【新唐人2013年01月10日讯】《南周》风波已经过去了一个多星期，在全世界媒体和大陆民众纷纷声援的局势下，传出中共省委书记胡春华出面亲自调解《南周》风波。他提出了“不搞秋后算账”等解决方案。不过，新闻界人士认为，中共现在是为了应付社会上支持《南周》的声浪，应该会有一个秘密协议，但事后会不会秋后算账还有待观察。
《南方周末》新年献词遭窜改事件爆发后，支持《南周》的声浪已经达到了高潮。世界各大主流媒体纷纷给予事件关注；美国国务院也发言支持《南方周末》捍卫媒体自由权；大陆各界人士连日来也自发的到《南方》报业集团门前，抗议中共当局的新闻审查制度，声援和支持报社职工罢工。
针对“南周事件”事态的变化，《路透社》引述接近中共广东省委人士的消息透露，胡春华亲自介入“南周事件”引发的僵局，提供解决的方案是：报社员工结束罢工，恢复正常工作，这一周报纸照常出版；不搞秋后算账。
不过，胡春华介入调解，同《南方周末》员工达成的协议，中共当局并没有对外公布。美国中文杂志《中国事务》总编伍凡认为，现在胡春华介入这件事情，可能做了一个不公开的秘密协定。
《中国事务》总编伍凡：“它现在是为了应付社会上的抗议—-社会上支持南方周末这个声浪；甚至于美国国务院发表的讲话；世界各国主要媒体都发表了评论、社论 。它在目前这种局势下，共产党是采取退一步，以后可能准备等时机成熟的时候再进两步，这都有可能。”
香港《开放》杂志编辑蔡咏梅：“南方周末这个事情很明显，它如果不妥协的话，它们有两种选择一个镇压；另外一个就是，这个事件会进一步的…不镇压南周会越走越大，用它们的话说，就变成一个政治事件，所以它们肯定是，现在如果不镇压就是妥协。”
消息还说，胡春华暗示，中共广东省委宣传部部长庹震将下台，但为了官方的面子，不会让他立即离职。根据有关协议，《南方周末》主编黄灿也将被解职；《南方周末》的采编人员将返回工作岗位，周报也在周四（10号)按时出版。
但有消息指称，采编人员原本要求在新一期出版的周报内容中，对这次事件作出解释，例如对已刊出的“2000年前大禹治水”、“众志成诚”等错误地方更正等，现在能否达成目标，仍然有变数。
有关“南周事件”后续的最新情况﹖《新唐人》采访了《南周》记者。
《南周》记者：“我的电话是监控的。”
《新唐人》记者：“那就是不方便谈是吧？”
《南周》记者：“对！”
伍凡提醒《南周》的媒体工作人员，不要相信共产党，因为，即便胡春华想遵守协议，一旦形势变化，上面命令他秋后算账，胡春华也没有办法。因为他和中共是一个整体。伍凡说，共产党是个机器，媒体历来都要接受共产党的管制。
伍凡：“对中共的承诺从来不相信，因为太多历史经验教训了，太多太多了。今天说是白的，明天反过来可以说黑的，根本不认账，历史上太多了。至于这一次会不会秋后算账，大家都等着瞧，都等着看。”
不过，在历来中共管制新闻这么艰难的情况下，《南方周末》的编辑们还能维持敢言作风，这令香港《开放》杂志编辑蔡咏梅感佩，她说，《南周》的这批记者还是很勇敢的。
但伍凡说，现在社会上更大范围的要求是言论自由、解散中宣部、走上宪政道路、甚至提出“解散共产党”，这些都已经超过南周事件本身的问题，所以共产党害怕，如果事件被扩大了，就更难收拾了。

Is a Secret Deal Behind Hu Chunhua’s Southern Weekend Stand-off Intervention?
The newly appointed Communist Party chief of
Guangdong province, Hu Chunhua, was reported to have diffused the Southern Weekend stand-off.
He proposed some solutions, including
no opportune punishment after the settlement.
It is believed a deal has been reached to cope with
public support of the Southern Weekend.
However, whether a grudge will be held
against it (the deal) remains to be seen.
Since the New Year message from the Southern Weekend
was tampered by the authorities,
public support to protest has reached a climax.
The world’s major mainstream media voiced their concern.
U.S. Department of State also issued a statement to support
Southern Weekend’s right to defend free media, and many
people also protest censorship and pay solidarity to support
the workers strike in front of the Southern Weekend Group.
Reuters reported that chief of Guangdong province,
Hu Chunhua, intervened in the Southern Weekend incident
with solutions such as end the strike and resume publishing,
and no grudge will be held by the authorities.
However, this reported solution by Hu Chunhua
was not publicized by the Chinese authorities.
China Affairs magazine editor Chris Wu believes that
a deal has been reached.
China Affairs editor Chris Wu:"The regime tries to deal
with the protest, the societal support, the U.S. State Department’s speech, and comments from the world media.
Under such a situation, the Communist regime
is only to take a step back and wait for an opportunity to leap forward two steps sometime later."
Hong Kong based Open Magazine editor Tsoi Wing Mui:
“It is very obvious that suppression will result if Southern Weekend incident is not resolved.
Also if this incident goes further, the Southern Weekend
incident will become a political issue.
Without suppression, it means compromise for sure."
It is also reported that Hu Chunhua has hinted that the
Guangdong Propaganda Minister, Tuo Zhen, will step down.
For the official to save face, he will not leave right away.
Also part of the deal is that Southern Weekend editor,
Huang Can, will be sacked, editorial staff will return to work, and publishing will be on time on Thursday, the 10th.
There are also other sources who alleged that
the editorial staff originally asked for an explanation
in the latest publishing and correction of mistakes
caused by the censorship.
However, whether this request will be realized
remains unknown.
New Tang Dynasty TV interviewed a reporter
of Southern Weekend for the latest info.
Southern Weekend reporter: “My phone is monitored."
New Tang Dynasty reporter: “It is not convenient for you
to talk?" Southern Weekend reporter: “No!"
Chris Wu Fan hopes to remind the Southern Weekend staff
not to believe the Communist Party.
Maybe Hu Chunhua will comply with the agreement.
But once the situation changes,
being part of the Communist Party,
Hu will only obey the order to punish those who are involved.
Chris Wu says that the Communist Party is a machine
that controls the media.
Chris Wu: “Do not ever trust Communist Party’s commitment.
There are too many lessons in history.
They will claim what’s white today is black tomorrow.
They never take their words seriously.
Whether or not there’ll be any retaliation later, we will see."
However, Hong Kong magazine Open editor, Tsoi Wing Mui,
admires editors of Southern Weekend for
their outspoken style under the harsh control of the regime. She praises their bravery.
Chris Wu says that people in China are now asking for freedom
of speech, dissolution of the Central Propaganda Department,
embarkment on the constitutional road, and even
the dissolution of the Communist Party.
These have a much wider impact than the
Southern Weekend incident.
The Communist regime fears that if this incident expands,
things will only get tougher for them to deal with.
