【新唐人2014年09月12日訊】央視知名主持人芮成鋼，被帶走調查已經有兩個月。對於芮成鋼所涉及的案情和罪名，中共當局至今沒有對外公開。就在日前，中國社科院副研究員以實名認證的微博帳號發帖稱，芮成鋼涉及間諜案，案情「超乎想像的嚴重」，可能會面臨死刑。
9月8號，中國的傳統節日「中秋節」當天，微博實名認證為「社科院副研究員，中東、軍事、反恐問題專家」的「王國鄉」，在微博上發了一張附有芮成鋼照片的帖子。帖子中寫道：「在闔家團圓的日子裏，身陷囹圄的人作何感想？可能面臨死刑的芮代表，你搞那麼多錢，還當特務，腦子壞掉了吧。」
王國鄉在微博中還說：「他的事情不是一般的嚴重，是超乎想像的嚴重，如果不死刑，那只怕以後人人都去當叛徒。」
王國鄉的這條消息發佈後，很快獲得數千網友的回覆和轉發。
時事評論員唐靖遠：「芮成鋼涉及到間諜罪問題，這個應該是央視，也可以說是整個中共宣傳系統的大醜聞。因為芮成鋼他是作為黨喉舌的，所謂『愛國』的這樣一個代表性人物，名聲在外。結果被曝光出來，他實際上是幹著叛國、賣國的勾當。」
37歲的芮成鋼是安徽合肥人，畢業於中國外交學院國際經貿系，2003年起在央視任職。芮成鋼一方面以英語流利、年輕的形象受追捧；一方面以高調「愛國」的姿態，在多個國際場合上替中共發聲，獲得中共的吹捧。
2009年4月7號，芮成鋼在倫敦G20記者會上，狂妄自稱代表亞洲，代表世界，向美國總統歐巴馬提問。2011年9月，達沃斯論壇在大連開幕，當時的美國駐華大使駱家輝乘坐經濟艙參加會議，芮成鋼在主持時，對駱家輝進行一番調侃。被外界稱為「愛國賊」。
唐靖遠：「芮成鋼捲入到間諜案裡面，可以說是對中共洗腦體制的一個最生動的詮釋。我們可以看到在中共的洗腦體制下，一個人他會被扭曲到怎樣的程度。就是『愛國』和『叛國』是兩個極端的這樣一種表現，卻統一到一個人身上。」
因此，有網友質疑，如果這次間諜案成立的話，中共當局真的會判處芮成鋼死刑嗎？
大陸東南大學法學教授張讚寧：「在中國體制下，那要看甚麼情況，如果是觸犯了當局的潛規則，或是觸犯了當局的底線，那很可能會面臨死刑。如果是一般的間諜案，一般都不會判死刑。」
今年7月11號，芮成鋼被檢察院直接從央視帶走，當局並沒有透露帶走他的原因。但據內部人士透露，是涉嫌央視腐敗案。大陸微博也有爆料稱，芮成鋼除了經濟問題以外，還涉及為美國情報機構提供情報，是美國間諜，他還是某國際著名公司股東之一，但相關發帖隨後被刪除。
令人蹊蹺的是，這次間諜案消息發佈後，在新浪微博這個敏感地帶，如此敏感的信息卻沒有遭到刪除。
唐靖遠：「現在我們都能看到，習近平和江派在宣傳系統這個話語權的爭奪非常的激烈。習近平要從劉雲山的手裡收回話語控制權，如果公布像芮成鋼這樣的罪行，是個非常有力的武器。因為在宣傳系統，在劉雲山的直接監管之下，居然曝出這麼大的一個醜聞，這麼非常嚴重的一個案子。從這個角度上去看，微博爆料很有可能是類似一種放風測試。」
不過，王國鄉在與網友的互動中表示，中共當局可能會因為怕丟人，最後以反腐的名義了結芮成鋼間諜案。

Rui Chenggang: Facing Death Penalty Due to Espionage Involvement?
Famous CCTV host Rui Chenggang has been in detention
pending investigation for two months.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) authorities have not
yet released the specific details and the charges involved
in Rui’s case.
Recently, the real-name authentication microblogging
account of the Associate Researcher of the Chinese
Academy of Social Sciences said that Rui Chenggang
is involved in espionage.
His case is “unimaginably severe"
and he could face the death penalty.
On Sept. 8, which is China’s traditional Mid-Autumn Festival,
Wang Guoxiang, whose verified microblog title is, “Associate
Researcher at Academy of Social Sciences, counter-terrorism
expert and expert of Middle East and military,"
posted a short message with a photo of Rui Chenggang
on his microblog.
The message says, “In the days each family unites,
what could imprisoned people think?
Representative Rui might face the death penalty.
You have so much money, acted as a spy,
your mind might be broken?"
Wang Guoxiang also says on the microblog,
“His case is an unimaginably serious one
rather than ordinarily severe.
If the verdict is not the death penalty, then I’m afraid
everyone will want to become a traitor in the future."
After Wang Guoxiang’s message was made public, a few
thousand netizens soon replied and forwarded his posting.
Political commentator Tang Jingyuan:
“Rui Chenggang is involved in espionage.
This should be a big CCTV scandal,
and even of the Communist propaganda system.
As one representative figure of the CCP’s mouthpiece
and of the so-called “patriotism,"
Rui Chenggang has actually been exposed
to have committed treasonous and traitorous acts."
37-year-old Rui Chenggang from Hefei graduated
from the International Trade Department
of China Foreign Affairs University.
He has worked for CCTV since 2003.
On the one hand, Rui Chenggang became popular
because of his fluent English and young image.
On the other hand, he was touted by CCP official media
as the voice of the CCP on many international occasions
as well as his high-profile “patriotic" stance.
On April 7, 2009, at the G20 press conference in London,
arrogantly claiming to represent Asia and the world,
Rui Chenggang questioned United States President
Barack Obama.
In September 2011, at the closing ceremony
of the Davos Forum in Dalian, American ambassador
Gary Locke flew economy class to attend the meeting,
at which Rui Chenggang scoffed.
Rui Chenggang was then called a “patriotic thief."
Tang Jingyuan: “Rui Chenggang was involved in espionage,
and his case can be said to be of one of the vividest
interpretations of the CCP’s brainwashing system.
We can see in the CCP’s brainwashing system
what extent a person like him could be twisted.
That’s the manifestation of integrating two extremes
of “patriotism" and “treason" on Rui Chenggang."
Therefore, netizens questioned, if this espionage is true,
will the CCP authorities really sentence him to death?
Zhang Zanning, a Law professor of Southeast University
in Mainland China, says, “Under the Chinese regime,
the case depends on specific situations.
If it violates unspoken rules of the authorities
or violates the authority’s bottom line,
it is likely he will face the death penalty.
If it is a general spy case,
he will generally not be sentenced to death."
On July 11 of this year, Rui Chenggang was taken away
from CCTV by the Procuratorate staff.
The authorities did not disclose the reason
for his detention.
But according to insiders, he is suspected
of corruption inside CCTV.
Mainland microblogs also broke the news that
in addition to economic issues, Rui Chenggang is also
involved in providing information to United States
intelligence agencies, and he is an American spy.
He was one member of a well-known international company
of shareholders.
But the relevant post was subsequently deleted.
It is peculiar that after this espionage news was released
on Sina, such sensitive information has not been deleted.
Tang Jingyuan: “Now we can see that Xi Jingping
and Jiang Zemin’s faction intensely fight for control
over the right to speak among propaganda system.
Xi Jinping wants to take back control from Liu Yunshan
for the right to speak.
If the charges against Rui Chenggang are published,
this will become a very powerful weapon.
Such a big scandal, such a serious case occurred under
the direct supervision of Liu Yunshan.
From this point of view, microblogs exposing
the information is likely to be one kind of leaked test."
However, in the interaction with netizens, Wang Guoxiang
said Chinese authorities may fear shame,
and finally use the corruption charges
to end Rui Chenggang’s espionage case.
