Following the Fifth Plenary Session of the CCP Central Committee, 75-year-old former Sinopec Chairman and key member of Zeng Qinghong's 'petroleum gang,' Fu Chengyu, has been placed under investigation 11 years after his retirement.

Xi Jinping mentioned in public that no 'Iron-Hat Princes' would be allowed to exist, after which high-ranking generals such as Xu Caihou and Guo Boxiong were brought down.

The CCP Central Committee reported that Zhou Yongkang leaked Party and state secrets, committed adultery with multiple women, and engaged in power-for-sex and money-for-sex transactions.
