The article indicates that Bo Xilai is in confinement/ arrested in Beijiing and he, his wife and his son are not allowed to interact with anyone by the guards placed outside the mansion next to hutongs where Bo and his family have been confined.
The void of information has led to rumours of coups and assassination and even the Gobal Times, the mouthpiece of the CCP, baffled.
In an editorial on Thursday, the Global Times stated "The whole of China is waiting for the party to speak.....We hope they can come to a conclusion faster. The faster we hear an authoritative voice, the clearer society can be and the public can feel more secure."
Analysts have opined that it is still possible that Bo wil cut a deal and he will get some sinecure appointment of no consequence because he is a leader who still carries clout.
The Communists of China are in a quandary since Bo was projected as as no nonsense, red blooded Communist, he being the heir of the revolutionary traditions, who fought the Mafai and now suddenly, he has been disgraced and removed from his high position and arrested.

The internal dissensions and the power struggle seems to be thickening the plot!
