Bo Xilai, born July 3, 1949, is the son of senior Party leader Bo Yibo, one of the “eight elders” who controlled the Party-state during Deng Xiaoping’s era. 1 Bo Xilai Resume (https://web.archive.org/web/20071127054645/http://news.xinhuanet.com:80/ziliao/2002- 02/21/content_285068.htm) 2 Bo Xilai Baidu, (https://baike.baidu.com/item/) 3 On September 22, 2013, Bo Xilai was sentenced to life imprisonment for bribery, corruption, and abuse of power (See: https://zh.wikisource.org/zh-hans/) 1 Canada Magnitsky Act Submission Falun Dafa Association August 2018 2. Bo Xilai and his family were persecuted during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). Bo Xilai, then seventeen years old, was imprisoned for five years on charges of counterrevolutionary activities. It is said that prison life taught Bo Xilai the ways of the prison, and convinced him that might is right4. 3. Bo Xilai is keen to continue his father’s legacy. With the help of his powerful father, he launched his political career as a local Party official of a county in Dalian city of Liaoning province in the early 1980s5. 4. Bo Xilai was swiftly promoted to become the mayor of Dalian city in the 1990s. As Dalian mayor, Bo Xilai and his wife, Gu Kailai amassed immense wealth by corrupt means6. They once worked with a British businessman, Neil Heywood, who helped move their wealth overseas7. Neil Heywood was later murdered by Gu Kailai on November 14, 2011. The murder of Neil Heywood was an international news event8. 5. Bo Xilai’s political career reached a stalemate in 1997 during the 15th National Party Congress when he failed to obtain the coveted appointment of provincial Party secretary and membership in the Central Committee. For his efforts at self-promotion, he received zero votes and remained mayor of Dalian city in Liaoning province. 6. In July 20, 1999, then Party chief, Jiang Zemin, launched the persecution of Falun Gong. A month later in August 1999, Jiang Zemin made a rare visit to Liaoning province. The purpose of the visit was said to identify and muster local party officials who are willing to be complicit in Jiang Zemin’s policy of eradication against Falun Gong9. According to Bo Xilai’s former chauffeur, Mr Wang, Jiang Zemin told Bo Xilai in explicit terms that, “you have to demonstrate toughness towards Falun Gong, only then can you have the capital to advance.”10 4 Epoch Times Report, October 16, 2012 (http://www.epochtimes.com/gb/12/10/17/n3707619.htm); Epoch Times Report, May 12, 2010 (http://www.epochtimes.com/gb/10/5/12/n2906158.htm) 5 Epoch Times Report, May 12, 2010 (http://www.epochtimes.com/gb/10/5/12/n2906158.htm) 6 Epoch Times Report, October 17, 2012 (http://www.epochtimes.com/gb/12/10/17/n3707619.htm) 7 Soltis, Andy (17 April 2012).

Following Jiang Zemin’s visit, Dalian city, under Bo’s leadership, quickly became the vanguard in the national eradication campaign against Falun Gong. Falun Gong practitioners all over the country were being sent to Dalian for torture and brainwash11. 8. In 2000, Bo Xilai was promoted to become the acting governor of Liaoning province. In 2001, he formally became the governor of Liaoning. In 2007, he became a member of the Central Politburo and Secretary of Chongqing Party Committee. 9. Bo Xilai’s political career was cut short in February 2012 by the defection of his subordinate—Wang Lijun reportedly turned over large amounts of evidence of Bo Xilai’s corruption12 and gross human rights violations against Falun Gong practitioners to the Chinese Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and to the U.S. Consulate13. 10. Bo Xilai was dismissed as Chongqing party chief in March 15, 2012. On September 28, 2012, Bo Xilai was expelled from the Party14. The decision was ratified by a full plenary session of the Chinese Central Committee. Bo was removed from all public posts on October 26, 201215. He was sentenced to life imprisonment on September 22, 201316. 11. There are reasons to believe that Bo Xilai controls significant wealth overseas through intermediaries such as the murdered Neil Heywood. While Bo has been committed to prison, efforts to account and confiscate those ill-gotten assets are ongoing17. 12. Bo Xilai has been the subject of lawsuits by victims of human rights violations in many countries. In November, 2007, New South Wales Supreme Court in Sydney issued default judgment against Bo Xilai 11 Epoch Times Report, October 17, 2012 (http://www.epochtimes.com/gb/12/10/17/n3707619.htm) 12 Bill Gertz, China probes police official after Obama administration rejected asylum request, Washington Free Beacon, 10 February 2012. 13 Epoch Times Report, June 20, 2012 (https://www.theepochtimes.com/source-wang-lijun-told-u-s-officials-of-organ- harvest_1484282.html); Minghui Report, April 11, 2012 (http://search.minghui.org/mh/articles/2012/4/11/-“”- 255519.html) 14 Xinhua Report, September 28, 2012 (http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/china/2012-09/28/c_131880079.htm) 15 BBC Report, October 25, 2012 (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-20091588) 16 BBC Report, September 22, 2013 (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-24170726) 17 South China Morning Post Report, December 22, 2014 (https://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/1667708/luxury- french-villa-jailed-chinese-politician-bo-xilai-sale-hk66-million) 3 Canada Magnitsky Act Submission Falun Dafa Association August 2018 for the torture of a Falun Gong practitioner, Pan Yu18. On November 11, 2009, Bo Xilai was indicted in Spain for genocide and torture of Falun Gong practitioners under exercise of universal jurisdiction. OVERVIEW 13. As the top ranking official in Dalian city, Liaoning province and finally, Chongqing City, Bo Xilai was an active partner in crime in driving the policy of extermination of Falun Gong in his regions. 14. During his leadership, both Liaoning Province and Chongqing City reported some of the worst persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. Falun Gong practitioners were imprisoned and tortured in large numbers. Many were permanently disabled or killed in captivity and tortured. Many more were illegally rounded up, and forcibly taken to forced transformation facilities where they were subjected to brainwash. 15. According to available information, during Bo Xilai’s tenure as mayor of Dalian there were 15 reported cases of Falun Gong practitioners being tortured to death19. During Bo Xilai tenure as governor of Liaoning Province, there were 103 reported cases of Falun Gong practitioners killed through torture—a figure that was ranked fourth in the country20. In 2007, when Bo Xilai moved to Chongqing, there were about 20 reported cases of Falun Gong practitioners being tortured to death21. 16. Under Bo Xilai’s directives and policies, forced labour camps and prisons such as the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp22, Dabei Prison, Zhangshi Forced Labour Camp, Longshan Forced Labour Camp, Dalian Forced Labour Camp subjected Falun Gong practitioners to some of the most agonizing and cutting edge torture methods, which were subsequently modelled after by other jurisdictions. 17. Large-scale killing of Falun Gong practitioners by means of forced organ harvesting is also likely to have started in Liaoning province under Bo Xilai’s leadership. The earliest reported case of forced organ harvesting and industrial sale of human cadaver happened in Dalian city of Liaoning province when Bo Xilai was mayor. Indications of forced organ harvesting were mostly found in Liaoning province*. 18 Minghui Report, November 8, 2007 (http://en.minghui.org/emh/articles/2007/11/8/91197.html) 19 WOIPFG Report, December 18, 2003 (http://www.zhuichaguoji.org/node/279) 20 Minghui Report, April 25, 2004 (http://en.minghui.org/emh/articles/2004/4/25/47383.html) 21 Minghui Report, March 8, 2012 (http://www.minghui.org/mh/articles/2012/3/8/253965.html) 22 Minghui Report, August 11, 2003 (http://www.minghui.org/mh/articles/2003/8/11/ 55444.html) * Ethan Gutmann, "The Slaughter" (2014), p.

  • Knowledge Control and Social Contestation in China's
    Science in Movements This book analyzes and compares the origins, evolutionary patterns and consequences of different science and technology controversies in China, including hydropower resistance, disputes surrounding genetically modified organisms and the nuclear power debate. The examination combines social movement theories, communication studies, and science and technology studies. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, the book provides an insight into the interwoven relationship between social and political controls and knowledge monopoly, and looks into a central issue neglected by previous science communication studies: why have different con- troversies shown divergent patterns despite similar social and political contexts? It is revealed that the media environment, political opportunity structures, knowledge-control regimes and activists’ strategies have jointly triggered, nur- tured and sustained these controversies and led to the development of different patterns. Based on these observations, the author also discusses the significance of science communication studies in promoting China’ssocialtransformation and further explores the feasible approach to a more generic framework to understand science controversies across the world. The book will be of value to academics of science communication, science and technology studies, political science studies and sociology, as well as general readers interested in China’s science controversies and social movements.

  • The Dimming of a Chinese Strongman's Aura Introduction A
    The dimming of a Chinese strongman’s aura 01 June, 2020 | GS-II | International Relations | GS PAPER 2 | INTERNATIONAL ISSUES | CHINA | CHINA OBOR | INDIA AND CHINA The dimming of a Chinese strongman’s aura By, Sujan R. Chinoy, a China specialist and former Ambassador, is currently the Director General of the Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, New Delhi. The views expressed are personal Introduction # To the outside world, China seeks to project a picture of monolithic unity behind President Xi Jinping’s highly centralised leadership. However, media tropes point to a greater scrutiny of his role and leadership style, especially during the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan. # Reports have surfaced alleging delays in reporting facts, conflicting instructions and tight censorship. # Observers have drawn parallels between Mr. Xi and his powerful predecessors, Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping, perhaps a tad unfairly to both the iconic architects of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). A timeline of change Mao # Mao presided over the founding of the PRC in 1949. # He consolidated his leadership during the Long March in the mid-1930s. Despite his many detractors, he remained the undisputed leader of China until his death on September 9, 1976 even if, towards the end, it was the Gang of Four, led by his wife Jiang Qing, which had usurped power in his name. # Mao banished his adversaries frequently, whether it was Liu Shaoqi, Lin Biao, or even Deng Xiaoping. # Mao’s reign after the founding of the PRC lasted 27 years. By comparison, the 67-year-old Xi Jinping has been at the helm for just under eight years.

  • China Turns up Heat on Ex-Security Chief with Crash Probe
    CHINA PRIME TARGET: Zhou Yongkang was head of domestic security and a member of the Communist Party Standing Politburo Committee, making him one of the most powerful people in China, until he stepped down in 2012. REUTERS/STRINGER Authorities have begun investigating a crash in 2000 that killed the first wife of Zhou Yongkang, the prime target in China’s biggest corruption scandal, Reuters source says. China turns up heat on ex-security chief with crash probe BY BENJAMIN KANG LIM, CHARLIE ZHU AND DAVID LAGUE SPECIAL REPORT 1 CHINA’S POWER STRUGGLE BEIJING/HONG KONG, SEPTEMBER 12, 2014 ittle is known about the exact circum- stances in which Wang Shuhua was Lkilled. What has been reported, in the Chinese media, is that she died in a road ac- cident sometime in 2000, shortly after she was divorced from her husband. And that at least one vehicle with a military license plate may have been involved in the crash. Fourteen years later, investigators are looking into her death. Their sudden inter- est has nothing to do with Wang herself. It has to do with the identity of her ex-hus- band – once one of China’s most powerful men and now the prime target in President Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption campaign. Investigators are probing the death of the first wife of Zhou Yongkang, China’s HUNTING TIGERS: President Xi Jinping has launched the biggest corruption crackdown since the retired security czar, a source with di- communists came to power in 1949, going after “tigers” or high-ranking officials as well as “flies”.

  • Beijing Sets the Stage to Convene the 16Th Party Congress
    Miller, China Leadership Monitor, No.4 Beijing Sets the Stage to Convene the 16th Party Congress H. Lyman Miller After a summer of last-minute wrangling, Beijing moved swiftly to complete preparations for the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) 16th Party Congress. Since the leadership’s annual summer retreat at the north China seaside resort at Beidaihe, leadership statements and authoritative press commentary have implied that the congress, scheduled to open on November 8, 2002, will see the long-anticipated retirement of “third generation” leaders around party General Secretary Jiang Zemin and the installation of a new “fourth generation” leadership led by Hu Jintao. Chinese press commentary has also indicated that the party constitution will be amended to incorporate the “three represents”--the controversial political reform enunciated by Jiang Zemin nearly three years ago which aims to broaden the party’s base by admitting the entrepreneurial, technical, and professional elite that has emerged in Chinese society under two decades of economic reform. The relative clarity of political trends since the Beidaihe leadership retreat contrasts starkly with their uncertainty immediately preceding it. Weeks before the annual Beidaihe leadership retreat, a torrent of rumors erupted in Beijing and found voice in the noncommunist Hong Kong and foreign press alleging that Jiang Zemin was having second thoughts about the congress. For unclear reasons that were nevertheless widely speculated upon, Jiang was said to be retreating from long-established plans for succession and seeking to retain some or all of his top posts. In addition, opposition among the party’s rank and file to the proposed incorporation of the three represents into the party constitution remained strong, despite two years’ worth of efforts by the party leadership to dispel it.1 The course of leadership discussions at Beidaihe cannot be assessed with any certainty.

  • Lull in Intense SEA Diplomacy, Probably Due As Much to Formal
    China – Southeast Asia Relations: Focus is Elsewhere, but Bonds Continue to Grow by Lyall Breckon∗ Senior Analyst, CNA Center for Strategic Studies The quarter saw a relative lull in China’s intense Southeast Asian diplomacy. This was understandable in light of Beijing’s preoccupation with crises in Iraq and North Korea, and the formal transfer of power in March to a new generation of Chinese leaders. It signaled no decline in China’s keen interest in expanding ties with its southern neighbors. Leaders of the two Southeast Asian countries closest to Beijing, Thailand and Burma, visited China before the leadership transition for talks with Hu Jintao and members of his team as well as Jiang Zemin, Zhu Rongji, and other leaders relinquishing senior party and state positions. Chinese commentary directed toward Southeast Asia strongly backed the anti-Iraq war stance of most ASEAN nations. China’s observer at the Kuala Lumpur Nonaligned Movement (NAM) summit in February called for opposition to “unipolarity” and unilateralism, i.e., U.S. leadership, in international affairs.
