A Political Outlook of China
In my firs thread link here,there were many pondering discussion regard to the power structure in China, Yet, there is a one big question remain unanswered---who is/will be the Chairman on the board of China Inc.?
well, for the past half month, when we all Chinese people were enjoying our Spring Festival, many unexpected changes happened in the top level of the Chinese government. largely unknown for the public yet. but little pieces start to leak out. For starter, let me tape back a little, from the Chinese High-Speed Rail(HSR) system, remember what I said the Chinese HSR is a technology ¨buy back¨ creation? link here
Also a little tale support my point link here
Now, who is in charge of the development of Chinese HSR system? what happened to him lately? ---Mr Liu, a career official in the rail sector, has been railways minister since 2003, an unusually long period. He was also a member of the party’s central committee – about 370 leading officials in the country. Now this unusual career official who built the largest HSR system in the world is dismissed and under investigation, officially, public news(Chinese mainstreet media)released in Feb 12th. this is an english news version news link here
and Why is that important?
For the context of the story:
In China, if a high level officer being dismissed and under investigation, the official explanation is always the same thing: Corruption. but you know what, almost every officer in Chinese government, whether they are high level or low level, corruption is a common knowledge. In fact, corruption is the least crime in Chinese Communist Party(CCP), unofficially. so, the corruption accusation basically is handy tool for political dissension.
Who is Mr.Liu really?
1) he was one of the most meritorious figures in CCP´s standard who had a profound contribution in Chinese HSR system which is the biggest public project in China for the last half century and is the proud of Chinese govt. And, his position is very unique in Chinese main bureaucracies. In the past, the railways ministry has been one of the most independent of the country’s main bureaucracies and has resisted attempts to reform some of its procedures.
2) what is his corruption really? money? of course, that is one thing for sure.but as I said: that is the least crime in CCP´s standard,moreover, he was a hottie(I mean really hot) in CCP. So the real question is: whom did he get money from? and what did he trade for? now that is where my take come in-----Mr.Liu, he accepted the money from the ´wrong side´, and work ´too hard´ for the ´wrong side´ in a wrong time---that is real cause get him busted.
So, what is the ¨wrong side¨ at this time within the Chinese Power structure ? ---the side derived from the western PTB
Context of Mr. Liu´s downfall is like this: if you(western PTB) want to do business with me, that is okay. but if you try to take over my business by manipulate my dogs to get to me, I just kill my old dogs! now, you get the message, and I will get my new dogs, and continue business with you. but you better watch out! discipline yourself!
who is this ¨ME/I¨? who will be the ¨new dogs¨?
Until a month ago, I really don´t know for sure, now, I think the final answer is very much closer.
IMHO, I don´t think the western PTB will be please for the answer
Let´s save it for a moment

Re: A Political Outlook of China
If you really want to know which way will China interact with the world in the 21st century. China HSR blueprint is the best portal to look into. Keep in mind, the WWI started from the very begining of German ambitious Rail plan ¨3B¨(Berlin-Istanbul-Baghdad)
