Former Party head Jiang Zemin’s faction was not able to cut ties with the disgraced Bo Xilai, and the current Party head Hu Jintao’s moves against Bo have set the stage for finishing off that faction. To what end is not yet clear.

The axe fell on former Chongqing Party chief Bo Xilai on Sept. 28, when he was expelled from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and brought up on criminal charges.

Whenever a CCP official is put under investigation, Party members usually try to cut ties with him.

Bo cut ties with his former police chief Wang Lijun. Wang was being investigated by Party central and needed Bo’s protection. In a meeting in late January, Wang informed Bo of his wife’s role in the murder of British businessman Neil Heywood, trying to pressure Bo into supporting him.
