"The fall of Bo Xilai, like the fall of the Gang of Four, was a non-normal process. It only goes to show that the Chinese Communist Party has failed to evolve even by a hair's breadth over the last three decades.

Concerning the fall of Bo (Xilai), there's been a great deal of rumours spread by the foreign media and on the internet. Here's my advice for everyone. First, trust in the Party. Second, trust in the general rationality of society that has developed decades after China's reform and opening up. Third, trust in the immense momentum China still possesses going forward. These are the words from the bottom of my heart to everyone. And the words I say to myself. more ›
