On March 2, Chinese military prosecutors released a list of 14 generals recently put under investigation for corruption, according to the Chinese Communist Party military media Liberation Army Daily.
Among the 14, the one that has attracted the most attention is Guo Zhenggang, son of former vice chairman of the Central Military Commission Guo Boxiong, referred to as a “military tiger” by overseas Chinese media. Chinese communist leader Xi Jinping, in kicking off the campaign, said that he would fight the “tigers and flies” in the anti-graft campaign—a metaphor referring to both high- and low-level officials.
The report states Guo Zhenggang, deputy political commissar of the Zhejiang Province Military Region, was investigated by Chinese military prosecutors in February suspected of “committing crimes.” The report didn’t specify what crimes he was suspected of.
The anti-corruption campaign in the communist military has strengthened this year. On Jan. 15, China released a list of 16 generals who were sacked in 2014.
