China’s Battle with Organised Crime

Al Jazeera reports on the crackdown on corruption and organized crime in Chongqing:

Recent trials have exposed the unseemly relationships between gangsters, police officers and several high-profile public officials.

But as Al Jazeera’s Melissa Chan reports, for some of the gangs’ victims, the increased focus by law enforcement is too little too late.
