Cut-throat politics: Bo Xilai is rumored to demand a public trial [Global News Team reported on the 13th] Former US Secretary of State Rice (Condoleezza) When Rice gave a speech at the Heritage Foundation, a Washington think tank, on the 13th, he said about the "Bo Xilai scandal", "Bo Xilai's scandal illustrates China's own problems, how China's politics is operated, and what the relationship between local officials and central leaders is. And in the final analysis, it depends on how the Chinese people react to one of the biggest political scandals in Chinese history." Jon Huntsman, the former U.S. ambassador to China, said that China's cut-throat politics, rather than a broader ideological struggle, may have led to Bo Xilai's suspension from senior positions in the Chinese Communist Party. Voice of America reported that Rice, who currently teaches at Stanford University, said that although the outside world does not know what exactly happened, it clearly raised the issue of how to implement the rule of law in a centralized system. She also said that what she found particularly interesting was the openness with which Bo Xilai's case was discussed in Chinese cyberspace. She said this shows that the Chinese people really want to know what is happening in the country and are determined to find out what is going on. Rice said China's leadership has realized that the legitimacy of an authoritarian regime cannot be maintained forever. She pointed out that so far, the CCP has achieved its legitimacy by making ordinary people rich, but legitimacy based on prosperity will not last long because people's expectations will become higher and higher. The Chinese people are dissatisfied with the privileges held by "princelings" and dissatisfied with social injustice. As the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is convening this year, it shows that the leadership faces many internal challenges. Huntsman believes that the "Bo Xilai incident" is an opportunity for the United States to get a glimpse into the inside story of Chinese politics, allowing people to understand how cruel and ruthless Chinese politics is. He speculates that this incident is related to the change of leadership of the Chinese Communist Party in October this year. Bo Xilai's political opponents collect information and take action against him. This is China's local politics. Huntsman said Bo Xilai is unlikely to be reinstated soon because he will be used as an example of corruption before the end of the year. He said that China is entering a period of leadership generation change and possible large-scale changes. Since the economy has maintained an economic growth of 8% to 10% in the past 30 years, the new generation of leaders may be more nationalistic. However, he said that after Vice President Xi Jinping takes over, the United States and China have a great opportunity to establish a deeper strategic relationship; he also predicted that in mid-2013, Xi Jinping will carry out a partial liberalization process. [Hong Kong News Group] A "reliable source" revealed that Bo Xilai, a former member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee who has been "double-regulated", requested a public trial for him. The source, said to have a high-level background, said that when Bo Xilai was first "double-regulated", he was very angry and asked to meet with Hu Jintao, General Secretary of the Central Committee, and Zhou Yongkang, member of the Politburo Standing Committee. After this request was rejected, he told the special reviewers, "You are not qualified to review me at all. Get out of here immediately!" Reports say that he even slapped one reviewer. After that, he remained silent and ignored the inquiries of the special reviewers. Hong Kong's "Apple Daily" reported that Bo Xilai was even more furious when special prosecutors told him that his wife had been arrested in order to dampen Bo Xilai's arrogance. On the one hand, he scolded Zhou Yongkang for being "unloyal" and admitted that it was Zhou Yongkang who revealed to him the news of Wang Lijun's escape from the U.S. consulate, and demanded that "he take immediate action to get Wang Lijun out at any cost." On the other hand, Bo completely refused to admit that his wife Gu Kailai murdered British businessman Neil Heywood, claiming that this was completely a "political frame-up" and that he would never admit such "unfounded frame-up." Bo Xilai also demanded a public trial and said he would not say anything more unless there was a public trial. According to "Duowei News" on the 13th, citing "sources close to the CCP's direct handling of Bo", according to the large amount of evidence obtained by the Central Investigation Team, Bo Xilai's crimes will be "extremely egregious corruption issues, major criminal cases, and "personal mountaineering" that challenges the central government." Reports say that the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has initially grasped Bo Xilai's staggering amount of overseas assets, which is likely to become the largest corruption case in the history of the Communist Party of China. There is evidence that he personally directed or participated in several criminal cases involving murder. In addition, he is personally "arrogant" and defies central authority, and even challenges and threatens the central leadership. According to the preliminary determination of the "culpability" of Bo Xilai and above by the CCP's top leaders, not only is the political career of the former member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and Secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee ended, but he may be sentenced to a felony or even death.
