China's Chongqing Municipality Communist Party Secretary Bo Xilai looks up as he attends the closing ceremony of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing in this March 13, 2012 file photo. Bo, the Communist Party boss of China's southwestern city of Chongqing, has been removed, state news agency Xinhua said on March 15, 2012, following a scandal involving a senior aide who took refuge in a U.S. diplomatic mission last month. Vice Premier Zhang Dejiang will replace Bo, Xinhua said in a brief report, and will also keep his vice premier portfolio. REUTERS/David Gray/Files
