Quote:

(a) "Political insiders say Mr Xi is incensed by Mr Jiang’s pervasive lingering influence in both the party and the military.

(b) "The most recent example is Wang Zongnan, an acolyte of Mr Jiang and former chairman of Bright Food Co, which owns Weetabix breakfast cereal in the UK.

"A corruption investigation was opened on Monday [July 28, 2014] into Mr Wang, 59, who is suspected of accepting bribes and embezzling public funds, according to state media reports.

"Although the allegations revealed so far relate to Mr Wang’s role as head of two other state-owned retail companies and not his leadership of Bright Food, the investigation is being interpreted as a clear warning to Mr Jiang. The former president worked at Bright Food’s predecessor company during the Korean war in the early 1950s and has maintained a close personal connection with it ever since.

"On its website, Bright Food boasts that Mr Jiang is the 'founder' of the company’s brand.

"One Shanghai-based party member with knowledge of the matter said the head of the CCDI [Communist Party’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection] task force in the city was a Beijing native and his team was sent directly from the capital, an indication of the seriousness of their mission.
