Getting Zhou in the dock could be easier said than done. Online rumors say that Zhou has entered the US, where his son Zhou Bin, who made a fortune through his father's connection in the Chinese oil industry has been living for the last 8 years with his wife, Wang Wan. Both Bin and Wan are US citizens, and Zhou could be looking at hiding away in the States before he is officially arrested and charged.
Following the 18th CCP Conference, three of high level officials were removed from their posts - all three were supporters of the elder Zhou. In March 2013, Baidu published a series of articles denouncing Bo Xi Lai and Zou Yong Kang, alleging that Bo and Zhou were about to wrest power from Xi Jin Ping.
On March 27th, Zhou's former high school published a report on it's website that the statesman had paid them a visit, prompting speculation that despite being retired, and holding no official position, he was trying to raise his profile. The report made no mention of Zhou's former title, and, a month later, the report had been deleted from the school's website. The deletion of the report contradicts claims by the Politburo in 2012 that Zhou had been sidelined, aware that official acknowledgement of wrongdoing doing would sully the image of Wen Jiao Bao and Hu Jin Tao.
When Li Chang Chun visited the UK in April 2012, a recording of a telephone conversation came to light that exposed Zhou's involved in organ harvesting from detained Fulan Gong practitioners. Posing as a "manager Zhang" the PLC secretary's office Lu Gan, an investigator working for the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong was able to question Li about organ harvesting, and the idea to implicate Bo in the operation.
Repeated petitions have been submitted to the CCP calling for Zhou Yong Kang's arrest and trial, with one petition describing him as "a rat crossing the street, and chased by all."
