【新唐人2014年12月27日讯】2012年9月，令计划正式交出中共中央办公厅主任的职位，被任命为统战部部长。从此，他的政治生涯就像一片逐渐干枯的树叶，在“打老虎”风暴中飘摇不定，最终没能撑过今年年底。令计划任职的最后一站——“统战部”，是怎样的一个部门呢？请看分析。
在令计划落马第二天，《法国国际广播电台》特约记者曹国星用这样一句话描述了令计划最后的工作日：“和薄熙来在人大记者会上的面对记者秀口才的高调不同，以隐忍闻名的令计划始终未发一言。有消息称，22日他还一个人在统战部食堂用餐。”
香港《文汇报》24号的一篇报导，也对令计划的工作态度进行了描述。《文汇报》引用多名团中央的公务员的话说，令计划“真的是卖命干出来的”。好几名知情人形容令计划专权，“不是他管的地方手也伸得很长。”
诸如此类，在许多媒体的报导中，令计划都是一个隐忍不发，为达到政治野心，不惜时间精力，甚至硬熬住丧子之痛的人。
而给令计划政治生命提供最后机会的，就是他被调任的中共“统战部”。
旅美中国问题观察人士张健：“统战部其实是在中共领导下的一个职能部门。它对国内所有的民主党派，还有海外的社团，以及各民主党派组织的负责人，还有宗教团体，各个信仰团体，少数民族，还有像港、澳、台，来输送中共的利益。”
作为对外扩张和渗透中共意识形态的部门之一，统战部往往采取“柔性手段”，对海外侨团、学生会、非政府组织施加影响。根据“追查迫害法轮功国际组织”之前的报告，在世界各国设立分部的“中国和平统一促进会”（CCPPR），号称民间组织，实际是统战部下属的统战机构。而遍布12个国家大学的中国学生学者联谊会（CSSA），很多都接受中共驻当地使领馆的“领导”。
时事评论员伍凡：“过去利用统一战线来对付第三者，它把知识份子，学者统一过来，来对付国民党。现在对付谁呢？现在在美国，把华人拉过来以后，对付美国。或者说把一部分人拉过来，对付法轮功﹔把一部分人拉过来，对付基督教。”
而令计划在担任统战部部长以后，“柔软出击”的统战部在不少大事件里都闪现出身形。
例如，前北大教授袁红冰今年6月28号在新书发表会上披露，台湾太阳花学运重创中共统战台湾的阴谋，中共国台办主任张志军按计划访台，拜会高雄市长陈菊，也凸显共产党一直在推动的一个统战阴谋，就是“国民党的共产党化、民进党的国民党化”。
之后，在今年台湾大选前，英国《路透社》11月27号的一篇文章指出，国台办与大陆统战部门涉入台湾选举甚深，更将台商视为收复台湾的桥头堡。
香港的“雨伞运动”，也让港人惊觉中共统战对香港媒体，和民间社团的渗透。例如打柔情牌的“妈妈团”领头人王惠贞，就被大陆网友曝光，有中共全国政协委员的身份。
而去年一度骚扰香港法轮功真相点的“青关会”，今年7月在纽约法拉盛污蔑法轮功的“红马甲”，8月在台北101前侮辱法轮功学员，宣扬共产主义的台湾“爱国同心会”，更让人权团体认为，令计划上任后，统战部加强了向海外输出迫害法轮功的趋势。
追查国际发言人汪志远：“在他上任以后，在海外对法轮功学员的迫害确实有增加，有升级，是有这样的趋势。”
“追查国际”表示，他们正在整理令计划上任后，统战部对法轮功迫害的证据报告，不久将向公众发布。

Ling Jihua’s Last Stop—The United Front Work Department
In September 2012, Ling Jihua handed over his position as
a General Office chief and was appointed as the minister of
the United Front Work Department (UFWD).
Since then, his political career has been like a dry leaf,
precarious in the anti-corruption or “tiger hunting" campaign
and in the end, he has failed to get through the year.
What is the United Front Work Department?—
Let’s take a look at today’s report.
The day after Ling Jihua’s downfall, Cao Guoxing,
a special correspondent of Radio France Internationale,
described Ling Jihua’s last day of work, saying, “Ling Jihua,
who is known for his tolerance, did not utter a word,
which is totally different from the high-profile Bo Xilai
that showed his eloquence in front of reporters
at the NPC press conference."
“It is said that Ling dined alone in the canteen of the
UFWD on 22 Dec."
Hong Kong’s Wen Wei Po published a report on the 24th,
describing Ling Jihua’s working attitude.
It quoted civil servants of the Communist Youth League (CYL)
Central, saying, Ling “put his life on line to earn his position,"
and insiders describing him as “autocratic", saying,
“he sticks his nose into areas that are not under him."
Many media described Ling as a man with great tolerance,
who put in much time and effort, and withstood the pain of
losing his son in order to achieve his political ambitions.
Ling Jihua’s transfer to the UFWD gave a last chance
for his political life.
Zhang Jian, U.S.-based China Watcher: “The UFWD delivers
the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) interests to all
domestic democratic parties, overseas communities,
religious and faith groups, ethnic minorities,
and to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan."
As a department responsible for the external expansion and
penetration of CCP ideology, UFWD often uses “soft means"
to influence overseas compatriot communities,
student unions and non-governmental organizations.
According to reports by the World Organization to
Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG),
the China Council for the Promotion of Peaceful National
Reunification (CCPPR), with its branches around the world,
while claiming to be a civil organization,
is in fact an agency under the UFWD.
Most Chinese Students’and Scholars Association branches
worldwide are led by local CCP embassies and consulates.
Wu Fan, China Affairs Commentator:
“Who is the UFWD dealing with?"
“In the past, it unified intellectuals and scholars to deal with
the political party, the Kuomintang of China."
“Now it unifies the Chinese in the U.S. to deal with the U.S.,
or some people to deal with the Falun Gong or Christians."
After Ling Jihua became head of the UFWD,
its “soft means" could be seen in many major events.
For instance—on Jun. 28, 2014, Yuan Hongbing, a former
Beijing University professor, revealed that the Sunflower
Student Movement had seriously hurt the conspiracy of
the CCP’s United Front over Taiwan.
And during his visit to Taiwan, Zhang Zhijun, China’s minister
of the Taiwan Affairs Office, met with Chen Chu, Taiwan’s
Kaohsiung City Mayor—also pointing to a conspiracy
by the CCP’s United Front.
The UFWD turned Kuomintang into the CCP and is turning
Taiwan’s Democratic Progressive Party into a Kuomintang.
Before this year’s presidential election in Taiwan, an article
posted on Reuters UK on Nov. 27 pointed out that
the Taiwan Affairs Office is deeply involved in the UFWD’s
influence over Taiwan’s elections, and regards Taiwan’s
businessmen as a bridgehead in recovering Taiwan.
During the Umbrella Movement, the Hong Kong people were
shocked to find that the CCP’s United Front had penetrated
the Hong Kong media and civil society.
For example, Wong Wai-Ching, a leader against
the Umbrella Movement, was exposed by mainland netizens
as being a member of the CPPCC National Committee.
The UFWD has unified groups such as the Hong Kong Youth
Care Association Ltd. who harassed Falun Gong in 2013,
the Red Vest who slandered Falun Gong in Flushing last July,
and Taiwan’s iloveroc who insulted Falun Gong practitioners
in front of the Taipei 101.
Human rights groups believe that since Ling Jihua took office,
the UFWD has strengthened the persecution of Falun Gong.
Wang Zhiyuan, WOIPFG Spokesman: “After Ling took office,
the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners overseas indeed
increased; there have been more cases."
WOIPFG says it is gathering evidence of the UFWD’s
role in persecuting Falun Gong after Ling Jihua took office
and the report will soon be released publicly.
