THE fortunes of the richest 100 members of China's Parliament and its advisory body - all dollar billionaires - grew about 64 per cent in the four years since President Xi Jinping rose to power, according to data from an organisation tracking wealth in China.
Mr Xi has overseen a crackdown on corruption and decadence, and made the fight against poverty a top priority after becoming president in 2013.
