中國目前人人放言談論薄熙來醜聞，北京當局已無法掌控言論，可能對中國領導層產生深遠影響，因為這個事件凸顯中國政治體制無力，錢權交易普遍，貪腐深化。 言論大膽的「財新」雜誌，一語中的，它說：「薄熙來失勢事件，凸顯需要限制政府權力。在目前的發展階段，中國提供了太多的誘惑，錢權交易普遍。」 在當今的中國，即使是好人也「收錢」，因為人人如此。動手術的醫生向病人家屬收紅包；記者收賄賂寫報導；校長收錢才讓學生入學。一個中國朋友是處理貪腐案的法官，只要收取被告的賄賂，就可富足過日子。另一個朋友是政治局委員之子，只要把自己的名字讓建設公司用一用，就可進帳數萬美元。 中國貪腐的程度令人咋舌，難以想像鐵道部副總工程師張曙光竟然富可敵國，在美國和瑞士的銀行坐擁28億美元存款。整個背景是，中國有權有勢的精英分子實在太富有。 在中國字裡，「權」、「錢」發音相近，而且可相互轉換。中國政治體制應付過極為棘手的挑戰，但如今已出現嚴重裂痕。多年來，改革派領袖李瑞環和溫家寶等，力稱應進行政治改革，中國共產黨官員也看出需要加強監督。
中國領導人應多多留意中國記者姜維平多年前的報導，他當時即揭發薄熙來的貪腐和濫權，但中國領導人把姜維平抓起來了。如今，在中共黨內都有人不滿即將卸任的總書記胡錦濤把政治體制「凍結」。預料他的接班人習近平比較傾向於自由化，為了中國的福祉，衷心希望如此。 中國百姓對薄案為中國領導人帶來的矛盾，心知肚明，目前正流傳這樣一個笑話：在專門監禁高官政治犯的秦城監獄裡，一個囚犯說：「我是因為反薄熙來被關進來的。」第二個說：「我是因為支持薄熙來而入獄。」第三個囚犯說：「他X的，我就是薄熙來。」

薄熙來不是一個平庸的人。他和北京的那些高官們有明顯的區別，他有強烈的人生抱負，他有著自己對中國未來道路的思考。但薄熙來基本的理念是錯誤的，他誤判了中國。如果重慶模式帶到北京去，在全國範圍內普及開來，在中國肯定是一場災難。 薄熙來的「隕落」會給「六四事件」以來23年中國沉悶的政治局面帶來破局: 薄熙來在重慶的戲已演完了，復辟的戲演完了。也就是中國走回頭路在重慶被終止下來，我相信在全國也會終止下來，我相信中國躲過了一劫。 |

「薄熙來事件」發生後，使中國「太子黨」在美國的情形備受關注。估計目前仍在美國學習和生活的中國高官的後代最少仍有數百人。「國防研究與分析」(Institute for Defense Studies and Analyses)網站，20日刊登中國研究學者R.S. Kalha的文章「中國的紅色太子黨」指出，除薄瓜瓜外，中國的「儲君」習近平的女兒習明澤，中共元老陳雲的孫女陳曉丹，目前都在哈佛大學學習。而現任領導人胡錦濤的兒子胡海峰、溫家寶兒子溫雲松、前任領導人江澤民兒子江綿恆、朱鎔基兒子朱雲來等，也都曾在美國和加拿大求學，他們回到中國後，如今都已成為中國商界呼風喚雨的人物。 中國領導人的後代喜歡選擇到美國的頂尖大學就讀，哈佛大學、麻省理工學院的史隆商學院和甘迺迪政府學院，是他們的首選。他們中較少選擇去英國求學。 有趣的是，這些特殊學生幾都得到「全額獎學金」，他們的學業也都出人意料的優異。實際上他們的學費都是由特定人士提供的。而回到中國後，他們大都在國有大型企業謀到好差事，擔任高級職務。 在波士頓，來自中國的官二代、富二代多的是。他們都開賓士、寶馬、保時捷。 與中共高層官員子女一貫行事較低調的作風不同的是，像父親薄熙來一樣「高調行事」的薄瓜瓜紙醉金迷、揮金如土，帶有紈褲子弟的不羈作風，則令人側目。 |

China will ''take us as a prize'': Fraser
BY:BERNARD LANE - The Australian - April 21, 2012 12:00AM
AUSTRALIA could end up "taken as a prize" by China if a US policy of military containment leads to defeat for our American allies, former prime minister Malcolm Fraser has warned.
"If we have been a compliant ally of a virtually defeated super-power would we not be regarded as a prize - a prize to be taken?," Mr Fraser says in a submission to the Asian Century white paper. He argues that Australia''s decisions to welcome US troops to the Northern Territory and to entertain the idea of US surveillance drones in the Cocos Islands were part of a bigger picture of Australia as a subservient partner in an attempt to contain China by military means.
Yesterday he told The Weekend Australian he believed hostilities between China and the US were likely within the next 40 to 50 years unless the US abandoned its policy of containment. And his submission argues that China would win. "We know China could sustain massive casualties and would still fight, the US could not," he says.
"If they couldn''t win in Vietnam, if they couldn''t win in Iraq, and they can''t win in Afghanistan, how could they possibly win against China?" He says China would be able to force the US to withdraw to the western hemisphere, exposing the folly of Australia''s belief in US protection. Asked what he meant by Australia being taken as a prize, he said: "I don''t think I really want to expand on that."
A spokesperson for the US embassy in Canberra said it was simply not true that the US was pursuing a policy of containing China. The thrust of Mr Fraser''s submission is that Australia has naively looked to great powers for protection, first Britain and now the US, and instead must carve out a truly independent role in the region.
He says the stationing of US troops in the NT is "a major and significant mistake". US marines arrived in Darwin this month for training with the Australian Defence Force. "For America to say that 2500 troops do not constitute a base is nonsense, indeed a fabrication," Mr Fraser says. "If the US wishes to conduct a hostile action from Australian shores we are complicit in that action and party to it. The Americans will not ask our permission first before the troops are used."
The US embassy spokesperson said these claims were "absolutely false" because US troops would be on short rotation in various locations and the US "would not do anything from Australia''s bases without full knowledge and concurrence". |

评论：郎咸平：中国人退休后面临悲惨生活 应效仿欧美改革 |

《福布斯》統計顯示，2011年上榜的400位中國富豪的財富達到4590億美元，如果按照1：6.4的匯率計算，相當於29376億元人民幣。而據新華社報導，2010年年底我國城鄉居民人民幣儲蓄存款餘額達303302億元。照此計算，400位富豪的“身家”相當於全國居民去年年底儲蓄額的9.69%。這就是說，400位富豪身家接近全民儲蓄的十分之一。
富豪是改革開放的得益者，也是屬於讓少數人先富裕起來，可是並未有帶動全民共同富裕，目前處在貧困線的人佔相當比例。據《中國科學院最近完成的2012年中國可持續發展戰略報告》提出：中國發展中的人口壓力依然巨大，按2010年標準，貧困人口有2.89億。而按2011年提高後的貧困標準(農村居民家庭人均純收入2300元人民幣/ 年)，中國還有1.28億貧困人口。城鎮職工貧困也佔相當比例，月薪一千多至二千元人民幣的不少。猶其是原國有企業老職工，為國家建設奉獻一生，在調整國營企業中下崗，人老了又無專業技能，再就業也只有低工資。試想夫婦兩人打工，月收入不足三千元人民幣，租住房去掉一半，剩下一半還要供兒女讀書，生活如何過得好？
建國初原國家幹部為國家建設耗盡一生，為服從組織安排而調職到國有企業當領導，做“開荒牛”。 在改革中原總理朱鎔基學習香港公務員制度，“高薪養廉”，多次大幅度提升行政幹部工資，而國企幹部不動，把差距拉大，使退休後的行政幹部與國企幹部工資差距拉到3比1，一位處級國企領導幹部退休金比不上行政掃地的勤雜人員，真是“斯文掃地”，可悲！可嘆！但今天的國企領導幹部的工資待遇卻放任自流，毫無節制，享有國家壟斷專利的國企領導幹部年薪數百萬或數千萬元人民幣，中層幹部也有年薪數十萬或數百萬元人民幣，成了特殊階層。
收入分配不公，形成社會兩極分化，貧富差距越拉越大，成為社會的隱患。只有走共同富裕道路，才是社會主義的光輝大道。
當前，共同富裕已成為社會關注的焦點，萬眾關注。決不能只是少數人百萬、千萬地發家暴富，而工農大眾卻享受不到改革成果。如果任由差距拉大、甚至兩極分化，人們自然會懷疑黨的政策，隨之人心渙散。

The Emerging Cultural and Creative Industries in the Greater China Economy: The Cross-strait Co-opetitive Strategy
Click here for more event information
Thursday, April 19, 2012
4:00 PM – 5:30 PM
New Location: Bunche Hall, Room 10367
Cost: Free and Open to the Public
www.international.ucla.edu/china
Cultural and Creative industries (CCI) are potentially among the most influential sunrise industries in the 21st century, therefore both advanced countries and Asia-pacific emerging countries are continuing to strengthen the development of those industries. With the rise of the Greater China economy, mainland China has gradually transformed itself from world factory to world market. China''''s government has decided to push cultural industries strategically as a key economic sector in the 12th 5-year plan. By promoting it to become a pillar industry of the national economy by 2015, China’s plan offers abundant opportunities for the industry. At the same time, the Taiwan authority has continued to cultivate the CCI as a major national development policy. Taiwan signed the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) with China in 2010, substantially opening economic exchange and cooperation across the straits.
In the post-ECFA era, what are the charisma and market opportunities of Greater China’s experience economy? And how can China and Taiwan integrate mutually complementary advantages to form industrial value networks and enhance their international competitiveness to succeed in the global market? Prof. Tse-Ping Dong will offer an in-depth analysis of the prospects and outlook for the CCI from the perspective of the cross-strait co-opetitive strategy.
About the Speaker: Tse-Ping Dong, Ph.D.
Professor Dong, Associate Professor of College of Management at National Taiwan Normal University and adjunct Associate Professor of College of Fine Arts, earned his MBA and Ph.D. from the College of Management at National Taiwan University, 2011-2012 and is currently a Fulbright Visiting Scholar at UCLA and UCSD. He specializes in digital content and cultural & creative industries, industrial research of motion pictures, innovation & entrepreneurship and investment, intellectual property and Asia-Pacific business strategies. He is particularly interested in cross-disciplinary research integrating business management, arts, technology and law. Professor Dong has published extensively, including more than 20 papers in several renowned international journals (SSCI/SCI/TSSCI/EI rank). |
