a way that suggests one doesnt care about ones own reputation.'Face' in Chinese Society
Although there are obviously exceptions, in general, Chinese society is quite conscious of hierarchy and reputation among social groups. People who have good reputations can buoy the social standing of others by giving them face in various ways. At school, for example, if a popular child chooses to play or do a project with a new student whos not well known, the popular child is giving the new student face, and improving their reputation and social standing within the group. Similarly, if a child tries to join a group thats popular and is rebuffed, they will have lost face.
