【新唐人2014年12月30日訊】日前，中共人大常委會通過決議，任命宣傳部常務副部長雒樹剛為文化部長，接替擔任這項職務將近7年的蔡武。而65歲的蔡武也剛好到了退休年齡，不過，這個剛好發生在對文化部專項巡視結束之際的免職，還是引起了外界的關注。文宣系統突然的人事調動，是否背後還有深意呢？一起來聽聽下面的分析報導。

12月28號，中共人大常委會會議表決，任命中共中央宣傳部常務副部長雒樹剛為文化部部長。

公開資料顯示，雒樹剛現年59歲，河北省南宮人，歷任《求是》雜誌社政治理論部主任、中共中央宣傳部副秘書長等職，長期從事中共意識形態宣傳工作。

雒樹剛在2000年任中共中央宣傳部副部長兼秘書長，2008年任宣傳部常務副部長、兼任中共中央精神文明建設指導委員會辦公室主任，並在2012年當選中共第18屆中央委員會委員。

接任文化部部長之前的雒樹剛已經是正部級官員，所以這次的任命相當於是平調。

香港《明報》報導認為，文化部部長多由中宣部副部長兼任，但排名低於中宣部常務副部長。雒樹剛接任文化部長，很可能意味著他將卸任中宣部常務副部長一職，實際地位受貶。而被視為習近平親信的現任中宣部副部長黃坤明，將很有可能升任常務副部長，成為正部級官員。

雒樹剛的前任蔡武，2008年3月被任命為文化部長、中共中宣部副部長。此前，蔡武還先後擔任過中共中央對外聯絡部副部長，以及國務院新聞辦主任等職務。

中共官方的簡短報導並沒有說明為何選在此時做人事調動，也沒有提及蔡武的仕途去向。由於蔡武今年已經65歲，外界有猜測認為他是因為已屆退休年齡而卸任。

不過，也有分析指出，蔡武突然離職的背後原因，可能不只是年齡問題那麼簡單。

12月3號，大陸各大門戶網站，突然刊登一條有關前中共黨魁江澤民，「視察參觀國家博物館並題詞」的新聞。詭異的是，這起發生在10月3號的舊聞，事隔兩個月後才被報導。而且《新華網》、《人民網》等中央級別的黨媒都沒有提及此事。據報導，當時陪同江澤民參觀博物館的官員中，就包括蔡武。

10月15號，中共現任總書記習近平在北京主持召開文藝工作座談會，並在發言中列舉大陸文藝創作存在的諸多問題，明顯否定了當今的文藝現狀。當時就有評論認為，習近平的講話，猶如給了掌控中共宣傳口的江派常委劉雲山一記重鎚。

另外，蔡武被免職的時間點，恰好是歷時一個月的專項巡視文化部結束之際。

據《人民日報》11月29號報導，2014年中共中央第三輪巡視工作正式啟動。文化部、環保部和中國國際廣播電臺等，都是巡視的對像。

而第三輪巡視目標，是由習近平親自拍板確定的。

時政評論員夏小強認為，蔡武去職發生在習近平文藝座談會，以及中紀委巡視文化部之後，應該不是偶然現象。

時政評論員夏小強：「習近平在軍隊拿下大老虎徐才厚之後，緊握住了『槍桿子』，如今對習近平造成最大阻力的就是江派的利益代言人劉雲山掌控的『筆桿子』。現在，中共文宣系統的異動，就是習近平針對劉雲山的動作。在日前中紀委進駐包括中宣部在內中央一級機構之後，很可能習近平對劉雲山控制行動的程序已經開始啟動。」

雒樹剛和蔡武兩人在中宣部領導層共事長達9年半之久，均被外界認為和劉雲山有相當多的交集。至於接替蔡武的雒樹剛，究竟能在文化部部長這個位子上坐多久，值得外界觀察。

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.
