【新唐人2013年01月24日訊】「籠子」成熱詞 民籲先放百姓出來
1月22號，中共喉舌媒體報導，中共總書記習近平在中紀委會議上，再次劍指中共貪污腐敗問題，表示「要加強對權力運行的制約和監督，把權力關進制度的籠子裡」。習近平講話的內容，很快成為大陸網絡熱議的內容，其中「籠子」成為熱詞，僅在新浪微博上搜索，相關內容多達600多萬條。
有網友認為，中國新領導層在這句話的背後，並沒有顯示出十足的改革誠意。因為「權力關進籠子」是偽命題，散佈了虛假希望。
也有網友評論說，「相信習近平的籠子的人，一定也相信江澤民的代表、溫家寶的眼淚、鄧小平的石頭、毛澤東的人品。」
而北京律師於國富則對《德國之聲》表示，第一步應該是「把老百姓先從籠子裡放出來」。把權力關進籠子只是一個方面，如果不把老百姓放出來，誰能把權力關進籠子裡？只能是一個更大的權力，那麼更大的權力可能就更加失去制約，產生更大的權力濫用。
英媒：中共正在談論戰爭
英國《金融時報》1月23號發表評論文章，指出：中共領導人正在以準備戰爭的言辭，取代過去強調和平發展的講話。
文章分析說，這些言辭在一定程度上是出於對國內狀況的考慮。習近平所領導的中共，在如何處理國內問題上存在著巨大的分歧，而民族自豪感和堅定的態度可能會產生關鍵的凝聚力。
文章說，中共在對待中日釣魚島主權爭端的問題上，已經開始採取戰爭威脅策略。
文章最後說，這樣的威懾策略可能對許多國家都會奏效，但是中共將在另一條戰線上失敗，也就是無法再反駁「中國威脅論」。
北京富士康千人罷工
北京「富士康電子廠」上千工人，1月21、22號，連續罷工兩天，抗議不發年終獎金及不漲工資。
據《中國茉莉花革命》網站報導，「富士康」員工因工廠2012年沒有做薪資普調，年終績效獎金髮放時間及標準也不明確，投訴多次，但廠方的回答含糊其辭。
員工21號下午開始與廠方談判，廠方承諾第二天給答復。
22號，上千工人聚集在餐廳等待答復，但廠方始終不願給出明確答案，引起員工的不滿，雙方僵持不下，事件升級為罷工。當地政府派出警察在廠區戒備，以防事件惡化。

Netizens: Put Power Into A Cage? Why Not Free Civilians First?
On January 22, the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP)
media reported Xi Jinping spoke again about corruption.
This time, it was at a CCP disciplinary watchdog meeting.
Xi advocated: “To enhance restraint and
supervision on the use of power, which
should be restricted by the cage of regulations.”
Xi’s remarks soon triggered heated discussions
online, where the word ‘cage’ was mostly mentioned.
A search on Sina microblog for the term ‘cage’
returns up to 6 million results with related content.
Some netizens said that behind his words are revealed
that the new leadership has no intention of reforming.
Putting power into a cage is empty talk, giving a false hope.
Netizens commented, “If anyone believed what Xi
said about the cage, then surely they would believe
Jiang Zemin’s Eight-point Proposal, Wen Jiabao’s tears,
Deng Xiaoping’s stone and Mao Zedong’s personnel.”
Beijing lawyer Yu Guofu told Deutsche Welle that the
first step should be to “free civilians from the cage.”
To restrict power in a cage of regulations is only one aspect.
Without the release of civilians first, who
is able to restrict the power into a cage?
It will need a higher power, and if so, it may lose the
power of restriction, causing even more abuse of power.
UK Media: Return of War Rhetoric From China
On January 23, the UK’s Financial Times commented,
that Beijing is now being much more open with war rhetoric.
Phrases about fighting wars have replaced
talk about peace in speeches in the past.
The article said, “such rhetoric is partly
driven by domestic considerations.
Xi Jinping heads up a party that is deeply split
over how to address the nation’s growing problems.
National pride and an assertive stance could
help provide the vital glue to hold things together.”
The article said that the CCP has begun to take the warlike
threat strategy when dealing with the Diaoyu Islands dispute.
The article said that such a strategy of deterrence is likely
to succeed with many countries in China’s backyard.
However, the CCP will lose internationally, as it will
no longer be able to deny that China is a global threat.
1000 Beijing Foxconn Workers On Strike
On January 21 and 22, over 1000 workers
went on strike at Beijing Foxconn factory.
They were protesting against that fact that there were
no end-of-year bonus payments, and no pay rises.
According to the China Jasmine Revolution website,
Foxconn workers didn’t have a pay rise in 2012, and
the end-of-year year bonuses haven’t been confirm.
They appealed many times, but the answers
given by the management were not clear.
Striking workers negotiated with the management
during the afternoon of January 21, as they were promised a reply the following day.
On the morning of the next day, over 1000 workers
were waiting in the factory dinning hall for a result.
However, the management were still unwilling
to give a clear answer, and workers were unhappy.
Both sides entered a deadlocked,
and workers began to strike.
Police were sent to the factory to prevent
the situation from getting worse.
