CHONGQING, China -- A year after President Xi Jinping's anti-graft dragnet took down onetime potential political rival Sun Zhengcai, the Chinese leader continues to purge disloyal elements from the city Sun once ran.
Chen Min'er, the Communist Party chief of Chongqing, vowed in a July 5 meeting of city officials to expel the "evil influence" and "poison" left behind by disgraced predecessors Sun and Bo Xilai. Sun was sentenced in May to life imprisonment for bribery, while Bo suffered the same fate in 2013.
