The Murder That Shook Up The CCP | The Big Steal
Before his fall from grace, Bo Xilai was at the height of his power in China’s political establishment, considered a rival to no-less than Xi Jinping, the current President of China.
However, the murder of a business associate marked the beginning of the end of Bo’s grasp on power.

Underreported???? You could make a video a day on American politicians who have murdered others AND stolen hundreds of millions of dollars from American tax payers, and not run out of content for at least a few years. But Vice hasn't made a single one of those. I am really starting to be concerned that Vice is receiving money for video production from the US government because of their increase in anti-china content.
Credit where credit is due. This presenter is very good at explaining such an under-focused area of global politics, given how China operates and how important it is as a global power. And how the CCP truly does wear a big mask to hide so much behind the scenes…

Can anyone give me quick run down? For example on a quick run down. According to Cambodian media reports, a US-made explosive weighing almost one ton containing more than 500 kilograms of explosives was uncovered opposite the Royal Palace in the capital Phnom Penh the other day. In April this year alone, at least five unexploded US aerial bombs were discovered in Cambodia by the Cambodian Mine Action Center, each weighing more than 200 kilograms. Some local scholars pointed out that the US self-styled global peace and democracy is built on hypocrisy, deception and violence incited all over the world, and only brings chaos, instability and threats to the peace and security of countries smaller in size with less power. They called on the US not to interfere in other countries’ internal affairs in the name of democracy and human rights, or use double standards to create chaos and turbulence that undermines peace, democracy and human rights. What is China’s comment? Zhao Lijian: I have also noted relevant information. During the Vietnam War, the US used cluster bombs and bio-chemical weapons and committed heinous crimes in Southeast Asian countries including Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. I did my homework before coming here and I have some examples to share. Back then, the US released more than 15 million tons of bombs, landmines and shells in Vietnam, of which about 80,000 tons are unexploded and remain scattered in nearly 20% of the country’s territory. Over the more than 40 years after the end of the Vietnam War, the unexploded ordnance has killed more than 40,000 people and wounded more than 60,000, or about 1,000 and 1,500 respectively per year. By the current speed of removal, these explosives are expected to be cleared in 300 years. The US sprayed about two million gallons of Agent Orange in Vietnam to destroy the Ho Chi Minh Trail, which infected nearly five million Vietnamese and killed 400,000 people. About two million people got cancer or other diseases. And many children were born with congenital deformity and disabilities. In Laos, the US troops dropped 270 million bombs, weighing two million tons together, meaning one ton or 135 bombs for each people in the country. About 80 million bombs, or nearly 30% of the total, did not detonate and are still buried in 37% of Laos territory. More than 200,000 people have lost their lives in more than a hundred incidents involving mistakenly triggering the bombs every year after the war. The local socioeconomic development has also taken a heavy toll. In Laos, 46 out of the 47 most impoverished areas are densely filled by unexploded ordnance. The still-incomplete data of Yale University reveals that from October 1965 to August 1973, the US dropped 2.7 million tons’ worth of ordnance on Cambodia. Statistics of the Cambodian government show that from 1979 to 2021, nearly 20,000 people were killed and more than 45,000 people were crippled by unexploded ordnance including landmines. The US keeps talking about defending democracy and human rights in Southeast Asian countries. They should not profess this until they remove all the unexploded bombs. But sadly, tragedies of the last century are being repeated in the new era. In the past two decades, the US military has launched over 90,000 air strikes on Syria, Iraq and other countries, killing approximately 48,000 civilians.

He also spent a lot of money cleaning up the streets, improving images of Chongqing, refreshed the shopfronts of the city etc. Yes we all knew he was corrupt and once powerful, but most normal people remembered a lot of good about him.

What are you talking about? Chinese politicians have to answer to the people and to the law. All of them. Including xi. China is not USA where no president or ex president will ever go jail. They will even be executed if they did something bad enough. Same goes for rich billionaires etc. China is a country of laws and equality, you cannot just buy politicians and they write laws for you. No. That is USA and the west. In China you will be punished by the law no matter you are a high ranking politician or a rich billionaire. Just look at corruption, which USA has legalised as "lobbying" under citizens united. You can legally buy politicians and hire them as "consultants" for millions as soon as they leave office. There is no chance that is allowed in China, because that is corruption and bribery. As it should be. Not like in the west where this is legal and normal part of politics. West and rest of the world needs of learn from china. China learned and took all the best parts of western gov and adapted it, while removing all the rubbish like corruption and dual party opposition. Intra party opposition is much more efficient and healthier for the country and getting things done. Opposition is tearing USA and the west apart, society has turned polarised, become toxic and nothing ever gets done. No country who ever adopted western liberal democracy ever improved as a result of it. Just look at India compared to China. If they improved it was despite it, not because of it.

Almost all of them had ties to Jiang Zemin, the Chinese leader after Deng Xiaoping and before Hu Jintao, who was before Xi Jinping. Jiang supported the Tiananmen Square massacre and started the persecution of Falun Gong. Xi on the other hand was a compromise candidate between elitist faction (Jiang) and the technocrat faction (Hu), but now he's become his own power base because he made a Mao-style personality cult (literally putting Xi Jinping Thought as part of the constitution).

Bo Xilai and his wife's arrests, and the event's leading up to them, were both apart of the movie, "the Laundromat". The film went into the role that shell-companies, and the protection they offer, played in this murder.
For those who love some drama: supposedly Bo Xilai's wife Gu Kailai and Neil Heywood were also dating on the side. And the police chief Wang also had a thing with Bo's wife Fu Kailai.

In order to get into the group of top 8 leaders of the party, a member has to work for the government at a province with a certain population(like 20m) for a certain period (like 20 years). It's the same for Bo with his Chongqing job. Xi did it too. Someone likes to interpret it as 'internal struggle' but I doubt they know about how the party works. Actually Bo grew up with Xi together and they were like brothers. And interesting thing is, Bo had always been considered the 'Leader' of their group while Xi was like a sidekick. As a result everybody was expecting Bo to become the one on top until the corruption case came up. Hell of a struggle on Xi's side though. Did Xi really carried out the 'Anti-Corruption' operation to eliminate his political opponents? Nobody knows. But he's still arresting corrupt officials every once a while till this day, but nobody accused him of corruption at court yet, which is interesting to think about. I know this because I'm Chinese and like to dig into the mechanism of the party.

Unlike the Cuban Party the CCP is much more like Stalin's because that is where its history comes from. So the use of frame up methods and intrigue are to be expected as scapegoats become targets for any kind of social discontent over past polices that occurs. The Party elite can't just announce to the Chinese workers and peasants it wants the power and prerogatives of the American Imperialists who couldn't tell the American workers they wanted Hitler's dream of a thousand year Reich. Unlike American politicians unabashed defense of capitalist exploitation and foreign Imperialist investment China'a Imperialism with Chinese Characteristics Party.finds itself adopting the thoughts and quotes of past leaders based upon past popularity instead of leading the world class struggle at home or abroad. instead of praising the ideal bourgeoisie entrepreneur in America as social leader.

USSR's failure roots from the deficiency of its system, which led to corruption and incompetant officials. On the other hand CCP's way of anti-corruption is a new invention that suits itself, the same as its selecting mechanism. And it's working well since Xi came into power. So Chinese people don't really mind CCP holds power forever as long as it keeps deliver what it promises like the past 70 years. That's a part where westerners never understand but it's ok.

Take a look at the US, or any other country for that matter....
1:50 hmm... your depiction of the CYL (Tuanpai) sounds alright, but I'm not sure if you can describe the Princelings as a political group like that... a Princeling is a Chinese politician defined but as a child of another Chinese politician. The son of the Tuanpai Wen Jiabao for example is a princeling, but chances are he thinks like his father. What it *sounds* like you're describing is the Shanghai Clique which is indeed full of Princelings who were appointed by it's leader Jiang Zemin, but ofc is not just a collection of all the Princelings. The Shanghai Clique is (or was... or what's left of it is) indeed full of proponents of the economic growth focus over the Tuanpai's socioeconomic concerns. But Bo Xilai was not part of the Shanghai Clique. In fact you can probably say he was the furthest thing from it. Bo was one of the pioneers/crusaders of the Chinese New Left (which Xi Jinping is a part of), which has very much detested the Dengist neoliberal-ish politics Jiang wheeled in in the 90's. The New Left is very much concerned with the maintenance of Mao-reminiscient socialist principles in China and consequently the rollback of much Deng Xiaoping Thought-led reform (like you address in 3:50 and 4:50). Actually many of the Shanghai Clique cronies have been imprisoned by Xi's New Left anti-corruption campaigns. Now this doesn't preclude you from saying that Bo Xilai himself prioritized economic growth if you want to (I don't know that claim to be wrong necessarily) but, 1. his clique was more of the New Left than the Princelings (which isn't a clique to begin with really) and 2. I don't know how accurate it would then be to say that the New Left as a whole particularly prioritizes economic growth really.

woah. atom on vice congrats
Your analysis is not correct about the fractional politics -- it's three main fractions: the princelings, the youth league, and the shanghai gang. The first is Bo and Xi etc, the second headed by Wen and Li who are the last and current premiers, the last one is the group associated with jiang, who's the third chicom paramount leader.

Never heard it put in those terms before. One party is about “social cohesion” one is about “economic growth” - that’s essentially dems and republicans although corporate dems are just as much about Econ growth as republicans - still interesting tho
