【新唐人2013年01月04日讯】2013年元旦，13万香港人上街，要求特首梁振英下台，队伍中也掺杂着少部分“力撑”梁振英的港人。中共喉舌《新华社》对这一游行发出报导，并且罕见的两度提及游行队伍的诉求——要“梁振英下台”。分析认为，报导释放两种信号，一种是：可能中共当局考虑换下梁振英；另一种则是习近平上台，媒体报导可以客观一些。
1月1号晚间6点，《新华社》以《香港多个团体发起元旦游行表达要求》为题，报导说，有数万香港市民在元旦参加游行，表达不同要求，而反对梁振英的和支持港府的各半。
《新华社》引述“民主人权阵线”的要求，报导说：“游行者提出行政长官梁振英下台、落实全民退休保障和捍卫言论自由等要求”。以及，“由人民力量主办的游行要求梁振英下台”。
《新华社》罕见报导香港人抗议政府的游行。这次不但报导，还两度提及游行队伍“要求梁振英下台”。
香港作家、自由撰稿人张成觉指出，有可能是中共新领导班子上台后，为树立新形象，开放了一点。
香港作家、自由撰稿人张成觉：“我认为这种情况，对中共并不是负面的东西，因为，中共既然说一国两制，那么香港就有游行示威自由，有新闻自由，应该允许市民上街表达自己的意愿。从大的方面说，这样的事情对中共没有坏处，反而你不报导好像气量太小了，或者说太胆怯了，对自己没有自信。”
香港《开放》杂志编辑蔡咏梅指出，香港13万人上街要求“梁振英下台”，按照香港政府之前的说法，如果10万人上街中央就会整顿，现在《新华社》罕见的进行报导，蔡咏梅说，香港各界都在解读。
香港《开放》杂志编辑蔡咏梅：“一个意思，一般普遍的解释就说，是不是梁振英治理香港，北京都对他丧失信心，是不是中央会换人，所以才敢这样讲，直接讲是不是倒梁，不信任他让他下台；还有的解释：是不是说习近平上台，等着他的政风，就是政治风气要改，那么媒体是不是就说报导客观一点。”
这次游行中，有团体到中联办示威，甚至打出了香港回归前在英国治下的政府旗。但《新华社》报导中没有提及，也没有转载，而且没有英文版报导。
除此之外，报导宣称，至少有6万人上街“力挺”梁振英，但香港警方报告说，“撑梁振英”的游行人数最高峰时有8千，规模远不及呼吁“梁振英下台”的反对声。
蔡咏梅指出，当天游行人数多达13万，“挺梁振英”的不超过2千，其中一部分是社区亲共的团体，和一些亲中的学校强迫学生参加。另有中资机构的员工说：不去，老板就炒鱿鱼。还有，据说，港府花钱请来社会闲杂人员。
蔡咏梅：“这个游行里面，有很多人实际上，现在媒体已经披露了，很多媒体还有电视台的记者，就假装是游行的人，站进去，已经抓住他们游行完了派钱，甚至找黑社会的人，去请黑社会的那些青年仔去游行，然后游行之前，每个人先打个手印，游行完了，再到集体去领钱，一个人250块钱。”
2012年12月底，有网友在脸书上揭发香港“爱港力”组织出资，招兵买马撑梁振英，每人200元。
而1号早上，以香港各界庆典委员会名义组织的“爱港之声”声称，他们支持梁振英施政，发起“新年新希望元旦大游行”。但是，几个网路媒体记者混入他们的队伍，证实了港府花钱请人“力挺”梁振英。
这次游行过后，中共当局许诺：2017年，港人可以直接投票选举香港特区政府首长；2020年，直接选举香港立法会。但香港民主派怀疑这项承诺是一纸空文。

Xinhua News Agency Unusually Reports on 130,000 Strong Hong Kong Protest
Anchor:
On 2013 New Year’s Day, 130,000 Hong Kong people
protested on the streets, asked the Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying to step down.
On the streets, there was also a small group of Hong Kong
people who support Leung.
The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) mouthpiece
Xinhua News Agency reported this protest and
mentioned twice that the aspiration of the parade is
“asking Leung Chun-ying to step down”.
Analysts thought there are two sets of information :
one is that the CCP may want to replace Leung Chun-ying,
another is it wants the media looks more objective
after Xi Jinping’s taking power.
Reporter:
At 6pm on January 1, 2013, Xinhua News Agency published
“Several Hong Kong Groups Initiated a New Year’s Day Parade to Express their Demands”.
In which, it said that tens of thousands of Hong Kong people
paraded on New Year’s Day to express their demands
in which half were against Leung, and half
were supporters of Leung.
Xinhua News Agency quoted the “Civil Human Rights Front"
and reported:"Protests asked the Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying to step down,
That the authority implements the policies that protect
retirement for everybody, freedom of speech and so on.”
“the parade was organized by people power to ask
Leung to step down.”
It’s very rare that Xinhua News Agency reports Hong Kong
protests especially if it’s against the government.
This time, it reported and mentioned twice that
the parade “asked Leung Chun-ying to step down”.
Zhang Chengjue, a Hong Kong freelance writer said that
it’s maybe that the CCP new leadership wants to create a new image and to loosen its limitation a little bit.
Zhang Chengjue: “I think this case is not negative for the
CCP because it is always saying one country two systems .
This means Hong Kong has protest freedom, media freedom.
It should allow people to express their opinions in street.
From a higher point view, this case isn’t bad for CCP,
but would show CCP is too timid, or too scared, or lacking confidence it it didn’t report it.”
Tsoi Wing-mui, editor of Hong Kong Open Magazine said that
130,000 Hong Kong people took to the streets, and asked Leung Chun-ying to step down.
According to the former saying that if there’re more than
100,000 Hong Kong people protest on the street, CCP will rectify Hong Kong regime.
Now Xinhua reported it, Tsoi Wing-mui said all the groups of
Hong Kong are trying to understand the reason.
Tsoi Wing-mui: “There’s one meaning which can be
explained in asking whether Beijing has lost confidence in Leung Chun-ying?or whether the CCP wants to change him?
whether the reporting of anti-Leung feeling is
to allow him to step down?
Another explanation is that after Xi Jinping took office,
he wants to change the political style according to his own ideas ?
If this is the case, then the media
must report more objectively?”
In this parade, some groups protested in front of the
CCP Liaison Office, some even carried the colonial era flag.
But Xinhua didn’t mention this in either Chinese or
English reports, and neither was this information forwarded to related reports in other media.
Furthermore, Xinhua reported that there were at least
60,000 people supporting Leung in the parade,
but Hong Kong police said there were at most 8,000 people
supporting Leung, which is a smaller figure than for the anti- Leung group.
Tsoi Wing-mui pointed out there’re up to 130,000 people
joined the parade, but less than 2,000 of them support Leung.
The supporting teams are pro-CCP groups and some
students who were forced by pro-CCP schools.
There’re some employees of Chinese companies said that
they would lose their jobs if they didn’t go.

Some employees of Chinese companies said that

Mean while, it is reported that the Hong Kong regime
hired people to support Leung in the parade.
Tsoi Wing-mui: “Inside the parade, as the media reported,
the TV reporters found that there were many people who received money after the parade.
They are even gang members .
Those young people were invited.
They made a handprint before the parade, and received
money at the end of the parade which was HK$250 each person.”
At the end of December 2012, netizens unveiled in facebook
that the Hong Kong “Love HK Force” organized and
hired people to support Leung Chun-ying and
paid them HK$200.
On the morning of January 1, the “Sound of Love HK”
which was founded by Hong Kong Celebration Committee
said that they were supporting Leung Chun-ying.
They would organize the “New Year New Hope Parade”.
Some media reporters paraded inside this team and found
that the Hong Kong regime had spent money to support Leung.
After the parade, the CCP authority promised that
Hong Kong people will have the right to vote directly for the Chief Executive in 2017.
They will also have the right to vote directly
for the Hong Kong Legislative Council in 2020.
But Hong Kong democrats doubted
this commitment as just empty words.
