In the announcement that officially and finally terminated Bo Xilai’s political career and expelled him from the Chinese Communist Party on Sept. 28, Xinhua, the state mouthpiece, made passing mention of Bo’s “improper sexual relationships with a number of women.”
China’s microblogging sites were quickly abuzz with who the female counterparties may have been. Chinese female celebrities on Sina Weibo, a Chinese version of Twitter, soon declared that they never knew Bo Xilai, and had never been to Chongqing.
