【新唐人2011年10月10日讯】英国《金融时报》前北京分社社长马利德，在北京和上海居住多年，他透过自身经历，以及对政治经济事件的剖析，写成《中共不可说的秘密》一书，成功掀开中共的面纱。日前，台湾联经公司出版了中文版，引起众多媒体的广泛关注。联经透露，这本书已经被中共列为禁书。
《中共不可说的秘密》书中，马利德把中共比喻为无处不在却控制一切的“藏镜人”。他以深入浅出和轻松幽默的方式，刻划出了中共隐藏在政府与企业背后，控制着大陆政治与经济命脉的所为。
马利德在书中说，作为统治中国的执政党，中共不仅控制了从大城市到偏僻小镇的各级政府，它也掌控了媒体、军队以及得到被它许可的宗教。就连资产雄厚的国营企业也得听命于它。它有权任命所有国营企业的高级主管，而这些企业当中，有许多名列《财富》全球五百强排行榜前茅。
马利德举例说，许多精明的西方和台湾企业家和大陆官员或企业家打交道时，往往被他们西装革履的外表、或头衔所蒙蔽，就连媒体大亨梅铎到访中国后，居然说，“每次到中国访问，都没有见到共产党员”。
事实上，梅铎接触的人几乎都有中共党员身份。马利德在书中直言，“作为幕后影武者，中共极力掩饰党对一切的控制行动，制造出许多矛盾与吊诡的现象”。
美国《华尔街日报》专栏作家Rick Carew认为，这本书是一本：探讨中国商业世界中隐藏的政治陷阱的入门书。他说，中国大企业的经理一向都把政治目地放在第一位，而不是商业利益。事实上，这些企业经理是共产党派驻公司的“书记”。即使他们服务于上市公司，但是他们并不听命于公司董事会，而是服从一个模糊的共党组织──“中央组织部门”。
Rick Carew认为，外国人很难理解共产党在现代中国的影响力，因为现代任何一个国家都没有这样的类似组织。对外国人而言，他们实在不懂“党书记”到底如何运作。用马利德的话来说就是：“中共是秘密的、贪腐的、敌视法律且极好报复。”
在书中，马利德还解释了中共如何控制中国，并将外界对贪腐党员的指控变成党的家务事，不容他人置喙。
马利德认为，中国虽然从外观上似乎已经替共产主义换上了新装，但当初以反贪腐起家的共产党人，本身却染上同样的绝症。中共口中虽鼓吹平等，但社会收入分配的不均，绝不逊于亚洲任何国家。马利德说，只要窥视中国模式的内部，就会了解中国要比外表看起来更像个共产主义国家。
西方社会对《中共不可说的秘密》一书的出版反应热烈：
《华盛顿邮报》称赞这本书：生动且深刻的描绘了中共把“保密”视为不可侵犯的原则。
哈佛大学荣誉教授傅高义表示，马利德揭开中国背后的秘密，解释了中共如何统治中国、如何管理党员、如何控制军队、如何渗透商界。未来，每个人都得面对中国这个崛起的强权。若要知道中共的真实面貌，《中共不可说的秘密》是必读之作。

“The Party：The Secret World of China’s Communist Rulers” revealed some secrets behind CCP
Richard McGregor, the former Beijing bureau chief of the Financial Times, who has been a resident of Beijing and Shanghai for many years, is also the author of the newly released book, The Party：The Secret World of China’s Communist Rulers. Based on McGregor’s own experience and his analysis of political and economic events in China, the book successfully unveils the truth about the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Taiwan’s Liangjing Company is the publisher of the Chinese edition and is getting a lot of media attention. According to Liangjing, the book is banned by the CCP.
In the book, McGregor describes the CCP as a manipulator behind a mirror who is everywhere and controls everything. His language is easy to understand and humorous. He reveals that the CCP hides behind its government and enterprises, and controls everything related to mainland politics and economics.
He goes on to say that as the ruler of China, the CCP not only controls all levels of government, from big cities to small towns, but also the media, the army, and state religions. Even huge state-owned enterprises have to obey it. It has the power to appoint all senior executives of state enterprises, many of which rank high among Fortune magazine’s annual list of the top 500 U.S. companies
McGregor explains why many astute Western and Taiwan entrepreneurs are fooled by the nice outward appearance and impressive sounding titles of mainland officials and entrepreneurs. Even media tycoon, Rupert Murdoch, was deceived. He once said, “Every time I visit China, I don’t see any CCP members."
Actually, almost everyone Murdoch met on his visits had CCP links. McGregor explains: “As the manipulator behind the screens, the CCP does its best to hide its involvement, which produces a lot of contradictory and paradoxical phenomenon.”
Rick Carew, a columnist for The Wall Street Journal, reviewed McGregor’s book and described it as a primer that discusses the CCP’s hidden political objectives in the business world. He said managers of big Chinese enterprises put political objectives ahead of profits. Actually, these managers are ‘secretaries’ placed in these enterprises by the CCP. Although they work for their respective enterprises, they do not listen to the board of directors. Instead, they obey the shadowy CCP organization, the Central Organization Department.
Carew believes foreigners find it hard to understand how powerful the CCP really is in China, because no other country has such an organization. Foreigners have no idea how a Party secretary works. According to McGregor, the CCP is a secret, corrupt, regime that is hostile to natural and man-made laws and extremely vengeful.
In his book, McGregor also explains how the CCP controls China, and why it takes all charges levied against corrupt Party members, and turns them into “internal affairs.”
McGregor believes that the CCP recently appears to be taking on a new look and is interested in fighting corruption. However, every CCP member who fought against corruption is now being accused of corruption. The CCP advocates equality, but when it comes to the issue of profits, China is no better off than any other Asian country. McGregor said, if you could get a glimpse into the inner workings of the CCP, you would realize China performs more like a communist country than it looks.
Western media gave very favorable reviews of McGregor’s book, with The Washington Post describing it as a lively and penetrating account of the CCP, a regime that has clung to secrecy as some sort of unchallengeable principle or right.
Harvard University honorary professor, Gao Yi, said that McGregor unveils the CCP’s secrets, explaining how it rules China, manages Party members, controls the army and penetrates into virtually every business. In the future, everyone will have to deal with China’s rising power. If you want to know the true face of the CCP, The Party：The Secret World of China’s Communist Rulers is a must read.
