Bo Xilai Supporter Sets Up China Party as Communist Leaders Meet

A Chinese academic and supporter of Bo Xilai set up a political party to push the ruling Communist Party to obey the country’s constitution, and made the ousted Politburo member its chairman.

Zhi Xian, which means supreme authority of the constitution, was founded on Nov. 6, three days before the country’s top Communist leaders started a four-day summit to map out a blueprint for economic and social reforms. Bo, who was sentenced in September to life in prison for bribery, abuse of power and embezzlement, has been named its “chairman for life,” said founder Wang Zheng.
