Several women

多名女性 (duō míng nǚxìng): several women

In September 2012, the Chinese Communist Party expelled Bo Xilai, citing a number of misdeeds, including taking huge bribes, abusing his power during a murder investigation against his wife, and engaging in improper sexual relations with “several women.” The last accusation is unseemly, but not in violation of any law.

After this announcement, “several women” became an Internet meme and was often used in parodies of famous quotations and poems. It has also been cited as one of the markers of a fallen official:

How to Identify a corrupt official: 1. land transactions; 2. multiple properties; 3. family has emigrated; 4. several women; 5. offshore accounts; 6. belts and watches; 7. shocking incidents; 8. offended the media; 9. shocking statements; 10. video clips and photographs; 11. netizen targets; 12. businessmen going after the Party; 13. bossy relatives; one of the above is enough to bring down an official, and the officials who have already fallen exemplify almost all of these at once. It's clear that the road to eliminating corruption is a long one!

贪官们的嘴脸：1、土地交易；2、多处房产；3、家眷移民；4、多名女性；5、海外存款；6、腰带手表；7、雷人事件；8、得罪媒体；9、惊人语录；10、视频照片；11、网民目标；12、商人死党；13、家属跋扈；以上每条均为一点即垮之死穴，而目前已栽官员，几乎同时符合所有诸条，可见反腐之路之漫漫！
