【新唐人2012年2月15日讯】中共国家副主席习近平2月13号起对美国进行为期5天的访问，14号与美国总统奥巴马举行会晤。而就在习近平抵美当天，中共发布公诉“厦门远华走私案”主犯赖昌星的消息，使得牵连此案的习近平访美笼罩阴霾。
美国白宫14号为习近平举行了欢迎仪式，奥巴马总统与习近平举行首次正式会晤。前白宫国家安全委员会亚洲事务资深主任葛林(Michael Green)指出，习近平和奥巴马等美国官员有许多重要的双边、区域和全球议题要讨论，例如伊朗、朝鲜和国际经济问题等，不过解决具体问题并非习近平访美的目标。
习近平临行前接受《华盛顿邮报》采访，批评美国在亚太加强军事部署、强化军事同盟﹔并且表示，美国政府不应该因为人民币汇率和贸易摩擦而影响中美双边关系。白宫13号对此回应反驳。
奥巴马政府表示，美国决不会为了款待习近平而在重大问题上作出牺牲，不会避谈人权、言论和宗教自由，以及西藏和新疆的紧张局势。
最近，四川藏区发生军警开枪射杀多名藏人事件，引起国际社会谴责。13号，4百多名藏人在华盛顿中共驻美大使馆前举行示威，焚烧中共国旗，抗议当局在西藏采取的严厉镇压政策。
美国副总统拜登在习近平访美前夕会见了4名中国人权活动人士，对中国的人权倒退表示关切。
西方媒体在报导习近平访美时，提到2009年初，习近平访问墨西哥发表的演讲，习近平演讲中说：“有些吃饱了没事干的外国人，对我们的事情指手画脚。”这番言论曾经引起西方媒体的不满，认为没有政治家的风范。
习近平抵美当天，华盛顿《法轮大法佛学会》在美国《国家记者俱乐部》召开新闻发布会，要求中共停止迫害法轮功，法办迫害元凶江泽民等人，并希望美国政府公布王立军和美国领事馆谈话与迫害法轮功真相有关的内容。
《华尔街日报》指出，重庆副市长王立军投奔美领馆的政治丑闻，显示中共十八大习近平接班可能不顺利。而针对习近平访美，中共媒体出现了两种不同的声音。
13号，《人民网》发表文章声称“习近平今起访美 或定调未来10年中美关系的发展”。当天，《凤凰网》却转载人民日报社原总编辑李庄的文章说：“事先指定谁谁接班，是封建朝廷的做法”。
深圳独立学者朱建国表示，这是在对海外媒体称为“皇储”的习近平访美表达不满。
朱建国：“在习近平访美把它转载出来，那么就意味着国内的文化界、知识界甚至是老百姓都会认为，十八大还没有开，习近平访美的身份表面上是国家副主席，实际上是以已经确定的十八大中国的新领导人这么一个身份去的，那么这就显然是一种封建、延续封建王朝的那一套。”
就在习近平抵美当天，厦门市检察院突然对外公布：对“远华走私案”主犯赖昌星提起公诉。赖昌星手里握有江泽民派系人马的罪证，牵涉贾庆林、贺国强、习近平等人。其中，习近平曾在福建任职17年，官至福建省长。
外界分析指出，就在习近平接班不确定、希望通过访美获得美方认可加码的这个时刻，中共发布公诉赖昌星的消息，其中卷入3名政治局常委﹔再加上薄熙来、王立军相互火拼，显示中共高层全面内讧、出现分崩离析的前兆。

Xi Jinping is Met with Protests in the U.S.
The Chinese regime’s Vice President, Xi Jinping, began his
five day visit to the U.S. on Feb 13th and met with Obama on Feb 14th.
The day Xi Jinping arrived in the U.S, the Chinese regime
publicly prosecuted the main culprit behind the
“Macau Yuanhua smuggling case,” Lai Changxing, putting a
dark cloud over Xi Jinping’s visit to the U.S.
The U.S. White House held a welcome ceremony for Xin Jinping
on Feb 14th, and Obama officially met Xin Jinping for the first time.
Former senior director of White House National Security
Committee for Asian Affairs, Michael Green, pointed out that
Xin Jinping has many important bilateral, regional, and
global issues to discuss with Obama and other U.S. officials
such as Iran, North Korea, the world economy, and more.
However, solving these issues is not the goal of Xin Jinping’s visit.
Before the visit began, Xi Jinping accepted an interview
From the Washington Post,
in which he criticized the U.S. for increasing
its military deployment in Asia and fortifying alliances.
He also expressed that the U.S government should not let the
Renminbi exchange rate and trade issues affect its relationship with China.
The White House refuted these accusations on Feb 13th.
The Obama administration expressed that the U.S. will not
make sacrifices on major issues just to welcome Xi Jinping,
and will not shy away from discussing human rights, freedom
of speech and religion, and the conflicts in Tibet and Xinjiang.
Recently, military police in the Sichuan, Tibet region open fired
and killed many civilians, and were condemned by the international society.
On Feb 13th, 400+ Tibetans held protest in front of the
Chinese Embassy in Washington D.C.
They burned the Chinese flag and protested the Chinese
regime’s severe suppression in Tibet.
U.S. Vice President Joe Biden met with four Chinese human
rights activists before Xi Jinping’s visit and
expressed concern over China’s reversing human rights record.
Western media reported that during a speech by Xi Jinping
in early 2009 in Mexico, Xi Jinping said, “Some foreigners
who have nothing better to do keep getting into our business.”
The speech caused discontent among western media, and
some expressed that Xi Jinping lacks a politician’s character.
On the day Xi Jinping arrived in the U.S., The Washington
D.C. Falun Dafa Association held a press conference at
The National Press Club to demand that the Chinese regime
stop persecuting Falun Gong.
They also pushed for the punishment of Jiang Zemin and
others who are behind the persecution,
and urged the U.S government to publish the conversation with
Wang Lijun that is related to the persecution of Falun Gong.
The Wall Street Journal pointed out, Chongqing vice-major
Wang Lijun visit to the U.S consulate is major political scandal.
This shows Xi Jinping’s rise at the 18th Peoples Congress
might be in jeopardy.
Regarding Xi Jinping’s visit to the U.S., Chinese regime
media speak in two different voices.
On Feb 13th, Renmin Network wrote an article entitled, “Xi
Jinping visits the U.S., deciding U.S-China relation for the next 10 years.”
On the same day, Phoenix network published an article by
the former People’s Daily Chief Editor, Li Zhuang, in which
He wrote, “Deciding who rise into power beforehand is
the method of feudal dynasties.”
Shenzhen independent scholar Zhu Jianguo expressed that
the media is showing their discontent for Xi Jinping who is considered the “Crown Prince.”
Zhu Jianguo, “Xin Jinping visiting the U.S was published.
That means scholars, media, and common citizens will think
that the 18th people’s congress has not been held yet,
Xi Jinping is visiting the U.S as vice president on the surface,
but in reality he’s going as the new leader.
This obviously shows a continuation of the feudal dynasty
type of method.”
On the day Xi Jinping arrived in the U.S., Macau’s
procuratorate suddenly announced,
“publicly prosecute the main culprit behind the
“Macau Yuanhua smuggling case: Lai Changxing.”
Evidence suggests that Lai Changxing is behind the crimes of
Jiang Zemin supporters Jia Qinglin, He Guoqiang, Xi Jinping and others.
Among these, Xi Jinping was a official in Fujian for 17 years,
and was governor of Fujian.
External analysts point out, as Xi Jinping’s coronation is not sealed,
he hopes to gain the acceptance of the U.S at this crucial time.
The Chinese regime suddenly prosecuted Lai Changxing, a case
that involves three members of the Politburo Standing Committee.
In addition, Bo Xilai and Wang Lijun began fighting.
All this shows major conflicts among the regime’s central leadership,
a precursor to the disintegration of the communist party.
