As the Chinese saying goes: “A large tree has deep roots.” Such is the case with fallen security boss Zhou Yongkang.

Wang Qishan, head of the Chinese regime’s disciplinary agency, stressed that the agency was no “holy land” and vowed to root out violations in its ranks.

Disguised as an anti-corruption campaign to save the Party and the state, Xi Jinping, China’s new communist Party head, has inherited the unfinished business of controlling and purging rival forces.

A former high-level Chinese official from Sichuan Province was recently put under investigation by the Communist Party reportedly for graft, but a recent report suggests he might have been involved in something far more sinister.

Preliminary reports appeared on Dec. 4 that Li was put under “shuanggui,” a Soviet-era procedure of interrogation and detention of Party officials.
