【新唐人2013年01月10日訊】《南周》風波已經過去了一個多星期，在全世界媒體和大陸民眾紛紛聲援的局勢下，傳出中共省委書記胡春華出面親自調解《南周》風波。他提出了「不搞秋後算賬」等解決方案。不過，新聞界人士認為，中共現在是為了應付社會上支持《南周》的聲浪，應該會有一個秘密協議，但事後會不會秋後算帳還有待觀察。
《南方週末》新年獻詞遭竄改事件爆發後，支持《南周》的聲浪已經達到了高潮。世界各大主流媒體紛紛給予事件關注；美國國務院也發言支持《南方週末》捍衛媒體自由權；大陸各界人士連日來也自發的到《南方》報業集團門前，抗議中共當局的新聞審查制度，聲援和支持報社職工罷工。
針對「南周事件」事態的變化，《路透社》引述接近中共廣東省委人士的消息透露，胡春華親自介入「南周事件」引發的僵局，提供解決的方案是：報社員工結束罷工，恢復正常工作，這一週報紙照常出版；不搞秋後算賬。
不過，胡春華介入調解，同《南方週末》員工達成的協議，中共當局並沒有對外公布。美國中文雜誌《中國事務》總編伍凡認為，現在胡春華介入這件事情，可能做了一個不公開的秘密協定。
《中國事務》總編伍凡：「它現在是為了應付社會上的抗議—-社會上支持南方週末這個聲浪；甚至於美國國務院發表的講話；世界各國主要媒體都發表了評論、社論 。它在目前這種局勢下，共產黨是採取退一步，以後可能準備等時機成熟的時候再進兩步，這都有可能。」
香港《開放》雜誌編輯蔡詠梅：「南方週末這個事情很明顯，它如果不妥協的話，它們有兩種選擇一個鎮壓；另外一個就是，這個事件会進一步的…不鎮壓南週會越走越大，用它們的話說，就變成一個政治事件，所以它們肯定是，現在如果不鎮壓就是妥協。」
消息還說，胡春華暗示，中共廣東省委宣傳部部長庹震將下臺，但為了官方的面子，不會讓他立即離職。根據有關協議，《南方週末》主編黃燦也將被解職；《南方週末》的採編人員將返回工作崗位，週報也在週四（10號)按時出版。
但有消息指稱，採編人員原本要求在新一期出版的週報內容中，對這次事件作出解釋，例如對已刊出的「2000年前大禹治水」、「眾志成誠」等錯誤地方更正等，現在能否達成目標，仍然有變數。
有關「南周事件」後續的最新情況﹖《新唐人》採訪了《南周》記者。
《南周》記者：「我的電話是監控的。」
《新唐人》記者：「那就是不方便談是吧？」
《南周》記者：「對！」
伍凡提醒《南周》的媒體工作人員，不要相信共產黨，因為，即便胡春華想遵守協議，一旦形勢變化，上面命令他秋後算帳，胡春華也沒有辦法。因為他和中共是一個整體。伍凡說，共產黨是個機器，媒體歷來都要接受共產黨的管制。
伍凡：「對中共的承諾從來不相信，因為太多歷史經驗教訓了，太多太多了。今天說是白的，明天反過來可以說黑的，根本不認賬，歷史上太多了。至於這一次會不會秋後算帳，大家都等著瞧，都等著看。」
不過，在歷來中共管制新聞這麼艱難的情況下，《南方週末》的編輯們還能維持敢言作風，這令香港《開放》雜誌編輯蔡詠梅感佩，她說，《南周》的這批記者還是很勇敢的。
但伍凡說，現在社會上更大範圍的要求是言論自由、解散中宣部、走上憲政道路、甚至提出「解散共產黨」，這些都已經超過南周事件本身的問題，所以共產黨害怕，如果事件被擴大了，就更難收拾了。

Is a Secret Deal Behind Hu Chunhua’s Southern Weekend Stand-off Intervention?
The newly appointed Communist Party chief of
Guangdong province, Hu Chunhua, was reported to have diffused the Southern Weekend stand-off.
He proposed some solutions, including
no opportune punishment after the settlement.
It is believed a deal has been reached to cope with
public support of the Southern Weekend.
However, whether a grudge will be held
against it (the deal) remains to be seen.
Since the New Year message from the Southern Weekend
was tampered by the authorities,
public support to protest has reached a climax.
The world’s major mainstream media voiced their concern.
U.S. Department of State also issued a statement to support
Southern Weekend’s right to defend free media, and many
people also protest censorship and pay solidarity to support
the workers strike in front of the Southern Weekend Group.
Reuters reported that chief of Guangdong province,
Hu Chunhua, intervened in the Southern Weekend incident
with solutions such as end the strike and resume publishing,
and no grudge will be held by the authorities.
However, this reported solution by Hu Chunhua
was not publicized by the Chinese authorities.
China Affairs magazine editor Chris Wu believes that
a deal has been reached.
China Affairs editor Chris Wu:"The regime tries to deal
with the protest, the societal support, the U.S. State Department’s speech, and comments from the world media.
Under such a situation, the Communist regime
is only to take a step back and wait for an opportunity to leap forward two steps sometime later."
Hong Kong based Open Magazine editor Tsoi Wing Mui:
“It is very obvious that suppression will result if Southern Weekend incident is not resolved.
Also if this incident goes further, the Southern Weekend
incident will become a political issue.
Without suppression, it means compromise for sure."
It is also reported that Hu Chunhua has hinted that the
Guangdong Propaganda Minister, Tuo Zhen, will step down.
For the official to save face, he will not leave right away.
Also part of the deal is that Southern Weekend editor,
Huang Can, will be sacked, editorial staff will return to work, and publishing will be on time on Thursday, the 10th.
There are also other sources who alleged that
the editorial staff originally asked for an explanation
in the latest publishing and correction of mistakes
caused by the censorship.
However, whether this request will be realized
remains unknown.
New Tang Dynasty TV interviewed a reporter
of Southern Weekend for the latest info.
Southern Weekend reporter: “My phone is monitored."
New Tang Dynasty reporter: “It is not convenient for you
to talk?" Southern Weekend reporter: “No!"
Chris Wu Fan hopes to remind the Southern Weekend staff
not to believe the Communist Party.
Maybe Hu Chunhua will comply with the agreement.
But once the situation changes,
being part of the Communist Party,
Hu will only obey the order to punish those who are involved.
Chris Wu says that the Communist Party is a machine
that controls the media.
Chris Wu: “Do not ever trust Communist Party’s commitment.
There are too many lessons in history.
They will claim what’s white today is black tomorrow.
They never take their words seriously.
Whether or not there’ll be any retaliation later, we will see."
However, Hong Kong magazine Open editor, Tsoi Wing Mui,
admires editors of Southern Weekend for
their outspoken style under the harsh control of the regime. She praises their bravery.
Chris Wu says that people in China are now asking for freedom
of speech, dissolution of the Central Propaganda Department,
embarkment on the constitutional road, and even
the dissolution of the Communist Party.
These have a much wider impact than the
Southern Weekend incident.
The Communist regime fears that if this incident expands,
things will only get tougher for them to deal with.
