【新唐人2012年4月20日讯】自薄熙来夫妻遭中共当局调查后,他们在海外读书的儿子薄瓜瓜成为媒体追访的焦点。外界对薄瓜瓜的行踪众说纷纭,有说回国协助调查的﹔有说被扣中领馆的﹔而来自北京的消息声称,他现处中国,受到有关部门保护﹔但美国国务院发言人托纳却表示,薄瓜瓜仍在“哈佛大学”﹔也有说,薄瓜瓜在纽约处置薄家海外资产和账户,抢在被查缉前湮灭或转移贪腐罪证。
4月19号,有北京消息人士对总部设在香港的《苹果日报》说,薄瓜瓜现身处大陆,协助调查,下个月能不能回美国参加毕业礼,仍是未知数。
但18号,美国国务院发言人托纳在回答外界提问时则表示,美国政府曾对薄瓜瓜进行过调查,但据他了解,薄瓜瓜并没有遭到扣押,他目前仍然在“哈佛大学”。
4月12号《苹果日报》报导说,相信薄瓜瓜仍住在马萨诸塞州一幢七层高的公寓。有传闻指出,他已向美国移民局提出政治庇护,理由是回中国会被政敌谋杀,但消息并没有获得官方证实。
由于中共在公告中说,谷开来和薄瓜瓜母子,与被杀害的英国商人海伍德,过去关系良好,后来因为经济利益问题产生矛盾并不断激化,外界认为,海伍德案件可能需要薄瓜瓜协助调查。
大陆律师李天天:“他(薄瓜瓜)起码可以做为证人之一吧,黑帮要找他,共产党要找他,肯定也是想从他那儿再套点口供出来,就相当于王立军那时候和薄熙来把文强的儿子控制起来了一样,他甚至还可以作为一个法码、筹码。”
美国媒体报导,薄瓜瓜12号深夜被疑为联邦调查局(FBI)的人员从公寓带走,而《华尔街时报》16号报导说,薄瓜瓜几天前在私人保镳护送下离开了学校附近的公寓,但美国政府否认与FBI有关。
曾跟薄瓜瓜保持电邮联系的英国《泰晤士报》则表示,收到薄瓜瓜回复,说正集中精神准备大学期末考试。
《苹果日报》19号的报导说,近来有不少记者到哈佛寻找薄瓜瓜,公寓的门房、学校办公室、甚至中国餐馆都收到不少媒体的询问电话,有的甚至登门采访。
李天天律师分析,从这点也可看到中共权斗残忍,薄瓜瓜目前绝不是为了躲避公众视线,应该是怕受到人身威胁。
李天天:“中共它为了掌握主动权,它肯定要把薄瓜瓜这样的人控制起来,我觉得它肯定是这个目的。因为它不知道薄瓜瓜手里有什么资料,证据。薄熙来和王立军整文强的时候,文强的儿子自投罗网回国了,结果就被他们控制起来了。现在薄瓜瓜肯定他会变聪明吧,他也会接受文强儿子的经验,他要不躲起来就被别人控制了。”
现年24岁的薄瓜瓜,11岁开始到英国留学,曾入读著名私校哈罗公学、英国牛津大学。
有媒体指说,因为他成绩太差,后来经“国际公关”转读美国哈佛,院方拒绝评论薄瓜瓜每年达9万美元的学费与生活开支,而薄瓜瓜开法拉利及“左拥右抱”的花花公子作风也为人诟病。
《纽约时报》17号刊登文章评述薄瓜瓜,说他高调奢华的生活方式导致薄家“加速”垮台。
一直关注这场中共内讧发展的“中国和平民主联盟”主席唐柏桥指出,薄瓜瓜一切所为都是薄熙来一手造就的。
唐柏桥:“薄瓜瓜因为从小跟谷开来一起长大的,所以他完全就是一个纨绔子弟,享尽了一切薄熙来的特权,然后春风得意啊,然后从小就受到英国的哈罗公学上学,最好的私立学校。”
台北《中国时报》19号报导说,薄瓜瓜日前离开波士顿到了纽约市,与那里可信任的熟人会面,商量抢在被查缉前湮灭或转移薄家贪腐罪证,逃避将来中方追讨或美方冻结。据说,薄家在海外资产多的难以计算,有不少已移转到美国。

==================
Bo Gua Gua’s Disappearance Draws Speculation.
Since the communist authorities started the investigation
of Bo Xilai and his wife, their son Bo Gua Gua,
who attends university here in the U.S.,
has been the focus of media pursuit.
Speculation as to Bo Gua Gua’s whereabouts
have been rampant lately.
Some believe he has gone back to China, some believe that
he has been detained at the Chinese Consulate,
and information gained from Beijing claims that
he is currently protected by the authorities in China.
However, Mark Toner, a State Department spokesman said
that Bo Gua Gua is still at Harvard.
Other speculations say that Bo Gua Gua is in New York
attempting to dispose of Bo’s overseas accounts and assets
in an attempt to destroy any relevant evidence
before the investigation starts.
On April 19th, a source from Beijing told Hong Kong’s
Apple Daily that Bo Gua Gua is currently being investigated
in Mainland China and cannot return to the U.S. to
attend his graduation ceremony.
However, on April 18th, Mark Toner reported that the
U.S. government had investigated Bo Gua Gua,
but that he was not detained, and that he is still at Harvard.
On April 12th, Apple Daily reported that Bo Gua Gua lives
in a luxury 7 floor apartment building in Massachusetts.
Rumors have been reported that he has applied for asylum
via the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services
giving the reason of fear of possible assassination
by his father’s political opponents in China,
but the rumor has not been confirmed by U.S. officials.
According to CCP announcements, Gu Kailai and Bo Gua Gua
were on good terms with British businessman Neil Heywood,
but that there were conflicts over money issues,
it is possible that the investigation of Neil Heywood’s murder shall require Bo Gua Gua’s help.
Mainland Chinese lawyer Li Tian Tian said:
“He can at least be a witness.
The mafia is looking for him, the CCP is looking for him,
it must be that [they are] trying to pull some confession out of him [once they get a hold of him].
It is similar to when Wang Lijun and Bo Xilai had control
over Wen Qiang’s son.
(Bo Gua Gua) could even be used as a bargaining chip.”
Wall Street Journal reported on April 16th that Bo Gua Gua
left his apartment near Harvard University while escorted by private security guards.
Other media report says that these security guards may
have been FBI agents, but the U.S. government has denied any knowledge of this.
A U.K. Newspaper, The Times claims to have
received an email from Bo Gua Gua.
Apparently he is focusing on preparation for his final exams.
Apple Daily’s reports on April 19th said that many reporters have
searched for Bo Gua Gua at Harvard and at his apartment.
Quite a few Chinese restaurants have even received phone calls
and have given interviews with various media.
Chinese Lawyer Li Tian Tian believes that
this is a reflection of the CCP’s cruelty.
He thinks that Bo Gua Gua is not attempting to hide from
the public, but that he fears physical threat from the Chinese Communist Party.
Li Tian Tian: “In order to take the initiative in the investigation,
there is no doubt that the CCP wants to control Bo Gua Gua.
I think that must be their goal, because they don’t know what
kind of evidence and what materials Bo Gua Gua can obtain.
When Bo Xilai and Wang LiJun were trying to take
Wen Qiang down,
his son returned back to China and walked right into a trap,
as a result he was controlled by them (Bo and Wang).
[I think] that Bo Gua Gua will have learned from Wen Qiang’s
son’s experience, and will avoid being controlled.”
Now 24 years old, Bo Gua Gua studied abroad in England
at the age of 11 and studied at the prestigious private Harrow School and Oxford University.
Some medias have reported that due to his poor grades,
he then switched to studying Public Policy at Harvard.
No comments were made by Harvard administrators
concerning the $90,000 per year tuition and living expenses.
His luxurious and playboy lifestyle are criticized by some.
The New York Times published an article on April 16th titled
“Son’s Parties and Privilege Aggravate Fall of Elite Chinese Family”
Tang Baiqiao, the chairman of China Peaceful Democracy
United has been following the CCP’s infighting closely.
Tang says: “Because Bo Gua Gua has been raised by Gu Kailai,
he is completely a princeling, he has thoroughly enjoyed all of Bo Xilai’s special privileges,
and he is arrogant about the fact that he has received
an education from the best private schools.”
On the 19th, the China Times reported that Bo Gua Gua
had left Boston and had headed to New York
to meet with a friend in order to discuss the possibility of
relocating and destroying evidence before the investigation starts.
In order to dodge both the Chinese and American sides.
Reportedly, the Bo family has huge amounts of assets outside
China, and a majority of them have been moved to the U.S.
