The words out of Beijing is that they started to realize that this thing can get out of control, threatening the communist regime itself. They are reportedly trying to reach a deal, between anti-Bo faction and the rest, to contain the fallout. I think they should for their own good. I think nobody in top leadership has enough power to single-handedly carry this purge to the end and prevail.
“Things are going to get out of control.”
Seems like real danger to me. Maybe our President can exert his masterful influence and calm things down a bit.
