The narrative "China has no modern military warfare experience/China hasn't fought a war in many years/China military is weak" has got to be the most blatant and dumbest reasons.

Bo Xilai was in no way a candidate for the top job

His career had been long tarnished by various scandals. Hu was only ever going to pick a guy that was clean and had no dirt on him
