Larry,
A Chinese colleague made the following point to me yesterday. Any Chinese citizen in China today who seriously sought to investigate the abuses of the Chinese Communist Party risked a lengthy prison sentence. His family might find certain services normally extended by the state would become unavailable. Other than that, I'm sure China is a model of respect for human rights.
If that is true, Zhu Rongji would be put away for life.
May I suggest that you stop reading headlines and repeating other people's opinion. Do some reading and research yourself and you may learn something. Do you have any idea how many Communist Party members who had been jailed, executed, investigated, expelled for their abuses of power? As an example, the ex-mayor of Beijing, the secretary of the party, is currently in jail serving a 16 year sentence.
Zhu is forming the "Huangpu Army", retired officials specifically trained to investigate corruption in all the state owned enterprises. You will be hearing from this group in the near future. When Zhu launched his campaign to investigate corruption, he openly said he is bringing two coffins. Knowing the risk involved, one of the coffins was reserved for himself.
This site gives you a good lead to numerous sources to learn for yourself.
