【新唐人2013年11月07日訊】中共總書記習近平在三中全會召開前夕，突然到湖南湘西、長沙等地視察。不過，習並沒有繼承中共一般的規定動作，前往韶山「毛澤東故居」拜祭一番。習的「過毛門而不入」，惹起外界關注。請看報導。
11月3號，習近平前往地處武陵山區中心地帶的湘西土家族苗族自治州考察扶貧，親自到田裏摘柚子。那裏是中國最貧窮地區之一，習走進一家特困戶家庭，木屋四壁黝黑，屋裏唯一的「電器」是一盞節能燈。
第二天，習近平繞過「韶山」，趕往長沙，先後考察了一家電器集團和「中南大學重金屬污染防治技術研究中心」、和一家科技公司。
北京時政觀察人士華頗：「他不去毛的老家去參觀，就是怕貼上保守的標籤。因為過幾天就要召開三中全會，他必須談改革問題，所以他要換上一個改革派的外衣。這時候，要參觀毛的故居就不合時宜了。」
北京時政觀察人士華頗認為，習近平去貧窮的湘西自治州，是表現他要關注民生﹔去長沙參觀，表示他想發展科技，要轉變經濟發展模式。
香港《蘋果日報》指出，中共領導人前往湖南「韶山」，被外界認為是繼承中共正統的規定動作，如：1991年3月，江澤民以中共總書記、中央軍委主席身份，來到韶山祭毛﹔2003年，胡錦濤接任國家主席不久，也特地前往「韶山」拜祭。
《蘋果》揭示，習仲勛、習近平兩父子也是對韶山「感情深厚」。上世紀80年代改革開放初期，「非毛化」抬頭，習仲勛卻帶頭上「韶山」捍衞毛澤東。有資料顯示，習近平曾經三次上「韶山」拜毛，最近一次是2011年3月，他的身份是政治局常委、國家副主席。
今年7月，習近平到湖北視察，連夜參觀了毛在武漢的故居。習還特意叮囑湖北省委書記等人說：「今年是毛主席誕辰120週年，一定要把毛主席故居辦成愛國主義和革命傳統教育基地。」
實際上，習仲勛差一點被毛澤東以「利用小說進行反黨」這種最奇異的罪名整死，習近平15歲就被下放到農村，並在那裏呆了近7年。
中國學者、國務院農村發展研究中心前研究員姚監復對《德國之聲》指出，透過習近平在2011年參與編寫的《中國共產黨歷史》第二卷中，對「三大改造、反右派、文革中經濟發展」的肯定，及今年1月提出的「兩個不能否定」等可以佐證，習近平的路線，和中共前重慶市委書記薄熙來的路線，是一個路線，都是「毛澤東路線」。
外界指出，習近平這次出人意料的「過毛門而不入」應屬於權宜之計。因為這段時間，他將自由派整得夠慘，沒有必要再去「韶山」討好左派了。
中共當局近幾個月以來，抓捕異見人士、記者，打壓媒體等，都是近年所罕見。外媒還披露，中共最近號召「佔領新媒體陣地」、批判「來自西方的普世價值觀」等，都與習近平有關。
不過，也有評論認為，習近平這次去湖南，與他急於整肅前中共中央政法委書記周永康，和他控制的政法委系統有關。
時事評論員夏小強表示，每當中國將發生國際聚焦的大事前刻，湖南政法委就會爆出重大惡性事件：像李旺陽被殺、上訪媽媽唐慧的被勞教、民營企業家曾成傑被突然執行死刑，還有最近的《新快報》事件等。
時事評論員夏小強：「根本的原因是，（《新快報》記者）陳永洲揭發了中聯重科（公司）的財務黑幕，曝光了湖南政法委系統、周永康的嫡系，他們巨大貪腐的黑幕。」
夏小強認為，習近平去湖南的目地，就是解決周永康嫡系控制的政法系統。
10月31號，4架進出長沙的航班，又遇到了「詐彈」威脅。看來，湖南問題還真不一般。

Xi Jinping Visits Hunan But Shuns Mao’s Hometown?
While the Third Plenary is approaching, CCP leader Xi Jinping
pays a sudden visit to Hunan and Changsha.
Contrary to former leaders’ routine, Xi skips Mao Zedong’s
former residence, located in Shaoshan, Hunan.
Much speculation is going on and the following is our coverage.
November 3, Xi Jinping visited Tujia and Miao Autonomous
Prefecture located in Wuling Mountain of Hunan.
Xi went about and personally picked a pomelo in the field.
In this poorest region, one of many in China, Xi went into a
wooden home. The only electric item in the household is an
energy-saving lamp.
The next day, Xi Jinping bypassed Shaoshan and rushed to
Changsha, where he visited an electronic group, a pollution
control Research Center at Central South University, and
a technology company.
Hua Po, a Beijing political commentator: “He did not visit Mao’s
former residence for fear of being labeled a conservative.
In the Third Plenum he’ll be talking about reform which
requires him to cloak on as a reformist.
Visiting Mao’s former residence at this point would not be
appropriate."
Commentator Hua Po believes Xi Jinping’s visit to the poor
area is to show he cares about their livelihood, and his visit to
Changsha indicates his desire to develop technology for
economic transformation.
Hong Kong media Apple Daily reported that a visit to Shaoshan,
Hunan has been an inherent orthodox of the CCP leaders.
In March 1991, Jiang Zemin was there to pay tribute to Mao
Zedong as General Secretary of the CCP and Chairman of the
Central Military Commission;
2003, Hu Jintao also specifically visited Shaoshan shortly after
he became the Chinese President.
Apple Daily: Xi Jinping revealed his and his father’s deep
feelings for Shaoshan.
In the 1980s when reform and opening up were first initiated,
the non-Maoist rose, Xi Zhongxun actually defended Mao
Zedong by visiting Shaoshan three times to pay tribute to Mao.
His last visit was when he was the Politburo Standing
Committee & Vice-Chairman of the National People’s Congress.
In July this year, during Xi Jinping’s visit to Hubei Province,
Xi visited Mao’s former residence in Wuhan.
He specifically gave his instruction to Hubei provincial
party secretary:
“This year marks the 120th anniversary of Chairman Mao.
Mao’s former residence must become the
Patriotic Education and revolutionary Education Base."
In fact, Xi Jinping almost died in the name of “anti-CCP via
novels" by Mao Zedong.
At the age of 15, Xi was sent to the countryside,
where he stayed for nearly 7 years.
Yao Jianfu, former researcher of Rural Development Research
Center of the State Council told Deutsche Welle that:
Xi Jinping took part in the writing of the second volume of the
“Chinese Communist Party history" in 2011.
His affirmative recognition of the “three major reforms,
anti-rightist, economic development during the Cultural
Revolution" and his talk about “two no-denying" of the CCP
history can be corroborated that,
both Xi Jinping and the former Chongqing Party
Secretary Bo Xilai take the same political route, i.e.,
the Maoist route."
Xi Jinping’s unexpected by-pass of Mao’s former residence
is just an expediency.
He has done his job to regulate the liberals as the new leader,
he does not have to please the leftist by visiting Shaoshan
at this point.
Recently, the arresting and suppression of dissidents,
reporters, and the media have intensified to the highest
extent in recent years.
Foreign media have revealed that the CCP’s propaganda to
“occupy the new media battlefield" and “criticize Western
universal values" are associated with Xi Jinping.
However, there are also comments that Xi’s trip to Hunan
concerns his desire to purge Zhou Yongkang and his allies
in the Politics and Law Committee.
Political commentator Xia Xiaoqiang explains that whenever
there is an event of international focus in China, fatal incidents
would occur in Hunan Politics and Law Committee,
such as Li Wangyang was killed, petitioner Tang Hui was sent
to the labor camp, private entrepreneur Zheng Chengjie are
suddenly executed by death penalty, as well as the recent
New Express incident.
Xia Xiaoqiang, Political commentator: “The fundamental
reason is that Chen Yongzhou (New Express reporter) exposed
the financial secrets of the Zoomlion (company), and the massive
corruption involving the Politics and Law Committee of Hunan
and Zhou Yongkang and his descendant."
Xia Xiaoqiang believes Xi Jinping’s purpose was to resolve
Hunan political and law system controlled by Zhou Yongkang.
October 31, hoax bombs threat took place in four airplanes
in Changsha route. It seems Hunan really has some issues.
