"I don’t see any relationship between the handling of the Bo Xilai case and the Cultural Revolution – it is being handled in the way that all such matters have been handled, starting before the Cultural Revolution . Bo made crude attempts to generate a kind of Cultural Revolution -style personal charisma around himself by using methods reminiscent of Cultural Revolution methods, but it was superficial, cynical, and top-down, not bottom-up."
