BEIJING - Former anti-graft czar Wang Qishan, 69, would, under normal circumstances, be headed for retirement after relinquishing all key positions at the 19th national congress of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) last October.
He did not even get into the CCP's 19th Central Committee, which consists of nearly 400 top party cadres.
