New party boss of Chongqing demands banishment of "evil legacy" of Bo Xilai
Beijing
THE new leader of the south-western Chinese city of Chongqing has demanded officials banish the "evil legacy" of its former party chief Bo Xilai, state media said on Tuesday, a man jailed for life in 2013 after a dramatic corruption scandal.
Chen Miner was suddenly appointed Chongqing's Communist Party boss on Saturday, unceremoniously replacing Sun Zhengcai, who sources have told Reuters is now under investigation. The government has yet to comment on what is happening with Mr Sun.
