Q: How long is a life sentence in China?

So Bo Xilai has just been given a life sentence for corruption. But how long is that? In many countries a life sentence is actually until you die, it is more like 15-20 years. Will he get out????

 

Also, what do we think his living conditions will be like? 

13 years 6 days ago in  General  - China

Long enough to find someone to be his body double so he can flee to Zurich, Switzerland with his money.

A life sentence in China is every year that is spent here - or so it seems!
