Bo Xilai Gets Life

Bo Xilai took a life sentence in his trial for corruption.  It looks political, and with China, it may be he comes back for a round two.  Deng Xiaoping had three go-rounds, and in the USA we have the likes of Richard Nixon who goes down in an ignominious splash only to return as president, resign, and then on to elder statesman.

Bo Xilai saw his father take worse, and he himself has seen worse.  I don't think this is over.  Chinese politics is too subtle, like Chinese Opera, to take at ace value.

At least they are not executing political problems any more.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
