## Overview
Former Chongqing mayor Huang Qifan, long seen as a political "tumbler" who survived China's far-reaching anti-corruption campaign for a decade, has fallen under corruption scrutiny (SCMP, October 14). He served as Chongqing's mayor from 2009 to 2016 under six municipal Communist Party secretaries, including Bo Xilai (SCMP, October 14).
## Why This Matters
Huang's fall is notable given his decade-long survival through multiple purges of colleagues, making it a significant data point in tracking the scope and persistence of Xi Jinping-era anti-corruption enforcement within China's political elite, particularly in relation to the Chongqing political network historically associated with Bo Xilai.
