Heads of State-owned enterprises on the discipline inspection radar

THE FIRST TEAMS DISPATCHED by the Party's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in 2015 recently finished their inspections. Among their quarry were about 20 senior executives of central State-owned enterprises, some of who had already retired. Comments:

It is noteworthy that some of the hunted "tigers", or high-ranking corrupt officials, had already retired. The days when corrupt officials could retire instead of being punished are gone and age no longer offers a safe haven for them. It is high time corrupt officials gave up the illusion that they can escape punishment.
