Comments on A tribute to Bo Xilai
Absolutely Fantastic.
Thanks for sharing!
I love the advertisement part at the end...
china may not have presidential elections for the masses, but it sure does have presidential-style campaigning. BXL is going to the public for populist approval in the tussle for HJT's seat after his exit.
It's a tussle between Red royals of the Taizi dang, as Gao Xin's book calls them.
It's not a done deal for the top jobs for Li Keqiang and Xi Jinping, even if the latter has met the Emperor of Japan, a privilege usually meant for heads of state.
Wang Xiuguo was Deng Xiaoping's personal choice as successor, but failed the ``vigorous'' testing through the party ranks and was edged out eventually by the Jiang Zemin claque.
Apart from job experience, people management is another spec for the No 1 job - ability to ``unite the party'', or walk the tightrope between the factions.
Bo Xilai is one of the best Chinese officials in my mind.
His actions in Chongqing win a lot of applause.
Please tell me this is not supposed to be a joke...
