【新唐人2012年10月24日讯】中共“十八大”前夕，中共军方最高领导层继续调整，胡锦涛的人马接班上位。外界指出，胡锦涛提拔的军方人士能在十八大前先接班，显示出他掌控了局面，江派势力继续衰弱。由此，胡留任中央军委主席的可能性也大大增加。下面请看报导。
中共军方高级将领开始调整：原副总参谋长马晓天担任空军司令员；原中央军委办公厅主任王冠中升任副总参谋长；总长助理戚建国升任副总参谋长；原空军政治部主任朱福熙升任成都军区政委等。
还有，广州军区政委张阳上将20号晚间，陪同中共军委副主席徐才厚，观看了总政话剧团的演出。而《解放军报》耐人寻味的报导说：“总政治部领导、军委办公厅领导一起观看了演出”。
包括香港《苹果日报》等媒体都认定，获胡锦涛一手提拔的张阳上将，最近将出任总政治部主任。
美国《明镜新闻网》也透露，“胡锦涛心腹”——现任北京军区司令房峰辉，也将出任总参谋长。
台湾《联合报》指出，胡锦涛提拔的军方人马在“十八大前”先接班，显示胡“留任中央军委”的可能性大大增加。
《新唐人》特约时事评论员杰森•马：“军方当然是中共权利的核心，谁掌握军方，谁真正掌握权力。胡锦涛势力明显加强的话，那么传递一个非常明确的信息就是说，江泽民派系最终进入崩析的边缘了，本身江泽民的势力在中国政坛已经没有影响力了。”
据分析对比日前李瑞环和江泽民的亮相，可以看出江派没落的端倪。被称为江泽民“克星”的前政协主席李瑞环，10月7号现身网球场，北京市政府的主要领导都出来陪同，坐在他两边；而江泽民在北京会见“上海海洋大学”校长，没有任何中央或北京市政府领导陪同，会见地点也是临时搭建的极普通礼堂。
甚至，日前访问韩国的“中国人民大学–国际关系学院”副院长金灿荣，在接受韩国《中央日报》采访时也公开表示，“江泽民的影响力是有限的。”
时事评论员杰森认为，胡锦涛能够做到目前这一步，是因为他很好的利用了薄熙来案子。
杰森指出，中共除了公布薄熙来的6条罪状外，“还发现了薄熙来其他涉嫌犯罪问题线索”，他相信这一句话就够让江派胆寒。杰森表示，薄熙来的所谓“其他罪状”，一个是跟周永康合谋的“谋反”；另一个就是对法轮功学员器官活摘、建立庞大的器官贩卖网等。薄熙来的这些罪都与江派有关，所以江派都不敢轻举妄动。
据了解，江系的人马之前对胡锦涛都不太买账，尤其是军委做事，从来不事先通报一下。
比如，2007年，军方用导弹击落了一颗过时的气象卫星，外交部事先不知道；而2011年，军方有意在美国国防部长盖茨访问中国期间，让隐形战机歼-20进行“首飞”，被国际认为中共在向美国示威，而事先连胡锦涛在内的外交系统人员都不知道，当盖茨问起这事，不仅胡锦涛愣在那儿，连背台的监控也不能立刻提供资料。
独立评论员李善鉴：“胡锦涛他上台以后，很多事情他自己说了不算。因为在他上台之前，江安插了很多很多他的人，除了在政治局、政治局常委安插了很多人，那更重要的，他(江)在军队里提拔了很多将军。”
许多评论认为，多年以来，按江泽民留下的班底在九常委制里的分工，出现了“九龙治水”的局面。显然，胡锦涛心有余而力不足。
加拿大《星岛日报》认为，中国目前对内有日益激化的社会冲突与矛盾、和薄熙来余威等左倾暗流；对外则有钓鱼岛及南海主权争议，以及美国“重返亚太”带来的压力。那么，这或许就需要胡锦涛继续留任核心权力一段时间！？

Hu Jintao Gains Advantage: Chinese Communist Party Army Reshuffle
On the eve of the Chinese Communist Party 18th
Congress, the regime has replaced its top military chiefs.
Hu Jintao’s faction has taken over the posts.
Commentators think this shows Hu Jintao has gained
an edge, while Jiang Zemin’s faction continues to weaken.
Therefore, this greatly increased Hu Jintao’s
chances of staying on as the head of the military.
The CCP People´s Liberation Army (PLA)
has reshuffled its top level leadership.
Ma Xiaotian has taken over as Air Force commander.
Wang Guanzhong and Qi Jianguo were promoted
to the PLA Deputy Chief of the General Staff.
Zhu Fuxi was appointed as political
commissar of the Chengdu Military Region.
On October 20, Zhang Yang accompanied Xu Caihou
to watch a performance given by the army troupe.
Zhang Yang is now political commissar
of Guangzhou Military Region.
Xu Caihou is Central Military
Commission (CMC) Vice Chairman.
The PLA Daily reported this news, but used titles
of “the leader of PLA General Political Department and the CMC General Office leader”.
Hong Kong’s Apple Daily, and other media, affirmed that
Zhang Yang, handpicked by Hu Jintao, will take the post
of Director of the PLA General Political Department.
‘mingjingnews.com’ revealed Hu Jintao’s right-hand man,
Fang Fenghui, will be named Chief of PLA General Staff.
Fang is the current Commander of Beijing Military Region.
Taiwan’s United Daily News stated that Hu Jintao’s cronies
in the army were promoted ahead of the 18th Party Congress.
This greatly increases Hu’s chances to stay
on as CMC head, said the news report.
Jason Ma, Critic: “Certainly, the CCP’s core power is the army.
Now, Hu Jintao’s faction has gained an obvious advantage.
Clearly, it’s telling that Jiang’s clique has been on the edge
of collapse, and has no more influence in China’s politics.”
The same conclusion can be drawn when comparing
Li Ruihuan’s reappearance with Jiang Zemin.
Li, known as Jiang’s “nemesis", was the former
chairman of the National Committee of the CCP Political Consultative Conference.
On October 7, Li Ruihuan appeared at a tennis court,
accompanied by Beijing’s major municipal officials.
By contrast, when Jiang Zemin met with the principal
of Shanghai Ocean University in Beijing,
no other central or municipal official attended,
and the meeting took place at a makeshift auditorium.
South Korea’s ‘Korea Joongang Daily’
recently interviewed Jin Canrong.
Jin is Vice President of the Institute of International
Relations of Renmin University of China.
Jin commented that, “Jiang Zemin’s influence is limited."
Jason Ma says that Hu made good use of the Bo Xilai
case, which helped him to gain the current advantage.
Jason Ma says that the CCP particularly mentioned,
“Bo Xilai’s other suspected criminal clues were also found.”
It is appalling enough to send chills
through the Jiang Zemin faction.
Jason Ma explains Bo’s “other suspected criminal clues”.
One is his plan for a military coup,
plotted with Zhou Yongkang.
The other is Bo’s involvement in harvesting
organs from living Falun Gong practitioners
This included setting up a huge organ trafficking network.
Bo Xilai’s crimes were all linked to Jiang’s faction, thus
Jiang’s men dare not to take a reckless counter attack.
Reportedly, Jiang’s faction has,
in the past, slighted Hu Jintao.
This is especially Jiang’s cronies in the CMC,
who never reported to Hu before an action was done.
For example, in 2007, the army shot
down an obsolete weather satellite.
Yet, the CCP Foreign Affairs Ministry did
not know about this action beforehand.
In 2011, the army launched “the first flight"
of the F-20 Stealth Fighter during Robert Gates, the U.S. Secretary of Defense visit to China.
The move was viewed as the CCP defiance towards the U.S.
However, CCP diplomatic officials, including
Hu Jintao, had not been informed in advance.
When Robert Gates asked about
the issue, Hu Jintao could not answer.
Hu could not immediately offer backup information.
Li Shanjian, independent critic: “In his tenure,
Hu Jintao couldn’t control a lot of things.
Before Hu took office, Jiang Zemin had appointed many
of his cronies into the Politburo and its Standing Committee.
What’s more, Jiang promoted many army generals."
Political observers view that over the years,
the CCP Politburo Standing Committee’s nine members went their own ways.
It was clear that Hu Jintao was
powerless to reverse the situation.
The Sing Tao Daily in Canada analyzed the
background of Hu Jintao remaining in office.
Domestically, the regime has seen intensified
social clashes, and activities from remaining leftist forces under the lead of Bo Xilai.
Internationally, it has faced disputes over
the Diaoyu Islands, and the South China Sea.
It is also subject to pressure of the U.S.
“returning” to the Asia-Pacific region.
Thus, all these may be the reasons why Hu Jintao needs
to stay in charge of the military, speculates Sing Tao Daily.
