Report Confirms Wang Lijun Sought Asylum
Preliminary report circulated among Chinese government officials following the dismissal of Bo Xilai asserts that the former Chongqing party chief had planned to disrupt a corruption investigation into his own family and purge Wang Lijun, the former top lieutenant who disappeared in February amid rumors of an attempted defection.
Post-mortems continue to emerge following last week’s announcement that the Chinese government had replaced Bo, ending his push for a seat on the Politburo’s elite Standing Committee and likely the Politburo itself. Ian Johnson speculates in The New York Review of Books that Bo’s removal from the Politburo will take place at this fall’s 18th party congress, where the next generation of leaders will take the reins of the party, and he adds that Bo’s troubles may have begun years before the controversy surrounding Wang Lijun forced Bo’s polarizing candidacy to the forefront.
