Virtuous Confucian Values in action? <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. > What with Shakespearian murder by Bo Xilai's wife and buddies, one could imagine that nothing much good is going to be coming out of China any time soon. Birds of a feather and all that. It's in keeping with the values I have seen in action in mainland China. It's akin to Iraqi politics under Saddam. He murdered two sons in law - and a lot more besides. Uday was not a shrinking violet either. The Iraqi state existed for the glory and power of those in the emperor's court. Much like China it seems. Some would say Obama's date-nights via dedicated 747 are of similar style involving much personal glory and money is no object. These days, the USA bosses, like China's, can simply disappear people with no habeas corpus. The trends are not good. Laughter at China is a reasonable response. Contempt for those in power a sensible attitude. What with Berlusconi and his bunga bunga, Prince Harry's harlots, and China's hot-shots, the down-trou seems to be pandemic these days. Mqurice
