【新唐人2014年12月12日讯】已经落马的前中共军委副主席徐才厚，12月10号被《解放军报》猛批是“两面人”、“国妖”，而就在同一天，周永康也被党媒《人民日报》政治文化部称为是“叛徒”，当局突然进一步的提升对这两人的批判论调，外界关注，是否为将来判两人“死刑”做铺垫。
打“老虎”的大戏又给丑角制作了“新帽子”。落马的前军委副主席徐才厚，在被批判成“军中巨贪”、“恶虎”、“国贼”等等之后，《解放军报》10号的评论员文章，又引经据典，给他扣上了“两面人”、“国妖”的称号。
“两面人”的说法，是文章从清代小说《镜花缘》中，“两面国”的故事引申出来的。“两面国”的人，天生两张脸，对着人的是谦恭的笑脸，藏在浩然巾里的却是另一张恶脸。文章说：徐才厚就是典型的“两面人”，善于表演，擅长伪装，用假面具掩盖自己极其肮脏的灵魂和丑恶的行为，演出一幕幕丑剧。
而“国妖”的称号，则是来自于荀子的言论。《荀子．大略篇》中，把“口能言之，身能行之”的人称为“国宝”，而“口言善，身行恶”的人称为“国妖”。
《解放军报》用“国妖”批判徐才厚的当天，具有官方背景的《澎湃新闻》立即发文称赞，并进一步给“国妖”这顶帽子画出具体形象。文章说，汉朝时，表面礼贤下士的篡政贼子王莽，和当代篡权“四人帮”中的张春桥，就是“国妖”在历史中的典型代表。
至今很少有落马官员被当局用“国妖”这么重的词来批判，而被用来做徐才厚历史参照的王莽，因为篡权后改制失败，混乱中被杀。张春桥也是被扣上“反党篡权”的罪名，之后曾被判死刑。因此，尽管目前徐才厚只受到“受贿”和“违纪”的指控，但两顶“新帽子”一戴，使外界对徐才厚其他罪名的猜测重新浮上水面。
原《中国军事学院出版社》社长辛子陵：“他代表的这股势力，如果一旦成了气候，他是要夺权的。我记得过去我讲过，我说周永康这个事件是和徐才厚一个案子连着。因为周永康他们要搞政变，要把薄熙来扶上去，要把习近平搞掉。这么大的动作、这么大的事情，没有军队的支持是办不成的。”
而就在同一天，另外一个人也同样收到了“新帽子”，这个人正是和徐才厚有着“剪不断、理还乱”关系的周永康。
党媒《人民日报》政治文化部的微信公号“人民日报政文”，10号发表文章说：周永康的所做所为已经和中共党史上的“叛徒”区别不大了。
文章列举了中共历史上五个被处死的高级“叛徒”，包括中共建政前，向国民党透露机密的早期领导人顾顺章和向忠发。还有近二十年来，向台湾出售情报的军队高级将领和专家刘连昆、刘广智、郭万钧。
《大纪元时报》引用时政评论员夏小强的分析说，如果从引用这五个“叛徒”的角度来解读，前两位是在表示周永康背叛中共组织造成的严重损失，后三位则是指向周永康出卖国家机密，暗示周永康“叛国”。
那么，中共媒体给徐才厚和周永康在同一天戴上了沉重的“新帽子”，又意味着什么呢？
中国问题独立评论员李善鉴：“基本上这都属于‘副国级’级别的人，如果用原来的罪行，仅仅是腐败罪行的话，他的处刑可能不会到‘死刑’这个级别。但是如果讲他‘叛国’、‘叛徒’，用这些字眼的话，处刑可能就可以到‘死刑’这个级别了。”
中国问题独立评论员李善鉴认为，其中还透露出另外一个更重要的信号。
李善鉴：“这个信号是说，现在对这两个人的处理，已经远远不止于是‘腐败’了。其实这方面在海外已经有陆续报导，这两个人真正的罪行，其实是参与政变和活摘器官。他讲他不是‘腐败’，是‘叛徒’是‘国妖’，我觉的已经开始突破腐败的范围，这方面讲起来，附带余地就很大了。”
李善鉴表示，每次处理最高级别的领导人，对中共是巨大伤害，因此历次中共都会把其变成大型政治运动，包括在宣传上造势，罗织罪名，各方面表态等等来巩固自身，但对徐才厚和周永康的量刑，并不是最重要的，事件后续的走向，完全查清他们的罪行背后还有谁参与，才更值得关注。

Trapped Tigers Become Demons: Xu Caihou and Zhou Yongkang Given “New Hats"
On Dec. 10, detained Xu Caihou, former Vice Chairman
of Central Military Commission of Chinese Communist Party
(CCP), was criticized as being a “double-dealer" and labelled
the Nation’s Demon by Liberation Army Daily newspaper.
On same day, Zhou Yongkang was also called traitor
by the political culture department of the official CCP
media People’s Daily.
The sudden further onslaught of criticism of these two
officials has attracted the public’s attention.
The public wonders whether this is to pave way
for the two to receive the death penalty.
The attacking tigers drama is now in performing
a new act: the new hats are on the harlequin.
Detained former vice chairman of the Central Military
Commission, Xu Caihou, was labelled a “person
on both sides" and “national demon" by a commentator’s
article in Liberation Army Daily on Dec. 10.
This follows on the heels of him being labelled a huge
corruptive official in the army, savage tiger, traitor and more.
The saying, “person on both sides" originates from the story
of “both sides of the country" which is described in
Flowers in the Mirror, a novel written in the Qing Dynasty.
People in “both sides of the country" are born
with two faces.
Facing the people is a humble smile, but hidden
in Haoran Towel is the face of evil.
The article says Xu Caihou is a typical “person on both sides"
who is good at acting, good at camouflaging and good
at covering up his extremely dirty soul
and ugly acts with a mask.
He performed in many farces.
The title of “national demon" is from Xun Zi’s remarks.
In Xun Zi Articles, those persons who are adept speakers
and strongly practice what they preach are called national
treasures while those persons who are adept speakers
with evil behavior are called national demons.
The same day Liberation Army Daily criticized Xu Caihou
as a national demon, Pengbai News, which has an official
background, immediately praised the Liberation Army Daily
article while further depicting the specific image
of the national demon.
The article says that Han Dynasty’s Wang Mang,
who seemingly showed courtesy to others but usurped
power during the Han Dynasty, as well as Chang Chunqiao
of the contemporary “Gang of Four" who also usurped
national power, are both typical historical
national demon figures.
So far, few arrested officials have been given the title of
national demon by the authorities with such heavy criticism.
Wang Mang was killed in the chaos after usurp restructuring
failed.
Zhang Chunqiao was sentenced to death
after he was labelled anti-CCP usurper.
Although currently Xu Caihou was only charged with bribery
and violating discipline, putting on two new hats causes
the public to again speculate what Xu Caihou’s
other charges are.
Mr. Xin Ziling, former President of Chinese Military Academy
Press President: “If the force he represents becomes
dominant, then he is going to seize power.
I remember in the past I have said the Zhou Yongkang case
is connected with the case of Xu Caihou.
Zhou Yongkang was engaging in coup, supporting Bo Xilai
to become the head of the CCP and to oust Xi Jinping.
It is impossible for such a drastic move and a big event
to succeed without the support of the army."
On the same day, Zhou Yongkang, another person also
received a “new hat", for his constant entanglements
with Xu Caihou.
The public web-chat account of “The Political Articles
of People’s Daily" of the political culture department
of the CCP official media “People’s Daily"
published an article on the 10th.
The article says there is little difference between Zhou’s acts
and those of traitors in the history of the CCP.
The article cited five senior traitors who were sentenced
to death in the history of the CCP.
Among the five traitors, Gu Shunzhang and Xiang Zhongfa
were both leaders of the CCP in early stages
and disclosed confidential information to the KMT
before the CCP took the power.
In the last twenty years, Liu Liankun, Liu Guangzhi
and Guo Wanjun were the latter three traitors
who were high-rank military officials and experts
but sold military intelligence to Taiwan.
The Epoch Times quoted political commentator Xia Xiaoqiang
who said that if the citation regarding the five traitors
is interpreted, the first two traitors suggests the heavy loss
of Zhou Yongkang betraying the CCP organization.
The latter three point to Zhou for selling state
secrets, suggesting Zhou betrayed the country.
What does it mean that the CCP media entitled Xu Caihou
and Zhou Yongkang with a heavy new hat?
Independent Chinese political commentator Li Shankan:
“Basically if these persons who belong to the deputy
national-class level are only charged with the original
corruption crime, then their sentence may not be death.
But if we talk about treason and traitors, with these
applicable words, then the death sentence may be possible."
Li Shankan believes that this also reveals
another more important signal.
Li Shankan: “The signal is that the handling of the two men
with the charges of far beyond the corruption.
Actually this has been reported from time to time overseas.
Both of their true crimes are related to the coup
and organ harvesting.
He said he was not in “corruption", but becoming
a “traitor" is a national demon.
I think when I start to break through the corruption,
the appendixed content has large room for improvement.
Li Shankan said that every time the CCP attacks
and processes the highest level leaders,
major damage is caused to the CCP.
Therefore every time the CCP changed such incidents
into large scale movements including propaganda
advertisement, fabricating crimes, and forcing the people
to express their attitudes is consolidating itself.
But the result of the sentencing is not most important.
Completely identifying their crimes and other involved
participants deserves to be highlighted more.
