Bo’s wife was convicted of [[murder]] of a British businessman in August 2012. Bo’s vice mayor was convicted of “bending the law for selfish ends, defection, abuse of power and bribe-taking” in September 2012. Days later, the Party Politburo expelled Bo from the Party’s ranks and announced that it was transferring his case to state judicial authorities. The Party investigation concluded that Bo “bore major responsibility” in the cases of his vice-mayor’s actions and his wife’s involvement in the murder, and alleged that he “took advantage of his office to seek profits for others and received huge bribes personally and through his family.” [[Social media]] brought the scandal to light, creating problems for existing leadership.</small></ref>

With 85 million dues-paying members, just over 6% of China’s population of 1.35 billion, the Communist Party of China (CPC) is the largest political party in the world (2013 data). The party is obsessed with stability. The government is constantly talking about 'stability maintenance' which is coded language for ensuring the party's rule. Since 2011 the Chinese government's Internal Security budget, which is also known as their Stability Maintenance budget, has been larger than their military budget. The Communist Party considers any threat to stability as a threat to their rule.
