High profile Chinese politician, Bo Xilai is sacked
Chinese State media has announced a major sacking within the ranks of the ruling Communist Party.
It says the party boss in the southwestern city of Chongqing - one of the five central cities of China - has been dismissed in a scandal involving his former police chief.
Bo Xilai was a high profile politician and had been tipped for a place later this year on China's most powerful body, the Standing Committee of the Politburo.
