8、周永康 Zhou Yongkang

The announcement of the investigation into former senior official Zhou Yongkang in July has revealed the courage and resolution of the Communist Party of China (CPC) to purify itself and run itself with strict discipline.

今年7月，中共中央紀律檢查委員會宣布對前高級官員周永康立案一事，顯示了中國共產黨的自我凈化、自我革新的政治勇氣和反腐決心。

The arrest of Zhou Yongkang was announced in December. It was beyond the expectation of many that such a top Party official would be brought to court and put on trial.

12月周永康正式被逮捕。這讓許多人感到難以置信：如此一位中共高級官員竟會被移送法庭受審。
