【新唐人2011年10月10日訊】英國《金融時報》前北京分社社長馬利德，在北京和上海居住多年，他透過自身經歷，以及對政治經濟事件的剖析，寫成《中共不可說的秘密》一書，成功掀開中共的面紗。日前，台灣聯經公司出版了中文版，引起眾多媒體的廣泛關注。聯經透露，這本書已經被中共列為禁書。
《中共不可說的秘密》書中，馬利德把中共比喻為無處不在卻控制一切的「藏鏡人」。他以深入淺出和輕鬆幽默的方式，刻劃出了中共隱藏在政府與企業背後，控制著大陸政治與經濟命脈的所為。
馬利德在書中說，作為統治中國的執政黨，中共不僅控制了從大城市到偏僻小鎮的各級政府，它也掌控了媒體、軍隊以及得到被它許可的宗教。就連資產雄厚的國營企業也得聽命於它。它有權任命所有國營企業的高級主管，而這些企業當中，有許多名列《財富》全球五百強排行榜前茅。
馬利德舉例說，許多精明的西方和台灣企業家和大陸官員或企業家打交道時，往往被他們西裝革履的外表、或頭銜所矇蔽，就連媒體大亨梅鐸到訪中國後，居然說，「每次到中國訪問，都沒有見到共產黨員」。
事實上，梅鐸接觸的人幾乎都有中共黨員身份。馬利德在書中直言，「作為幕後影武者，中共極力掩飾黨對一切的控制行動，製造出許多矛盾與弔詭的現象」。
美國《華爾街日報》專欄作家Rick Carew認為，這本書是一本：探討中國商業世界中隱藏的政治陷阱的入門書。他說，中國大企業的經理一向都把政治目地放在第一位，而不是商業利益。事實上，這些企業經理是共產黨派駐公司的「書記」。即使他們服務於上市公司，但是他們並不聽命於公司董事會，而是服從一個模糊的共黨組織──「中央組織部門」。
Rick Carew認爲，外國人很難理解共產黨在現代中國的影響力，因為現代任何一個國家都沒有這樣的類似組織。對外國人而言，他們實在不懂「黨書記」到底如何運作。用馬利德的話來說就是：「中共是秘密的、貪腐的、敵視法律且極好報復。」
在書中，馬利德還解釋了中共如何控制中國，並將外界對貪腐黨員的指控變成黨的家務事，不容他人置喙。
馬利德認爲，中國雖然從外觀上似乎已經替共產主義換上了新裝，但當初以反貪腐起家的共產黨人，本身卻染上同樣的絕症。中共口中雖鼓吹平等，但社會收入分配的不均，絕不遜於亞洲任何國家。馬利德說，只要窺視中國模式的內部，就會了解中國要比外表看起來更像個共產主義國家。
西方社會對《中共不可說的秘密》一書的出版反應熱烈：
《華盛頓郵報》稱讚這本書：生動且深刻的描繪了中共把「保密」視為不可侵犯的原則。
哈佛大學榮譽教授傅高義表示，馬利德揭開中國背後的秘密，解釋了中共如何統治中國、如何管理黨員、如何控制軍隊、如何滲透商界。未來，每個人都得面對中國這個崛起的強權。若要知道中共的真實面貌，《中共不可說的秘密》是必讀之作。

“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.
