【新唐人2014年07月16日讯】7月14号，被中共当局一拖再拖的“周永康案”，突然同时释放出好几条线索：首先，周永康的三名心腹高官被立案侦查﹔其次，与周永康之子周滨关系密切的四川富商“刘汉案”，二审开庭﹔另外，中共将提早召开“十八届四中全会”，会上有可能正式公布对周永康的贪腐调查报告。这是否代表周永康案即将被公布？周案的终结点又将在哪里？
无论牵动这三条线索中的哪一条，都会追踪到同一名症结人物——中共前政法委书记周永康。
7月14号被立案侦查的三名高官：蒋洁敏、李东生、王永春，被外界称为周永康的“心腹”。三人在上个月被开除党籍，现在被中共最高检察院以涉嫌受贿罪立案侦查，并被正式批准逮捕。
蒋洁敏被称为周永康的“长期门生”。而王永春是周永康在大庆油田工作时的得力助手。他们和其他石油帮高官的落马，被视作当局在翦除周永康在石油系统里的羽翼。
而前公安部副部长李东生则是在去年12月被免职，当时他被公布的第一头衔是所谓的“610办公室”主任，也就是由江泽民指令成立的，专门迫害法轮功的机构，与政法委合署办公，周永康和罗干都曾经出任“610”头目。
时事评论员林子旭：“在很短的时间之内，这三个人被捏在一起开除党籍，现在又被同日批捕，其中的意味已经非常明显了。”
同样在14号，原四川富商刘汉涉黑案，在咸宁市进行了二审。刘汉在今年2月被当局以涉嫌黑社会，以及故意杀人等罪名被公诉后，大陆媒体曝光他背后有“大靠山”。《财新网》还说，刘汉是周永康之子周滨在四川的生意伙伴，并有投资往来。
刘汉等人在5月被判死刑，之后提出上诉。
而另一条在14号释放强烈信息的线索，是香港媒体《南华早报》所报导的﹕“四中全会料提前召开或公布周案”。
文章引用多名消息人士的话说，中共高层希望提早到8月或9月初召开“四中全会”，以回应公布“周永康案”的压力。
文章还说，当局担心，周永康的落马可能会动摇公众对大陆司法体系的信心。因此，包括执法和宣传部门的高级官员在内的消息人士指称，中共领导人已经决定在“四中全会”上强调法治问题，以减少公众对周永康被查落马，是由于政治斗争需要的猜测。
旅美中国问题评论人士李善鉴：“最近还有消息讲，曾庆红也被控制了，不管它这个谣言本身是真是假，但是这种传言能传出来，其实它一定是有出处的，它一定有原因的。”
一天之内三条线索，归结在周永康一身。但周永康，显然并不是近期当局一系列动作的句号。
李善鉴：“他们的最终目标，已经远远不是周永康本人了。特别是联系到前几天徐才厚被清掉，那有关现在郭伯雄的各种传言也是到处都是，当他开始动军队的时候，我觉得已经超出周永康的范围了。”
时事评论员林子旭：“徐才厚被拿下以后，江习两派的权斗已经彻底摊牌了，对于周永康的处理，习近平很有可能会把声势搞得特别大，从而为最终清除江派势力做好铺垫。”
不过，评论进一步指出，清除江派势力，可能也不一定是句号。
李善鉴：“只有把江派整个搞下去，习呢，他才可能去做一些他想做的事情。但是他想做的事情，是不是就是对的事情，合理的事情，还有待观察。”
旅居美国的中国问题评论人士李善鉴认为，现在起码有这样的机会可以清除江派势力，但是，就看中共高层有没有魄力，敢于解决这些共产党本身长期存在的问题。

Three News Releases In One Day All Point To Zhou Yongkang?
On July 14, three noteworthy items of news were released.
First, the investigation of three henchmen
of Zhou Yongkang started.
Second, Liu Han, Sichuan tycoon, made his second
court appearance.
He is known to be closely connected to Zhou Bin,
son of Zhou Yongkang.
Third, the 18th Fourth Plenary will be convened earlier
and Zhou Yongkang’s corruption case is expected to conclude,
reported Hong Kong media, South China Morning Post.
Do they mean the much delayed Zhou Yongkang case will be
announced soon?
What is the end point for Zhou’s case?
These three items lead to the same key person: Zhou Yongkang,
former Secretary of the Commission of Politics and Law.
The three officials filed to be investigated on July 14
were Jiang Jiemin, Li Dongsheng, and Wang Yongchun.
All three of them were known as the henchmen
of Zhou Yongkang.
They were all expelled from the party last month.
The Supreme Procuratorate put them under investigation
on suspicion of taking bribes, and formally approved the arrest.
Jiang Jiemin is named long-term protege of Zhou Yongkang.
Wang Yongchun was an influential assistant
of Zhou Yongkang at Daqing Oilfield.
Their downfall as well as the removal of other senior oil field
officials was seen as clipping Zhou Yongkang’s wings
in the oil system.
Li Dongsheng, former Vice Minister of Public Security,
was dismissed last December.
In the dismissal announcement, the regime described him
as the Director of 610 Office, the security agency formed
under the instruction of Jiang Zemin for conducting persecution
of Falun Gong.
It is headed by a member of Politburo Standing Committee.
Both Zhou Yongkang and Luo Gan had led the 610 Office.
Commentator Lin Zixu: “In a very short period of time,
these three men were tied together and expelled from the party;
and now they are arrested on the same day,
the meaning of it is very obvious."
Also on the 14th, Liu Han, former Sichuan businessman,
faced a second trial in Xianning City for gang crime.
Liu Han was indicted in February on charges of alleged
underworld activities and premeditated murder.
The Chinese media reported the ‘Big Daddy’ behind him.
Caixin reported that Liu Han and Zhou Bin were partners
in business and investment.
Liu Han appealed after the death sentence verdict in May.
Overseas Chinese media believe the appeal verdict
will largely display the regime’s attitude
towards Zhou Yongkang’s case.
Another strong signal released on the 14th was that,
“The Fourth Plenary Session could be held earlier to announce
Zhou’s case," reported by the pro-Beijing Hong Kong media,
South China Morning Post (SCMP).
Several sources were reported to reveal the hope of the regime
to move up the Fourth Plenary to either August or early
September in response to the pressure
to announce Zhou Yongkang case.
SCMP reported the regime’s concern that Zhou Yongkang’s
downfall might shake domestic confidence
in the judicial system.
Sources from law enforcement and propaganda claimed
the Central will emphasize law and order in the Fourth Plenary.
It aims to reduce public concern that Zhou’s downfall
may be related to political struggle.
Independent commentator Li Shanjian: “Rumor has it that
Zeng Qinghong has also been controlled.
Whether it is true or not, this rumor must have its provenance.
It exists for a reason."
Three releases in one day, all attributed to one person,
Zhou Yongkang.
But Zhou Yongkang is obviously not a full stop
to the recent series of actions by the regime.
Li Shanjian: “Their ultimate goal is far beyond Zhou Yongkang.
Considering Xu Caihou’s downfall just a few days ago,
along with the wide spread rumors about Guo Boxiong,
the scope is beyond Zhou Yongkang,
ever since the military was affected."
Lin Zixu: “When Xu Caihou was sacked, Jiang and Xi have
come to a showdown.
Xi Jinping could have a major action on Zhou Yongkang
in order to pave the road to clean the Jiang faction."
However, commentators further note that eliminating
the Jiang faction may not draw a line.
Li Shanjian: “Xi can only proceed with his task
with the complete elimination of the Jiang faction.
But whether or not his deeds are right and reasonable
is yet to be seen.
At least, he will have the opportunity.
Or, to put it frankly, his determination to solve the problem
from the root, that is, the Communist Party itself,
will decide if he can really resolve it."
Li Shanjian comments there is the opportunity to eliminate
Jiang’s power.
But, the determination of the Central to resolve
the long-standing problems of the Communist Party itself
takes courage.
