Chongqing model is not free

Chongqing model is not free from environmental impact in the first place, The Three Gorges Project, which gave political autonomy to the municipality, is full of corruption stories and its environmental impact is well known. It has given biggest boost to the city's economy.

Second, leadership at the top wants stability. They see it as the most critical condition for the party's continuance in power and advancing of economic growth. It was clear that Bo Xilai was praising Mao just to get support from other princlings for the Politburo position.

Its all about power after all...
