| Subject: Awww, Chinese officers caught feasting on an endangered salamander Wed Jan 28, 2015 2:56 am | |
| China is in the throes of the harshest crackdown on corruption in decades, but officials in Shenzhen apparently didn't get the memo.
While officials across China have been fleeing the country and hiding their money and other traces of their formerly luxurious lifestyles, reporters caught several Shenzhen police officers at a lavish meal, feasting on a giant salamander.
The salamander - a protected endangered species that can grow up to two metres long, the size of an adult human - is coveted by some in China for its supposed abilities to improve skin and fortify the heart.
Caught on camera by three undercover reporters with salamander in hand, the Shenzhen cops responded by beating up the journalists, according to their newspaper, Southern Metropolis Daily, based in Guangzhou.
