    I can see them holding individuals in the party accountable. Not those high up, but someone might take a fall.

      The guy getting charged was a high up member of the CPC.

      I kinda expected a harsher sentence than a fine, a ban from the party, and ban from ever doing business again given that the guy not only defrauded millions, but betrayed the public trust.

        I do remember some guy embezzling funds from a rail bridge construction in China, causing a derailment that injured some people, being executed.

        To be honest, if there needs to be a death penalty, it should be reserved for those cases. A single murder is reprehensible, but it is easy to get the wrong guy. If you do shit like management in Boeing, I wouldn’t say it’s unreasonable to execute the decision maker whose corrupt decision caused a plane to crash and hundreds of people to die.
