China Report | Issue 05
The trial of Bo Xilai (P10) has dominated news coverage of China this month, with unprecedented publicity facilitated by the live text reporting of court proceedings. China Report explores Bo’s trial in-depth, and its wider implications for China’s closed-door judicial process.
Tradition is also in the dock this issue: while the idea of military ranks for singers may seem strange, in China, ‘art soldiers’ are an established tradition of the People’s Liberation Army. Can the tradition survive a series of public scandals (P44)?
