【新唐人2014年08月02日讯】周永康案公开后,日前,来自北京高层的消息说,由于多方面原因,中共党魁习近平已经正式启动对前党魁江泽民的调查。其中重要的原因就是:江派势力在调查前政治局常委周永康、和前中央军委副主席徐才厚的过程中,不断搅局,嚣张的有些过头了。
来自北京高层的消息说,北京当局接连拿下薄熙来、徐才厚、周永康,这些江泽民刻意培养的重要手下,江派则不择手段的加以阻挠与反扑,甚至公开在媒体叫板,促使习近平下决心早日启动对江泽民的调查。
北京的消息指称,江派势力曾经策划暗杀习近平,如果习近平不一查到底,只会惹祸上身。
北京时政观察人士华颇:“周永康、徐才厚来讲,都是小道消息来引导,最后官方来证实小道消息是真的。江泽民很老没有影响力,起码他是一块招牌,江泽民旁边的人拿江泽民撑腰打气,最关键时刻(他)还会出来给大家说话帮忙的。”
回顾从薄熙来落马到拿下周永康,期间有许多政治传闻,虽然被当局一概贴上“谣言”标签,但事后往往被证实是“遥遥领先的预言”,或是派系斗争中,某一方放出来的消息。许多传闻显示江派试图阻挠的痕迹。
例如前年3月,薄熙来被免除职务后,网路曾传出,军车深夜进城照片,城内一度响起枪声。
海外媒体引用接近中南海的消息说,这是周永康动用京城能控制的武警,试图发动政变,但被中央挫败。
海外媒体的报导还说,周永康在政变行动失败后,又在前年夏季“北戴河会议”前后,至少两次试图暗杀习近平。一次是在会议室放置计时炸弹,另一次是趁习到解放军三0一医院体检时,企图对他“施打毒针”。习近平因此一度移居北京“西山军事指挥中心”,以防不测。这一传言,正好吻合去年8月底到9月14号,习近平突然在公众视线中消失的那段期间。
另据大陆资深记者高瑜撰文披露:去年1月,习近平和中纪委书记王岐山推出“老虎和苍蝇一起打”的口号,计划要查处一名“十七大”常委、两名政治局委员和一名前书记处书记。当时江泽民对王岐山破口大骂,“打虎计划”后来搁浅。
除了民间的传言,中共喉舌媒体,也不时有江派反扑的痕迹。
例如,当反腐之火延烧到前中共公安部部长李东生的后院——《中央电视台》时,《央视》名嘴敬一丹接受《南方周末》采访时,暗讽习近平﹕“打虎你还得问问自己,是不是武松”等。
甚至,在周永康案已经被正式公布立案调查之后,中国国内媒体的报导还是相当受限制。喉舌媒体在“打掉周永康,是不是反腐句号”的报导上,显得犹豫不决。
总部设在美国“加州大学伯克莱分校”的《中国数字时代》网站披露,中共宣传部下发了限制报导周永康案件的指令,其中包括:撤下《人民网》7月29号刊发的文章——《打掉“大老虎”周永康,不是反腐句号》,并且规定不得转发和炒作这篇文章。
尽管如此,近期还是有中共媒体发出“追打周永康背后更大老虎”的信号。
旅美时政评论家李天笑:“习近平这个打虎也是,江派不断的进行反扑,进行搅水,促使习近平不断的进行反扑措施,结果今天虎越打越大,最后我看江泽民也没有几天蹦的了。”
北京学者吴祚来认为,中共元老邓小平和江泽民一手扶植的权贵资本主义,在中国造就了制度性腐败的悲剧。
如果中共已经“制度性腐败”,如何“制度性反腐”呢?如果真的要打老虎,已退休和现任的中共领导人中,更大的老虎还有的是。那么,在一路打虎的过程中,习近平将如何面对这个产生腐败的制度?这些问题不仅让中国百姓深思,更引发海外媒体的持续关注。

Xi Jinping angered? Rumors Say Investigation on Jiang Zemin Launched
After the news of investigating Zhou Yongkang was published,
a few days ago, news from Beijing high levels has come out.
Due to various reasons, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Head
Xi Jinping has officially launched an investigation against
the former CCP Head Jiang Zemin.
One of the key reasons is: Jiang’s faction has been constantly
stirring the situation into chaos in an
excessively arrogant way.
During the period of investigating the former Politburo
Standing Committee member Zhou Yongkang and the former
Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission Xu Caihou.
The news from Beijing high levels said that during the process
Beijing Authorities successively arrested Bo Xilai, Xu Caihou
and Zhou Yongkang, who were all deliberately
trained by Jiang Zemin.
Jiang’s faction unscrupulously obstructed and counterattacked,
and even publicly challenged in the media, triggering
Xi Jinping to decide to launch the investigation
against Jiang Zemin earlier.
The news from Beijing alleged that Jiang’s faction
had planned to assassinate President Xi Jinping.
If Xi Jinping does not investigate it thoroughly,
then he will get into trouble.
Beijing politics watcher Mr Hua Po: Zhou Yongkang’s case and
Xu Caihou’s case were first reported and guided by the news
for example in tabloids, eventually the whispers were all
confirmed by the official media.
Jiang Zemin is very old and he has no influence.
But he is at least a sign and followers surrounding him used
his name to support and bolster themselves.
Especially, in the most critical moments (he) will stand up
and speak for everyone in his faction.
Considering the past cases from the arrest of Bo Xilai to
the arrest of Zhou Yongkang, there are many political news items,
which are labelled with “rumors" by the authorities.
However, afterwards they are often proved to be “ahead of
the prophecy", or released information by one side
during the factional struggle.
Many rumours showed traces of Jiang’s faction
trying to stop the investigation.
For example, two years ago in March, after Bo Xilai was
dismissed from office, on the Internet it was spread that
some photos show military vehicles entering into the city late
at night and that gunfire was even heard in the city.
Overseas media cited that the news sources which are close
to Zhongnanhai, said that this was Zhou Yongkang commanding
the military police in Beijing City and he was trying to
launch a coup, but was defeated by the Central Government.
Overseas media reports said after Zhou Yongkang’s
coup failed, around summer time at the “Beidaihe Meeting"
in 2012, Zhou Yongkang had at least another two attempts
to assassinate President Xi Jinping.
The first time was to place a time bomb in the conference
room, and another was when Xi Jinping went for a medical check
in hospital 301 of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), he was
almost injected with poisoned needle.
Hence Xi Jinping had to relocate to Bejing “Xishan Military
Command Centre" in order to prevent any unexpected accident.
Such a piece of news coincided with the period from the end of
August to September 14, when Xi Jinping suddenly
disappeared from public sight.
According to senior reporter Gao Yu in mainland, he disclosed:
in January of 2013, Xi Jinping and Wang Qishan launched a
movement named, “To oppress the tigers and flies together".
They planed to investigate one member of the Politburo
Standing Committee, two members of the Politburo
and one former Secretary of the Secretariat.
At that time Jiang Zemin shouted at Wang Qishan,
The “Tiger Scheme" was later stranded.
In addition to the non-official civilian saying, the CCP
mouthpiece media have even been marked
with Jiang’s faction’s counterattack.
For example, when the fire of anti-corruption spread to the
backyard of former Minister of Public Security Li Dongsheng ,
the “CCTV" Oprah Jing Yidan accepted the “Southern Weekend"
interview and innuendo of Xi Jinping.
He remarked: To be qualified on hitting the tiger,
you have to ask yourself, am I a hero like Wusong or
someone like that?
Even after the case of Zhou Yongkang had been officially
announced for an investigation, the reports in the media
in China were still quite restricted.
When the mouthpiece media reported the news:
Arresting Zhou Yongkang is not a full stop on corruption.
They appeared hesitant.
Headquartered in the United States, located at University of
California, Berkeley, China Digital Times Web site disclosed,
the CCP Propaganda Department issued instructions
to limit the reporting of Zhou Yongkang.
For example, an article dated on People’s Daily Website on
July 29 was removed which is titled, “Arresting “the major
tiger" Zhou Yongkang is not a full stop on corruption".
It is stipulated that this article shall not
be forwarded and hyped up.
Nevertheless, there are still CCP media recently issuing
the signal of “Chasing the bigger tiger behind Zhou Yongkang".
US-based political critic Tianxiao Li:
When Xi Jinping carries out the anti-corruption, Jiang’s
faction constantly counterattacks and stirs up chaos.
This has prompted Xi Jinping to constantly
execute counterattacking measures.
As a result, today’s arrested tigers are bigger and larger.
In my opinion, Jiang Zemin had no more time
for performing himself.
Beijing scholar Wu Zuolai believes that crony capitalism
was developed by one Chinese patriarch Deng Xiaoping
and Jiang Zemin, who produced the tragedy
of institutional corruption in China.
If the CCP have “systemic corruption", so “how" do you
undertake the institutional corruption from within?
If they really want the Tiger, among the retired and current
Communist leaders, there should be larger tigers.
So, in the process of fighting against the Tigers, how will
Xi Jinping be able to deal with this corruption of the system?
These problems not only make Chinese people deeply think,
but also led to sustained attention to overseas media.
