Wang Lequan Rumored in Trouble

Sina Weibo had circulated intel that Wang Lequan, a former member of the CCP Politburo had been under investigation for corruption. Once confirmed, this will be the first Politburo level senior official brought down by the Xi-Li administration. It has been a custom and tradition for a new leadership to sacrifice a politburo level senior official to various causes as part of the once a decade power transition. Jiang Zemin took out Chen Xitong. Hu Jintao took out Chen Liangyu. The public had been speculating on which one would be picked this time.

Wang Lequan was the top Party chief in Xinjiang, before named the deputy chief of the Party's politics and law committee.

The Order Came from the Highest Level

Chen told the Beijing Music Radio that the order to switch girls were from the highest level, a communism politburo member, 3 days before the opening night, after the last formal rehearsal. Comparing this with news report at the time, the 'politburo member' is Mr. Xi Jinping. Son of Mr. Xi Zhongxun, an senior communism official. Mr. Xi Jinping has been set to replace Mr. Hu Jintao to be the next 'core' of the CCP leadership.

It'll be interesting to see on which scale this unnecessarily stupid act may cost Xi's potential to be the next 'core' of China.
