Bo Xilai charges: Chinese Communist Party statement

More interesting than that spoiled brat Gigi Chao story: Here news about what happens to Bo Xi Lai.
This is from BBC News - just 2 hours ago:

Disgraced Chinese Politburo member Bo Xilai has been expelled from the ruling Communist Party and is to face criminal charges - he is accused of abuse of power, bribe-taking and violating party discipline. Following is the official translation of the party statement, translated by state news agency Xinhua.

Bo Xilai has been expelled from the Communist Party of China (CPC) and his public office, according to a decision made at a meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee on Friday.

The meeting also decided to transfer Bo's suspected law violations and relevant clues to judicial organs.

The decisions were made after the meeting deliberating and adopting an investigation report on Bo's severe disciplinary violations submitted by the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI).

At a meeting held on 10 April, members of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee were briefed on the investigation into the incident of former Chongqing vice-mayor Wang Lijun's entering the US Consulate General in Chengdu without permission, as well as the reinvestigation into the suspected murder of British citizen Neil Heywood by Bogu Kailai, Bo's wife.

Based on Bo's mistakes and responsibilities in the two cases and clues to his other discipline violations found in the probe of the two cases, the CPC Central Committee decided to suspend Bo's membership in the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau and in the CPC Central Committee, and the CCDI filed the case for investigation.

Investigations found that Bo seriously violated the party disciplines while heading the city of Dalian, Liaoning Province and the Ministry of Commerce, as well as serving as a member of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau and party chief of Chongqing Municipality.

Bo abused his power, made severe mistakes and bore major responsibility in the Wang Lijun incident and the intentional homicide case of Bogu Kailai.

He took advantage of his office to seek profits for others and received huge bribes personally and through his family.

His position was also abused by his wife, Bogu Kailai, to seek profits for others and his family thereby accepted a huge amount of money and property from others.

Bo had affairs and maintained improper sexual relationships with a number of women.

He was also found to have violated organisational and personnel disciplines and made wrong decisions in personnel promotion, which led to serious consequences.

The investigation also found clues to his suspected involvement in other crimes.

Bo's behaviours have brought serious consequences, badly undermined the reputation of the party and the country, created very negative impact at home and abroad and significantly damaged the cause of the party and people.

China vs. Japan

Since weeks chinese people are shouting, demonstrating, looting against Japan ! Because of that one Island so many claim it is their own. One point to remind all that chinese demonstrators: Japan was & is one of the biggest investors in China. Today's China would not be the same without that Japanese investments. We are talking about 40 years plus about that relationship. Consideration is most appropriate ! Here some copies about what is going on there:
17 SEP, 2012, 09.42PM IST, AP China reins in rowdy anti-Japan demonstrations BEIJING: China moved to tamp down rising anti-Japan sentiment after a weekend of sometimes violent demonstrations, threatening Monday to arrest lawbreakers and scrubbing websites of protest-related images and posts. But Japanese businesses were taking no chances, with restaurants and shops in Beijing, including popular clothing retailer Uniqlo, closed on Monday. Factories belonging to electronics maker Panasonic, two of which were damaged over the weekend, also were shut. More demonstrations were expected Tuesday, the anniversary of a 1931 incident that Japan used as a pretext to invade Manchuria before World War II. Officials in at least one district of Beijing advised Japanese businesses not to open on Tuesday, Japan's Kyodo News agency reported. Tensions have been growing for months in the dispute over ownership of a string of uninhabited islands in the East China Sea called the Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China. Those came to a head last week when the Japanese government said it was purchasing some of the islands from their private owner to thwart a Japanese politician's plans to buy and develop them. China reacted angrily, sending marine patrol ships inside Japanese-claimed waters around the islands, which Tokyo has administered since 1972. Some state media urged Chinese to show their patriotism by boycotting Japanese goods and canceling travel to Japan. Protests flared in cities across China over the weekend, with occasional outbreaks of violence, including the torching and looting of Japanese-invested factories and shops. They were the largest anti-Japanese demonstrations since 2005, reflecting ever-present anger toward Tokyo that periodically bursts to the surface. China's authoritarian government rarely allows protests and the wave of anti-Japanese demonstrations clearly received a degree of official approval. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Monday that Japan should be mindful of the Chinese public's feelings and return to the negotiating table. ``The Chinese people have expressed strong indignation,'' Hong told reporters at a regular briefing. ``Whether the Japanese side can take seriously China's firm stance and the Chinese people's call for justice and whether they can take the correct attitude and action will determine how the situation develops.'' Authorities, however, are walking a tightrope between allowing citizens to vent and losing control of the protests, which could then turn against the government. By Monday, authorities were clamping down. In the western city of Xi'an, police issued an order banning large-scale protests in commercial areas, districts with large populations, and anywhere near government offices. The statement also warned that the use of mobile texting or online messaging to organize illegal demonstrations was forbidden. In the southern city of Guangzhou, police said they arrested seven people for attacking cars and three for vandalizing shops. ``The Guangzhou police would like to remind the public to be rational while being patriotic. Demonstrations must proceed according to law,'' police said in a statement. Police in the eastern port of Qingdao, where protesters torched a Panasonic factory and Toyota dealership, also reported arrests.

TROUBLE IN SHEUNG SHUI

This one from here Just click here (includes photos & videos) - it is really true it is disgusting what you can see everyday in the station & trains there. They normally prefer to take the 1st class of the MTR to Lowu. Without feeling any shyness in the wagon they start packing things (on body) or in bappacks. recently I saw a guy with at least 10 Ipads (unpacked) - storing all parts in different kind of luggage & on his body. “Liberate Sheung Shui Station”: Hong Kong Netizens Act Against Smugglers This entry was posted on September 15, 2012, in Conflicts between Hongkonger and Mainlander, Individual Visit Scheme and tagged 自由行, 水客. Bookmark the permalink. 3 Comments Recently, a netizen posted photos of smugglers of Sheung Shui Station and the issue sparks anger among netizens again. The event page “光復上水站” (Liberate Sheung Shui Station) was later set up to ask other netizens to “have a walk in Sheung Shui Station” on 9.15 and 9.16. Individual Visit Scheme (IVS) Worsens Smuggling According to an essay titled “Sheung Shui has too many IVS tourists that the place becomes unwalkable” from inmediahk.net, The conflict between Sheung Shui residents and Mainlanders and smugglers starts from the moment of getting off a train. In the past, the northbound (to Lo Wu) platform had always been empty. Boarding a train was an easy job. The chance of encountering smugglers, who were mostly housewives earning extra income, was occasional. In recent years, getting off a train is like competing to be the first pilgrim of Wong Tai Sin Temple on the first day of the lunar calendar – there are many people getting off trains and even more people boarding, even during rush hours. By estimation, the former is Sheung Shui residents and the latter is either Mainlanders or smugglers. These days, majority of smugglers are Mainlanders, taking the advantage of multiple entry permit to earn extra income. (*This policy was implemented in April 2009 to make Shenzhen residents more convenient.) Therefore, everyone doesn’t give way. Getting off a train is like a battle. One can’t get off a train if one doesn’t give full effort. In the past, traveling was tranquil. Now, one has to squeeze into the crowded northbound train to Sheung Shui and then shove to get off. Squeezing through the crowd to return home, one finally feels tranquil.

HK backs down on national education

The Hong Kong government on Saturday backed down on a plan to force school children to take national education classes, after weeks of protests and on the eve of crucial legislative polls.

Hong Kong's Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying told a press conference that his government would not seek to implement an originally planned 2015 deadline to introduce mandatory national education in all of the city's primary schools.

“The amendment of this policy means that we are giving the authority to the schools. The schools are given the authority to decide when and how they would like to introduce the moral and national education,” Leung told reporters.

SOME PEOPLE SAID THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT CAN NOT DO WHATEVER IT WANTS.

Lay your head down.........
