At the time of the death anniversary of Hu Yaobang on April 15 and 25th year of Tian'Anmen Square Massacre on June 4th,what sort of signal is unleashed by Hu Jintao's trip? Hu Jintao's activities have been rarely publicly reported since he retired. But recently, the situation has been changed: on April 9, he visited the Yuelu Academy located inside Hunan University. on April 11 morning, accompanied by the CCP Head of Hunan Province and officials of other levels, he visited Hu Yaobang's former residence and the exhibition hall. During the visit, Hu Jintao bowed to Hu Yaobang's bronze statue. Hu Yaobang was one of the key leaders of the CCP in 1980s and the specific executant of rectifying the unjust , false and erroneous cases in early times. In 1987, he was accused of ineffectively opposing the bourgeois liberalization and then forced to resign by conservative elders of the CCP. On April 15 of 1989, Hu Yaobang died of disease. Several tens of thousands of students mourned him in Tian'Anmen Square, which later evolved into the world-stunning "Democratic Movement in 1989" till the out-break of the "June 4th Holocaust". After "June 4th Incident", the CCP Authority did not give open evaluation on Hu Yaobang including avoiding mentioning Hu Yaobang in political and historical textbooks as much as possible. Beijing senior media practitioner Gao Yu says, the current CCP Head Xi Jinping should have been aware of Hu Jintao's trip beforehand. Gao Yu: "Hu Jintao's trip was arranged by the Office of Central Committee of CCP and this is not his personal action. You may note Hu Jintao was accompanied by the CCP Head of Hunan Province, the local county's CCP Head and other local heads. In addition, there was a secret service security guard." It is not long before Gao Yu published the article "How 'Master Kang' becomes 'breakwater'? on Radio Free Asia. The article says, the former CCP's law-and-order chief Zhou Yongkang is not only shielded by the Former CCP Head Jiang Zemin, but also a united guard from the retired former allied standing committee members of politburo including Jia Qinglin, Li Changchun and Wu Bangguo. Cable TV Hong Kong cited quotes from Beijing scholar Zhang Lifan, Beijing high level deferred the publication of the news of attacking "Big Tiger", and the exposure of the corruption case of military high level official Gu Junshan. In view of these, "Hu Jintao's turn-up is just injecting cardiotonic needle for encouraging Xi Jinping to 'Attack Tiger'." Zhang Lifan says, the action of Xi Jinping's "Attacking Tiger" will probably continue, and this upsets the elders of the CCP, so Xi "urgently needs support". Gao Yu thinks, Hu Jintao is not power-mad like Jiang Zemin, so he transferred all powers completely to Xi Jinping. Gao Yu points out, Hu Jintao has the right of speech but gives very few. Such a visit is to show a sort of political attitude, which supports Xi Jinping's anti-corruption. Gao Yu: "Since June 4th incident, during Jiang Zemin's time, the corruption inside the CCP was very prevalent and a bigshot class formed. As a CCP Head, he is responsible for the cases of Zhou Yongkang and Bo Xilai. Originally, he had no political background supporters. He becomes the CCP Head and this is due to a word released by Deng Xiaoping. He was also constrained by all sorts of power including the CCP's power and the rights of Jiang Zemin." Gao Yu says, Hu Jintao's civilian background has been contained by the CCP institution and his political orders cannot go beyond Zhongnanhai. So the corruption of the CCP during his term becomes more severe. The recent investigation of the CCP on Zhou Yongkang shows: Zhou Yongkang's family has a wealth of at least 90 billion RMB including 37 billion in bank accounts, overseas bonds with a vaue of 51 billion RMB, apartments and villas with a value of 1.7 billion, 1 billion in antiques and ancient calligraphy and paintings, and 60 cars. Zelin, who has been in China for 20 years and is a DW's Columnist, says that Xi Jinping attacking Zhou Yongkang triggered a forbidden area. Because the role of politburo's standing committee member is a very powerful one for Zhou Yongkang at that time. He was also responsible for internal security. So to attack that tiger is very dangerous. Beijing political observer Hua Po says, the trip of Hu Jintao visiting Hu Yaobang's former residence is not only for standing by Xi Jinping, but also for releasing the signal of the alliance among the Communist Youth League (CYL) faction, freedom faction and Princelings. 《神韵》2014世界巡演新亮点 http://www.ShenYunPerformingArts.org/
