Beijing

Learn lessons, top court says

The Supreme People's Court said in its annual work report on Wednesday that Zhou Yongkang and Bo Xilai, two former high-level officials, broke laws and destroyed the solidarity of the Party. It asked every court to be clear on what the officials' mistakes were, and take them as a lesson. The report said Zhou, the former security chief, and Bo, the ex-Party chief of Chongqing, brought great damage to the country.
