【新唐人2014年08月04日訊】拿下周永康是中共反腐運動的一個高潮。但是中共媒體堅決表示，調查周永康不標誌著「反腐運動的結束」。在宣佈周永康被調查的第二天，中紀委就派出陣容強大的巡視組進駐上海，而上海是中共前任黨魁江澤民的權力大本營。北京政治學者指出，上海幫對現任黨魁習近平，是個很大的威脅，必須連根拔除。
英國《金融時報》7月31號報導，習近平的「打老虎運動」並沒有打到周永康為止，而是開始擴展到中國的商業首都、前中共領導人江澤民的老巢——上海。江澤民在1989年成為中共中央總書記之前，是上海市委書記，他和現在仍然掌有很大實權的手下們被稱為「上海幫」。
《金融時報》引述中共高層內部消息人士的話報導說，習近平對於江澤民在中共黨內和軍中無所不在的影響非常不滿。
原中國人民大學政治系主任冷傑甫：「江澤民不是搗亂嗎？他退出歷史舞臺他不甘心失敗。他現在不支持他。而且還製造障礙。對反腐說長論短。甚麼別往下搞了，別搞到他頭上去了。曾慶紅還有江澤民的兒子兩個人都在搗亂，所以必須搞清楚。一個是曾慶紅、一個是江綿恆，這兩個人兩把刀子，這兩個人對習近平是個威脅。目前中央派巡視組到那裏去，意思就在這兒，挖根！連根拔除！不拔除不得安寧，不得安穩。」
冷傑甫估計，進駐上海的巡視組，可能會查出一些問題來。但是前中共國家副主席曾慶紅和江澤民的兒子江綿恆兩人，希望習近平網開一面。
冷傑甫：「周永康(案)把這個問題提到日程上來了，把上海的問題提到日程上來了。所以要清查周永康的問題，離不開曾慶紅，離不開江澤民。因為江澤民是主席，曾慶紅是副主席。周永康也是七大常委之一。所以要清查周永康，必然要清查上海，要把上海的問題搞清楚。」
在此之前，「打老虎運動」已經涉及了數個與江澤民有密切關係的官員。
《金融時報》文章指出，另一個最新的例子是「上海光明食品集團」前董事長王宗南，他涉嫌受賄和挪用公款，上週一已開始進行調查。
「上海光明食品集團」的前身，是上海「益民食品」一廠，而江澤民在1950年代曾是「益民食品」一廠的第一副廠長，之後，江澤民一直與這個集團保持密切的私人關係。外界把此案看作是對江澤民的一個明確警告。
日本東京的網上雜誌《外交家》8月1號報導說，作為中國的商業中心，上海可能是具有商業頭腦的公務員們中飽私囊的最佳地方。但是令人好奇的是，至今為止大範圍的反腐運動還沒有觸及上海。但這個情況將會發生改變。把上海作為新的焦點可能暗示，習近平將目光鎖定在一個比周永康更高的目標：前中共黨魁江澤民。
八十年代曾經在中共中央體改委任職的曹思源表示，他感覺上海肯定有很多問題，過去沒有暴露，但是現在看來有機會暴露了。
原中共中央體改委幹部曹思源：「過去封鎖的厲害。毫無疑問周永康是江澤民的人。周永康對上海也是有所保護的，保護他的老巢。現在周永康倒了，保護啊封鎖啊，就無效了，就有機會揭露他的本來面目。」
美國《華爾街日報》報導，過去在上海的反腐運動，曾經波及這個國家的政治結構。上一屆中共領導人胡錦濤在2006年派遣巡視組，到一家標誌性的上海酒店，在幾個月裡，他們通過一個大範圍腐敗調查，拆卸了當地領導層。這場運動撂倒了當時的上海市委書記、政治局委員陳良宇，並判處他18年徒刑。
《金融時報》報導說，中紀委派往上海的大型反腐調查組的負責人，是一名土生土長的北京人，而調查組是被中央直接派往上海的，可見這次任務的重要性。

Inspection Group Stationed in Shanghai: Xi Jiping Means to Uproot “Shanghai Gang"?
Taking down Zhou Yongkang is a climax
of the party＇s Anti-Corruption Campaign.
But state-run media firmly stated that
Zhou Yongkang is not the end of the campaign.
On the second day after the announcement of
Zhou Yongkang＇s investigation,
the CCP Central Commission for Discipline Inspection
sent an inspection team to Shanghai.
Shanghai is the stronghold of former president Jiang Zemin.
Scholar of Political Science from Beijing pointed out that
“Shanghai Gang" is a huge threat to the current party head
Xi Jinping, and has to be uprooted.
“Financial Times" reported on July 31 that
Xi Jinping＇s “anti-corruption campaign"
didn＇t end with Zhou Yongkang.
Instead, it’s about to be unleashed on Shanghai,
the country＇s commercial capital and
stronghold of former president Jiang Zemin.
Before Jiang was made president in 1989,
he was Communist Party boss of Shanghai and
his still-powerful faction is known as the “Shanghai Gang".
“Financial Times" cited some political insider that
Xi is incensed by Jiang＇s pervasive lingering influence
in both the party and the military.
Leng Jiefu, former director of Department of Political Science,
Renmin University of China:
“Hasn＇t Jiang been creating disturbances?
He is not willing to quit the stage.
He doesn＇t support anti-corruption but creates obstacles.
He also made various comments on the anti-corruption.
If the campaign continues, it＇ll be his turn to be raked up.
Zeng Qinghong and Jiang＇s two sons are all creating disturbances.
Zeng Qinghong and Jiang Mianheng are both threats to Xi Jinping.
Now the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection
has arrived in Shanghai.
It means that the roots of trouble have to be eradicated.
Otherwise, things can never be peaceful. “
Leng Jiefu estimated that the inspection group will probably
find something problematic over there.
But Zeng Qinghong and Jiang Mianheng might hope that
Xi Jinping can let them slip through the net.
Leng Jiefu: “Zhou Yongkang＇s case has pushed
Shanghai＇s problems onto the agenda.
In order to investigate Zhou Yongkang,
Zeng Qinghong and Jiang Zemin have to be touched.
Jiang Zemin was Chairman and Zeng Qinghong was Vice Chairman.
Zhou Yongkang was one of the 7 members of Standing Committee.
In order to investigate Zhou Yongkang completely,
Shanghai has to be investigated too.
It＇s time to straighten things up in Shanghai."
Earlier anti-corruption investigations have already targeted
several people with close ties to Jiang Zemin.
“Financial Times" gave a most recent example.
Wang Zongnan, former chairman of Bright Food Co,
is suspected of accepting bribes and embezzling public funds
and has been investigated since last Monday.
The predecessor company of “Shanghai Bright Food Co"
was called “Shanghai Yimin Food 1st Factory".
Jiang Zemin worked at “Yimin Food" in the early 1950s and
has maintained a close personal connection with it ever since.
The investigation is being seen as a clear warning to Mr Jiang.
On August 1 , The online Japanese magazine “The Diplomats"
reported that as China＇s commercial hub,
Shanghai might be the most natural place
for business-minded government workers to enrich themselves.
However, the wide-ranging anti-corruption campaign
has left Shanghai curiously untouched, which is about to change.
The new focus on Shanghai may indicate that Xi Jinping
has his sights set on an even higher target than Zhou Yongkang:
former president Jiang Zemin.
Cao Siyuan, who used to work in the party＇s
Central Reform Committee in 1980s,
feels that there are so many problems in Shanghai,
which haven＇t been exposesed before. Now it＇s the time.
Cao Siyuan: “In the past, information was severely censored.
Without doubt, Zhou Yongkang is part of Jiang＇s faction.
Zhou Yongkang also kept Shanghai untouched before.
Now Zhou falls down, protection or censorship
is not effective anymore.
It＇s a chance to reveal its true nature."

The Wall Street Journal reported that the past corruption
sweeping through Shanghai had rippled through
the nation＇s political structure.
Under China＇s previous administration,
then-President Hu Jintao in 2006
dispatched inspectors to a landmark city hotel where over
several months they all but dismantled the local leadership
in a wide-ranging corruption probe.
The effort toppled the party＇s then-top local official,
Politburo member Chen Liangyu,
who was later ordered to serve 18 years in prison on corruption charges.
“Financial Times" reported that the head of the inspection group
dispatched to Shanghai is a Beijing native.
The team was sent directly from the capital,
an indication of the seriousness of their mission.
