【新唐人2012年7月28日訊】原北京市長郭金龍在大雨過後請辭，卻陞官進了中共政治局，7月27號，也就是災害的第七天，郭金龍以「北京市委書記」身份，在房山區為暴雨災害死難者默哀。然而社會極大關注北京暴雨77人死亡事件，有猜測說北京市長的辭職，是轉移公眾視線，減輕對暴雨死人事件引發的民眾憤怒。
原北京市長郭金龍在大雨過後請辭，卻陞官進了中共政治局，7月27號，也就是災害的第七天，郭金龍以「北京市委書記」身份，在房山區為暴雨災害死難者默哀。然而社會極大關注北京暴雨77人死亡事件，有猜測說北京市長的辭職，是轉移公眾視線，減輕對暴雨死人事件引發的民眾憤怒。
北京市長郭金龍在暴雨四天之後辭職，引發各界猜測，究竟是及早抽身推諉責任，或者「引咎辭職」，還是所謂正常權力交接？
這起被網友稱為「三分天災、七分人禍」的北京暴雨死人事件，中共當局不顧民怨，不向負責官員問責，仍然按照既定陞遷方針辦理，讓郭金龍成為下屆政治局委員人選的「北京市委書記」。
北京退武軍人王衛平：「中國是一個神州嘛，它甚麼事情都神奇，你看世界各個地方，只有中國是兩套班子，納稅人要養一個黨，還要養一個政府，這個黨是領導一切的，中國這個仕途根據人來畫線，你只要是我的人，跟對了，你出多大的錯都沒事，而且即便是給免去這個地方的職務了，他過一段時間給你換一個地方，也許職務還更高。」
另外，針對北京暴雨傷亡數字受到各界質疑，市防汛抗旱指揮部舉行新聞發佈會，解釋有三個原因，第一，北京市發佈遇難者的統計資料力求準確和嚴謹。第二，北京在此次特大自然災害中全面受災，搜救面非常廣。第三，遇難者身份確認也需要經過反覆調查核實。
而中共新聞辦主任王惠也聲稱，經過SARS的考驗，北京市政府深深懂得透明的道理，相信在死傷數字上絕不會有隱瞞。
王衛平：「三大原因不能公布數字，這是中國特色，我們都覺得奇怪，這麼一個天災，他隱瞞這個數字幹甚麼， 今天統計死亡人數77人，數字上升了，那他為甚麼不把失蹤的人數報一報呢，通過這次北京的災害，它折射出來這個政府根本就不想這些老百姓，特別是中央的，你看北京遭這麼大的難，中央那幾個常委，沒有一個露面的。」
居民表示，在中國民眾微博都要實名制了，中共當局卻無法在第一時間公布遇難者人數，新聞播出的都是民眾讚揚政府的。
北京維權人士吳田麗：「他們說的都不可信，老百姓都不信，那個網站說市民高度讚揚政府怎麼樣，高度是誰啊？哪個市民讚揚了？一片罵聲，他說老百姓都在捐款，哪個老百姓在捐？現在還有捐的嗎？誰還捐？捐也不夠他們貪污的。」
同樣是災難，美國校園發生槍擊案，總統親臨現場，慰問每個受害者的家庭，全美降旗一週悼念死難者。反觀中國，北京暴雨死傷慘重，政府沒有人出來道歉，九位常委完全失聲，軍隊、武警沒有出來救援。
全球自由信息運動創辦人 張新宇：「養活了那麼多人搞宣傳，搞形象工程，所謂那些偉、光、正工程，他就搞表面的，包括地下那些東西，這次最大的問題就是地下工程，地下工程更好掩蓋，因為別人不知道，豆腐渣都在下面。」
《美聯社》報導， 這次水災，受災最嚴重的是房山區，當地民眾開始自己蒐集資料，統計死亡人數，雖然數字還沒公布，但一些網民說，光是房山地區，死亡人數超過3百人。

Flood Killed 77 in Beijing? The Former Mayor Entered Politburo
Guo Jinlong, the former Beijing mayor, resigned
after the flood,
but was promoted to be a member of the
Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) politburo.
On July 27, the seventh day after the flood, Guo Jinlong
mourned for the victims of the flood in Fangshan district as CCP Beijing secretary.
The CCP mouthpiece reported that the flood death toll
is 77, but society is concerned about this data
and speculates the reason for the mayor’s resignation
is to transfer public focus which may reduce public anger about the rescue job led by the government.
Guo Jinlong, the former Beijing mayor, resigned on the 4th
day after the heavy rain. It sparked public speculation.
People wonder, “is his resignation a trick by Guo Jinlong
to release himself of responsibility,
did he resigning in an effort to take responsibility,
or is this a routine power transfer?”
Netizens say this deadly flood is 30% natural
and 70% man made.
During the whole process, the CCP authority hasn’t
taken care of public grievances,
hasn’t asked the related officials to take responsibility,
but kept up with its promoting philosophy.
They promoted Guo Jinlong to be the CCP Beijing secretary
which is also a member of politburo in the next general.
Wang Weiping, a veteran: ”Look at the world,
only China has two systems.
The taxpayers need to feed the party, as well as pay
for the government. The party leads everything.
The party promotes officials based on faction affiliation,
which means, ‘I will promote you if you are my follower’.
It doesn’t matter whether you have done wrong.
Even if you are removed from one position due to bad
behavior, it will assign you another even higher position in another city.”
In addition, the death toll of the flood is in question.
Beijing Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters
organized a media conference to explain three factors behind the death toll, as follows.
1. The statistics of the death toll have to be accurate
and rigorous.
2. The disaster happened all around Beijing which means
the relieving area is big.
3. The victim’s identification needs to be twice verified.
Wang Hui, the director of CCP news office claimed that
after the experience of SARS, Beijing city government knows how important transparency is.
He believes that Beijing city government will not lie about
the death toll.
Wang Weiping: “(These are) three reasons why
the government can not publish accurate data.
This is (related to) the Chinese character.
We feel very strange when the flood is a natural disaster,
the CCP hides the death toll.
CCP reported 77 died today,
but will give you an increased number tomorrow.
Why hasn’t the CCP reported the number of missing people?
The flood reflects that the government, especially the central
government, doesn』t take care of the people.
See how big the flood is! But none of politburo standing
committee members showed out.”
Beijing residents remark that the CCP government controls
microblogs, and users must be registered with their real names,
but it couldn』t deliver the death toll the first time.
All the news broadcasts praise the government.
Wu Tianli, a Beijing human rights’ activist: ”All the words
by media are untrusted. People don’t believe it.
The website reported residents highly praised government.
Who praised it? All the people condemn the government.
It’s reported that the people are donating.
Who is donating? Is there donation now?
All the donation will be used for corruption by the officials.”
A disaster took place on a U.S. campus. The U.S. president went
to the site and gave condolences to the families of each victim.
The whole nation is lowering the flag for one week to mourn
the victims.
In China, the disaster killed many,
but no government officials went out for acknowledgement.
All 9 members of the politburo standing committee said nothing.
Nobody from the military or security went out to rescue.
Zhang Xinyu, founder of Global Information Freedom
Movement: ”The country feeds so many people
to participate in the propaganda, to engage in advocacy,
in order to create the image of Great, Bright and Correct.
CCP only takes cares about the surface and dark things.
The biggest problem in this flood is the sewer system.
The sewer system is easy to hide from the public.
People don’t know it’s as a jerry-built project.”
The Associated Press reported that the Fangshan district
is the worst hit area in this flood.
The local people are collecting data themselves,
including the death toll.
So far, the statistics aren’t complete, however, netizens
say the death toll is more than 300 in Fangshan district.
