【新唐人2014年06月21日讯】前中共政治局常委、中共副主席曾庆红之子曾伟，在澳大利亚悉尼市购买的一栋百年豪宅，被推倒重建的消息，最近这两天引起国际媒体的“侧目”。被戏称为中共“第二大老虎”的曾庆红，随着曾伟的消息再度引起话题。
2010年，澳洲媒体《悉尼晨锋报》曾经报导，曾伟夫妇2008年在澳大利亚以3千万美元购买豪宅，因此获得澳洲投资移民签证。随后，曾伟夫妇申请整修房屋，几次都被驳回。
这座面对悉尼歌剧院和悉尼大桥的106年历史建筑，曾伟夫妇打算再花450万美元进行改建，取代的则是5层的现代水泥结构楼房。改建工程让当地居民反感。
时事评论员任百鸣﹕“曾伟在澳洲置房地产，这一事情，前两年都有陆陆续续的一些报导和揭露。最近大家都知道曾庆红情况吃紧，很多外面的一些传闻都说他现在已经被习近平控制起来。据说也把他作为第二号大老虎来进行打击。实际上(报导)是在配合着习近平打老虎。”
曾伟的财富引人好奇。美国《博讯网》曾经独家报导说，从接近中纪委人士的消息获知，“中央二号”专案组（周永康专案）查证，曾伟在澳大利亚悉尼所购买的豪宅，资金主要来自前“中石油”董事长、后任“国资委”主任蒋洁敏的利益输送。消息说，蒋洁敏对中共中央专案组交代，为讨好曾伟而利用职权出资为他购买悉尼的房产。不过这个消息并没有获得证实。
任百鸣﹕“那么现在的情况就是说，在他的儿子花三千多万的房产——在澳洲买下之后，最近又被推倒重建，然后引起当地市民议论纷纷。这个事情看似像花边新闻，实际上，根据曾庆红现在岌岌可危的这样一个情况来看的话，就不是一般的花边新闻了。人们自然会对曾庆红家族贪腐的这一方面更加的关注。可想而知，整个贪腐的额度有多大，他才能对三千多万毫不吝惜。”
美国《新纪元周刊》今年3月的封面故事报导《曾庆红儿子——曾伟暴富轨迹》。其中写道，有人这样形容：曾庆红狡诈阴险，中共前党魁“江泽民集团”的所有罪行，曾都是主谋之一。
任百鸣﹕“当初江泽民镇压法轮功，所谓的军师就是他(曾庆红) ，而且是江泽民一手把他从上海带进北京。这样的人物不搬掉的话，他势必会制造更大的事端。大家可以看到最近乱(香)港事件，实际上就是曾庆红幕后进行操作，就是利用香港制造它的乱，然后来消耗习近平的元气，给自己赢得时间和空间，包括国内的恐怖为名的大量社会动乱，来消耗当局的资本。所以，曾庆红这个老虎必需要打掉，不打掉的话后患无穷。”
曾庆红1989年“六四屠城”后随江泽民进京，当时出任中共中央办公厅副主任。后升为中共政治局常委﹔2003年至2008年担任中共国家副主席，主管党内特工系统。2003年以后几年，曾庆红还是中共港澳工作主管。
2010年，香港媒体发表题为《曾庆红家产百亿元——众元老批曾富豪是伪君子》的文章。报导说，当年的10月9号，在北京西山中央招待所召开“老同志特别组织生活会”，主题是“老同志要保持晚节，管教好家属子女”。有近30名原政治局常委、委员及老将军出席。
旅美政论家伍凡﹕“从中共党内来讲，过去曾经流露过消息说，批评曾庆红没把儿子管好，花了三千万美金去买了房子，并且这个钱是国家的钱，动用中海油的钱，曾经说要当作一个事件来通报批评。现在呢!这阵风刮过去了，现在可以改造新房子了，那就说明过去那阵风已经没有了。说明什么呢﹖说明习近平要打击曾庆红这个风势越来越小了。”
不过，今年2月有消息传出，曾伟已经回到中国大陆，处于被软禁状态。
旅美政论家伍凡过去曾经表示，“现在中共高层基本上已经达成了协议，不再打政治局常委这一层的大老虎。”因此，曾庆红被抓只是风声，他说，“真的像判薄熙来那样判曾庆红，才算数。”

Zeng Qinghong’s House Property Attracts Concerns
A luxurious house in Sydney, Australia owned by Zeng Wei,
son of Zeng Qinghong, former member of CCP Politburo
Standing Committee and former vice president, was recently
demolished and is being rebuilt, under international attention.
Zeng Qinghong, dubbed as the “second big tiger" by the anti-
corruption campaign in China has raised heated discussions.
Zeng Wei and his wife purchased the luxury house for
$30 million in 2008, according to Australian media.
The couples gained immigration visas through the
investment.
Later, they applied to renovate the house on several
occasions, but the applications were all rejected by the city.
The house, built 106 years ago, is opposite the Sydney Opera
House and Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Zeng Wei planned to spend another $4.5 million to rebuild
the house into a five-story modern concrete building.
The rebuild has caused resentment from local residents.
Ren Baiming, political commentator “There have been reports
about Zeng Wei buying real estate in Australia in recent years.
We know that Zeng Qinghong is under pressure recently.
Many rumors say that he’s now under control of [President]
Xi Jinping, and is the second big tiger.
In fact, news of the house is assisting Xi to fight the tiger."
Where does Zeng Wei’s wealth come from?
A source close to the Central Discipline Inspection
Commission told Boxun, a US independent Chinese website
that the central investigation task force looking into Zhou
Yongkang’s case) found evidence the money is a bribe.
It seems the money Zeng used to purchase the house was
from Jiang Jiemin, former chairman of PetroChina.
The source says Jiang admitted to the task force that he abused
his power by offering money to Zeng Wei to buy the house.
This was to buy favor with Zeng. This information has not
been confirmed by the official report.
Ren Baiming “The current situation is that Zeng Wei
spent over $30 million to buy a house in Australia.
It’s recently demolished and being rebuilt,
to the resentment of local citizens.
It seems to be superficial news, but if it is about Zeng
Qinghong’s precarious current situation, it is newsworthy.
It makes people think of Zeng’s family corruption.
It shows how much money they may have embezzled.
They even can demolish a $30 million house."
U.S. media Epoch Weekly published a story in March titled
“Zeng Qinghong’s Son, Zeng We’s Track of Sudden Wealth."
The report says someone has described Zeng Qinghong
as “insidious and cunning."
Zeng was one of the masterminds of the crimes committed
by former Party leader Jiang Zemin and his group.
Ren Baiming “When Jiang started persecuting Falun Gong,
Zeng Qinghong was the military advisor.
Zeng came to Beijing from Shanghai to Jiang’s assistance.
If such a person is not dealt with, he’ll make more trouble.
We’ve seen several chaotic incidents in Hong Kong that
were operated by Zeng Qinghong behind the scenes.
He wants to make chaos in Hong Kong to reduce
Xi Jinping’s power, and to gain time for himself.
He also uses the many apparent terrorist attacks in mainland
China to consume the government’s power.
So, Zeng Qinghong, a big tiger, must be sacked.
Otherwise, there will be endless trouble."
Zeng Qinghong followed Jiang Zemin to Beijing
after the June 4 massacre in 1989.
He then served as the deputy director of the General Office
of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Central Committee.
Later, he became a member of the Politburo Committee.
He was the vice president from 2003 to 2008, in charge of
the secret service system inside the party.
Zeng was in charge of Hong Kong and Macao
for a few years after 2003.
In 2010, Hong Kong media published an article “Zeng
Qinghong Family Assets in Multi Billions; Senior Officials
Criticize Zeng As a Hypocrite." The report says a senior
comrades special meeting was held in Beijing on Oct. 9, 2010.
The meeting was how “senior comrades should discipline
their children well to maintain their reputation."
Nearly 30 former members of Politburo Standing Committee
and former military generals attended the meeting.
Wu Fan, political commentator in the US, “Rumors inside the
CCP says Zeng Qinghong didn’t discipline his son well.
He let him spend $30 million on a house, when the money
belonged to the nation.
It was the money from the oil system.
Rumor says that they would be criticized in a notification.
But now the chaotic wind is gone, they can rebuild a house.
What does it mean? It means that Xi Jinping’s intention of
cracking down on Zeng Qinghong is becoming less.
However, news in February shows that Zeng Wei
came back to China and was put under house arrest.
Wu Fan indicated in the past “the CCP high level has an
agreement that they won’t crackdown on big tigers in the
Politburo Standing Committee level." So Zeng Qinghong
under control is just a rumor, he said.
“It would truly count if Zeng Qinghong is put on trial like
disgraced senior official Bo Xilai."
