Top-level general expelled for graft

Probe of Xu Caihou shows Party's determination to fight corruption

China's ruling party said there will be no tolerance of corruption in the Party and the military, no matter how high ranking an official, after a top-level military general was kicked out of the Party on the eve of its birthday.

The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, composed of the 25 most powerful people in the country, expelled Xu Caihou, the highest military official in the previous Chinese leadership, from the Party for corruption.
