Crackdown hits officials at all levels

Zhou Yongkang, the former domestic security chief, has been placed under investigation for alleged corruption, according to the Supreme People's Procuratorate.
Zhou, 71, is the highest-profile figure caught in President Xi Jinping's crackdown on corruption and the most senior Chinese official investigated in a graft scandal since the Party swept to power in 1949.
