The PLA’s Biggest Corruption Scandal
Xu Caihou is one of China's big "tigers", the prize of Xi Jinping's anticorruption. If Zhou Yongkang showed that even being a member of the Politburo Standing Committee did not protect you from prosection, then Xu's fall showed that it goes the same even for China's powerful military.
The People's Liberation Army is the world's largest army and probably its second most powerful. The Party controls it through the Central Military Commission, chaired by China's most senior generals and party members.
Corruption in the Chinese military is a largely unexplored topic. Basically, a state secret. Charging Xu for what he did is characteristic of Xi Jinping's style - shaking up the status quo. In this video, let us look at his rise to power and how he fell from grace.
