It's interesting how the heading includes "potentially dangerous" but the article never follows up on that bit. I guess any story about China just has to sound scary.

It's clearly scary for oligarchs who are used to being able to live like kings.

True true, the moment they realize rules actually do apply to them would be a bit unsettling I'm sure.

I suppose "cracking down on corruption" is a scary phrase for some of these people too.
