【新唐人2012年10月17日訊】習近平擬差額選常委
據《大紀元》新聞網報導，中共下屆領導人習近平打算在十八大上，採用「差額選舉」來選定中共政治局常委、委員和中央委員。
報導說，目前流傳的各種中共18大「入常名單」版本，基本上是各派為促成自己的人「入圍」而推出的「名單」，中共18大「常委名單」目前並沒有定論。不過習近平傾向於以這些名單為基礎，形成「候選人名單」，最後在十八大上由「差額選舉」定奪。形成表面上，最高領導人不全來自「欽點」，而給所謂的「政改」一個「從上至下」的說法。
據報導，胡錦濤、習近平已經秘密在中共高層進行了一場「民主摸底」，據說，這次「民主摸底」給出了俞正聲、張德江、張高麗、劉雲山、汪洋、劉延東、王岐山等十多位政治局常委「候選人」，然後由大約350名正省部級高級官員組成投票班子，選出習近平、李克強之外的另外5名政治局常委。而選舉的結果讓習近平、胡錦濤信心大增。
法廣：薄熙來人大資格 最快下週褫奪
中共喉舌媒體報導，中共人大常委會10月23號至26號召開會議，議程包括審議「個別代表的代表資格」。這次會議與前幾次會議相比，在時間上罕見的提前。
《法國國際廣播電臺》發文分析說，會議應該與薄熙來案有關，估計薄熙來的全國人大代表資格將在會議上被正式褫奪，同時，中共的這個行動，也預示著薄熙來案可能在11月8號召開的「十八大」前，進入司法程序。
湖南中院否認審判薄熙來
美國《紐約時報》10月15號報導，針對最近海外媒體盛傳的「薄熙來案將會在湖南的省會城市長沙審理」，一位湖南省長沙市中級人民法院的工作人員已經否認，這名工作人員說：「我們已經接到很多電話了，我們這裡沒有這個事兒！」
但香港《明鏡週刊》15號報導，薄熙來案將會在湖南的省會城市長沙審理。《香港商業電臺》也引述重慶政界的消息說，薄熙來可能15號接受刑事審訊，地點最有可能是湖南長沙。
豐田天津廠將停產一週
據日本《朝日新聞》報導，日本「豐田汽車」10月22號至26號，將關閉在中國大陸最大的裝配廠—-「天津工廠」的部分生產線。報導說，「豐田」做出這一決定的原因，是因為中日釣魚島的爭端，導致大陸的日本汽車需求量暴跌。
「豐田」天津廠擁有約13000名員工。去年組裝了約50萬輛汽車，佔「豐田汽車」中國全部生產能力的60％。
