平西王 (Píngxīwáng): The King Who Pacified the West
This is a nickname for Bo Xilai, the former Politburo member and Party Secretary of Chongqing who was removed from his posts in March and April 2012 after his former police chief, Wang Lijun, attempted to defect to the United States, and his wife, Gu Kailai, became the subject of a murder investigation.

The historical “King Who Pacified the West,” Wu Sangui, betrayed the Ming Dynasty to usher in the Qing–only to betray the Qing later in his life.
