【新唐人2012年4月12日讯】中共中央10号宣布对薄熙来立案调查，官方媒体11号纷纷表态支持中央，而且还罕见的利用“群众表态”来制造舆论。不过这些报导里，只字不提薄熙来最大的后台——周永康，他是否因此能被撇清，还是将面临更大的政治风暴呢？
《人民日报》11号发表评论员文章， 就薄熙来事件表态支持中央。《解放军报》11号也全文刊登了这篇文章，值得注意的是，《北京日报》11号也发表呼应式的文章。
时事评论家、美国“乔治梅森大学”教授章天亮指出，《北京日报》利用群众表态来做舆论，只有“六四”之后和“镇压法轮功”刚开始的时候看到过，而之前在处理陈希同和陈良宇的贪腐事件时，中共都没有使用这一招。这说明，薄熙来的问题绝对不是一个刑事案件。
章天亮：“这个事情涉及的不是薄熙来一个人的事情，它可能涉及到整个薄熙来所代表的一个路线，同时的话，也涉及到薄熙来所代表的一个帮派，就是在法轮功迫害问题上欠下了血债的这一批人。所以说它为了保证，在清洗这批人的时候仍然能够维持一个表面的，平稳的过渡也好，或者怎么样也好，它才会有这么样的采访，就是要各界的群众来表态。”
《人民日报》的文章说，“王立军事件是一起在国内外造成恶劣影响的严重政治事件”，“薄熙来的行为严重违反了党的纪律。”而10号《新华社》的报导也说，“薄熙来同志涉嫌严重违纪”。
中共媒体目前为止只提及整个事件中薄熙来违反了党的纪律，并没有说是否涉及违反国家法律。唯一提到涉嫌犯罪的是《新华社》的报导，里面指称“薄谷开来、张晓军涉嫌故意杀人犯罪，已经移送司法机关。”
评论员文昭指出，这是胡温在所剩时间不多的情况下，为了推动事件进展而走出的一步。
文昭：“现在用谷开来刑事犯罪的名义，先把这个事提出来，然后把这个事情的进程整个往前推进一步。胡温手上还留有后手，他现在把薄熙来立案以后，王立军的事情他还没有说，暂时是捏着王立军的案子隐而不发，以保证了把这个案件的打击对像向高层推动这样一种可能。”
这两天，中共媒体的通报和评论里只字不提周永康，而是重复宣传要维护中央的决定。不过在薄熙来“严重违纪”成立后，政治局常委中唯一死挺薄熙来，又在胡锦涛出访期间大肆封网抓人的周永康，是否因为这两天名不见报，就能逃过即将到来的政治风暴呢？
章天亮认为，薄熙来被免除党内职务并接受调查，说明周永康已经失势，而周永康和薄熙来密谋搞掉习近平的“篡党夺权”行为，也可能因此受到处分。
章天亮：“凡是被扣上篡党夺权的帽子，这种事情在中共历史上从来没有好下场的，这种人。现在的话，在这个薄熙来事件上，其实两派已经摊牌了，一方如果不能够把另外一方搞死的话，就是搞到没有翻身余地的话，那么对方一旦翻过身来，这一派的话就很危险了。”
章天亮预测，目前周永康估计有两种策略。第一是假装认输，以维护党的政权为借口，让胡温停止追查下去。第二就是发动政变。而胡、温现在应该考虑的不是共产党存亡的问题，而是自己存亡的问题，避免被周永康捆绑着给共产党陪葬。

Chinese Mouthpiece Turning Against Bo Signals Political Turmoil Approaching
The CCP Central Committee announced the prosecution and
investigation against Bo Xilai on the 10th.
One after another, state official media expressed
their support for the CCP’s decision.
This wave of stance declaration is a rare form of
creating public opinion.
However, none of these statements mentioned Zhou Yongkang,
the real boss of Bo Xilai.
Could Zhou Yongkang distance himself from this case,
or could he be facing greater political turmoil?
People’s Daily published a commentator’s article on the 11th,
and declared their support to the Central CCP’s decision
to investigate Bo Xilai.
The full report of this article was also seen in the
Liberation Army Daily on the 11th.
Noteworthy is that on the 11th, Beijing Daily also published
an article that echoed People’s Daily’s article.
George Mason University Professor and commentator,
Zhang Tianliang, indicated that
Beijing Daily’s tactic to use public opinion to state their
position was only seen after the June 4th Massacre and at the very beginning of Falun Gong’s persecution.
Even when dealing with the corruption case of
Chen Xitong and Chen Liangyu, this tactic was not used.
This shows that Bo Xilai’s case is definitely
not a criminal case.
Zhang Tianliang: “This case involved more than Bo Xilai.
It might involve a political line represented by Bo Xilai,
or a gang represented by Bo Xilai, that is a group of people
who owe debts to the Falun Gong due to bloody persecution.
Therefore, in order to ensure a superficially smooth transition
during the cleansing,
they used an interview format to have the public express
their position through the article. “
People’s Daily stated, “Wang Lijun’s case is a serious political
incident that has adverse impact both at home and abroad,"
and, “Bo Xilai’s behavior is a serious violation of
party discipline."
Xinhua News Agency reported on the 10th, “Comrade
Bo Xilai is involved in a serious disciplinary offense."
So far, Chinese Communist media only mentioned Bo Xilai
violated the party discipline.
It did not say whether there was violation of national laws.
Only Xinhua News Agency reported an alleged crime by stating,
“Bo Gu Kailai (Bo‘s wife) and Zhang Xiaojun are suspected
of an intentional homicide offense and have been transferred to judicial organization."
The commentator Wen Zhao pointed out that this next step
of Hu and Wen is in order to push the progress of the case with little time left.
Wen Zhao: “Now they use Gu Kailai’s criminal offense as a
lead to push the progress forward.
Hu and Wen initiated Bo Xilai‘s prosecution and left Wang
Lijun’s case hidden and untold just to ensure they can push the target towards the high level."
For these two days, no official media mentioned Zhou
Yongkang, but instead repeatedly promoted the central CCP decision.
After Bo Xilai‘s serious disciplinary violation case
was established,
Zhou Yongkang was the only Political Bureau Standing
Committee who stood up for Bo Xilai,
and conducted massive website censorship and
arrest during Hu’s visit abroad.
Will Zhou Yongkang be able to escape the upcoming political
storm by being absent from media reports for these two days?
Zhang Tianliang believes the fact that Bo Xilai was removed
from party posts and is now being investigated indicates Zhou Yongkang‘s loss of power.
Zhou Yongkang and Bo Xilai could also be penalized for their
“intention to seize power” by plotting to overthrow Xi Jinping.
Zhang Tianliang: “Those who were labeled with “intention
to seize power" in CCP history always faced consequences.
In regards to Bo Xilai’s case,
the two factions have come to a showdown.
It will be a great danger to the faction which cannot burry
the other faction completely. “
Zhang Tianliang predicated that Zhou Yongkang
could be employing two strategies.
The first is to pretend to admit failure and allow
Hu and Wen to continue investigation in the name of safeguarding the CCP regime. The second is a coup.
Now, Hu and Wen should not be considering the survival
of the Communist Party,
but their own survival so that they won’t burry
themselves together with the CCP.
