Hong Kong media analyzes Bo Xilai’s comeback from the dead and the Chongqing model is the key (picture) After Wang Lijun entered the U.S. Consulate, Chongqing's officialdom was in turmoil, and everything was thin...
After Wang Lijun stepped into the U.S. Consulate, Chongqing's officialdom was trembling, and there were overwhelming rumors that Bo Xilai was about to step down. Today, Bo Xilai's status is still as stable as Mount Tai. Hong Kong media analyzed that the grassroots public support won by the Chongqing model is an important key to stabilizing Bo Xilai.
Despite many associations and suspicions from the outside world, Bo Xilai's itinerary has not been adjusted. He still talks and laughs happily when meeting foreign guests and visiting foreign countries, and he looks calm in internal meetings.
Many liberals initially took advantage of this incident to increase their efforts to defeat Wang and Bo. However, Bo Xilai still held high the bright banner of singing red, fighting criminals, and achieving common prosperity. When "the apes on both sides of the Taiwan Strait can't stop crying", it shows that "the light boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains". Recently, news has pointed out that the Wang Lijun incident may eventually be classified as "intermittent mental illness."
In addition, Chongqing Mayor Huang Qifan also refuted the rumors of resignation as "nonsense" during an interview in Beijing. Bo Xilai said during a high-profile meeting with the successive class leaders of Lei Feng Class in Chongqing that " "Lei Feng's spirit is shining brightly in Chongqing", and he expressed that he would learn from Lei Feng's spirit of "being as warm as spring to comrades, and as ruthless to enemies as the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves." These words did not show that he was affected by the Wang Lijun incident at all.
The article analysis points out that being a princeling is not Bo Xilai's greatest political capital, but the Chongqing model that is in line with the people's hearts. In a society filled with great disparity between rich and poor, monopoly by powerful men, social injustice, and money worship, he proposed ten principles for people's livelihood, twelve principles for shared wealth, and fifteen principles for democracy and legal system. These became the hope of vulnerable groups at the grassroots level and the path for the CCP to achieve self-salvation and regain its vitality in power.
Wang Lijun’s entry into the US Consulate caused Bo Xilai a moment of embarrassment, but the Chongqing model was not substantially damaged. At the same time, this is also in line with the basic governing philosophy of the Communist Party.
The article believes that Bo Xi will probably fight back at the upcoming National Two Sessions. At that time, the movements of the Chongqing delegation will receive great attention from the outside world. In addition, Bo Xilai's recent mention of Hu Jintao's "March 14 Deployment" must have some hidden meanings.
