Note: The report cites

The last three paragraphs:

"The House Foreign Affairs Committee is investigating the Wang Lijun case and has asked for documents related to the affair. A committee spokesman said so far the State Department has failed to comply with the committee’s requests.

"The US official said the case of Bo versus Beijing was similar to the situation in Moscow prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.

“'But the tragedy for China is that Bo is no Yeltsin, and there is no Gorbachev within the collective dictatorship,' the official said.'“In the Soviet case, Yeltsin won over Gorbachev, who willingly conceded defeat.'

My comment:
(a) The report cites
Michael Wines and Jonathan Ansfield, Report on Ousted China Official Shows Effort at Damage Control. New York Times, Mar 20, 2012 (front page in print)
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/2 ... orruption-case.html
("A version of the report, posted on a Chinese Web site and verified independently, provides a rare glimpse of the government’s internal efforts to manage one of its biggest political earthquakes in years")
(b) I had finished reading today's NY Times (print) before writing the posting Bo's Wife Implicated. Unfortunately, I missed the front-page report.
