Way cleared for Bo Xilai’s trial

The Hindu  

The former Communist Party of China Politburo member Bo Xilai was on Thursday formally charged with bribery and abuse of power, paving the way for the once influential “princeling” to stand trial soon. Mr. Bo will be the highest-ranked CPC official to stand trial since the former Politburo member and Shanghai Party Chief Chen Liangyu, who, in April 2008, was also charged with bribery and abuse of power. A Politburo meeting in September last year already approved of an internal investigation report detailing Mr. Bo’s “severe disciplinary violations”. Before Mr. Wang’s unexpected flight to the U.S. Consulate, Mr. Bo had been seen by many as a front-runner to secure a seat on the next Politburo – and as a possible rival power centre to the anointed new leader, and fellow “princeling”, Xi Jinping.
