Former China's Chongqing Municipality Communist Party Secretary Bo Xilai pauses as he attends a plenary meeting of China's parliament, the National People's Congress, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing in this March 10, 2011 file photo.


Bo, once a rising star in China's leadership circles who had cultivated a following through his populist, quasi-Maoist policies, was jailed for life in September after a dramatic fall from grace that shook the ruling Communist Party.
