【新唐人2014年01月25日讯】1月22号，北京在审判“新公民运动”发起人许志永案的同一天，宣布大陆投资人王功权认罪，并给予取保候审。王功权的朋友在接受本台记者采访的时候，肯定并理解王功权，而对中共当局的分化瓦解策略表示鄙视。知情人士透露，当局担忧﹕抓捕王功权令企业家感到心寒，而加速移民潮。
北京市第一中级人民法院周三晚间在官方微博上说，王功权承认与许志永一起策划、煽动聚众扰乱公共场所秩序的违法犯罪活动，对自己的行为表示深刻反省。将对王功权予以取保候审。
大陆律师张庆方向《新唐人》透露，法院之所以批准王功权取保候审，有两个原因。一个是，王功权基本上没有参与起诉书指控的五次所谓“扰乱公共秩序的行为”。另外一个则是，很多企业界的企业家们也在不停呼吁，释放王功权、不要迫害企业家。当局也必须考虑企业家的态度。
北京汉鼎联合律师事务所合伙人张庆方：“因为一旦给王功权强行定罪，就有可能让更多企业家认为，在中国是不安全的。就会推动现在的移民潮。这会对中国的经济不利。这也是政府必须考虑的因素。”
张庆方是“新公民运动”许志永案的辩护律师，他看过王功权的审讯笔录和认罪书。
张庆方：“因为他并没有把责任往别人身上推，或者说他为了使自己能尽早的获得自由，去歪曲什么、去迎合什么，是没有的。其中涉及到我的一些问题，我看到王功权还都是把责任往自己身上揽，我看了也是非常感动。”
张庆方认为，王功权在里边没有出卖任何人，也没有歪曲任何事实。他是为了尽早获得自由，陪伴家人，才向当局妥协，他的朋友们完全可以理解，他并没有因此丧失尊严。张庆方认为，丧失尊严的应该是强行逼迫人认罪的司法。
王功权的朋友，北京人权活动人士胡佳表示，在王功权出狱当天，他立刻给王功权发了一封微信问候，并让他好好休养。胡佳表示，共产党说的任何话，包括北京中院发布的消息，都不足为信。
北京人权活动人士胡佳：“在那种环境下，密集提讯，城下之盟。因为共产党特别善于在法律之外的事情上来对你做要挟威逼。你像原来高智晟律师就是，你在这里撑着，那么你的妻子女儿和儿子就要在那边受苦。就明确的给他这样。”
王功权能够在新年前夕回家，和家人团聚，胡佳表示为他高兴。而所谓的悔过书，只能用以证明﹕当局手段的龌龊和卑鄙。
胡佳：“他没做错什么事情。包括他现在所谓的悔罪，在电视上这些东西，都没所谓。因为你面临着一个不对称的对手。不是每个人都要去做英雄的。而且他现在并没有……他也并非不是英雄。他以前做的那些事情，包括他倡导教育平权，而且他也出现过在黑监狱的门口。”
有分析说，法院在审判许志永的同一天宣布王功权认罪、并取保候审，是挑拨离间企业家和人权活动人士的关系。胡佳表示，看到一个成功的投资人被抓了，企业家们肯定有害怕的，但是同时，也会对这个体制感到强烈的不安全感。
胡佳：“会有反感，他也有愤怒。尽管有些人是敢怒不敢言。那么愤怒是什么东西？害怕又是什么东西？你害怕一个人，你肯定是憎恨这个人的，就是在积聚这个怒火。企业家阶层，本身南方就有一些中小企业家，在很低调、很隐秘的情况下，资助街头举牌的行动者。”
胡佳表示，现在许多企业家明白，在中共体制下，人民的财产和人身权利都得不到安全，只有彻底改变一党专制体制。因此他肯定还会有企业家站出来，资助“新公民运动”，和其他公民自发的街头行动。

Afraid of Pushing More Business Owners Out Of China,
the CCP Authority Releases Wang Gongquan
On Jan. 22, Xu Zhiyong, founder of New Citizens’ Movement,
was tried by the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) authority.
On the same day, Beijing announced that investor
Wang Gongquan, an advocate involved in the movement,
was released on bail because he confessed to his crimes.
A friend of Wang’s told NTD that he could understand
Wang’s decision and it’s the CCP’s demoralization strategy
that should be despised.
Sources revealed that the party feared the arrest of Wang
might further push Chinese business people to emigrate.
Late on Wednesday (Jan. 22), Beijing No. 1 Intermediate
Court announced on its Weibo page that Wang Gongquan
had admitted to collaborating with Xu Zhiyong on charges
of plotting illegal activities that “disturbed public order".
The court said Wang would be released on bail,
as he promised to reflect upon his “crimes".
Chinese lawyer Zhang Qingfang told NTD that there are
two reasons the court approved the release of Wang.
First, Wang did not participate in any of the five events
which were claimed to have “disrupted public order"
by the authority.
Second, many Chinese business people have continued
to advocate for the release of Wang and call for an end
to the persecution of entrepreneurs;
The CCP was forced to consider their attitude
in such a situation.
Zhang Qingfang(Chinese lawyer): “If Wang is unjustly
convicted, more entrepreneurs will regard China
as an unsafe place.
This will further push the current emigration wave
and bring harm to China’s economy.
Therefore the CCP authority has to take this effect
into account."
Xu Zhiyong’s defense attorney Zhang Qingfang read
Wang’s trial record and his confession statement.
Zhang Qingfang:"He (Wang Gongquan) did not attempt to
push the blame on others,
distort the truth or curry favor for his freedom.
I am also involved in some issues.
But I saw that Wang attempted to take all responsibilities
on by himself. I was truly moved by that."
Zhang Qingfang said Wang did not betray anyone
or distort any truth during arrest.
He simply compromised with the party because he
wanted to meet with his family as soon as possible.
His friends can fully understand him and he has kept
his own dignity.
Zhang said the one that lost dignity was the party’s judicial
system as they forced people to confess to baseless charges.
Wang Gongquan’s friend, the famous Beijing human rights
activist Hu Jia, said he had sent a WeChat message to Wang
immediately after his release, wishing him a good rest.
Hu Jia said none of the CCP’s words can be trusted, including
the announcement of the Beijing Intermediate Court.
Hu Jia, Beijing human rights activist: “They forced
a compromise with intensive interrogation
in an enclosed environment.
The party is especially good at intimidating people
with extrajudicial measures.
For example, in Gao Zhisheng’s case, he was clearly
informed that his wife and children would be tortured
if he refused to confess.
They just do things like that."
Hu Jia is happy that Wang Gongquan can go
back home right before the Chinese New Year.
On the other hand, the so-called “statement of confession"
only shows how unscrupulous the party is.
Hu Jia: “He didn’t do anything wrong, including his so-called
‘confession’ that was broadcast on TV.
The fact is that he was facing an overwhelming opponent.
Not everyone has to be a hero.
Besides Wang is still a hero for his previous actions,
such as advocating equal educational opportunities
and visiting black jails."
There are comments saying that the party tried to create
dissent among business people and rights activists
by releasing Wang on bail right after
announcing his “confession".
Hu Jia said entrepreneurs were definitely frightened
when they saw the arrest of a successful investor.
However, this also induced a strong sense of danger
against the regime among those elites.
Hu Jia: “This will lead to antipathy and anger, although
many people won’t directly speak out about their feelings.
What is anger? What is fear?
When you fear someone, you also have hatred
against that person.
So the feelings of anger accumulate.
In south China, many small to mid-size business owners
are financially supporting street protesters in a low-profile
and secretive manner."
Hu Jia believes many Chinese business people now
understand that there is no protection of private assets
and personal safety under the CCP’s governance.
The only solution is to completely overturn
the CCP’s one-party dictatorship.
Hu therefore concluded that more business owners will
stand out to support the New Citizens’ Movement
and other spontaneous civil rights activities.
