【新唐人2014年12月30日讯】日前，中共人大常委会通过决议，任命宣传部常务副部长雒树刚为文化部长，接替担任这项职务将近7年的蔡武。而65岁的蔡武也刚好到了退休年龄，不过，这个刚好发生在对文化部专项巡视结束之际的免职，还是引起了外界的关注。文宣系统突然的人事调动，是否背后还有深意呢？一起来听听下面的分析报导。
12月28号，中共人大常委会会议表决，任命中共中央宣传部常务副部长雒树刚为文化部部长。
公开资料显示，雒树刚现年59岁，河北省南宫人，历任《求是》杂志社政治理论部主任、中共中央宣传部副秘书长等职，长期从事中共意识形态宣传工作。
雒树刚在2000年任中共中央宣传部副部长兼秘书长，2008年任宣传部常务副部长、兼任中共中央精神文明建设指导委员会办公室主任，并在2012年当选中共第18届中央委员会委员。
接任文化部部长之前的雒树刚已经是正部级官员，所以这次的任命相当于是平调。
香港《明报》报导认为，文化部部长多由中宣部副部长兼任，但排名低于中宣部常务副部长。雒树刚接任文化部长，很可能意味着他将卸任中宣部常务副部长一职，实际地位受贬。而被视为习近平亲信的现任中宣部副部长黄坤明，将很有可能升任常务副部长，成为正部级官员。
雒树刚的前任蔡武，2008年3月被任命为文化部长、中共中宣部副部长。此前，蔡武还先后担任过中共中央对外联络部副部长，以及国务院新闻办主任等职务。
中共官方的简短报导并没有说明为何选在此时做人事调动，也没有提及蔡武的仕途去向。由于蔡武今年已经65岁，外界有猜测认为他是因为已届退休年龄而卸任。
不过，也有分析指出，蔡武突然离职的背后原因，可能不只是年龄问题那么简单。
12月3号，大陆各大门户网站，突然刊登一条有关前中共党魁江泽民，“视察参观国家博物馆并题词”的新闻。诡异的是，这起发生在10月3号的旧闻，事隔两个月后才被报导。而且《新华网》、《人民网》等中央级别的党媒都没有提及此事。据报导，当时陪同江泽民参观博物馆的官员中，就包括蔡武。
10月15号，中共现任总书记习近平在北京主持召开文艺工作座谈会，并在发言中列举大陆文艺创作存在的诸多问题，明显否定了当今的文艺现状。当时就有评论认为，习近平的讲话，犹如给了掌控中共宣传口的江派常委刘云山一记重锤。
另外，蔡武被免职的时间点，恰好是历时一个月的专项巡视文化部结束之际。
据《人民日报》11月29号报导，2014年中共中央第三轮巡视工作正式启动。文化部、环保部和中国国际广播电台等，都是巡视的对像。
而第三轮巡视目标，是由习近平亲自拍板确定的。
时政评论员夏小强认为，蔡武去职发生在习近平文艺座谈会，以及中纪委巡视文化部之后，应该不是偶然现象。
时政评论员夏小强：“习近平在军队拿下大老虎徐才厚之后，紧握住了‘枪杆子’，如今对习近平造成最大阻力的就是江派的利益代言人刘云山掌控的‘笔杆子’。现在，中共文宣系统的异动，就是习近平针对刘云山的动作。在日前中纪委进驻包括中宣部在内中央一级机构之后，很可能习近平对刘云山控制行动的程序已经开始启动。”
雒树刚和蔡武两人在中宣部领导层共事长达9年半之久，均被外界认为和刘云山有相当多的交集。至于接替蔡武的雒树刚，究竟能在文化部部长这个位子上坐多久，值得外界观察。

What is Behind the Substitution of the Minister of Culture?
Recently, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) People’s
Congress passed a resolution to appoint the current
Deputy Minister of Propaganda Department, Luo Shugang
as the Deputy Minister of Culture.
Luo is to succeed Cai Wu, who has been in this position
for seven years.
Although 65-year-old Cai Wu is at retirement age, this
substitution caused the outside world to pay attention .
It happened just after the special inspections of
the Ministry of Culture.
It may be there is a meaning behind the sudden personnel
change in the propaganda system.
Let us take a look at the following analysis report.
On Dec. 28, the CCP Standing Committee meeting voted on
the appointment of the Central Propaganda Department
Deputy Minister Luo Shugang as the Minister of Culture.
Public information showed, Luo Shugang is 59-years-old,
originally from Hebei Nangong.
Luo served as director of political theory of the “Seeking
Truth" magazine, and deputy secretary general of the
Central Propaganda Department, which have long been
engaged in CCP ideology and propaganda work.
In 2000 Luo served as Deputy Secretary-General and
Deputy Minister of the Central Propaganda Department.
In 2008 he was Deputy Minister of the Propaganda
Department, at the same time as Office Director of
the Spiritual Civilization Steering Committee of the
CCP Central Committee Office.
He was elected as a member of the 18th CCP Central
Committee in 2012.
Luo was already a ministerial level official before
taking over the Minister of Culture.
This appointment is equivalent to his previous level.
Hong Kong “Ming Pao" believes the Minister of Culture is
usually taken by the Deputy Minister of Propaganda.
It ranks lower than the Deputy Minister of Propaganda.
Luo took over as Minister of Culture.
It likely means that he will step down the position of
Deputy Minister of the Central Propaganda Department;
His actual status is dismissed.
Huang Kunming is Vice Minister of Propaganda. He is
regarded as a confidant of Xi Jinping.
Huang will likely be promoted to Deputy Minister and
become the ministerial-level official.
Current affairs commentator Xing Tianxing, “Xi Jinping in
combating corruption is using anti-corruption to deal with
some of the negative equity from Jiang Zemin’s faction.
He wants to remove those people who set up obstacles
in the fields of culture and cause corruption in all fields."
Luo’s predecessor Cai Wu, was appointed as Minister of
Culture, Deputy Minister of the CCP Central Propaganda
Department in March 2008.
Previously, Cai Wu has also served as Deputy Minister of
International Department of the Central Committee of the
Communist Party of China and the State Council Information
Office and other duties.
The CCP official’s brief report didn’t explain why the staff
change happened at this time.
Cai Wu’s career was not mentioned either.
Because Cai Wu is 65-years-old, the outside world speculated
it’s because he has reached retirement age and will retire.
However, some analysts pointed out that the reasons behind
the sudden leave of Cai Wu, may not just be his age.
On Dec. 3, mainland major websites, suddenly published
news of a former CCP leader Jiang Zemin “Inspection visit
to the National Museum and the Inscription".
Strangely, this old news actually occurred on Oct. 3, and after
a lapse of two months, has now been reported.
Xinhua, People.cn and other central-level media did not
mention this matter.
According to the report, one of the officials that went
with Jiang Zemin on the visit to the museum was Cai Wu.
On Oct. 15, the incumbent general secretary of the CCP
Xi Jinping hosted a forum of the literary work in Beiing.
He cited many problems exist in mainland literary circles.
At that time there are comments that Xi’s speech, is to
throw Liu Yunshan, in control of CCP propaganda and
Jiang faction Standing Committee, a heavy hammer.
When Cai Wu was deposed was the end of the month-long
tour of the special inspection of the Ministry of Culture.
According to “People’s Daily" report on Nov. 29, the CCP
Central Committee officially launched the third round of
inspections. Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Environmental
Protection and China Radio International, are on the list.
The goal of the third round of inspections is determined
and finalized by Xi Jinping.
Current affairs commentator Xia Xiaoqiang believes Cai Wu’s
resignation occurs after the forum of literary work, as well as
the commission visit to the Ministry of Culture. This should
not be a coincidence.
Current affairs commentator Xia Xiaoqiang, “After Xi Jinping
took down the big tiger Xu Caihou, he grasped the “gun";
Currently the greatest resistance to Xi is Jiang faction’s
interest spokesman Liu Yunshan, in control of the “pen".
Now, the changes in the CCP propaganda system are the
actions against Liu Yunshan."
After the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI)
were stationed at central level institutions including the
Central Propaganda Department, it seems Xi’s control actions
program against Liu Yunshan has likely started.
Luo and Cai are co-workers for nine and a half years in the
Central Propaganda Department.
They both have a lot of common ground with Liu Yunshan.
How long can Luo sit in this seat of the Minister of Culture?
It is worth observing by the outside world.
