Tsar Zhou Yongkang

China has jailed former vice public security minister Li Dongsheng for 15 years, state media reported today, the latest official tied to ousted security tsar Zhou Yongkang to be sentenced for corruption offences.

China will hold an "open trial" for fallen domestic security tsar Zhou Yongkang, the head of China's top court said, state media reported today, in an attempt to show transparency though the super-sensitive trial will likely be far from open.

A Chinese court handed down a death sentence on Friday to a former mining magnate with links to the eldest son of retired security tsar Zhou Yongkang over charges of leading a 36-member gang on a crime spree spanning two decades.

Chinese authorities have seized assets worth at least 90 billion yuan from family members and associates of retired domestic security tsar Zhou Yongkang.
