【新唐人2015年2月4日讯】中国民生银行的行长毛晓峰,最近被纪检部门带走协助调查。外媒称,中共总书记习近平的反腐,已经剑指金融业。同时,短期内不断增持民生银行股票的安邦集团也被国内媒体剖析报导,由于安邦集团具有深厚的红色背景,是否会引发红色商圈震荡,引发关注。
去年8月,毛晓峰刚成为中国一线银行最年轻的总行行长,这个位置坐了不到半年,1月31号他被中纪委带走协助调查,民生银行称他因为“个人原因”辞职。之后,毛晓峰与前中办主任令计划的关系,被媒体挖掘出来。
大陆《新京报》列出两人的两层关系,一、是令计划1994年在湖南大学工商管理学院攻读MBA,毛晓峰是他的系友和同学。二、是毛晓峰从99年至2002年任职共青团,成为令计划的下属。
毛晓峰2002年“空降”民生银行总行,任办公室副主任,去年8月被聘为行长。《新京报》说,民生银行内密设“夫人俱乐部”,多位高官夫人只领工资不上班。毛晓峰曾介绍令计划的妻子谷丽萍,在民生银行旗下公司民生租赁任职3年。
《华尔街日报》3号说,对毛晓峰的调查表明习近平的反腐行动范围扩大。
报导引用知情中共官员的话说,由王岐山领导的中纪委最近成立了一个新部门,主要关注金融业。一位官员说,金融是王岐山的老本行。
时事评论家李天笑:“他每一个贪官后面,肯定有一个或几个金主。再有一个,我觉得习近平现在打到金融界,一个很重要的原因就在于,很多的太子党、红二代,包括跟江派有关的那些红二代,这些人都是在金融界盘踞着。这个是巨大的利益集团。如果不动这块,整个打虎的进程很难推动。”
毛晓峰被调查,可能导致民生银行管理层重新洗牌。最近中国安邦保险集团Anbang Insurance Group Co.不断增持民生银行股份,从去年11月28号开始,短短两个月的时间里,安邦超过10次大举购买民生银行股票,持股比例从5%飙升到目前的22.51%,成为最大控股股东。
不过,安邦自身也处于大陆媒体的放大镜下,安邦强大的政治后台都有谁?巨额资金哪里来?如何能这么快速扩张?由于这两年的反腐中,一直没有公开将如何处理红二代经商,因此安邦也让外界聚焦,红色商业圈是否将受到震荡。
《南方周末》1月29号刊登“安邦实际控制人系陈毅之子 三次获监管层开绿灯”系列报导,揭秘安邦“关键人”为:邓小平的外孙女婿吴小晖,和陈毅之子陈小鲁。文章在国内媒体盛传。
李天笑:“这两个人非常有典型意义。在中共的红二代里面,如果说拿他们两个开刀的话,那就意味着其他人都免不了要被开刀。”
北京时政观察人士华颇:“安邦事件,把陈小鲁和邓家都卷进去,涉及到一些红二代、红三代。我想,习近平也会对这些人的利益进行触碰,就让这些人离开利益场吧。”
但陈小鲁随即否认是安邦的实际控制人。《德国之声》1月31号说,一份流传于中国金融界内部的“内参”消息指出,陈小鲁的最新表态意思,就是安邦保险其实是邓家的,陈家只是打杂的。
随后《南方周末》2月1号道歉说,相关报导信息核实有不实之处。虽然没有具体指出“不实之处”是哪里,但旅居美国的中国学者何清涟,2号在《美国之音》撰文指出,对比另一篇《财新网》刊登的“安邦大冒险”文章,可以明白《南方周末》道歉声明里所谓“信息核实有不实之处”,可能是指吴小晖与邓小平外孙女邓卓苒(即邓楠之女)的婚姻状态。
财新的“安邦大冒险”中说,吴小晖与第三任妻子邓卓苒,目前夫妻关系已确认中止。去年因海外媒体多渲染安邦与邓家的关系,邓家曾小范围开会讨论过安邦的事宜,确认已与邓家无关。
继陈家撇清后,邓家也撇清与安邦的关系,安邦CEO吴小晖是否不妙?在2012年吴小晖还曾被香港媒体爆出,卷入落马的四川省委副书记李春城一案。吴小晖会不会变成红色商圈反腐的“试刀石”,还有待观察。

Minsheng-Anbang Group Troubles May Shake Red Families
China Minsheng Bank President Mao Xiaofeng was
recently taken away for investigation
by the discipline and inspection department.
Foreign media say that Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
General Secretary, Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption movement
is aimed at the financial industry.
Meanwhile, Anbang Insurance Group which has recently
continued increasing its holdings of Minsheng Bank
shares, has also been reported by the domestic media.
Due to its solid red background, whether such an incident
in Anbang Insurance Group will shake the red families
involved in the business domain, raises concerns.
Last August, Mao Xiaofeng became the youngest
president of head office among the Chinese tier banks.
But after less than six months in this post,
on Jan 31st, he was taken away by the Central Commission
of Discipline and Inspection Committee (CCDIC)to
assist its investigations.
Minsheng Bank stated that he resigned
because of “personal reasons".
Afterwards, the relationship between Mao Xiaofeng
and Ling Jihua, former director of the General Office
of the CCP Central Committee,
was revealed by the media.
Mainland “Beijing News" lists the two layers
of the relationship between them.
One is that Mao Xiaofeng was the school fellow of Ling Jihua
when Ling Jihua studied MBA at the College
of Business Administration of Hunan University in 1994.
The second is that Mao Xiaofeng took a position
at the Communist Youth League from 1999 to 2002,
becoming subordinate to Ling Jihua.
Mao Xiaofeng was suddenly appointed Deputy
Director of Minsheng Bank’s head office in 2002,
and promoted to President last August.
“Beijing News" said Minsheng Bank has a confidential
“Wives Club", which refers to many wives of high-rank officials
receiving salaries without doing any work.
Mao Xiaofeng once introduced Ling Jihua’s wife Gu Liping
to a position in the Minsheng Leasing company
of Minsheng Bank for three years.
Joey’s notes: According to the coordinator, this sentence does need to translate
“Wall Street Journal" reported on the 3rd that
the investigation of Mao Xiaofeng shows
that the anti-corruption drive launched by
Xi Jinping was expanding its scope of action.
The report quotes CCP officials who know the inside stories,
a newly formed department of the CCDIC
led by Wang Qishan, focuses on anti-corruption
in the financial sector.
An official said that Wang Qishan used to work
in the financial field and his knowledge of it is good.
Political commentator Li Tianxiao says:
“Every corrupt official must be supported
by one or more fund-providers.
In addition, I think Xi Jinping now takes on anti-corruption
in the financial sector.
One of the very important reasons
is that many of the princelings, 2nd red generation,
including those related to the Jiang faction,
are occupying and controlling the financial sector.
They are a huge interest group. If they are not touched,
the whole process of beating the tiger will be hard to proceed.
Mao Xiaofeng’s investigation may lead to a reshuffle
of Minsheng Bank top executives.
Recently China Anbang Insurance Group Co. has continued
to hold Minsheng Bank shares.
From 28th of last Nov, within just two months, Anbang
Insurance Group bought 10 times more stocks in Minsheng
Bank, upping its holdings from 5% to the current 22.51%,
becoming the largest shareholder.
However, Anbang Insurance Group is also
under the magnifying glass of mainland media.
Who constitutes the strong political background?
Where does its huge amount of money come from?
How can it achieve such rapid expansion?
During two years of anti-corruption, there has been
no disclosure about how to deal with the second
red generation involved in the business domain.
Therefore Anbang Insurance Group is of concern to the public.
Which means will the red commercial area
be shaken?
“Southern Weekend" published an article on Jan 29
entitled “The actual control persons
of Anbang Insurance Group, who was the son
of Mr Chen Yi and they got three times approval
of the regulators to give the green light".
The man who revealed the key persons
of Anbang Insurance Group including Wu Xiaohui
and Chen Xiaolu, is Mr Chen Yi’s son.
This article is widely reported on the internet.
Li Tianxiao: “The two men are very typical.
Among these persons, if two of them
from the second generation of the CCP
needed to be punished, then other persons will
inevitably be punished as well."
Beijing politics watcher Hua Po: “The Anbang incident involves
Xiaolu Chen’s family and Deng’s family,
as well as other 2nd or 3rd generations.
I think, Xi Jinping will touch these interests
and drive them away from the interest field.
Chen Xiaolu immediately denied his connection with Anbang.
“Deutsche Welle" says on Jan 31st, an inside reference
newspaper across the Chinese financial domain indicates that,
Chen Xiaolu’s latest expression is that Anbang Insurance
Group is actually controlled by Deng’s family
and Chen’s family is just to support them.
Subsequently, “Southern Weekend" apologized on Feb 1st,
relevant information used for verifying the reports
have inaccuracies. Although does not specifically state
where these “inaccuracies" are from.
But Chinese scholar He Qinglian published an article
on VOA and indicated that, comparing this article
and another article “Big stake of Anbang” on Caixin Media,
then the so-called inaccuracies stated
by Southern Weekend newspaper might refer
to the marriage status of Mr Wu Xiaohui
and the granddaughter Deng Zhuorang
(Deng Nan’s daughter) ahead of time.
Caixin Media’s article “Anbang Adventure" says,
that as for the marriage of Wu Xiaohui and his third wife,
Deng Zhuorang, currently the marital relationship
has been suspended.
Last year, foreign media reported and exaggerated
the relationship between Anbang and Deng’s family.
Deng’s family members once discussed Anbang’s affairs
and confirmed that this has nothing to
do with Deng’s family.
Following Chen’s whitewash, Deng’s family also disassociated
themselves with the Anbang Group.
I am not sure if Anbang CEO Wu Xiaohui can be capable
of this task. In 2012, Wu Xiaohui was reported
to be involved in the case of Li Chuncheng,
who used to be CCP Deputy General of Sichuan Province.
Whether Wu Xiaohui has also become a tested person
of the anti-corruption drive remains to be seen
