Swatting Flies 
<http://cmp.hku.hk/2013/07/07/33568/lao-xiao-swatting-flies/>

In January this year, Xi Jinping pledged to deal aggressively with
corruption. He said the Chinese Communist Party would “strike tigers as
well as flies,” meaning it would pursue corruption cases involving
high-ranking officials as well as small-time crooks. The above cartoon,
posted by artist Lao Xiao (老肖) to Sina Weibo
<http://weibo.com/1252461141/zDy5M8ijw>, the hand of the CCP tries to deal
with a fly of corruption. But the swatter of “punishment” (惩) in the
Party’s hand is so small it is hopeless against the massive fly.
