Before the Fifth Plenary Session of the Communist Party of China, the officialdom continues to shake. On October 13th, the official announcement by the Chinese Communist Party stated that the former mayor of Chongqing, Huang Qifan, is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, and is currently under investigation.
At the age of 74, Huang Qifan has been operating in the Chongqing officialdom for many years, having served under six city party secretaries. During this period, both Bo Xilai and Sun Zhengcai fell from grace, but he managed to escape unscathed from these two political storms, earning himself the nickname of an official who never falls. However, nearly a decade after Huang Qifan’s retirement, this seemingly invulnerable figure has finally tumbled.
As the news spreads, the many hidden secrets behind the Huang Qifan case have become the focus of external attention.
