Speak specifically. Which anarchist government are you referring to?
Because I can point to plenty of anarchist communities - from Chaz in Seattle to the 1930s Spanish Anarchists - who were as plagued with corruption and abuse of authority.
Never even mind the Anarcho-Capitalists that have been central to the modern era of human trafficking, war profiteering, and environmental pillaging.

Michelle Bachelet got screamed at by the NatSec crowd when she came back from her tour of China and failed to find the litany of atrocities that Christian Nationalists in the NATO block had alleged
Something of a joke over the last few years that the Israeli genocide in Gaza and the civil war in South Sudan has eclipsed the UN's attention, in large part because the "anti-genocide" voices on China have had to rapidly pivot to being genocide-denialist across North Africa and the Middle East.
If you can find me the equivalent of hospitals being bombed, populations starved into submission, and children with brains blown out by sniper fire as they were carried by terrified parents, I'd be genuinely curious to see it.
That's always the game isn't it? "How dare you defy my political orthodoxy! You're the real criminal here!"
You can't stomach the most tepid opposition. The slightest whisper of defiance to the fascist narrative sends you into spirals of invective. When you're presented with a simple request for clarification, all you can do is scream Red Scare tropes and pound the downvote button.
I never said it eliminated it. Just that it accounted for it. Keeping governance flat and small. So it doesn't produce corruption on a national level. Or export it.
And in the end, what does it matter. Every ML government has been corrupted and pushed it's corruption at a much larger scale. That's the point. The scale and mass of those
And as to your linked investigation, that's not particularly convincing one way or the other. If China was good as you pretend, they would have a free press. Instead they repress. Foreign press have where they can go severely restricted often accompanied by minders to make sure they don't get close to what they're looking for. And finally, it's very common for those that are abused to deny their abuse as long as they are vulnerable to their abuser. Here's a link to an interview. Where at one point family and activists confront a CCP rep about the disappearance of their friends and family. Where he convincingly screeches "OnE cHiNa!!!" In response to not having the power to disappear. I know you deny these peoples existence. I bet you'll even resort to old trusty. CIA or NATO conspiracy!
But the fact is secrecy and suppression is not the hallmark of the innocent.The leaders of ML governments are human just like everyone else. They aren't divine or infallible. No matter how much ideology blinded campists like yourself, claim otherwise.
