【新唐人2014年11月15日訊】中共成都軍區副司令楊金山，在中共18屆四中全會期間突然爆出被調查的消息。11月13號，中共黨媒對此事高調報導，楊金山下臺如此之快，可能有5種原因，而外界認為的幾位江派核心人物－－包括前中共軍委原副主席徐才厚、中共軍隊總後勤部原副部長谷俊山，還有原重慶市委書記薄熙來等人，都涉入其中。有評論認為，黨媒如此高調炒作楊金山的消息，意在前政法委書記周永康。
擁有中將軍銜的楊金山，是中共十八大後落馬的最高軍銜的現役軍人，在只有41名軍方委員的中央委員中，他是其中之一。
11月13號，中共喉舌《人民日報》主管的「環球人物」大篇幅報導，7月2號，還跟中共國防部部長常萬全外出訪問的楊金山，3個月後，突然被官方宣佈調查，原因卻只有兩個字－－「違紀」，楊金山快速被查的原因引起外界猜測。
「環球人物」報導例舉楊金山被查的5種可能原因中，包括了楊金山與薄熙來關係密切，非比尋常。楊金山還可能涉及從徐才厚手中買官，與徐才厚在貪腐方面也有著深度的聯繫和勾結。
另外，楊金山還涉及到谷俊山案。報導說，谷俊山此前批給西藏軍區一大筆款項，時任西藏軍區司令員的楊金山，當時拿出其中的一部分給谷俊山。而且楊金山還可能捲入了四川省軍區原政委葉萬勇等人的腐敗案。
評論人士認為，黨媒如此高調炒作，應該與徐才厚、谷俊山、薄熙來等三隻「死老虎」沒有關係，炒作的真實目的，是為江派的另一核心人物－－周永康蓋棺定論，以及捕捉其他「大老虎」鋪路。
時政評論員藍述：「楊金山被抓起來，很可能跟周永康等案子深入的去處理有一定的關係，因為周永康也曾經是四川省委書記，周永康的案子如果能夠繼續打開，對北京新一代的領導人深入的去調查江澤民的核心有很大的好處。」
報導在描述楊金山與薄熙來關係非比尋常時強調，楊金山1969年入伍後，從中共第14集團軍起家，2012年2月王立軍叛逃成都美領館時，薄熙來帶上重慶市黨政代表團，來到雲南14集團軍參觀。外界認為，薄熙來當時是在向習李當局展示實力。
14集團軍由薄熙來父親薄一波創立，駐守在雲南省，屬成都軍區管轄。
2011年11月，時任中共軍委主席胡錦濤外訪期間，時任重慶市委書記的薄熙來在重慶大搞軍事演習，成都軍區、西藏軍區的司令、政委紛紛到場，支持薄熙來，其中就有楊金山。
薄熙來倒臺後，有海外中文媒體稱，重慶市長黃奇帆，揭發薄熙來手中掌握著兩個集團軍，還許諾如果政變成功，會讓黃奇帆當總理。不過，這些在「環球人物」的報導中沒有提及。
時政評論員藍述：「所謂的政變，我從來不把它當回事。對於中共內部來說，所有的政治鬥爭都是你死我活的，贏了就不算政變，輸了就算政變。習李可能不會在政變上做太多的文章，他只是想把一些主要的跟政變有關的人，用反腐的形式把他們抓起來。」
7月中旬，中共軍委副主席許其亮在巡視成都軍區後，表態要「查一批人」。那麼，中共高層是否要像對待周永康案一樣，順籐摸瓜，在軍中來一次窩案大調查呢？
北京時政觀察人士華頗：「搞掉楊金山可能還要搞另外一些人，比如說14集團軍，成都軍區有些人還要落馬，中共這篇報導有所指，有所暗示的。」
從中共十八大換屆前後到中共四中全會前夕，在習近平主導下，短短兩年時間，中共軍中高級將領經歷了兩輪「大換血」。
十八大前，中共軍隊總部機關、大軍區、海、空、二炮等軍兵種，以及若干省軍區、集團軍、駐港部隊、軍事院校進行了大調整。而在處理徐才厚前後，中共七大軍區開始密集人事調動。據香港《大公網》披露，四中全會前夕，中共18個集團軍中，有6個集團軍發生變動，2個集團軍更換軍長。加上年初5個集團軍更換軍長，共有7個集團軍更換了軍長。4名軍政委也進行了調整。其中包括，第42集團軍副軍長王兵，由廣州軍區跨大軍區調到成都軍區，接任第14集團軍軍長。
外界認為，習近平是在對原中共黨魁江澤民在軍中的勢力，進行大清洗。

Chinese Communist Party Media Intensely Report on Yang Jinshan, Does This Point to Zhou Yongkang?
During the 4th Plenary meeting of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in late October, it was revealed that Chengdu Military Region deputy commander Yang Jinshan was being investigated. On Nov. 13, CCP propaganda media made high profile reports that Yang is stepping down for five reasons. But public opinion believes that several core figures of the Jiang faction are involved in the case. These include former Central Military Commission (CMC) deputy chairman Xu Caihou, former military General Logistics Department deputy director Gu Junshan, and former Chongqing City party secretary Bo Xilai. Comments are that the report about Yang points to former secretary of Politics and Law Commission Zhou Yongkang.
Yang Jinshan, a lieutenant general, is the highest level active duty military sacked after the 18th National Congress. He’s one of the 41 military members on the central committee.
On Nov. 13, Global People following People’s Daily did a long report about Yang who went with minister of Defense Chang Wanquan on a visiting trip on July 2 was suddenly under investigation three months later by the government. The reason for his investigation is “violation of discipline. “Yang’s investigation quickly attracted speculation.
The report listed 5 reasons for Yang’s investigation, Including Yang’s close tie with Bo Xilai. Yang is suspected to have bribed Xu Caihou to buy an official position, and colluded with Xu on corruption cases.
Yang is also involved in Gu Junshan’s case. The report says Gu gave a large amount of budget to Tibet Military Region. Yang, commander of the Tibet Military Region at the time gave a portion of the money to Gu. Gu is also suspected of corruption cases with former political commissar, Sichuan Military Region Ye Wanyong.
Comment says the CCP high profile report is not related to Xu, Gu, and Bo who are “dead tigers" now. The real purpose is to target Zhou Yongkang’s case, another core figure of the Jiang faction. It’s also to prepare for catching other “big tigers" in the future.
Lan Shu, political commentator, “Yang Jinshan’s arrest indicates further developments of the Zhou Yongkang case. Zhou was formerly party secretary of Sichuan Province. If Zhou’s case can develop more, it will help CCP leaders further investigate Jiang Zemin."
The report underlines the special relationship between Yang and Bo. Yang entered the army in 1969. He was then leader of the14th army group. When Wang Lijun fled to the US embassy in Feb. 2012, Bo visited the 14th army group with Chongqing representation. Public opinion believes that Xi was showing his power to Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang’s leadership.
Bo’s father Bo Yibo established the 14th army group, in Yunnan Province, controlled by the Chengdu military region.
When CMC Chairman Hu Jintao went overseas in Nov. 2011, Bo hosted a military drill in Chongqing. Commanders and political commissars from the Chengdu and Tibet military regions all came to support Bo. This included Yang Jinshan.
After Bo’s downfall, overseas Chinese media reported that Chongqing mayor Huang Qifan revealed that Bo promised to promote Huang to be prime minister if Bo’s coup went well. But the Global People’s report didn’t mention it.
Lan Shu, political commentator, “I never take the so-called coup seriously. Among all the political struggles inside the CCP, if you win, it’s not a coup; if you lose, it’s a coup. Xi and Li are not likely to make an issue of it. They just want to arrest the people related to the coup by using the method of the anti-corruption campaign."
After the inspection of the Chengdu Military region in July, CMC vice chairman Xu Qiliang stated that a group of people will be investigated. Will the CCP launch a big investigation to the military region like it did with Zhou Yongkang?
Hua Po, political commentator in Beijing, “After sacking Yang, others are likely to be sacked as well. For instance, more people in the 14th army group in the Chengdu Military region are going to fall. The CCP’s report gave a hint of it."
From the 18th National Congress to the eve of 4th plenary meeting of the CCP, there have been two large scale personnel change among high level military officers under Xi’s leadership in the short two years.
Before the 18th National Congress, there was a big staff change in the military headquarters office, sea and air, the Second Artillery and other military regions, as well as army groups and military academies. The seven military regions frequently changed staff before investigating Xu Caihou. According to Hong Kong media Takungpao, 6 out of 18 military groups changed personnel. Two military groups changed commanders, right before the 4th plenary meeting. Another 5 commanders of military groups and 4 army commissars were changed at the beginning of this year. Commander of Chengdu 14th army group Wang Jun, was moved from position of 42 army group deputy commander.
Public opinion believes that Xi is getting rid of Jiang’s power in the military through the personnel changes.
