BEIJING (Reuters) - China is investigating 14 of its senior military officers, including the son of one of its former top generals, for suspected corruption, state media said on Monday, the latest wave of Beijing's intensifying anti-graft campaign in the army.
The Defence Ministry said one of the officers under investigation was Guo Zhenggang, the son of Guo Boxiong, who retired as vice chairman of the powerful Central Military Commission in 2013.

WNU Editor: Chinese President Xi made it very clear when he assumed the office that there will be no leniency in his push to clean up the party, government and military from rampant fraud. He is .... to the surprise of many (myself included) .... keeping true to his word.
WNU do you think any of these actions can eventually backfire against the president or the party.
ReplyDeleteI ask the same questions to my friends in China .... and they are too scared to answer. My gut is telling me that he is control, and it will not backfire because his opponents are not organized.
ReplyDeleteThose that are guilty already know there days are numbered. Mafia in the making perhaps?
