The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said on Friday that no one in the Communist Party’s ruling elite is off-limits in its anti-corruption campaign, Reuters reported. Officials last week announced that Xu Caihou, former vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, had been expelled from the Party and will be court-martialled on corruption charges. Xu is the most senior person to date to have been felled. Potentially even more significant is the case of former domestic security chief, Zhou Yongkang, who is allegedly under house arrest. While the party made no announcement about his case, many of his allies have been publicly taken down.
