【新唐人2012年8月7日訊】報導北京水災 《經濟觀察報》被查封
大陸知名財經週報《經濟觀察報》，因報導北京暴雨造成的傷亡而觸怒中共當局，8月6號被北京市文化局「掃黃打非辦」查封，北京市面上的《經濟觀察報》也被全面回收。
據《法國國際廣播電臺》報導，大陸業內人士透露，北京市文化局查封《經濟觀察報》的公開理由，卻是《經濟觀察報》異地辦報，屬於「非法出版物」。報導說，這次查封《經濟觀察報》，被認為是「選擇性執法」與政治報復。
一週前，《經濟觀察報》刊發的調查報導《房山不防》，揭露出北京大雨災害中受災最嚴重的北京房山區，在地方經濟驅動下，將「洩洪區」建成樓盤林立的新城，而導致河道淤塞，是致使災難加重的重要原因。
8月4號，《經濟觀察報》又以《北京暴雨失蹤者》為題，報導了房山區十渡鎮的三名不在官方名單上的失蹤者，對官方公布的77人死亡名單的準確性提出了挑戰。
谷開來案即將審判，中共對薄熙來案的處理再次引起關注。8月6號，日本媒體透露，中共拿下薄熙來的關鍵一票，是由習近平投出的。
據日本《朝日新聞》報導，一名黨內人士透露：在2月16號舉行的中共政治局常務委員會議上，中共高層針對10天前發生的重慶市副市長王立軍出走美國大使館事件，探討是否需要追究他的上級領導薄熙來的責任，常委的意見分成兩派：一派是胡錦濤、溫家寶、李克強、賀國強，他們4人堅持要追究。而另一派，與薄的後臺——前國家主席江澤民更為親近的吳邦國、賈慶林、李長春、周永康等4人，則堅持維護薄熙來。
報導說，這樣，最為關鍵的一票，就握在了被視為下屆中共主席的習近平手中。而剛剛結束與奧巴馬總統會談的習近平，站在了主張追究責任的一方。
傳當局瘋狂罰款 瀋陽全城罷市
大陸網上盛傳，瀋陽及其周邊城市最近兩天商舖全部關閉，商業停擺，氣氛恐怖，人心惶惶。有人抱怨，連出去理髮、買菜、修車、吃飯都沒有地方了。
據網友透露，這個局面是由於瀋陽當局對商家瘋狂罰款造成的，當地管理部門隨便說個理由就可以罰款數萬元。如賣牙籤沒有「木材採伐許可證」被罰3萬，理髮店梳子「有頭髮絲」被罰10萬，賣包子「不帶口罩」罰幾萬，連賣烤苞米的大爺都罰5千。
至於當局為甚麼突然這麼做，網上也眾說紛紜，有人說是因為中央財政缺錢了，分派給瀋陽10個億的籌款任務，有人說是因為開「打假」工作會議。但是，具體實情到底是甚麼？還有待瀋陽當局證實。
Economic Observer Newspaper Closed for Reporting
Beijing Flood
The Economic Observer newspaper in Mainland China
was closed by Beijing officials on Aug 6th , for reporting
the death toll of the Beijing rainstorm. Additionally all the
Economic Observer newspapers were collected from sellers.
Radio France Internationale reported that an insider revealed
the excuse of closing the Economic Observer is because
they set up another newspaper in another city as
it belonged to “illegal publications”.
The report said that this incident was considered as
political revenge and “selective enforcement”.
last week, the Economic Observer published an investigation
into Fangshan district in Beijing which suffered severe floods.
It revealed that the local authority built property on the flood
diversion zone, blocking the water and worsening the flood.
On Aug 4th, the Economic Observer reported that three
people were missing in Fangshan district but their names were excluded from the official name list.
The report highlighted questions of the accuracy about
official’s reported death toll of 77.
Japan media: Xi Jinping is the key person to remove Bo Xilai
Gu Kailai will be on trial soon, meanwhile the charges levied
on Bo Xilai will became a concern again.
On Aug 6th, Japanese media revealed that Xi Jinping was the
key person towards Bo’s removal.
Japan’s Asahi Shimbun newspaper reported that an insider
revealed a Politburo meeting was held on Feb 16th in which
high-level leaders discussed the Wang Lijun incident and
whether to pursue his boss Bo Xilai’s responsibilities.
They split into two groups: Hu Jintao,Wen Jiabao,
Li Keqiang and He Guoqiang wanted to pursue Bo;
Bo’s supporters, Wu Bangguo, Jia Qinglin, Li Changchun
and Zhou Yongkang who were close to Jiang Zemin are insisting on protecting Bo.
The report said that under this circumstance, Xi Jinping
had an important vote.
Xi had just finished meeting with the US president
Obama at that time, suggesting to pursue Bo’s responsibilities.
Rumors that Chinese authorities fine crazily and entire
Shenyang City goes on Strike
On Mainland websites, it is widely spread that recently,
stores in Shenyang and surrounding cities have all shut down and went on strike.
The atmosphere is quite gloomy and
everybody is in a panicky mode.
Some complain that there are no places to even get haircuts,
fix bikes or buy vegetables or food.
According to information leaked by netizens,
the current situation was caused by crazy fines posed on store owners by authorities in Shenyang.
Local authorities casually find excuses
to fine tens of thousands of yuan.
For example, without a wood cutting license,
a toothpick vendor was fined 30,000 RMB.
A barbershop was fined 10,000 RMB for
having hair on the comb.
A vendor who selling buns was fined
tens of thousands for not wearing a mask.
Even the old man who sells roasted corn
was fined 5,000.
There are many opinions online on
why the authorities are doing this.
Some say it is because the Ministry of Finance of
the People’s Republic of China lacks money,
hence allocating Shenyang the responsibility
to collect 100 million.
Some say it is because of the “fight counterfeiting”
work meetings.
However, the real story is yet to be confirmed.
