Beijing (CNN)In the latest sign of the Chinese leadership's determination to eradicate official corruption, the ruling Communist Party has expelled a former top military leader for taking bribes and sent his case to prosecutors.

General Guo Boxiong, who served as a vice chairman of the powerful Central Military Commission for over a decade, was found to "have taken advantage of his post to seek promotion and other benefits for others, and accepted bribes personally or through his family," the state-run Xinhua news agency reported, quoting a Party statement.

The military commission runs the two-million strong People's Liberation Army -- the world's largest standing army.

Guo, 73, retired in early 2013 and Xinhua said the Party's disciplinary arm launched a formal investigation over him in April.

"His acts seriously violated Party discipline and left a vile impact," the Politburo statement said.

When the Chinese Government looks to be taking corruption more seriously than your own, it might be time to form a new government.
