【新唐人2011年10月20日讯】就在中共十七届六中全会刚刚降下帷幕，广东传来暂停新闻管制禁令、鼓励"舆论监督"的政令，这与中共一向严控新闻自由的态度似乎背道而驰。身为广东省委书记的汪洋为什么敢于下这个新闻管制的松绑令？他的背后有什么后台在支撑？引起多方的揣测。
《德国之声》的消息说，上周，汪洋在一个内部会议上，“布置” 广东省的媒体开展“舆论监督报导”。 10月18号，有媒体人在微博透露了一个“内部消息”说，广东省委宣传部近期暂停任何禁止或限制性的宣传指令。
这个看似鼓舞人心的消息却让广东传媒人士充满疑虑，一位媒体人在微博上说，“本是好事却引来怀疑，不信任弥漫在每一个人心中”。
广州媒体人孙晓素在微博上说，“这种事老是第一反应就是，到底想干嘛？背后有何政治图谋。”
广州作家野渡向《新唐人》表示，从种种迹象看，这个传言应该是真的，积极意义是有的，但还是有不能报导的内容。
广州作家野渡：“包括那个执政地位、腐败是那个极权引起的等等，这些也是下了一个明确的命令，也就是目前放开舆论也还是有着比较大的限制的。”
广州中山大学传媒学院研究调查新闻的副教授张志安在微博上说，乍一看，挺高兴，仔细想，又郁闷。
广东媒体人野火表示，可以理解张志安的想法。
广东媒体人野火：“汪洋很多次的讲话，允许民主的声音存在的讲话是令人振奋的，但是实行起来呢，就并不是那么理想，还是与他承诺的有距离，这个也可以理解，身在那种最高的利益集团，很难一下子一杆子插到底的，他周围还有保守势力的，他必须平衡。 ”
近来，随着中共十八大的临近，汪洋和重庆市委书记的明争暗斗也陷入白热化状态。从对所谓的“蛋糕论”南辕北辙的解读，到“广东模式”和“重庆模式”的比拼，汪洋的这次举动，也被网友质疑为是政争的权宜之计。
野火认为，汪洋下这个令不会是心血来潮，肯定是经过上层的默许。野火猜测，汪洋的底气来自于以胡锦涛为主的中共高层势力。
汪洋是安徽籍。胡锦涛、李克强、汪洋一直被认为是中共领导层内共青团派的核心──“安徽帮”。而李克强和汪洋都是胡锦涛属意的“第五代领导人”。
《世界经济导报》政治法律编辑张伟国认为，胡锦涛一直在刻意扶持汪洋。
《世界经济导报》政治法律编辑张伟国：“汪洋在过去这些年广东的政绩并不理想，无论从舆论开放和经济发展，还是从体制的转型，比他的前面几任广东的第一把手，相对来讲，都不见得有特别的政绩。而胡温，特别是胡锦涛，每一次的好处，几乎都是向广东倾斜。不管什么大事小事。”
今年8月，胡锦涛在出席了深圳大运会开幕式后，又到了广州著名商业步行街北京路。胡锦涛的广东行被认为是“挺汪”之举，为他更上层楼造势。而薄熙来所推崇的“重庆模式”被认为走文革路线，开历史倒车，不仅被民间所诟病，据说不少中共高层也表示反感。
《世界经济导报》政治法律编辑张伟国：“重庆固然有他们的做法，广东向来是被寄予政治体制改革特区的期待，党内外都有人要求。汪洋这一步如果走出去的话，就是名副其实的政治改革了。所以这一点，未来的一年，就是在十八大之前，大家是可以好好检验的。”
张伟国认为，即使广东对新闻管制实行松绑的消息属实，能不能被北京以及其他的省份所接受还是一个问号。而且，与刚刚结束的六中全会，用“文化改革”来加强控制的思路也是背道而驰的。他认为，汪洋冒的风险是很大的。一旦成功就是政治体制改革的一个突破。
不过，张伟国也指出，新闻自由的概念，大陆与海外的概念是完全不同。
张伟国：“他们的语境与我们的不是一样的。在我们这个理解上，和他们这个理解上的新闻自由、新闻开放完全是两个概念。也希望海外同仁要千万当心的。”
张伟国表示，汪洋的做法还是需要观察。因为报禁和党禁是共产党的禁区，也是中共最后的遮羞布。

Guangdong Releases Press Embargo Arousing Doubts
Anchor:
The Sixth Plenary Session of Communist Party (CCP)
Congress has just wound down. News about Guangdong’s
official instruction, orders to suspend the press embargo
and encourage watchdog journalism.
This seemingly runs counter to the CCP’s usual practice of
controlling the media.
Why did Wang Yang, Guangdong CCP Secretary,
dare to issue such an instruction?
What background lies behind his actions?
This has aroused great speculation.
Reporter:
Voice of Germany reported that last week, Wang Yang
instructed Guangdong’s media to report public opinions.
On 18th October, a media professional revealed “internal
information" on his microblog, saying that Propaganda
Department of Guangdong CCP Committee
recently suspended any instruction to ban or
restrict media reporting.
However, this seemingly encouraging news arouses
doubts of local media professionals. One of them wrote
in his microblog, “this was originally a good thing but has led
to suspicions. Mistrust permeates through everyone’s heart."
A Guangzhou media professional said on his microblog,
“The first reaction to such a thing is always like this:
what on earth is their purpose?
What is the political conspiracy behind this?”
Guangzhou-based writer, Ye Du, told NTD that,
all the indications show this rumor to be true.
It has a positive side, but there are still some contents
that cannot be reported.
Ye Du: " (The aspects cannot be touched) include CCP’s
ruling position, the root cause of corruption
is absolute among others. On these aspects,
the CCP have clear instructions. That is to say:
currently, the release of the press embargo
has relatively large restrictions.”
Zhang Zhi’an, an associate professor of journalism at
Sun Yat-sen Univ. in Guangzhou, wrote on his microblog
that at first sight, he felt happy, but after careful thinking,
he felt depressed again.
Guangzhou media professional, Ye Huo, expresses that
Zhang Zhi’an’s thought has been understood.
Ye Huo: " Wang Yang’s many speeches are inspiring,
for he allowed the existence of democratic voices.
But in reality, it is not ideal for implementing.
There still lies some distance to his commitment.
This is also understandable. He is among the members
of the top-level interests group. It is hard to have everything
completely resolved in one blow. There are conservative
forces around him, so he must keep the balance. “
Recently, as the 18th CCP Congress approaches, the power
struggle between Wang Yang and Bo Xilai, Chongqing
CCP Secretary, heated up. Back from Wang’s polar opposite
interpretation of Bo’s “cake” theory, to the competition
between “Guangdong Model" and “Chongqing Model".
This time, Wang Yang’s action was also questioned
by the public that this is his expedient method aiming to
gain political power.
Ye Huo analyzed that Wang Yang did not make the
order on a whim.
The action must have gained permission from the
CCP top-level. Ye Huo estimates that Wang Yang’s
confidence was supported by the CCP top-level
led by Hu Jintao.
Wang Yang comes from Anhui province. Hu Jintao,
Li Keqiang and Wang Yang are labeled Anhui Gangs,
the kernel of the Youth League faction in the CCP’s
top-level leadership.
Both Li Keqiang and Wang Yang are Hu Jintao’s preferred
candidates for CCP’s fifth generation of leaders.
Zhang Weiguo, political and legal editor of
World Economic Herald, comments that all along,
Hu Jintao has been intentionally supporting Wang Yang.
Zhang Weiguo: “Over the past few years, Wang Yang’s
official achievement is not ideal. In the field of public
opinion, opening-up or the economic development or
the economic system reform, Wang Yang has not
obtained more special achievements than previous
Guangdong CCP top leaders.
However, Hu and Wen, in particular Hu Jintao,
always support Guangdong with more benefits,
on every thing at every time. ”
This August, Hu Jintao attended the opening ceremony
of Shenzhen Universiade. Afterwards, he went to
Guangzhou visiting the local famous pedestrian street,
Beijing Road. Hu’s trip to Guangdong was considered to
give support to Wang, a build-up for Wang’s stepping up
to a new height.
In contrast, the Chongqing Model promoted by Bo Xilai,
was criticized to take the Cultural Revolution route,
reversing history. Sources said that many CCP top-level
members expressed disgust with Bo’s action.
Zhang Weiguo: “Chongqing follows its own path.
But Guangdong has always been highly expected to be
a special area for the political system of reform.
The expectation comes from both inside and outside
the CCP. If Wang Yang’s move is implemented
this time, it would be real political reform. So this point,
next year, that is before the 18th CCP congress,
can be well tested by the public.”
Zhang Weiguo comments that even if the news of releasing
the press embargo is true, whether the practice can be
accepted by Beijing and other provinces is still questionable.
What’s more, this runs counter to the just-concluded CCP
Sixth Plenary Session, which proposed to strengthen
control with the “cultural reform".
Zhang Weiguo believes that Wang Yang is
taking quite a big risk. Once the action is successful,
it will be a breakthrough in political system reform.
Zhang Weiguo also points out that the concept of
freedom of media in mainland China,
is completely different from that of overseas community.
Zhang Weiguo: “Their context is not the same as ours.
Our understanding of the freedoms of media and
media openness, are totally different from their concepts.
So I hope that the overseas peers are careful on this."
Zhang Weiguo said that Wang Yang’s practice needs
more time to observe. Because the press ban and
ban on political parties are restricted areas of the CCP,
and also its “last fig leaf”.
