【新唐人2014年08月04日讯】拿下周永康是中共反腐运动的一个高潮。但是中共媒体坚决表示,调查周永康不标志着“反腐运动的结束”。在宣布周永康被调查的第二天,中纪委就派出阵容强大的巡视组进驻上海,而上海是中共前任党魁江泽民的权力大本营。北京政治学者指出,上海帮对现任党魁习近平,是个很大的威胁,必须连根拔除。
英国《金融时报》7月31号报导,习近平的“打老虎运动”并没有打到周永康为止,而是开始扩展到中国的商业首都、前中共领导人江泽民的老巢——上海。江泽民在1989年成为中共中央总书记之前,是上海市委书记,他和现在仍然掌有很大实权的手下们被称为“上海帮”。
《金融时报》引述中共高层内部消息人士的话报导说,习近平对于江泽民在中共党内和军中无所不在的影响非常不满。
原中国人民大学政治系主任冷杰甫:“江泽民不是捣乱吗?他退出历史舞台他不甘心失败。他现在不支持他。而且还制造障碍。对反腐说长论短。什么别往下搞了,别搞到他头上去了。曾庆红还有江泽民的儿子两个人都在捣乱,所以必须搞清楚。一个是曾庆红、一个是江绵恒,这两个人两把刀子,这两个人对习近平是个威胁。目前中央派巡视组到那里去,意思就在这儿,挖根!连根拔除!不拔除不得安宁,不得安稳。”
冷杰甫估计,进驻上海的巡视组,可能会查出一些问题来。但是前中共国家副主席曾庆红和江泽民的儿子江绵恒两人,希望习近平网开一面。
冷杰甫:“周永康(案)把这个问题提到日程上来了,把上海的问题提到日程上来了。所以要清查周永康的问题,离不开曾庆红,离不开江泽民。因为江泽民是主席,曾庆红是副主席。周永康也是七大常委之一。所以要清查周永康,必然要清查上海,要把上海的问题搞清楚。”
在此之前,“打老虎运动”已经涉及了数个与江泽民有密切关系的官员。
《金融时报》文章指出,另一个最新的例子是“上海光明食品集团”前董事长王宗南,他涉嫌受贿和挪用公款,上周一已开始进行调查。
“上海光明食品集团”的前身,是上海“益民食品”一厂,而江泽民在1950年代曾是“益民食品”一厂的第一副厂长,之后,江泽民一直与这个集团保持密切的私人关系。外界把此案看作是对江泽民的一个明确警告。
日本东京的网上杂志《外交家》8月1号报导说,作为中国的商业中心,上海可能是具有商业头脑的公务员们中饱私囊的最佳地方。但是令人好奇的是,至今为止大范围的反腐运动还没有触及上海。但这个情况将会发生改变。把上海作为新的焦点可能暗示,习近平将目光锁定在一个比周永康更高的目标:前中共党魁江泽民。
八十年代曾经在中共中央体改委任职的曹思源表示,他感觉上海肯定有很多问题,过去没有暴露,但是现在看来有机会暴露了。
原中共中央体改委干部曹思源:“过去封锁的厉害。毫无疑问周永康是江泽民的人。周永康对上海也是有所保护的,保护他的老巢。现在周永康倒了,保护啊封锁啊,就无效了,就有机会揭露他的本来面目。”
美国《华尔街日报》报导,过去在上海的反腐运动,曾经波及这个国家的政治结构。上一届中共领导人胡锦涛在2006年派遣巡视组,到一家标志性的上海酒店,在几个月里,他们通过一个大范围腐败调查,拆卸了当地领导层。这场运动撂倒了当时的上海市委书记、政治局委员陈良宇,并判处他18年徒刑。
《金融时报》报导说,中纪委派往上海的大型反腐调查组的负责人,是一名土生土长的北京人,而调查组是被中央直接派往上海的,可见这次任务的重要性。

Inspection Group Stationed in Shanghai: Xi Jiping Means to Uproot “Shanghai Gang"?
Taking down Zhou Yongkang is a climax
of the party's Anti-Corruption Campaign.
But state-run media firmly stated that
Zhou Yongkang is not the end of the campaign.
On the second day after the announcement of
Zhou Yongkang's investigation,
the CCP Central Commission for Discipline Inspection
sent an inspection team to Shanghai.
Shanghai is the stronghold of former president Jiang Zemin.
Scholar of Political Science from Beijing pointed out that
“Shanghai Gang" is a huge threat to the current party head
Xi Jinping, and has to be uprooted.
“Financial Times" reported on July 31 that
Xi Jinping's “anti-corruption campaign"
didn't end with Zhou Yongkang.
Instead, it’s about to be unleashed on Shanghai,
the country's commercial capital and
stronghold of former president Jiang Zemin.
Before Jiang was made president in 1989,
he was Communist Party boss of Shanghai and
his still-powerful faction is known as the “Shanghai Gang".
“Financial Times" cited some political insider that
Xi is incensed by Jiang's pervasive lingering influence
in both the party and the military.
Leng Jiefu, former director of Department of Political Science,
Renmin University of China:
“Hasn't Jiang been creating disturbances?
He is not willing to quit the stage.
He doesn't support anti-corruption but creates obstacles.
He also made various comments on the anti-corruption.
If the campaign continues, it'll be his turn to be raked up.
Zeng Qinghong and Jiang's two sons are all creating disturbances.
Zeng Qinghong and Jiang Mianheng are both threats to Xi Jinping.
Now the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection
has arrived in Shanghai.
It means that the roots of trouble have to be eradicated.
Otherwise, things can never be peaceful. “
Leng Jiefu estimated that the inspection group will probably
find something problematic over there.
But Zeng Qinghong and Jiang Mianheng might hope that
Xi Jinping can let them slip through the net.
Leng Jiefu: “Zhou Yongkang's case has pushed
Shanghai's problems onto the agenda.
In order to investigate Zhou Yongkang,
Zeng Qinghong and Jiang Zemin have to be touched.
Jiang Zemin was Chairman and Zeng Qinghong was Vice Chairman.
Zhou Yongkang was one of the 7 members of Standing Committee.
In order to investigate Zhou Yongkang completely,
Shanghai has to be investigated too.
It's time to straighten things up in Shanghai."
Earlier anti-corruption investigations have already targeted
several people with close ties to Jiang Zemin.
“Financial Times" gave a most recent example.
Wang Zongnan, former chairman of Bright Food Co,
is suspected of accepting bribes and embezzling public funds
and has been investigated since last Monday.
The predecessor company of “Shanghai Bright Food Co"
was called “Shanghai Yimin Food 1st Factory".
Jiang Zemin worked at “Yimin Food" in the early 1950s and
has maintained a close personal connection with it ever since.
The investigation is being seen as a clear warning to Mr Jiang.
On August 1 , The online Japanese magazine “The Diplomats"
reported that as China's commercial hub,
Shanghai might be the most natural place
for business-minded government workers to enrich themselves.
However, the wide-ranging anti-corruption campaign
has left Shanghai curiously untouched, which is about to change.
The new focus on Shanghai may indicate that Xi Jinping
has his sights set on an even higher target than Zhou Yongkang:
former president Jiang Zemin.
Cao Siyuan, who used to work in the party's
Central Reform Committee in 1980s,
feels that there are so many problems in Shanghai,
which haven't been exposesed before. Now it's the time.
Cao Siyuan: “In the past, information was severely censored.
Without doubt, Zhou Yongkang is part of Jiang's faction.
Zhou Yongkang also kept Shanghai untouched before.
Now Zhou falls down, protection or censorship
is not effective anymore.
It's a chance to reveal its true nature."

The Wall Street Journal reported that the past corruption
sweeping through Shanghai had rippled through
the nation's political structure.
Under China's previous administration,
then-President Hu Jintao in 2006
dispatched inspectors to a landmark city hotel where over
several months they all but dismantled the local leadership
in a wide-ranging corruption probe.
The effort toppled the party's then-top local official,
Politburo member Chen Liangyu,
who was later ordered to serve 18 years in prison on corruption charges.
“Financial Times" reported that the head of the inspection group
dispatched to Shanghai is a Beijing native.
The team was sent directly from the capital,
an indication of the seriousness of their mission.
