General Guo Boxiong commemorative stone tablet removed

General Guo Boxiong commemorative stone tablet originally erected next to a pine tree already removed

[Bowen Exclusive News,Beijing Thursday June 11, 2015] There is more circumstantial evidence that Chinese Communist Party “big tiger” General Guo Boxiong is in trouble. There’s a “Generals’ Glade” on the peak of Laoshan Mountain on the China-Vietnam border. The two stone tablets originally erected there commemorating Generals Xu Caihou and Guo Boxiong have disappeared. This indicates that General Guo Boxiong likely faces the same fate as publicly purged former PLA General Xu Caihou.

Laoshan Mountain “General’s Glade” is situated on the north side of the square at the peak of the mountain. It marks the place where the Chinese defeated the Vietnamese army in 1984. Over the past 30 years, many high-ranking Chinese military officers have visited this spot to commemorate the victory and plant pine trees.

Until now, more than 150 generals have planted pine trees in the “Generals’ Glade.” The regime erects a stone tablet next to each planted tree, carving in stone the general’s name and the date of planting. These included then-vice chairmen of the Communist Party’s Central Military Commission Xu Caihou and Guo Boxiong. Guo Boxiong visited Laoshan Mountain on March 19, 2002.

Bowen News Service’s special correspondent learned that last July, not long after the regime publicly announced General Xu Caihou was under investigation, his stone tablet was removed. The pine tree he planted became “ownerless.” Recently, this agency’s correspondent again climbed Laoshan Mountain and was astonished to find that General Guo Boxiong’s stone tablet had also been removed, and his pine tree is likewise “ownerless.” This indirectly confirms that, although it still hasn’t been publicly announced, that General Guo is already under Communist Party investigation.

Laoshan Mountain is the highest peak on the border between China and Vietnam. In 1979 it was occupied by the Vietnamese military, and military fortifications were erected, constituting a serious threat to the safety and livelihoods of those living at the foot of the mountain. On April 28, 1984, the Chinese military reconquered Laoshan Mountain. The Chinese and Vietnamese militaries continued to have seesaw battles, both sides suffering heavy casualties. The Vietnamese side finally conceded, and the Chinese Communist Party Central Military Commission took the opportunity to send troops from the Nanjing Military Region, Jinan Military Region, Lanzhou Military Region, and Beijing Military Region to join the battle for Laoshan Mountain, to make up for the fact that they had not fought any military battles in so many years.
