【新唐人2012年9月13日訊】中共國家副主席習近平從9月1號最後一次露面至今，已經在公眾視野中消失了10天以上。據了解，目前全球媒體都在尋找習近平的蹤影，人們都在猜測，習近平身體是否還安康？此外，中共「十八大」在即，海外媒體紛紛質疑中共政權的穩定，這又讓中共陷入另一個尷尬的境地。
9月5號，本來應該和希拉里會晤的習近平臨時爽約，中共外交部對此沒有說明理由。而外交部發言人，在面對境外媒體連珠炮似的追問，支吾其詞，窘態畢露，更加引起人們對習近平無端消失的猜測。
車禍，背部受傷，遭到暗殺，心臟病發作，一時間各種揣測蜂擁而上。而另一方面，大陸微博上不僅刪掉有關習近平的消息，就連搜索「背傷」這個詞，也成了新浪微博的敏感詞。
時事評論員夏小強表示，中共官方沒有給出任何明確的，可以打消外界猜測的說法，這是造成各種猜測的一個原因，此外，之所以鬧出如此大的烏龍，就是因為中共領導人的健康問題屬於絕密，人們只能從醫院外面車輛的異常變動和是否露面來做一些猜測。
時事評論員 夏小強：「中共官方在回應外界對習近平的詢問時，有一點值得關注。在面對外媒的直接追問，習近平是否因為受傷或者發生意外而缺席，外交部發言人洪磊只是輕描淡寫回答，他說有關問題他沒有新的補充『我沒有訊息向你報告』如果習近平沒事，外交部的回答應該是：他們很好，他們沒有遭遇車禍。從這個角度來講，比較大的可能是習近平遇到了大麻煩。」
英國《金融時報》頭版報導，習近平從公眾視線中消失，成了不解之謎。《每日電訊報》也報導說，9天來可能被任命為下屆中國最高領導人的習近平，從公眾視線中消失。
台灣《中央社》則認為 ，這種事情在中國是十分罕見的。自從周恩來時代開始，中國外交界就一直奉行「外交無小事」箴言，一般涉外工作「無小事」，那麼，高層的外交活動就更是大事中的大事。
美國《紐約時報》報導，引述一位消息靈通的北京政治分析家的話說，他被告知，59歲的習近平遭遇輕度心臟病發作。
時事評論員任百鳴表示，習近平被立為「王儲」，是江胡權鬥的政治妥協產物，所以習近平的一舉一動，都伴隨著江胡激烈的內鬥，影響著中國今後的政治走向。
時事評論員 任百鳴：「（習近平）他的政治取向，實際上是對中國政治的格局，以及未來的走向，都起到了相當至關重要的作用，從薄熙來事件出來以後，習近平基本上和胡溫進行了聯手，江派的勢力大幅被排擠，習近平他現在個人的身體情況，實際上是對中國政局是有相當大的影響的。」
夏小強分析，江繫在海外不斷放風，製造事端，為達到使「十八大」的權力交接延遲，暫時保住他們的政治生命，再藉機發動政變奪權。
夏小強：「如果習近平發生意外不能順利接班，這將是江派勢力最希望看到的事情。隨著十八大的臨近，如果習近平接下來不能夠正常的出現在公眾的視野，那麼。中共原本由習近平接班的計劃和形成的這種平衡將被打破，這對中共的衝擊力將是巨大，所以可以預見，未來的中共和中國都面臨著一場巨變。」
中共政權在「十八大」之前的這場接班混亂，也讓國際媒體質疑，中共政權的穩定。
分析指出，在中共「十八大」召開之前，中南海政權交接的關鍵時刻，中共當局只要不交代習近平行蹤，國際社會對於中共結構穩定的懷疑，就只會越來越大。

Questioning the Whereabouts of Xi Jinping—Is Xi Healthy?
Since his last public appearance on September 1, China’s
Vice President, Xi Jinping, has been missing from public view
for more than 10 days, with all media currently looking for
Xi Jinping’s whereabouts—all are guessing, is Xi Jinping well?
In addition, the Chinese Communist Party(CCP)’s 18th
National People’s Congress (NPC) is just around the corner,
and overseas media are questioning the stability of the CCP,
putting the regime in another awkward position.
On September 5, Xi Jinping cancelled his meeting with
U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton,
but the Chinese Foreign Ministry did not explain the reasons.
The spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs dodged
facing a bombardment of questions from foreign media.
His embarrassment aroused even more speculation on
Xi Jinping’s sudden disappearance.
All kinds of speculations are swarming, such as: Xi has had
a car accident; has suffered a back injury or a heart attack;
there’s been an assassination attempt; etc.
Meanwhile, on Chinese microblogs all information about
Xi Jinping has been deleted—even the words “back injury" have become ‘sensitive’on Sina microblog.
Xia Xiaojiang, a political commentator, says China’s officials
did not give any clear account to dispel outside speculations,
which is one reason why all kinds of rumors have sprung up.
In addition, because CCP leaders’ health problems are
treated as top-secret, people can only guess from spotting
abnormal movements of vehicles outside the hospital,
and linking it with whether Xi has appeared in public or not.
[Xia Xiaoqiang]: “One point needs attention: how China’s
official responded to the outside inquiry on Xi Jinping.
When media reporters asked if Xi missed the meeting due to
being injured, Hong Lei, the spokesman for the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, did not give a clear answer or give updates,
saying, “I have no news to report."
If Xi is ok, Hong Lei should answer that they’re all very well,
and no car accidents happened—from this point of view,
it’s very possible that Xi is in big trouble."
British Financial Times’front page covered on Xi Jinping’s
disappearance becoming a mystery.
The Daily Telegraph reported that the possible next supreme
Leader, Xi Jinping, had disappeared from public for 9 days.
Taiwan’s Central News Agency says, this is very rare in China;
since Zhou Enlai the Chinese diplomatic community has been
pursuing the motto: ‘Nothing’s trivial in diplomatic relations’.
General foreign affairs are not trivial things to them,
and high-level diplomatic activities are even more important.
New York Times reported that, an informant and political
analyst in Beijing had said that, 59-year-old Xi Jinping had suffered a mild heart attack.
Ren Baiming, a political commentator, says Xi Jinping was
to be the successor as the next generation leader,
which is a compromise of Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao’s infighting.
So Xi Jinping’s activities all accompanied Jiang and Hu’s
infighting, influencing the future political direction in China.
[Ren Baiming]: “Xi’s political orientation has played a
vital role in China’s political patterns and future directions.
Since the Bo Xilai events came out, Xi Jinping basically
teamed up with Hu and Wen, and Jiang’s faction forces were significantly reduced;
Xi Jinping’s personal health has
a great impact on Chinese politics."
Xia Xiaoqiang analyzes that, Jiang’s faction constantly release
news overseas and make trouble in order to delay the power transition in the 18th NPC,
and sustain their political life— Jiang’s faction are aiming
for a future opportunity for a coup.
[Xia Xiaoqiang]: “If Xi Jinping had accidents and cannot be
the next leader, it is what Jiang’s faction want to see.
With the 18th NPC approaching, if Xi Jinping cannot return to
the public, the CCP’s original plan and balance will be all destroyed,
having a huge impact to the CCP—a great change
to the CCP and China is expected in the future."
The chaos before the 18th NPC caused international media
to question the stability of the CCP regime.
Analysts point out that, before the 18th NPC,
at this critical moment in power transitions,
if the CCP will not release Xi"s situation, then suspicion
in the international society will only increase.
