【新唐人2013年01月04日訊】2013年元旦，13萬香港人上街，要求特首梁振英下臺，隊伍中也摻雜著少部分「力撐」梁振英的港人。中共喉舌《新華社》對這一遊行發出報導，並且罕見的兩度提及遊行隊伍的訴求——要「梁振英下臺」。分析認為，報導釋放兩種信號，一種是：可能中共當局考慮換下樑振英；另一種則是習近平上臺，媒體報導可以客觀一些。

1月1號晚間6點，《新華社》以《香港多個團體發起元旦遊行表達要求》為題，報導說，有數萬香港市民在元旦參加遊行，表達不同要求，而反對梁振英的和支持港府的各半。

《新華社》引述「民主人權陣線」的要求，報導說：「遊行者提出行政長官梁振英下臺、落實全民退休保障和捍衛言論自由等要求」。以及，「由人民力量主辦的遊行要求梁振英下臺」。

《新華社》罕見報導香港人抗議政府的遊行。這次不但報導，還兩度提及遊行隊伍「要求梁振英下臺」。

香港作家、自由撰稿人張成覺指出，有可能是中共新領導班子上臺後，為樹立新形象，開放了一點。

香港作家、自由撰稿人張成覺：「我認為這種情況，對中共並不是負面的東西，因為，中共既然說一國兩制，那麼香港就有遊行示威自由，有新聞自由，應該允許市民上街表達自己的意願。從大的方面說，這樣的事情對中共沒有壞處，反而你不報導好像氣量太小了，或者說太膽怯了，對自己沒有自信。」

香港《開放》雜誌編輯蔡詠梅指出，香港13萬人上街要求「梁振英下臺」，按照香港政府之前的說法，如果10萬人上街中央就會整頓，現在《新華社》罕見的進行報導，蔡詠梅說，香港各界都在解讀。

香港《開放》雜誌編輯蔡詠梅：「一個意思，一般普遍的解釋就說，是不是梁振英治理香港，北京都對他喪失信心，是不是中央會換人，所以才敢這樣講，直接講是不是倒梁，不信任他讓他下臺；還有的解釋：是不是說習近平上臺，等著他的政風，就是政治風氣要改，那麼媒體是不是就說報導客觀一點。」

這次遊行中，有團體到中聯辦示威，甚至打出了香港回歸前在英國治下的政府旗。但《新華社》報導中沒有提及，也沒有轉載，而且沒有英文版報導。

除此之外，報導宣稱，至少有6萬人上街「力挺」梁振英，但香港警方報告說，「撐梁振英」的遊行人數最高峰時有8千，規模遠不及呼籲「梁振英下臺」的反對聲。

蔡詠梅指出，當天遊行人數多達13萬，「挺梁振英」的不超過2千，其中一部分是社區親共的團體，和一些親中的學校強迫學生參加。另有中資機構的員工說：不去，老闆就炒魷魚。還有，據說，港府花錢請來社會閑雜人員。

蔡詠梅：「這個遊行裡面，有很多人實際上，現在媒體已經披露了，很多媒體還有電視臺的記者，就假裝是遊行的人，站進去，已經抓住他們遊行完了派錢，甚至找黑社會的人，去請黑社會的那些青年仔去遊行，然後遊行之前，每個人先打個手印，遊行完了，再到集體去領錢，一個人250塊錢。」

2012年12月底，有網友在臉書上揭髮香港「愛港力」組織出資，招兵買馬撐梁振英，每人200元。

而1號早上，以香港各界慶典委員會名義組織的「愛港之聲」聲稱，他們支持梁振英施政，發起「新年新希望元旦大遊行」。但是，幾個網路媒體記者混入他們的隊伍，證實了港府花錢請人「力挺」梁振英。

這次遊行過後，中共當局許諾：2017年，港人可以直接投票選舉香港特區政府首長；2020年，直接選舉香港立法會。但香港民主派懷疑這項承諾是一紙空文。

Xinhua News Agency Unusually Reports on 130,000 Strong Hong Kong Protest

Anchor:

On 2013 New Year’s Day, 130,000 Hong Kong people

protested on the streets, asked the Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying to step down.

On the streets, there was also a small group of Hong Kong

people who support Leung.

The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) mouthpiece

Xinhua News Agency reported this protest and

mentioned twice that the aspiration of the parade is

“asking Leung Chun-ying to step down”.

Analysts thought there are two sets of information :

one is that the CCP may want to replace Leung Chun-ying,

another is it wants the media looks more objective

after Xi Jinping’s taking power.

Reporter:

At 6pm on January 1, 2013, Xinhua News Agency published

“Several Hong Kong Groups Initiated a New Year’s Day Parade to Express their Demands”.

In which, it said that tens of thousands of Hong Kong people

paraded on New Year’s Day to express their demands

in which half were against Leung, and half

were supporters of Leung.

Xinhua News Agency quoted the “Civil Human Rights Front"

and reported:"Protests asked the Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying to step down,

That the authority implements the policies that protect

retirement for everybody, freedom of speech and so on.”

“the parade was organized by people power to ask

Leung to step down.”

It’s very rare that Xinhua News Agency reports Hong Kong

protests especially if it’s against the government.

This time, it reported and mentioned twice that

the parade “asked Leung Chun-ying to step down”.

Zhang Chengjue, a Hong Kong freelance writer said that

it’s maybe that the CCP new leadership wants to create a new image and to loosen its limitation a little bit.

Zhang Chengjue: “I think this case is not negative for the

CCP because it is always saying one country two systems .

This means Hong Kong has protest freedom, media freedom.

It should allow people to express their opinions in street.

From a higher point view, this case isn’t bad for CCP,

but would show CCP is too timid, or too scared, or lacking confidence it it didn’t report it.”

Tsoi Wing-mui, editor of Hong Kong Open Magazine said that

130,000 Hong Kong people took to the streets, and asked Leung Chun-ying to step down.

According to the former saying that if there’re more than

100,000 Hong Kong people protest on the street, CCP will rectify Hong Kong regime.

Now Xinhua reported it, Tsoi Wing-mui said all the groups of

Hong Kong are trying to understand the reason.

Tsoi Wing-mui: “There’s one meaning which can be

explained in asking whether Beijing has lost confidence in Leung Chun-ying?or whether the CCP wants to change him?

whether the reporting of anti-Leung feeling is

to allow him to step down?

Another explanation is that after Xi Jinping took office,

he wants to change the political style according to his own ideas ?

If this is the case, then the media

must report more objectively?”

In this parade, some groups protested in front of the

CCP Liaison Office, some even carried the colonial era flag.

But Xinhua didn’t mention this in either Chinese or

English reports, and neither was this information forwarded to related reports in other media.

Furthermore, Xinhua reported that there were at least

60,000 people supporting Leung in the parade,

but Hong Kong police said there were at most 8,000 people

supporting Leung, which is a smaller figure than for the anti- Leung group.

Tsoi Wing-mui pointed out there’re up to 130,000 people

joined the parade, but less than 2,000 of them support Leung.

The supporting teams are pro-CCP groups and some

students who were forced by pro-CCP schools.

There’re some employees of Chinese companies said that

they would lose their jobs if they didn’t go.

Some employees of Chinese companies said that

they would lose their jobs if they didn’t go.

Mean while, it is reported that the Hong Kong regime

hired people to support Leung in the parade.

Tsoi Wing-mui: “Inside the parade, as the media reported,

the TV reporters found that there were many people who received money after the parade.

They are even gang members .

Those young people were invited.

They made a handprint before the parade, and received

money at the end of the parade which was HK$250 each person.”

At the end of December 2012, netizens unveiled in facebook

that the Hong Kong “Love HK Force” organized and

hired people to support Leung Chun-ying and

paid them HK$200.

On the morning of January 1, the “Sound of Love HK”

which was founded by Hong Kong Celebration Committee

said that they were supporting Leung Chun-ying.

They would organize the “New Year New Hope Parade”.

Some media reporters paraded inside this team and found

that the Hong Kong regime had spent money to support Leung.

After the parade, the CCP authority promised that

Hong Kong people will have the right to vote directly for the Chief Executive in 2017.

They will also have the right to vote directly

for the Hong Kong Legislative Council in 2020.

But Hong Kong democrats doubted

this commitment as just empty words.
