【新唐人2013年12月06日訊】日前，北京通過非官方渠道，對海外媒體釋放關於中共前政治局常委，中央政法委書記周永康被中紀委拘捕的消息，罪名是貪污腐敗。目前這一消息還沒有得到中共當局的證實。本臺記者就此採訪了時事評論專家，下面來看看他們有甚麼看法。

12月4號，「英國廣播公司」《BBC》中文網引述消息說，中紀委書記王岐山在3號的政治局會議上，向政治局常委通報了對周永康的調查情況。中紀委決定對周永康的問題進行立案調查，對周的行動則實行比之前更加嚴密的監視。

目前，中共當局並沒有公開有關周永康被查的消息。

時事評論員邢天行：「雖然中共當局沒有明確的從它自己的媒體報導出來，但是這個事實應該是不錯的，因為周永康被拿下的消息，應該是中共當局有意通過其他的一些媒體，釋放出來的一個消息。」

《BBC》還引述《路透社》的消息報導說，周永康之子「周濱」已經回國，但行動受到控制，正在接受中紀委的問話。《路透社》採訪了三名不願透露身份的消息人士，三人都表示，「周濱」現在在北京郊區「被軟禁」，協助調查前國資委主任，原「中石油」董事長蔣潔敏的腐敗案。

林子旭：「周永康的兒子周斌直接被拿出來批判，這就是要動手的信號了。雖然周永康被拿下的消息，到目前為止還沒有被最後證實，但是從目前的情況來看，不會有甚麼太大的出入了，周永康被拿下，不論從哪個角度看都是必然的。」

不過，美國《大紀元》新聞網分析認為，抓捕周永康是中共高層有意放出來的消息，而且選在美國副總統拜登訪問北京的同時。

時事評論員 夏小強：「因為去年在習近平訪美時，是拜登向習近平透露了王立軍交給美國的資料，習近平是從拜登那裏得知，周永康和薄熙來政變謀反、以及暗殺他的信息。」

《大紀元》分析，拋出周永康被抓的消息，是中共領導人習近平針對中共官員的示警。但周永康被抓何時宣佈及如何宣佈，目前沒有達成共識。

邢天行：「因為周永康他背後牽扯到問題太大，主要是牽扯到曾慶紅和江澤民這兩個關鍵的政治局人物。薄熙來直接參與了政變，包括試圖謀殺習近平，這個背後的勢力就是周永康。另外，在周永康所涉及的所有的問題當中，他的罪行比薄熙來要更大，包括他在活摘法輪功學員器官這個問題上。」

時事評論員林子旭分析，動周永康，向上牽扯到前中共國家副主席曾慶紅、和前黨魁江澤民，向下會牽扯到難以計數的中共公、檢、法、司系統的大大小小官員，稍有不慎，中共這個體制就有可能崩盤，如果習近平不能控制好局面，周永康這些人鹹魚翻身都是有可能的。

時事評論員 林子旭：「但是，習近平又不得不出手，因為中共內部的權鬥從來都是你死我活的，如果習近平給周永康留下太多喘息空間，自己的處境就會越來越糟糕，周永康，包括他身後的曾慶紅、江澤民，為了保命可是甚麼事情都能幹得出來的。」

林子旭：「在這種情況下，習近平在穩固權力之後，就選擇了這種溫水煮青蛙，讓周永康一點點被蠶食最終被拿下的策略。在輿論上也是，大家看到了分階段的炒作，讓各界都做好周永康下臺的心理準備。」

周永康在去年中共十八大前交出所有權力後，形同「裸退」。《大紀元》分析，周永康之後的所有露面，都是為了平衡局勢，迫於政權的需要安排出來的。

十八大後，周永康的心腹、親信不斷的落馬，從四川省擴展到石油系統、政法系統，李春城、吳永文、郭永祥、蔣潔敏、李華林等都被調查﹔周永康家族的「錢袋子」和「大管家」——四川商人吳兵也被抓。習近平這一系列的動作被指敲山震虎，劍指周永康。

Taking Down the Tigers, Zhou Yongkang Under Investigation

In recent days, Beijing released news via unofficial channels

to overseas media about the Chinese Communist Party’s

Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI)

arresting Zhou Yongkang on graft charges.

Zhou is an ex-member of Standing Committee of the CCP’s

Political Bureau and the ex-Head of the Political and Legal

Affairs Committee (PLAC).

At present, the news has not been yet confirmed by the CCP.

One of our reporters interviewed current affairs commentators

on the issue.

Let’s see what they think about it.

Dec. 4th, BBC’s Chinese language website cited sources

who say that CCDI head Wang Qishan reported

the investigation progress on Zhou Yongkang to the Politburo

Standing Committee at their Dec. 3rd meeting.

The CCDI decided to make a formal case investigation

and monitor Zhou more strictly than before.

At present, CCP authorities have not

yet released news on Zhou’s investigation.

Xing Tianxing, current affairs commentator: “Though the CCP

didn’t definitively report the news on their own media,

but the fact should not be wrong.

It’s likely that the CCP intentionally used other media

to release news of Zhou’s arrest."

BBC cites the report from Reuters and says Zhou Bin,

Zhou Yongkang’s son, has returned China but his movements

are restricted and he’s being questioned by the CCDI.

Reuters interviewed three anonymous sources who all say

that Zhou Bin is now under house arrest in a Beijing suburb

so as to have him assist in investigating the

corruption case of Jiang Jiemin, former top regulator for

China’s state-owned enterprises and ex-chairman of

the China National Petroleum Corporation.

Lin Zixu, current affairs commentator: “Zhou Yongkang’s son

Zhou Bin was directly taken up for questioning,

which indicates a signal for taking action on Zhou.

Although official news of Zhou Yongkang’s arrest has not yet

been confirmed, based on the current situation,

there isn’t much uncertainty about it.

Zhou Yongkang’s arrest is inevitable from any viewpoint."

Still, US-based Epoch Times news website says high levels of

the CCP intentionally released the news of Zhou Yongkang’s

arrest at this time when U.S. Vice President Joe Biden

is visiting Beijing.

Xia Xiaoqiang, current affair commentator: “When Xi Jinping

visited the U.S. last year, it was Biden who disclosed

what information Wang Lijun submitted to the U.S.

Xi learned from Biden that Zhou Yongkang and Bo Xilai

planned to undertake a coup and assassinate Xi."

Epoch Times says the news of Zhou Yongkang’s arrest

is a warning from leader Xi Jinping to all CCP officials.

But there is currently no consensus as to when and how

the news of Zhou Yongkang’s arrest was released.

Xing Tianxing: “Because Zhou Yongkang is involved in

a very large issue which has to do with the key figures of the

CCP politburo.

Bo Xilai directly participated the coup,

including trying to kill Xi Jinping.

However, Bo’s supporting force is from Zhou Yongkang.

In addition, of all issues Zhou Yongkang has been involved in,

his crimes are more serious than Bo Xilai’s,

including organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners."

arresting Zhou Yongkang will involve ex-Vice President

Zeng Qinghong, and ex-President Jiang Zemin,

and numerous officials in the entire Public Security,

Procuratorial, Legal and Justice systems from the top down.

If there is any carelessness, the CCP regime might collapse;

if Xi Jinping cannot control the situation well,

it’s possible Zhou Yongkang and those implicated

could overturn the situation.

Lin Zixu: “However, Xi Jinping has to take action,

because the CCP’s internal power clash

is always a cutthroat battle.

If Xi Jinping leaves Zhou too much free space, then his situation

will become worse, whereas Zhou Yongkang and his supporters

Zeng Qinghong and Jiang Zemin may be willing to do

anything in order to survive."

Under such a circumstance, after Xi Jinping consolidates

his power, he chooses a ‘boiling frog’ strategy, which allows

him to slowly erode Zhou’s force and eventually arrest him.

In the public opinion, there’s been a phase of media hype,

which allows everyone to be mentally prepared for

Zhou’s final end."

After Zhou handed over all his power around

the 18th Conference of the CCP Central Committee,

he seems to “fully retire" without any reserved power.

The Epoch Times says that all of Zhou’s public appearances

after the conference are all arranged so as to balance

the situation and fulfill the need to maintain authority.

After the 18th Conference, the henchmen and trusted followers

of Zhou Yongkang fell in sequence, including Li Chuncheng,

Wu Yongwen, Guo Yongxiang, Jiang Jiemin and Li Hualin

in Sichuan Province, the State-Owned Petroleum system and

the PLAC.

Sichuan businessman Wu Bing, who was the money bag

and butler of Zhou’s family, was also arrested.

Such a series of actions taken by Xi are understood as

“knocking the mountain to terrify the tiger" and

the final goal is to punish Zhou Yongkang.
