The Chinese Security Service, Bo and the Brit may have had something in common. Bo's family dealt with the Brit for much longer than the 3 years and the dealings included funneling dirty money abroad, getting the young Guagua prepared for his future, and perhaps more than that which I do not dare to convey here. Bo's had the power, connections and people believe in him maybe as much as Wen. The reason why Bo's assistant Wang did not succeed in the US consulate may have to do with Bo's family's influence at home and abroad. The reason why they are "James Bonding" the situation in such a timely fashion is that if there's a justification for the murder and if there's a common knowledge other politicians are so wealthy as Wen too, Bo will not only escape any wrongdoing but also set the stage for his son to grap a leading role in China one day. Even the old Bo may have another shot at it.

The British Intelligence or Neil Heywood roles have been the same as they've ever been. Have a look at how many nations have the Brits colonized in past few centuries. I think there are no more than 20 nations worldwide they haven't invaded before. Assisting Bo to power in Beijing would've been a promising step towards another shot at a more modern way to interfere in sovereign nations' affairs.

Cheers and beers to justice
