【新唐人2011年6月3日訊】《華爾街日報》亞洲版6月1號發表一篇評論，題目是「紅色魔影籠罩中國：隨著經濟和政治改革退卻，毛主義捲土重來。」文章分析了中共重新打出毛澤東旗號的背景和原因，指出在當前各種社會危機下，中共大力依賴黨內左派的老把戲來應付，促使民眾對共產黨徹底失望。
《華爾街日報》的這篇英文評論說：儘管警察大舉出動，內蒙古首府呼和浩特的抗議還在繼續。那裏的騷動跟2008年3月在西藏和2009年7月在新疆發生的類似。但這種現象不僅限於少數民族地區。清華大學的一位社會學家估計，去年中國各地發生18萬起大規模抗議。
評論指出：在中共統治圈內，承認共產黨與「群眾」已經分道揚鑣，已不再引起爭議。但是，如何應付解決這個問題，現在沒有明顯的共識，這導致黨內出現了分裂。目前的領導層正在大力依賴兩套老把戲：鎮壓和宣傳，這是黨內左派的拿手好戲。這可以解釋為甚麼新毛澤東主義在中國正時興。
胡星斗(北京理工大學經濟學教授)：「目前中國社會思想出現了巨大的分裂，這個分裂以如何評價毛澤東為標誌。工人，農民中、訪民中，他們紀念毛實際上並不是真正的紀念毛，而是表達對現實的不滿。領導人應當從中來了解民意，而不是轉向毛的體制。」
《華爾街日報》的評論說：左派的思想者真的是在努力把中共推向馬克思主義意識形態。一個毛派的網站最近登出一些提倡改革的著名人士的照片，那些人的脖子上都套著絞索。
5月29號，山西30多位毛派以「各界人民」的名義召開公訴大會，聲討著名經濟學家茅於軾和中共黨史學者辛子陵，以文革遺風，謾罵兩人是「漢奸、賣國賊」。
茅於軾4月27號在《財經網》，發表對辛子陵著作《紅太陽的隕落》的讀後感，歷數毛澤東的種種罪惡，包括「大躍進」餓死3千多萬人、中共建政後政治運動致使5千萬人死亡。茅於軾指出，毛澤東是一個十惡不赦的惡魔，在他眼中，人民只不過是一堆肉。
5月23號，左派網站《烏有之鄉》發表「北京市人民公訴書」，以「顛覆國家政權罪」向中共人大控告茅於軾和辛子陵，並附有萬人簽名，包括毛澤東的親屬，以及「左王」司馬南等人。
《華爾街日報》的評論還說：重慶市委書記薄熙來成為中共推行新宣傳的標兵。他發動的「唱紅打黑」運動，包括把幹部和學生發配到田間和工廠去，提倡公眾唱革命歌曲，用手機向居民發送毛澤東的語錄。
伍凡(《中國事務》主編)：「這一批人他們想要用毛澤東的一套做法，或者毛澤東的思路，來解決中國現在的問題，或者共產黨內的問題。能做到嗎？能不能解決中國現在的政治、經濟、文化、思想意識形態、道德墮落、環境污染等等所有的問題，能解決嗎？解決不了！他是欺騙自己，欺騙別人。」
《華爾街日報》的評論說：這些真正的毛派的言論令人不安，因為他們顯然是得到了高層一些人的首肯和保護。中共第二號人物吳邦國最近發表講話，攻擊私有制。4月底，下屆領導候選人習近平對中央黨校畢業生講話，要求運用馬列主義、毛澤東思想，解決當前的各種問題。
林和立(香港時政評論員)：「誰都知道中國目前奉行比較特殊的國家資本主義。可是，中國共產黨還是把自己定位成一個馬列主義的政黨，所以他們高掛這個牌子，作為一個武器來打擊反對的力量。」
《華爾街日報》的評論指出：黨內分裂的局面有可能打亂最高領導層明年權力交接的計劃。現在中共日益隨波逐流，隨時有可能跟人民發生對峙衝突，經濟和政治改革半途而廢，中共因恐懼而陷入癱瘓狀態，人民對黨和中央政府越來越失去希望。

Maoists Try To Return
On June 1, Wall Street Journal (WSJ) of Asia
published a commentary titled “Red Specter
Envelops China: With the Setback of Economic
and Political Reforms, the Maoists returns."
The article pointed out the background and cause
of the return of Maoists and the total despair
of Chinese people toward this old trick.
The article said, “Despite the massive police action
in Inner Mongolia and its capital Hohhot,
protests continue, similar to the 2008 Tibetan
and 2009 Xingjiang riots. The riots are not limited
to the ethnic minority.” A sociologist at Tsinghua
University estimated that 180,000 large-scale
protests occurred just last year.
The article pointed out: “High level officials agreed
that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
and the ‘masses’ have parted ways, but there is no
clear consensus as to how to deal with the problem.
The current leaders strongly depend on two sets
of old tricks: repression and propaganda.
This may explain why the new Maoists
are becoming fashionable again in China.”
Hu Xingdou (Economics Professor at Beijings’
Institute of Technology): “China’s current social idea
faces the issue of how to elevate Mao as a symbol.
Workers, farmers and petitioners are expressing
true dissatisfaction with Mao. Current leaders
must stay away from Mao’s regime.”
The commentary added: “Leftist thinkers really try
to push the CCP toward the Marxist ideology.
A Maoist website recently posted photos
of famous people, who promoted reform,
with a noose around their necks.”
On May 29, more than 30 Maoists in Shanxi
held a General Assembly, denouncing well-known
economist Mao Yushi and the CCP history scholar
Ling Xinzi, labeling them both as “traitors.”
After reading Xin Ziling’s “The Fall of the Red Sun”
Mao Yushi published his book review on April 27,
which lists all the wrongdoings of Mao, including
the death of over 80 million people from various
political campaigns. Mao Yushi pointed out
that Mao Zedong thought of people as being
nothing more than just a piece of meat.
On May 23, leftist website Utopia published
“Beijing People’s Indictment” of Mao Yushi
and Xin Ziling for subversion, accompanied
by thousands of signatures including Mao’s relatives
and the “Left King” Sima Nan.
The commentary also said: “Secretary of Chongqing
Bo Xilai, promoted “Sing Red Songs
and Fight Corruption” and sent cadres and students
to the fields and factories. In addition to singing
revolutionary songs publicly, one can also use
cell phones to send Mao’ quotes to local residents.”
Wu Fan, China Affairs’ editor-in-chief: “This group
of people wants to solve China’s problems
with Mao’s method or ideas. How can China’s
current politics, economy, culture, ideology,
moral degradation, environmental pollution
be solved this way? It is impossible.
They are deceiving themselves and others.”
The WSJ commentary also said: “These Maoist
remarks are disturbing, because they obviously
received approval and protection from a higher-level.
Wu Bangguo, ranked no. 2 in CCP, spoke recently
and attacked private ownership. In April, Xi Jinping,
candidate for the next leadership, spoke to graduates
of the Central Party School and required them
to use Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong ideas
to solve China’s current problems.
Lin Heli, Hong Kong Current Affairs commentator:
“Everyone knows that China is pursuing a special
state capitalism. However, CCP has positioned itself
as a Marxist-Leninist party, so they hang this sign
as a weapon to fight against the opposition force.”
The WSJ commentary pointed out: “Splitting from
the inside may disrupt the plan of power transferring
next year. CCP is drifting, it may have confrontation
with the masses at any time. Economic and political
reforms may collapse and people in China are feeling
more and more hopeless with the CCP.”
