  • Bo Xilai and Reform: What Will Be the Impact of His Removal?
    Bo Xilai and Reform: What Will Be the Impact of His Removal? Joseph Fewsmith The unexpected flight of Chongqing’s Public Security head to the U.S. consulate in Chengdu in February started an unexpected sequence of events that led to the removal of Bo Xilai, the princeling head of the Chongqing party committee, and the subsequent decision to investigate him. Depending on the outcome of that party investigation, Bo could then be subject to civil proceedings (as is almost always the case). These events have disrupted what appeared to be the smooth transition planned for the 18th Party Congress later this fall. There has been much commentary on these events, and different observers look at the significance and impact of the Bo Xilai case on Chinese politics differently. Looking at Bo’s unique place in the Chinese political system and at the actions taken and commentary issued by the government in Beijing, this article concludes that Beijing is taking steps to narrow the case against Bo as much as possible, presenting it as a case of violating party discipline and the law. Although this makes sense in the short run, there may be ramifications of the case that will reverberate for a long time. The run-up to the 18th Party Congress scheduled to be held this fall has proven to be more interesting than anyone imagined. The escape of Wang Lijun, Chongqing’s vice mayor and head of public security, to the U.S. consulate in Chengdu and his subsequent arrest, followed by stories that Gu Kailai, wife of the Chongqing party secretary, was suspected of the murder of English entrepreneur Neil Heywood, and finally the removal and investigation of Bo Xilai himself have generated vast quantities of newspaper articles, lurid stories, and speculation.

  • Bo Xilai: Power, Death and Politics
    July 20, 2012 7:08 pm Bo Xilai: power, death and politics The alleged murder of Neil Heywood has brought down one of China’s most powerful politicians – and exposed a power struggle that has rocked the Communist party As the cyanide took effect, Neil Percival Heywood must have looked around at the tacky photos of trees and waterfalls on the mustard-coloured wallpaper and wondered how he ever got involved in the vicious world of Chinese politics. The dingy room at the Lucky Holiday Hotel – a three-star hilltop resort in the Chinese metropolis of Chongqing where Heywood was found dead on November 15 last year – was a long way from his childhood in a middle-class London suburb and his education at Harrow, the elite private school attended by Winston Churchill and Lord Byron. Although he had become increasingly worried about his involvement with one of China’s most powerful political families, and had seen enough to know how they dealt with those who crossed them, he thought it very unlikely they would kill a foreigner. Heywood could not have imagined that his murder would spark the biggest Chinese political scandal in at least two decades and expose an elite power struggle that has shaken the ruling Communist party to its core. After spending nearly half his 41 years living in China, mostly working as a small-time business consultant and fixer, his death in the secluded, run-down guest house was blamed on “excessive alcohol consumption” by the Chongqing police. His remains were quickly cremated, without an autopsy, on the authorisation of his family.

Within minutes, the state-run media dropped another bombshell, revealing that Bo’s wife was being investigated for murder in connection with the November 2011 death of British businessman Neil Heywood, and had been “transferred to judicial authorities.” The news sent shockwaves through both online and offline media. Even before the announcement, CCP members were reporting on microblogs that they had been called in for an urgent meeting late at night, at which point the news was conveyed to them. Once it was made public, commentary and reactions to the Xinhua announcement circulated widely. One blogger highlighted its use of the term “disciplinary violations” to reflect the fact that Bo was not accused of a crime, which would be handled by the judicial system, and “comrade,” which meant that he remained a CCP member, though ousted from the party’s top echelons.

THE BO XILAI TRIAL AND CHINA’S STRUGGLE WITH THE RULE OF LAW INTRODUCTION This Note will examine the trial of former Chinese politician Bo Xilai and assess whether his trial (the Bo trial) is indicative of a strengthening commitment of China towards some form of the rule of law. Although Bo received more legal protections in his trial than many defendants ordinarily receive in criminal trials, this Note will argue that his case is not indicative of a larger victory for the rule of law in China for two reasons.
