 Any time China purges the upper ranks they say "So and so fell out of a 60 story window after being named in corruption probe". We get it, you have to keep people afraid to get them to toe the line. And calling it a result of a "corruption probe" is just a fucking lie. The entire Chinese Communist party is illegitimate and corrupt, so how the fuck are you only killing a few here and there when the whole lot deserves to die?
