in the mean time china politics is as interesting, what with own version of 99 vs 1 until the bad 1, as you put it, 'seek god' from other news there shall apparently be up to 5 years of political house-cleaning in the name of anti-corruption, and expect many comrades to be pulled into school to criticize and to self-criticize so as to seek redemption, and many groups of boyz have gone completely quiet much as a formation of aircraft disperse at light of first boom kaboom just in in-tray From: C Sent: Monday, September 3, 2012 8:06 AM Subject: Oops: a little too much attention....A black Ferrari, a playboy's death and political fallout for Hu Jintao's top aide The crash of a black Ferrari on Beijing's North Fourth Ring Road involved far more than sxx, a fast car and a playboy. It also put the political career of Ling Jihua, President Hu Jintao's top aide for more than two decades, at stake. In the early hours of March 18 - just three days after the Communist Party sacked Bo Xilai as party chief of Chongqing - a speeding Ferrari smashed into a wall, rebounded and crushed a railing on the opposite side of the road. One naked body and two half-naked bodies were thrown from the wreckage. A half-naked man, in his 20s, died immediately while two young women - one naked and one half-naked - were seriously injured. The accident would come to affect behind-the-scenes political jockeying in the run-up to this autumn's 18th party congress - which will produce China's new generation of leaders. *** As reported today the newspaper "South China Morning Post," Ling, 56 and very close to the current president, has left the post after the political damage that scandals have involved around it. Among them, the death of his son last March when he was traveling at full speed with a Ferrari in Beijing, along with two women, or their relationship with the former Minister of Railways Liu Zhijun (investigated for corruption during the construction of the national network of "bullet trains"). The director of the General Office of the Central Committee is in practice a personal assistant of the main communist leaders, a position that was delivered yesterday, Saturday, to Li Zhanshu, 62 and an old acquaintance of Vice President Xi Jinping, as both district leaders were in the same province (Hebei) in the 80s. Ling was the day appointed head of the Department of United Front Work, a position for analysts is considered a consolation (responsible, among other things, to coordinate the CCP with the eight non-Communist parties minority in the country). For observers of "South China Morning Post", the relay means that Ling has peaked in his political career and may not enter the Standing Committee of the CPC (the group of seven or nine people who govern the destiny of the country in the next ten years), whose composition will be announced in October. None of the predecessors to Ling went so high in the Politburo, the paper examines Hong Kong, one that more closely follows the discreet but ruthless power struggle that exists in the CCP in the months before the decisive XVIII Congress. President Hu, who will then secretary general of the party, most likely in favor of Vice President Xi Ling and wanted to place some of his allies in the Standing Committee will surely cease to be a member. It is customary in the Chinese government that communist leaders , after gradual withdrawal (leaving next month the party leadership in March 2013 his posts as head of state and government, later the head of the Army) try placing its closest to conserve power quotas. In any case, the new director of the General Office of the Central Committee Li Zhanshu, is, as Ling, a politician from the League of Young Communists, a key base of support for outgoing President Hu, so the relay is also interpreted as a man of consensus between him and the "rising star" Xi.
