Dlaczego jest Bo Guagua taki popularny w Chinach?

Bo Guagua is the son of Bo Xilai, former Chinese minister of commerce and current Secretary of CPC Chongqing Municipal Committee. Different from other "red children" of top Party officials who normally keep a low profile and a long distance from ordinary people, the 22-year-old guy has become the most exposed "red child" under the spotlight.

The good-looking and outstanding young man is studying at Oxford University. In May he won a special prize as one of the 10 most outstanding Chinese youngsters in Britain. Media are crazy about the guy, trying to find out everything related to him.

Bo's soaring popularity among the public is a mirror for China's openness, which has taken roots in every aspect of the society. The openness originated in China's economic policies and has swept into its politics, society and culture.

It is not like the past, when it was taboo to gossip about our leaders' children because of China's long history of enigmatic political culture.

Bo opens up a new chapter for "red descendents" of China's Party leaders to gradually take off their mysterious veil and resume their image as ordinary but lively people.
