(a) "But two meatier cases [than Zhou Yongkang's acolytes: 'iang Jiemin, the former head of CNPC, China's top energy group, and Li Chuncheng, who was a deputy party boss in the southwestern province of Sichuan where Zhou had his power base'] may never even make it to trial.

"Two sources with ties to the leadership said separately that Ling Jihua, 59, who was a top aide to Xi's immediate predecessor Hu Jintao, had apparently suffered a nervous breakdown, while Guo Boxiong, a former senior general, was very sick with cancer.

"Both cases present dilemmas for Beijing - Ling's position is particularly sensitive because of his close connection with former President Hu, while the sources said there were concerns in the secrecy-obsessed leadership that if Guo died while under investigation it could ignite rumours he had been murdered.

(b) " 'The pressure on Ling has been too great. He has never recovered from losing his son,' one source told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity. 'He is blaming the rest of his family for his downfall.'

Ling's wife and an older brother have also been detained for questioning over corruption allegations.

" 'Ling Jihua repeatedly shouted the names of his parents for no reason,' a second source said.

" 'Psychiatrists have been brought in to determine whether he is faking it,' the source said, adding that the leadership was mulling whether to put him on trial.
