No, it hasnt changed, the sentence is just missing the addendum.
"China's government [..] is always enormously intolerant of corruption UNLESS they're a member of the Communist Party, who is in good standing with President Xi, and remembers to pay a portion of their corrupt income up the chain."
I guess the author just felt that addendum went without saying...
