News and current affairs

The Party's abrupt vilification of Bo after lauding him for his leadership in Chongqing has fueled public cynicism over his orchestrated downfall and laid bare the leadership's thin ideological core.
One fallen princeling, Bo, has been accused of cruelty and corruption - traits that are endemic in China's cloistered but fragmented oligarchy, which values family lineage and relies on networks of allies.
None of the lurid tales about Bo's wife have been proven.
The disgrace of Bo, Chongqing's former Party leader, certainly falls into this category.
A handsome, charismatic populist born into the Party elite, Bo was known as a tough official, whose methods in fighting organized crime - and others who got in his way - were often unrestrained by law.
Bo's ex-police chief, who is said to have done the dirty work, embarrassed the Party by fleeing to the US consulate in Chengdu in February, after he fell out with his boss.
Despite Bo's nostalgia for Maoist rhetoric, he is conspicuously wealthy.
In other words, Bo bore all the hallmarks of a gangster boss: corrupt, ruthless towards his enemies, contemptuous of the law, and yet moralistic in his self-presentation.
What was unusual about Bo was his open ambition.
Bo behaved more like an American politician.
Since factional rivalry inside the Party cannot be handled discreetly, some of Bo's colleagues felt that he had to go.
It is possible that the murder accusations against Bo's wife, Gu Kailai, are part of such political theater.
In fact, Bo's fall from grace involves not only his wife, but his entire family.
On the other hand, when he is riding high, they benefit, as was the case with many of Bo's relatives and his wife, whose businesses thrived while he was in power.
China's prolonged - and apparently contentious - leadership transition, punctuated by the purge of Bo Xilai, suggests that its leaders' ability to continue to manage the country's emergence as a great power is not entirely certain.
But that probably reflects the jittery state of China's leaders in the wake of the Bo purge: they cannot guarantee that an anti-Japan demonstration would not turn into an anti-government protest.
Yet, literally two days before this year's CDF began, the controversial Bo Xilai was removed as Party Secretary of Chongqing.
As a strong candidate to join the Standing Committee of the Politburo, China's inner circle of leadership, Bo's sudden demise was stunning.
There was no mention of Bo Xilai and what his dismissal meant for China's domestic politics in this critical year of leadership transition.
While it is easy to get caught up in the swirling tales of palace intrigue that have followed, I suspect that Bo's removal holds a far deeper meaning.
Bo personified that risk.
In other words, Bo was perceived not only as a threat to political stability, but also as the leading representative of a model of economic instability.
By dismissing Bo so abruptly, the central government has, in effect, underscored its unwavering commitment to stability.
By addressing economic instability through pro-consumption rebalancing, and political instability by removing Bo, stability has gone from a risk factor to an ironclad commitment.
Among non-democracies, China had the Bo Xilai scandal, which was worthy of a spy novel, with illicit affairs, rampant corruption, murder, and a senior police official's dramatic quest for asylum in a US consulate.
Given this history, the prosecution of Zhou is a watershed event - far more significant than the riveting trial of the disgraced former Chongqing Communist Party Secretary Bo Xilai a year ago.
In January 2001, Bo Xhi Lai, then mayor of Dalian, was promoted to governor of Liaoning province.
CLAREMONT, CALIFORNIA - As show trials go, the drama featuring Bo Xilai, the once-swaggering, media-savvy former Chinese Communist Party (CCP) chief of Chongqing, veered anomalously into improvisation.
Before the proceedings began, the conventional wisdom was that Bo's trial had been carefully scripted and rehearsed to portray a forlorn and penitent sinner confessing his crimes and apologizing to the Party.
Throughout the trial, Bo flatly denied most of the corruption charges, often professed ignorance of the facts, and claimed to be unable to recall any details of the matters in question.
Bo made the prosecution look sloppy and incompetent.
The two most recently purged Politburo members were tried in secret, as were Bo's wife, and his former police chief.
Transcripts were not released in real time on subsequent days, and they omitted some crucial details (for example, Bo claimed that the Party's representatives threatened to execute his wife and prosecute his son if he refused to cooperate).
Perhaps worried that Bo's defiant behavior was winning the public-relations battle, the official media also launched a media blitz savaging Bo's character and all but pronouncing him guilty.
So there must be a different - and more political - interpretation of the Chinese government's handling of Bo's trial.
