Gu Junshan[edit]

... that during the corruption probe into Gu Junshan, investigators located a gold model boat, a gold Mao statue, and crates of luxury liquor in his family compound?

ALT1:... that during the corruption probe into Gu Junshan, investigators found an abandoned Forbidden City-style "imperial palace compound" constructed for his family?
Comment: This is one of the most bizarre and outlandish scandals to hit one of the world's largest militaries in years, and quite possibly is the tipping point for a much larger investigation into graft in the Chinese military. In the article I try to trace Gu's ordinary life from his early years to his pinnacle of power. I adhere strictly to WP:BLP standards of writing. Some of the sourcing is in Chinese; even though English-language articles about this person exist, I am inclined to trust the original sources more.

I can easily confirm the hooks, as this made headline news all over Chinese and Hong Kong media a year or two ago. Article is new enough, long enough, well referenced, and neutrally written. Both hooks are verified with inline refs. No copyvio issues. QPQ is done. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 06:07, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
