Hu Exits as Party’s Crisis Remains Unresolved


Missed Opportunity

Whether Bo was involved in the planning of Heywood’s murder—he had as much reason as Gu to wish the Brit dead—is not known. But eventually the truth will come out about Bo and Gu’s involvement in organ harvesting and the selling of the corpses of Falun Gong practitioners to factories in Dalian that turn the corpses into exhibition pieces.

Hu has apparently chosen the way of least resistance by not settling now the question of Bo’s guilt for crimes against humanity and, through a prosecution of Bo, the guilt of the faction of which Bo was a leading member.

Hu may have feared that a full revelation of Bo’s crimes would have damaged the Party beyond repair.

Hu may have feared that a full revelation of Bo’s crimes would have damaged the Party beyond repair. He may have also feared that Bo’s political allies would have taken revenge on him for his handling of Bo or even prevented Hu from acting.

By temporizing, Hu has left the issue of the guilt of Bo and Jiang’s faction as a time bomb that will blow up in the future with unknown repercussions.

While Bo Xilai and Gu Kailai first saw the persecution of Falun Gong as a chance to climb up the CCP’s ladder, Gu quickly saw in all of the practitioners crowding Bo’s new jails something else: a chance for immense profits. According to a source familiar with the matter, Neil Heywood was there with her from the beginning as a trusted aide as she began making money from the organs and bodies of the practitioners....

Atrocity: Behind the Headlines in China

Call for investigations by media and governments into organ harvesting in China.
 
The trial of Gu Kailai, wife of ousted Bo Xilai, the murder of British businessman Neil Heywood last Nov., former police chief Wang Lijun taking refuge in the American Consulate in Chengdu in February, and the fall from grace of Bo Xilai in March, stripped of his powers and investigated for disciplinary violations—all seem opaque. The motives of the main players are murky.

“The real reason Heywood was murdered was because of his involvement in organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners and the export of their bodies to be used in body exhibitions,” said Terri Wu, representing the Falun Dafa Association of Washington, D.C.

Wu based her conclusion on information from an Epoch Times’ source reported on August 8 in the article, The Real Reason Gu Kailai Murdered UK Businessman Neil Heywood. The source said that Heywood was involved with Bo and Gu in the business of organ harvesting in Liaoning, and had begun to tell people about their involvement.

Gu Kailai Trial in China Seen as Political Opera

Commentators of the Gu Kailai murder trial sentencing say the whole thing looked staged.

The Gu Kailai trial has been regarded as the most important show trial in China since the sentencing of the “Gang of Four”—a group tried as traitors, including Mao Zedong’s widow—at the end of the Cultural Revolution in 1981.

Analysts said the outcome of the Gu trial was predetermined, with the judges and others acting out a pre-written script.
