Bo Says School Paid by Scholarships, Never Drove a Ferrari

Bo Guagua, the son of ousted Chinese Politburo member Bo Xilai, said his education was funded by scholarships and his mother’s savings and denied ever driving a Ferrari as he sought to dispel speculation of an extravagant lifestyle supported by ill-gotten wealth.

In his first public comments since his father was removed and his mother arrested on suspicion of murder, the 24-year-old Harvard Kennedy School student defended his academic record and said he was “deeply concerned” by the events surrounding his family, which is at the center of China’s biggest political upheaval in more than two decades.
