Family corruption

家族式腐败(jiazushi fubai)

The investigations of several corrupt high-ranking officials, or "tigers" as they are known, including Zhou Yongkang, the country's former security chief, and Su Rong, a former vice-chairman of the top political advisory body, have all revealed family corruption. Their families became a means of trading power for money, and their family members formed communities of illegal interests. Nepotism and collaborative corruption within families will only result in families ending up in prison together.
