Zhou Yongkang


Zhou Yongkang, a former member of the all-powerful Politburo Standing Committee
of the Chinese Communist Party, became the highest-ranking Party official to
fall under corruption investigation on July 29, 2014 when state media announced
a probe into his "serious discipline violations". Born in 1942, Zhou was
secretary of the Political and Legislative Affairs Committee of the party’s
Central Committee from 2007 to 2012. Other positions he held include vice
minister of the petroleum industry (1985-1988), minister of land and resources
(1998-1999), and Sichuan party boss (1999-2002). In 2002 he became head of the
Ministry of Public Security and was made a member of the Politburo’s standing
committee in 2007.
