  Gu Kailai, the wife of disgraced Chinese politician Bo Xilai is being tried today for the murder of British businessman Neil Heywood. For unknown reasons, the Chinese press referred to her as Bo-Gu Kailai, an unusual form of address for Chinese women and suggests that she might have acquired foreign citizenshop or PR:

  "Calling Ms. Gu Ms. Bogu, in other words, may be a hint that she, despite being married to a member of the Politburo, also holds some other form of identification besides her mainland Chinese one, like a foreign residency permit or a passport. Jiang Weiping, a Chinese journalist who now lives in Canada, said Wednesday night that Ms. Gu once had a residency permit for Singapore."
