For Graft Investigators, a Son Like His Father

The oldest son of China's former security chief Zhou Yongkang, as yet the most powerful figure to fall in a government campaign against corruption, has himself been targeted together with his investment firm by anti-graft investigators.

Caixin learned the 42-year-old son Zhou Bin and his wife – a 43-year-old American named Huang Wan – were detained in December, seven months before the father's demise. Huang's father, Huang Yusheng, has reportedly disappeared, and her mother, who lives in California, has been implicated as a possible accomplice. At least three of Zhou's business associates have been detained, too.
