New 'tiger list' shows leadership's resolve to clean up the military

AFTER PUBLISHING A "TIGER LIST" months ago that included information about 16 senior military officers being hunted in the anti-graft storm, the People's Liberation Army released an additional list on Monday, announcing another 14 senior officers being investigated for corruption. Comments:

Compared with the previous list, the new one gives people confidence that no one in the military is immune to the anti-graft storm. Some of the newly hunted tigers have quite deep family backgrounds - for example, Guo Zhenggang, deputy Party chief of Zhejiang military region, who had just been promoted in January. A retired senior military leader who hoped to remain anonymous said: "This is the best evidence that family background cannot shield a 'tiger' from being investigated."
