Applause for Zhou graft inquiry
Description
PLEASE NOTE: EDIT CONTAINS MATERIAL THAT WAS ORIGINALLY 4:3
China's former domestic security chief Zhou Yongkang is by far the biggest fish yet caught up in President Xi Jinping's crackdown on corruption.
The 71-year-old was under investigation for what a statement called suspected 'serious disciplinary violations'.
That's the usual euphemism for corruption although it could imply some additional wrongdoing as well.
On the streets of Beijing news of an inquiry into Zhou's activities was welcomed.
(SOUNDBITE)(Mandarin) SUN MING, BEIJING RESIDENT, SAYING:
"Zhou Yongkang was a very high-ranking official. It's good that even high-ranking officials are now being punished for corruption because it sends a warning to lower-ranking officials"
(SOUNDBITE)(Mandarin) ZHANG ZIFAN, BEIJING RESIDENT, SAYING:
"It's great to see so many corrupt officials have been picked out. I'm glad to see the government has intensified its efforts to fight corruption
