【新唐人2012年3月31日讯】台湾传媒披露，福建厦门“远华走私案”主犯赖昌星，29号在厦门中级法院出庭受审，这是赖昌星自去年七月从加拿大被引渡回国后第一次受审。“赖昌星案”涉及两岸三地官员、艺人以及情报部门一共数百人，被称为“世纪大案”，不过有意思的是，这么一个大案开庭，中国国内媒体却一律噤声。外界认为，这种不寻常的现象，折射出了目前中共高层博弈的动态。
据中共媒体早前放出的消息：九六年到九九年期间，“厦门远华公司”涉及走私二百五十亿元人民币，而且牵涉到中共中央及地方众多官员。
在这期间，习近平担任福建省委副书记，贺国强任省长，贾庆林在九四年至九六年期间是福建省委书记，同时期，他的妻子林幼芳担任福建省外贸集团党委书记，而赖昌星的“远华公司”是当时福建省最大的外贸公司。
不过这么一个“世纪大案”，首次开庭，中国却没有一家媒体报导，被网友称为“奇迹”。
《中国事务》主编伍凡认为，与“远华走私案”有关的贺国强和习近平已经靠拢胡温，贾庆林已经不起作用，现在要打的是“新四人帮”中的李长春，而在政治局常委中，李长春主管中共中央的宣传工作。
伍凡：“他拿这个东西可能要对新四人帮开刀，这就包括李长春。贾庆林、李长春、吴邦国、周永康，新四人帮，现在周永康出来了，贾庆林也差不多了，剩下就是李长春和吴邦国了，江泽民快完蛋了，江泽民下面的人都要开始一路路收拾了，这是一步棋。”
厦门有关人士30号说，赖昌星案将于4月4号前后开审，而且未必会在厦门受审。
伍凡：“要等到高层斗争结束以后，赖昌星案子才会结束， 他反正一天一天放一点，一天一天放一点，他并不是说，我今天审完马上就宣判，今天放后，在4月6后再审，还不在厦门，到时候在一个地方再拖一拖，反正是亮一下，警告你。”
据了解，赖昌星被关押在厦门期间，加拿大外交官定期以领事身份探视赖昌星。
国际时事评论员文昭分析，在共产党的惯例中，如果国外人物涉入国内案件的话，会被说成是干涉中国司法独立，而在赖昌星被引渡回国时，胡锦涛不仅答应加拿大官员可以定期探视，还可以参加对赖昌星的聆讯，这说明赖昌星在共产党的高层斗争中是很有份量的。
文昭：“在处理薄熙来这个案件过程中，江泽民派系的政治局常委贾庆林，他一直都没有什么明确态度，因为他跟厦门远华案牵扯很深，所以我估计胡温已经利用赖昌星这张牌，已经使得贾庆林噤声了，迫使他不对接下来的一些政治事件表达什么态度。”
去年12月30号，中共喉舌媒体《新华社》报导，赖昌星已经对涉嫌走私行贿犯罪事实供认不讳。案件也依法侦查终结。

Hearing of Lai Changxing Starts, Targeting the New Gang of Four
Taiwan media has revealed that the principal offender in the
Miamen “Yuanhua Smuggling case” Lai Changxing will stand trial at the Intermediate Court in Xiamen on March 29.
This will be the first time that Lai Changxing is tried
since his extradition from Canada last July.
This is a huge smuggling case which involves hundreds of
officials in mainland China, Taiwan, and Macau.
The interesting thing is, that for such a huge case,
all media in China are banned from reporting on it.
External analysts believe that this abnormal situation reflects
the current infighting among the CCP’s high level figures.
According to earlier reporting by CCP media, between 1996
and 1999, Xianmen Yuanghua Corporation is alleged to have
smuggled goods valued at 25 billion yuan ($3.97 billion USD).
The case involves CCP officials at various levels.
During this time period, Xin Jinping was Fujian province
deputy-secretary of the CCP and He Guoqiang was the governor.
Also, Jia Qinglin served as Fujian secretary of the CCP from
1994-1996 with his wife Lin Youfang as secretary of Fujian Provincial Foreign Trade Group.
Lai Changxing’s Huayuang Corp was the largest foreign
trade company at the time.
For a case this big, no mainland media have reported on the
first trial, this has puzzled netizens.
Chief Editor of China Affairs Wu Fan believes that, He Guoqiang and Xi Jinping who are involved in the case
are now on the side of Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao,
but Jia Qinglin no longer plays a role.
Right now, the Huangyuang smuggling case is being used
to target Li Changchun,
but Li is the member of the Politburo standing committee
in charge of propaganda and publicity.
Wu Fan, says “He is using this case to target the ‘new gang
of four’, which includes Jia Qinglin, Li Changchun, Wu Bangguo and Zhou Yongkang.
Now that Zhou Yongkang is out, Jia Qinglin is almost done.
Li Changchun and Wu Bangguo are left, Jiang Zemin is nearly done,
every one under Jiang Zemin will now be taken out.”
An insider in Xiamen spoke of the possibility that, Lai Changxing
will be tried on April 4, but that the trial might not be in Xiamen.
Wu Fan continues, “It will only be after the high level
fighting ends, that the Lai Changxing case will end.
He will let out a little bit day by day;
he won’t finish the trial today and immediately be sentenced.
After today, he will be tried again on April 6,
although not in Xiamen, it will drag on at a different place, show a little, and give out a warning.”
According to sources, while Lai Changxing was jailed in
Xiamen, Canadian diplomats periodically visited him.
International Affairs commentator Wen Zhao
has commented that, according to customs of the CCP,
usually if any foreign country is seen trying to get involved in
cases in mainland China it will be viewed as interfering with the Chinese legal system.
However, when Lai Changxing was extradited back to China,
Hu Jintao not only allowed Canadian diplomats to visit, but also allowed them to sit in at the hearing.
This shows that the Lai Changxing case is quite important for
the infighting among the CCP high level officials.
Wen Zhao tells us, “In dealing with the Bo Xilai case,
the Jiang faction Politburo standing committee member Jia Qinglin didn’t make any stance
because he is heavily involved in the Xiamen Yuanghua
smuggling case.
I suspected that Hu and Wen had used this card to control
Jia Qinglin, forcing Jia to stay quiet and not make any stance on the political issues that will emerge.”
On Dec 30 of last year, CCP media outlet Xinhua reported
that Lai Changxing had already confessed to the smuggling charges against him and
that the case will be investigated according to the law.
