I think China should ban those HK/Taiwan celebrities who support this protest

[terranMarine]

She murdered a Brit which is fine. i'm sure it was due to business dealings. I do not think for one second the victim is innocent as he was portrayed.
After Xi's term, Bo will be released?

As long it's not a Chinese businessman i'm fine with that too , payback time from the Opium trade

His wife was a murderer and Bo was an accomplice who tried to cover up the crime to hide their overseas bank accounts filled with ill-gotten money. Maybe that constitutes being a great leader in Vietnam but I'm not surprised since Vietnam is way more corrupt than China. By about 36 spots on the transparency international index actually.

lol more propaganda, more propaganda, more propaganda

had gu spared that briton, china would have been in serious trouble

do you have any knowledge on the amount of property, bo's rival is having?

anyone can go to dalian, liaoning and chongqing and ask the ordinary people how was bo xilai? many of them still revere him no less than a god, and have you ever asked why? why did all the criminal gangs and mafia groups were scared of bo? how came chongqing transformed itself from a mere village to a city under bo'x rule?

bo xilai was a gift from heaven to china
he never cared about any elite committee
he always said, he works for china and nobody else

China shuts down Maoist website Utopia | World news | The Guardian

Move comes amid political crisis over dismissal of Bo Xilai, championed by Utopia, and ahead of autumn power transition

Chinese officials have closed a leading neo-Maoist website for a month because it posted sensitive political content, according to its founders.

At least one other leftist site was also suspended.

The move comes amid the country's most serious political crisis in two decades, after the dismissal of Chongqing party secretary Bo Xilai, who promoted "red culture" and was championed by the Utopia website. Debates between left and right are heating up ahead of this autumn's transition of power to a new generation of leaders.

Utopia was closed for a few days immediately after Bo's sacking last month, reopening after articles about Chongqing were removed.

A notice posted on Friday said three government agencies had ordered it to close for a month while it underwent self-examination because it had "published articles that violated the constitution, maliciously attacked state leaders and speculated wildly about the 18th Party Congress". The congress will officially select the new leaders.

The announcement added that the officials from the State Council Information Office, the Beijing internet management office, and the Beijing police internet security office had warned that the site could only go back online with their approval.

"Our staff asked for a list of articles that they thought violated the constitution and said we would certainly co-operate and deal with these problems. They did not have any specific articles or evidence. In the end, the conversation was cut short and rudely ended," it said.

The notice was later replaced with a message saying the site was under maintenance.

Fan Jinggang, the general manager of Utopia, said the closure came two and a half hours after he posted the announcement at midday on Friday.

"I think it is because of both tighter control of the internet and also the nature of Utopia as a left[wing] platform," he said.

The site is staunchly opposed to the economic reforms that liberals have pressed in recent months and Fan recently told the Economist that attacks on Bo were the work of "anti-China forces".

A volunteer at the office for the Maoflag website, which was available a few days ago but closed on Friday, said he had learned of its closure that morning.

"It's the government's action. We have to obey. When they say we should stop, then I'll stop. After all, I'm just a volunteer," he said, declining to give his name.

Asked when the website might become available again, he replied: "Heaven knows."

Other closed sites included Mao's Time, iMaoZedong and Mao Zedong's Art.

China puts a stop to Maoist revival - Los Angeles Times

Reporting from Beijing — In the latest political tumult in China, it is the Maoists who find themselves in trouble.

Maoist websites have been shut down, ostensibly for "maintenance." A public park in Chongqing where retirees sang and twirled to patriotic anthems while waving red flags posted a notice saying the music was now banned because it disturbed the neighborhood. A former television host, known for his Maoist views, found his scheduled speeches abruptly canceled.

The crackdown started late last week during the conclusion of the National People's Congress. On Thursday, Premier Wen Jiabao called for political reforms to protect the nation's economy, warning that without change, China could be revisiting the crueltyof the Cultural Revolution, Mao Tse-tung's 1966-76 purge of intellectuals. The following day, Bo Xilai, the Communist Party chief in Chongqing and a popular figure for leftists, was sacked from his post.

"This can't be coincidence," said Sima Nan, a scholar and former TV host whose home in Beijing opens into a foyer decorated with a large bust of Mao next to a smaller one of Lenin. He had written several blog posts criticizing Wen's warnings about the Cultural Revolution.

Then, on Friday, Sima was notified that speeches he was scheduled to deliver at universities in Beijing and Hong Kong had been canceled. "I've been a Communist Party member for over 30 years, so I feel very sad that my point of view is banned from the public discourse," he said in response.

Censors appear to have struck in other locations Friday. Three well-known websites popular among the left, Utopia, Maoflag.net and Redchinacn.com, experienced technical problems, silencing critics of Wen's words and helping nip in the bud any public demonstrations in support of Bo.

A few demonstrators appeared Monday at Chaotianmen Square with a red banner that read, "Chairman Bo, the people of Chongqing miss you." They were spirited away by Chongqing police within minutes and a photograph of the demonstration was quickly deleted from websites in China.

The opaque nature of the Chinese Communist Party makes it difficult to determine whether the crackdown is an attempt to weaken Bo and his base, or whether it reflects a deeper ideological divide within the party's leadership.

Chongqing became the epicenter of a Maoist revival under Bo's leadership during the last five years. With great fanfare, the ambitious Communist Party chief spearheaded a campaign to crack down on gangs and corruption. Another program harked back to the early communist days: public singing and dancing to nostalgic revolutionary songs, often while wearing Red Army costumes.

Bo, 62, is the son of one of China's revolutionary pioneers, Bo Yibo. Until recently, he was a rising star and a contender for a coveted seat on the nine-member Standing Committee of the Politburo, to be selected at the 18th party congress in October. He has since been caught up in a scandal that became public last month when his former sidekick, Wang Lijun, who had recently been fired as public security director in Chongqing, sought asylum in a U.S. Consulate, saying his life was in danger.

According to a U.S.-based Chinese website, Boxun.com, a preliminary investigation last week found that Bo had acted improperly in removing Wang from his post without notifying the Ministry of Public Security after Wang came to "report a matter related to Bo Xilai's family because police officers handling the case felt pressure and had handed in their resignation letters."

The report, purportedly by the party central governing office, also said, "This is a very serious incident which has brought negative attention domestically and internationally.... Wang Lijun is directly responsible. Bo Xilai as party secretary takes overall responsibility as a leader."

A 25-minute recording of the report being read aloud by an official with a Chongqing accent was also posted on YouTube. Its authenticity could not be confirmed.

Bo's downfall is a bitter disappointment to Maoist revivalists. "People saw a lot of hope in the Chongqing model. In economy, Chongqing was No. 1 in the country. The security improved. Social morality improved," said Sima.

Within Chinese politics, such people, who refer to themselves as leftists, are a small faction that has often sparred with dissidents such as artist Ai Weiwei, yet has focused on many of the same problems: the gap between rich and poor, corruption and rampant materialism. Among its ranks are some older party members and a few intellectuals, laid-off state employees and others rediscovering Mao and updating his ideas for the Internet.

The Utopia website also runs a small bookstore on the sixth floor of a Beijing skyscraper. Communist kitsch covers its walls: porcelain Mao figurines, red star caps and titles like "The Power of Red Songs."
