With disgraced-official playing cards, the 'big tigers' are wild

TOKYO -- The mug shots of corrupt officials are landing on card tables around China.    

This deck of playing cards features officials caught in the corruption dragnet, including Zhou Yongkang and Xu Caihou as the jokers.

     A new deck of 54 playing cards is selling well. The cards are emblazoned with pictures and profiles of 54 people who were swept up in President Xi Jinping's anti-corruption dragnet. Representing the two jokers are Zhou Yongkang and Xu Caihou.
