【新唐人2012年9月3日讯】十八大前夕，北京当局开始着手新一轮的人事调整。日前，中共官媒宣布，中央书记处书记令计划，改任中央统战部长﹔而刚卸位贵州省委书记的栗战书，则接任中央办公厅主任。外界对这个重大消息作出了不同解读，下面请看时事评论员的分析。
9月1号，中共喉舌《新华社》发布消息声称，令计划卸任中央办公厅（中办）主任，并兼任中央统战部部长﹔原统战部长杜青林因为年龄原因卸任。另外，已经以中办常务副主任身份出席官方活动的栗战书，正式接任中办主任一职。
令计划曾经长期在团中央工作，担任过胡锦涛的秘书，并且在中办任职长达17年之久，被视为胡锦涛的亲信。此前有传言，他将出任的职务包括北京市委书记、广东省委书记、中组部部长等，甚至在十八大可能升任政治局常委。
时事评论员蓝述认为，统战部在中央直属机构中，排位在中组部和中宣部之后。令计划没有接替李源潮的组织部，而是担任统战部部长，说明胡锦涛在十八大人事布局方面受到了阻力。
时事评论员蓝述：“这个主要问题不是令计划本人有什么问题，而是因为胡锦涛在前一段处理薄王事件的时候他没有采取雷霆的行动，把与薄王有关的江系的血债人物统统把它曝出来，进行彻底的清除。”
按照中共以往惯例，统战部长一般不由政治局委员担任，最近30年来也没有政治局委员兼任统战部长的先例。
时事评论员林子旭表示，中共安排一个政治局常委担任统战部部长的可能性不大。不过，令计划目前仍然位居中央书记处书记，所以他还是新一届政治局委员的人选，只是兼任统战部部长一职使他是否入围政治局变得扑朔迷离。
时事评论员林子旭：“同时薄熙来的十八大代表资格也没有被免除。这一切都说明胡锦涛该出手时不出手，很多事情就会变得很无奈。”
通常情况下，中央统战部部长会兼任全国政协副主席。比如刚刚卸任统战部部长的杜青林就兼任了政协副主席，而令计划的前任王刚目前也兼任政协副主席一职。
独立评论员韩武认为，担任政协副主席职务的人选，通常都需要先通过担任地方高官的形式进行历练，但是令计划没有相关的经历。所以直接将令计划调往统战部可能是胡锦涛的特殊安排。
独立评论员韩武：“令计划这样做呢，我觉得就是在为他下一步做政协主席或者是人大主任在作准备。这样反而我觉得令计划的仕途比较顺利，这样走了捷径，不需要先到底下去。所以我觉得（胡锦涛）这个安排还是很科学，也比较谨慎的。”
中办主任主要负责中共中央机关日常运作，向来被视为中南海的“大内总管”，任职的人历来都是中共最高领导人身边的核心幕僚。
韩武指出，栗战书接任中办主任这个职位等于是直接向外界宣布，习近平即将成为新一代中共领导人。
今年62岁的栗战书曾经担任共青团河北省委书记，被视为“团派”人物。有消息指称，习近平早年担任河北省正定县委书记时，栗战书正是邻县无极县的书记，所以两人关系密切。栗战书也因此被视为是胡锦涛和习近平都能接受的人选。

Unexpected Beijing Regime Central Leadership Reshuffle
The Beijing regime has began a new round of central
leadership reshuffling on the eve of the 18th Party Congress.
Official state media of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
recently announced the regimes new appointments.
Li Jihua was named as the head
of the United Front Work Department (UFWD).
Former Guizhou Party Chief, Li Zhanshu, has taken over
as Director of General Office of the CCP Central Committee.
Analysts have different interpretations
of this news. Let’s see their analyses.
On September 1, CCP state media Xinhua News Agency
announced Ling Jihua’s new post as head of the UFWD.
Ling replaced predecessor Du Qinglin.
Li Zhanshu took over as the Director
of the CCP General Office.
Ling Jihua has held long-term posts in the Central
Communist Youth League Committee.
This included being Hu Jintao’s secretary.
After serving in the general office of CCP Central Committee
for 17 years, Ling Jihua is deemed Hu Jintao’s confidant.
Earlier rumors said that Ling might serve as Deputy
Party Chief of Beijing, Party Chief of Guangdong or as the Central Organization Minister.
Ling was even rumored to be entering the Politburo
Standing Committee at the 18th Party Congress.
Critic Lan Shu says that the UFWD ranks second
to the CCP Central Organization Department and Central Propaganda Department.
Ling Jihua failed to succeed as Central Organization Minister.
This indicates that Hu Jintao was subjected to resistance
in his arrangement of personnel for the 18th Congress.
Lan Shu: “The main reason isn’t due to Ling Jihua himself.
It’s because Hu Jintao didn’t take resolute actions
in handling the incidents of Wang Lijun and Bo Xilai.
Also, Hu Jintao didn’t completely expose the evils
of the blood-debt faction, under Jiang Zemin’s clique.
Nor did he thoroughly purge them.”
Following CCP customs, the UFWD chief
is not entitled to Politburo membership.
In the last 30 years, there is no record of a Politburo
member also holding the post of UFWD Chief.
Cirtic Lin Zixu states that the CCP has little chance
to arrange a Politburo Standing Committee member to also concurrently serve as the UFWD head.
Currently, Ling Jihua is the Party
Secretary of the Central Secretariat.
So, Ling is still a candidate for being a new Politburo member.
Lin Zixu says that Ling’s role as head of the UFWD makes
it bewildering that if he would be short-listed for the Politburo.
Lin Zixu: “Until now, Bo Xilai hasn’t been exempt from his
eligibility as a deputy to the 18th Party Congress.
All these show that Hu Jintao missed the best opportunities
to take actions, which has made things very helpless."
Normally, the head of the UFWD also serves as Vice
Chairman of the CCP’s Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
In the example of Du Qinglin, the just-retired head of the
UFWD and Wang Gang, former General Office director.
Both Du and Wang, in their tenures, concurrently
held the post of CPPCC vice chairman.
Commentator Han Wu says that a candidate
for the CPPCC Vice Chairman usually needs the experience of being a local senior official.
Ling Jihua doesn’t have this background.
So it is likely to be Hu Jintao’s special arrangement
to directly appoint Ling Jihua as head of the UFWD.
Han Wu: “I think this is paving the way for Ling Jihua
to act as Chairman of the National Committee
of CPPCC or Director of the Standing Committee
of National People’s Congress.
This is a short cut to Ling Jihua’s career path,
and he doesn’t to get through local-level works.
So Hu Jintao’s arrangement is quite scientific
and also rather cautious, I think."
The Director of the CCP General Office is in charge
of day-to-day operation of the CCP’s Central Committee.
The position is always taken by the core
advisor of the CCP top leader.
Han Wu, points out that Li Zhanshu, who took over this post,
actually announced Xi Jinping’s new top leader status.
Li Zhanshu, 62, was once the Party Chief
of Communist Youth League of Hebei Province.
Sources allege Li Zhanshu has close ties with Xi Jinping.
Li and Xi once held office in neighboring counties in Hebei.
Li Zhanshu is thus considered the acceptable
candidate to both Hu Jintao and Xi Jinping.
