【新唐人2013年08月15日讯】中共前总理朱镕基的新书《朱镕基上海讲话实录》在12号正式发行，党媒大肆报导引来关注。同一天，中共前党魁江泽民也不甘寂寞，在他的家乡扬州举行了《江泽民与扬州》画册首发式。不过，江泽民出书的消息却被党媒延迟到13号才发布。周所周知，朱江两人的的嫌隙由来已久。早在90年代末期，有关江泽民和朱镕基不和的消息，便在坊间流传。而这一次，两人同时出书，江朱恶斗再次持续，背后又隐含着什么深意呢？
朱镕基的新书《朱镕基上海讲话实录》12号，由人民出版社、上海人民出版社联合出版。江泽民也不愿落后，同日在自己的家乡扬州举行了《江泽民与扬州》画册首发式。
当天，中共喉舌《人民网》等媒体争先报导了朱镕基出书的消息，而有关江泽民出新书的报导，却被延迟一天，13号才公布。
时事评论员夏小强：“朱镕基作为中共党内，改革和反腐的代表人物，现在出书，特别是在书中提到了‘刑不上大夫’这样的话，应该是配合目前习近平审理薄熙来，和释放打大老虎周永康的信息而做的。”
夏小强观察分析，江泽民的招牌是江派势力的最后屏障，处于劣势的江派一方，拚命发出声音来试图保持平衡。但是，对比中共媒体对朱镕基和江泽民出书的报导冷热，江泽民希望的势力平衡没有达到。
夏小强：“朱镕基和江泽民在此时同时出书，和中共高层围绕审理薄熙来，以及近日媒体传出的，中共内部决定立案调查处理周永康有关系。”
目前，中国社会已经到了各种矛盾无法调和的地步，中共党内出现严重分裂，并且在媒体报导上彻底公开化。
有媒体以江泽民朱镕基暗中较劲为题进行了相关的报导，事实上，早在上海时期，有关江、朱不和的消息就为人所熟知。
时事评论员夏小强：“朱镕基在1998年当上总理后，江泽民和朱镕基就展开了一种斗争。邓小平死后，江泽民掌握了党、政、军大权，在中共国务院系统内，江泽民对经济领域一直难以插手，掌控经济的大权一直在朱镕基的手上，因此江泽民一直想方设法要把朱镕基搞掉。”
99年4月朱镕基访美，因没有获得美方支持中国加入世界贸易组织，一个月后又发生美国战机炸毁中国驻南斯拉夫大使馆事件，江泽民以此为借口，夺去朱的权力。
而朱镕基以沿海地区走私活动非常猖獗，甚至影响到国家税收、破坏经济秩序为由，下令成立专案组调查，不久，震惊中外的远华走私案爆出。
时事评论员刘淇昆：“他们两个人之间一直有矛盾，共产党高官之间有矛盾的多了，江泽民当然是十恶不赦的大坏蛋，我也绝对不会说朱镕基是好人，共产党的头面人物没有好人。”
夏小强：“朱镕基借助远华案，牢牢的抓住了江泽民的心腹贾庆林不放，他想把赖昌星引渡回国，但当时没有成功，朱镕基在位最大的遗憾就是，他没有能够利用远华案，把江泽民的铁杆亲信贾庆林搞掉。”
当时多名江系核心卷入远华案，远华案主要犯罪嫌疑人赖昌星在加拿大时，曾向记者盛雪披露，他得到江泽民秘书贾廷安以及福建省委书记贾庆林等人的支持，才能走私大量石油、私家车等战略物资。
江泽民一方面阻挠引渡赖昌星，另一方面以受贿罪拘捕朱镕基得力干将、中信集团董事长朱小华，将其判刑15年。
当时，远华案涉案走私漏税金额达830亿元人民币。被撤职、查办、逮捕、判刑的涉案官员近千人，其中涉及省、部级干部有多人，有20余人被判死刑。

Zhu Rongji Supports Xi Jinping? Jiang Zemin Defeated?
On 12th August, China’s former Premier Zhu Rongji
published a new book which is a collection of his
speeches and letters in Shanghai.
The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) high-profile
media reported on it.
The CCP’s former head Jiang Zemin didn’t stay in silent.
In Jiang’s hometown in Yangzhou, for Jiang Zemin a
Yangzhou album release ceremony was being held.
However, this news was held back by
the CCP media until 13th August.
It is no secret that Zhu Rongji and Jiang Zemin
were against each other for years.
In the late 90s, rumors about Zhu and Jiang’s struggles
were spread all around.
Now, both relates to the news of publishing new books,
It indicates that Zhu and Jiang’s infighting is continuing.
What’s the background behind it?
Zhu Rongji’s new books were selling
on the market on 12th August.
Yet Jiang Zemin also held a new album release event
in his hometown on the same day.
The CCP mouthpiece media such as People’s Daily
website reported on Zhu’s news first.
Jiang’s news was postponed until the next day.
Xia Xiaoqiang, current affairs commentator:
“Zhu Rongji, as a representative of the CCP’s reform
and anti-corruption faction, now publishes a new book,
in his book, he especially criticized
the “privilege group being free from punishment".
It likely coincides with the upcoming trial of Bo Xilai
and is preparation for Xi Jinping’s fight against
the big tiger-Zhou Yongkang."
Xia Xiaoqiang analyzed that Jiang Zemin
is Jiang faction’s last sign.
The Jiang faction is in disadvantaged situation,
thus desperate to pursue a returning of balance.
However, from the way the news is being reported
by the CCP, Jiang’s faction didn’t reach its goal.
Xia Xiaoqiang: “Zhu Rongji and Jiang Zemin
published books at the same time,
it is associated with Bo Xilai’s trial and rumors reported
by the media are that the CCP have
internally decided to investigate Zhou Yongkang."
Now contradictions in Chinese society have come
to the point of irreconcilability.
The CCP internally has intensified separation,
from the media reports, it openly shows that.
Some media used the title “underlying competition",
when reporting on Jiang Zemin and Zhu Rongji.
Actually, in the earlier years in Shanghai,
people knew that Jiang and Zhu were against each other.
Xia Xiaoqiang: “After Zhu became Premier in 1998,
Jiang and Zhu had begun a struggle.
After the death of Deng Xiaoping, Jiang grasped power
of the party, government and military.
Jiang found it difficult to intervene in economic industry,
it was under control in Zhu’s hands.
Thus Jiang has always tried hard to get rid of Zhu."
Zhu visited the US in April 1999.
Zhu didn’t win US support to join the WTO,
in addition to this, one month later, during
the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia,
US bombs hit the Chinese Embassy, Jiang therefore
used it as excuse to remove Zhu from power.
Yet Zhu Rongji took on the rampant smuggling activities
in coastal areas, which affected the national tax revenue,
and undermined economic order as an excuse to order
the forming of a special case investigation team.
Shortly after, the “Yuanhua smuggling" scandal broke out.
Liu Qikun, current affairs commentator:
“Between them are always struggles against each other.
It is common practice among high-ranking officials.
Jiang Zemin certainly is an evil thug,
but I won’t say Zhu is good.
There is no good person among CCP’s top leaders."
Xia Xiaoqiang: “Zhu used the Yuanhua case to firmly
hold Jia Qinglin, a confidant of Jiang.
Zhu intended to extradite Lai Changxing, but failed.
Zhu’s biggest regret is that he didn’t remove Jiang’s
confidant Jia Qinglin via the Yuanhua smuggling case."
At that time, Jiang faction’s several key people
had involvement in the Yuanhua case.
When Lai Changxing, the main suspect was in Canada,
he told journalist Sheng Xue that he had support from
Jiang’s secretary Jia Ting’an and Jia Qinglin,
thus he dared to smuggle large quantities of oil,
private military vehicles and other strategic materials.
Jiang Zemin blocked the extradition of Lai Changxing
and arrested Zhu Rongji’s close ally Zhu Xiaohua,
Chairman of the CITIC Group.
Zhu Xiaohua was sentenced to 15 years.
At that time, the Yuanhua smuggling case involved
tax evasion of 83 billion Yuan ($14 million).
Thousands of officials were dismissed, investigated,
arrested and sentenced.
Involved were many provincial and ministerial level cadres,
more than 20 people were sentenced to death.
