There is a scene in the movie "Casino" that ushers in an incredibly violent motage that focuses on "cleaning house" (eliminating anyone who could testify or cooperate with law enforcement, aka "rats")
Life imitating art. Who knows how many are compromised and Xi Jinping must be uttering "why take a chance" under his breath...

(Bloomberg) -- China removed nine military lawmakers from
its national parliament in the latest sign that President Xi
Jinping’s purge of key defense establishment personnel continues
to widen.
The country’s top legislative body revoked the membership
of Ground Force Commander Li Qiaoming and Information Support
Force Political Commissar Li Wei, along with seven other
military officials, during their two-day meeting this week,
state-run Xinhua News Agency reported on Thursday citing a
notice from the National People’s Congress Standing Committee.
The dismissals from the 14th National People’s Congress
include Ground Force’s Ding Laifu; Central Military Commission’s
Bian Ruifeng and Wang Donghai; Navy’s Shen Jinlong and Qin
Shengxiang; Air Force’s Yu Zhongfu; and Rocket Force’s Yang
Guang, according to the report, which didn’t provide reasons for
the removals.
