BEIJING — The youngest son of Bo Xilai, the former Communist Party leader who is expected to be tried on a wide range of criminal charges, has released a statement defending his father as “upright in his beliefs and devoted to duty."
It was the most explicit public defense that Bo Guagua, 24, who graduated this year from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, has made since a sordid political scandal broke in the spring involving the entire Bo family. Bo is believed to be living in the U.S. while his father and mother have been under detention in Beijing.
