【新唐人2014年11月29日讯】徐才厚和周永康落马后，一度传出习近平、王岐山阵营“打虎”遇到了阻力。不过，中共党媒日前高调报导，习近平主导的“反腐”运动，已经获得中共离退休官员的支持。分析认为，这表明未来查处江派的速度或者会加快。
中共媒体《新华网》26号报导，习近平在北京会见了参加中共离退休官员表彰大会的老官员代表，习近平在发表讲话时强调，离退休老官员对惩治腐败是坚定支持的。
中国资深法学专家赵远明：“习近平实际上讲这个话，就是为了更多的争取老干部，在反腐过程中对他给予支持，这样他好腾出力量，集中打击江派的贪腐人员。因为你看习近平反贪腐的话，抓了那么多省部级官员，这个在共产党历史上还是很少见的。那么也就看到他遇到的阻力，反抗甚至也是很严重的，所以他需要各方面的支持。”
赵远明表示，习近平这次表态，似乎向外界表明“反腐”背后有着强大的支援，局面仍在他的掌控之中，未来查处江派的速度或者会加快。
赵远明：“你看现在红二代几乎大部分人在挺习近平，现在他再把离退休干部抓过来，那么在中国官场就是说领导层，他就可以得到大部分人的支持。所以他反贪腐看来，不是一阵，看来还要继续深入下去。否则的他不会搞这么多支持者，因为他要继续的话，他要有力量，要有人支持，不管是从舆论上、行动上、组织上。争取各方面的势力，各方面人马对他的支持。”
习近平自上台以来，掀起“反腐”风暴，已有数十名省部级高官落马，其中很多是江派要员，包括中共政治局前常委周永康、前军委副主席徐才厚、前中共政协副主席苏荣等人。
7月29号，周永康被中共立案审查后，8月起，中纪委密集针对江泽民老家江苏、老巢上海、发迹地一汽集团等地巡视，外界认为，反腐运动逼向“终极大老虎”江泽民。
8月底，大陆媒体密集报导，退休后“不问政事，安享晚年”的前中共元老，如：万里、田纪云、宋平、朱镕基、李瑞环，以及刚刚卸任的胡锦涛、温家宝等人，或以露面，或以写文章的形式，不断抨击江泽民“老人干政”，传递支持习近平的信号。
而“红二代”方面，除了2月份就有几百名“红二代”在一个新年团拜会上，力挺习近平“打老虎”；11月初，再有近百名“红二代”在北京座谈时，力挺习近平、王岐山反贪；11月下旬，数十位中共军队元老的子女，在一次军中纪念活动中，对习近平“反腐”表示支持。
美国中文杂志《北京之春》主编胡平指出，“反腐”虽然获得了各方势力的支持，但中共是制度性的腐败，十官九贪，是“反腐”将面临的更大问题。
美国中文杂志《北京之春》主编胡平：“他一方面要让大家相信他‘反腐’是真格的，不管你权力多大，你腐败就要反你。另一方面他肯定、他必须又要让党内一大批这些元老和一些官员相信，这些‘反腐’败没你们的事，你们来支持我。”
旅澳原大陆史学教授李元华表示，中共“反腐”只能靠一批贪官去整另一批贪官，如果让大家相信只要腐败就会被挨整，连整人的都没有了。
旅澳原大陆史学教授李元华：“真正老百姓是希望反腐的，但他这个‘反腐’并不能彻底的反腐，因为共产党本身是一个专制极权的，它并不是一个开放的，或者文明的一个政体，所以它的腐败本来就是，只要共产党专制统治存在，这个腐败就会存在。”
李元华表示，只有抛弃共产党独裁体制、走上民主道路，中国才会真正有希望。

Xi Jinping ‘s Handshakes With Retired Officials
Could Speed Up Anti-Corruption Campaign
After the downfall of Xu Caihou and Zhou Yongkang, the
anti-corruption campaign of Xi Jinping and Wang Qishan
has been said to have met resistance.
Recent Communist mouthpieces hyped the retired officials ‘
firm support of the campaign.
Analysts believe the investigation of the remaining Jiang faction
could be accelerated.
Xinhua reported on Nov. 26, in the awards ceremony of the
retired Communist official, Xi Jinping addressed that, the
retired officials are firm supporters of punishing corruption.
Senior legal expert Zhao Yuanming:" Xi Jinping ‘s talk was to
win the veteran cadres ‘ support of his anti-corruption
movement, so that he could free up forces to focus
on defeating the Jiang faction.
Xi Jinping ‘s anti-corruption has sacked many provincial
and ministerial level officials.
It is quite rare in the history of the CCP.
The resistance he met is certainly severe.
He needs all the support he can get."
Zhao Yuanming believes Xi Jinping ‘s statement suggested there
is strong support behind anti-corruption and everything
is under control.
The investigation of the Jiang faction is anticipated
to speed up.
Zhao Yuanming:" You can see most second generation Communist
high officials, or the Red Juniors, are in
support of Xi Jinping.
Now with the support of the retired cadres, that means the
support from the leadership of the Communist officialdom.
His campaign is likely to continue to go deep because he needs
the strength and the support from all aspects.
Including the people, the public opinion, the action,
the institution, and all forces, he needs them all."
Since Xi Jinping took office, dozens of provincial and
ministerial level officials were sacked
due to his anti-corruption campaign.
Many of them are significant figures of the Jiang faction.
This includes former Politburo standing committee
Zhou Yongkang, former vice chairman of the Central Military
Commission Xu Caihou, and former vice chairman of the
Political Consultative Conference Su Rong.
When Zhou Yongkang ‘s case was filed for investigation on
July 29, the Central Inspection teams followed with intensive
inspection visits, from Jiang Zemin ‘s hometown in Jiangsu, his
lair in Shanghai, to his old employer the FAW Group.
This move is believed to corner the
“ultimate big tiger", Jiang Zemin.
In late August, mainland media hyped up criticism on
Jiang Zemin ‘s intervening in the political realm and support
for Xi Jinping from numerous retired Communist veterans.
Included are Wan Li, Tian Jiyun, Song Ping, Zhu Rongji,
Li Ruihuan, and Hu Jintao.
They either made public appearances or published statements.
As for the Red Juniors, hundreds of them vowed their support
to ‘hit the tiger ‘ in a Chinese New Year gathering in February.
In a Beijing forum in early November, nearly 100 of them
voiced their support to the campaign;
In late November, dozens of military Red Juniors showed their
support at an event during military commemoration.
Beijing Spring Magazine editor Hu Ping indicates that, even
though the anti-corruption campaign has earned much support,
the systematic corruption, i.e., 90% of officials are corrupt,
is the bigger issue the CCP is faced with.
Hu Ping:" On the one hand, he wants people to believe
anti-corruption is real and targets even the high powers.
On the other hand, he assures the veteran cadres and the
party officials that they are safe, they need to support him."
Former Professor of history Li Yuanhua says that the campaign
relies on a group of corrupt ones to punish another
group of corrupt ones.
If people are made to believe that any corrupt one is bound to
be punished, there is no one to conduct the punishment.
Professor Li Yuanhua: 、"The people want to fight the corruption.
But the anti-corruption won ‘t be thorough.
The totalitarian ways of the CCP are not open or civilized. “
As long as the Communist dictatorship
exists, corruption exists.
Li Yuanhua believes China ‘s future relies on abandoning the
CCP dictatorship and moving towards true democracy.
