Chinese image-makers race to contain scandal

From the NYT:
Chinese officials have rapidly intensified a propaganda campaign to paper over a
leadership split in the Communist Party on Thursday as the first hints began to emerge
of the wealth and influence amassed by relatives of a deposed Politburo member, Bo
Xilai.... The state news media also gave extensive coverage to anticorruption efforts
in the Chinese military, including an exhortation by President Hu Jintao to maintain
purity in the military ranks.... But another scholar of the leadership, Dorothy J.
Solinger of the University of California at Irvine, suggested that party officials
more likely are transmitting an order for underlings to fall in line and support the
dismantling of Mr. Bo’s political machine.
