China’s premier Li Keqiang vowed to extend the fight against corrupt officials, no matter how senior they are, following a report in state media that former security chief Zhou Yongkang is tied to a graft investigation.
Rent-seeking behavior and graft has “nowhere to hide,” Li told a press briefing today to mark the end of China’s annual legislative meeting in Beijing. The party is determined to tackle corruption throughout its ranks, he said.
