FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
One particularly persistent rumour, which has not been linked to any informed
source, is that Mr Bo and Zhou Yongkang, the former head of China’s Public
Security ministry, had plotted a coup.
What is clear is that neither Mr Bo, nor Mr Zhou, have been heard of since
last Wednesday. Mr Zhou did not appear at a national legal propaganda
conference in Shanghai this week, which he had previously attended in 2010,
but sent a letter instead.
“There are too many rumours,” said Zhang Ming, a professor of
politics at Renmin university. “This is black box politics. No one
knows what is happening inside. And when people do not know, they can only
guess.”
In the vacuum, several factions inside the party are vying to put forward
their views, and to smear their rivals.
In addition, the media arm of the Falun Gong movement, which has been
violently suppressed in China, has been responsible for publishing some of
the rumours, Mr Zhang noted.
“All kinds of forces are participating,” he said. “The
editorial in the Global Times reflects the bewilderment. The Global Times
supported Mr Bo’s work in Chongqing in the past, now that he has fallen, it
is certainly flustered. It is hoping that the central leadership will set a
tone for it to follow.”
Meanwhile, Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao, who are in their final year as Chinese
president and premier respectively, appear to be trying to consolidate their
support among the People’s Liberation Army, a key constituency.
The PLA Daily newspaper and the People’s Daily have published a series of
articles this year urging the army to remain loyal to Mr Hu, who is also the
chairman of the Central Military Commission, which oversees the PLA.
“Historical experience shows that hostile forces at home and overseas
will seize the chance to make trouble when our party and our country are
busy dealing with important issues,” the article said. “We should
unswervingly advocate the absolute leadership of the party [and] make sure
the whole army listens to the central leadership as well as CMC chairman Hu.”
Separately, there was also a move on Thursday to ensure that all new lawyers
in China swear allegiance to the party when they receive their professional
licence for the first time. Courts in China already operate under the
direction of the party.
