Gold-resting Stone Tossed into the Real Word
---A View at the Reaction caused by Zhang Hongbao’s “Goal”
Zhao Heping
Mr. Zhang Hongbao’s article, “CCP's Post-nuclear Super Weapons and Its Geostrategic Goal”, is like a refreshing thunder from the high sky----it makes people who love world peace excited, also crushes the ambition of Jiang Zemin, the King of terror, to conquer the world. It is not hard to see the true face of the world from the reaction to the article, but it is even easier to see Mr. Zhang’s great wisdom and resolution.
What helps display the great wisdom of Mr.Zhang’s, is not only the power his article displays, but more in the fact that he chose such a time to publish it. We can see that, China is going to hold the annual PRC National People’s Assembly, which is related to the fact if Jiang Zemin reign will be ended or not. And what really decides if it will be the end of Jiang’s time is not only whether Jiang Zemin is going to hand over the power as the Chairman of national military committee, but more in the fact if Jiang will give up the highest powers as the heads of the five “leaders group”, or if the Assembly will demand him to resign from these posts. Even if all the above things will not happen, the game Jiang has been playing has been fully analyzed and exposed by Mr. Zhang’s outstanding article. This not only shows to the leader of all countries in the world that if Jiang stays in power, the world peace will be threatened; it also makes the representatives of the Assembly and powerful people out of Jiang’s circle to see the truth of this big scheme. In this way, Jiang’s evil ambition will be crushed.
It is easy to see that this article of Mr. Zhang’s was not a hurried work, but a nicely matured one, and had been stored in Mr. Zhang’s reservoir of wisdom for quite a while as “the deadly killer weapon”. Think about it, if this article was not published now, but published very early or quite late, the effect it caused wouldn’t have been so great. This is what people say, “A four grams weight can makes a weight of a thousand kilograms move”---that kind of wisdom and poise in handling extremely volatile and treacherous situation.
What shows Mr. Zhang’s resolution is not only in the grand power of this article, but more in the fact that he is in a dangerous situation himself. If it is not the great compassion he possesses, he wouldn’t have such boldness to do this.
And really here comes the threat of “Down with Zhang Hongbao” on the web. It even claims that “China and US made a deal” to use Wang Bingzhang to change for Zhang Hongbao. This is to intimidate Zhang with what Wang ended up in, also to remind people of Wang’s kidnapping and Zhang’s “supposed framing”. Yes, it is not impossible to get Zhang by offering Wang, because as early as March last year, the related US department informed Mr. Zhang’s lawyer, saying that they will review Mr. Zhang’s political asylum case. That was a conditional exchange between China and USA; it is also the specific picture in which Mr. Zhang’s dangerous situation (as mentioned above) is portrayed. But if weigh Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wang on the scales of today’s societal, political background, the two are way apart in weights, since the tiger in a cage only has the value of being looked at, and the tiger dashing down the mountain is the real power. If CCP really would like to exchange Wang for Zhang, it only means that Wang doesn’t even have the value of a caged tiger---he must have been merely a skin of a tiger. It is really curious how the people who are trying to intimidate Mr. Zhang are thinking. But any way, all the threats to Mr. Zhang only function as a more profound report and high praises to Mr. Zhang and his article from another angle. Nothing else.
On another hand, some responses to the article seem to be positive yet reflect something very intriguing. For example, there is an article talking about “five aspects that are worthwhile to watch about this Assembly” on Boxun.net. The “second aspect---‘perfect switch of power cores’ ” in this article is, “It is 100% definite that Jiang Zemin is going to hand over his power as the Chairman of National Military Committee.” Whether this “aspect” is the positive response to Mr. Zhang’s article “CCP's Post-nuclear Super Weapons and Its Geostrategic Goa”, (if you don’t want to hand over the power, it is beyond your will since it is already arranged.) or simply a high praise song by the author for the power core, it is definitely related to the effect caused by Mr. Zhang’s article. Anyway, the article didn’t mention the fact that Jiang still has the highest power by holding onto the posts of being the head of the five “leaders group”, neither touched the discussion of what will happen to these five titles. People couldn’t help wondering, if the author doesn’t know and doesn’t understand how Chinese politics work or he is simply creating a fog to cover up something?
Mr. Zhang’s article caused some interesting reactions among overseas Chinese democratic activists. Some politically sensitive organizations and people immediately acted upon this---they made a placard, praising Mr. Zhang for his courage and wisdom: alert the world, love world peace; at the same time, they started to urge the Chinese National Assembly which is in session to urge Jiang Zemin to hand over the powers. Some who have been claiming to be the political elites all along seem to have been lost at this critical political crossroads. Some even are singing a completely different tune. I can’t help wonder if these people are simply using their energy in the wrong direction---just to make frictions inside of overseas Chinese democratic campaign, or they are trying to discourage this political movement!
This is truly interesting. Mr. Zhang Hongbao’s words and behavior at this time put him in a high location in today’s political world. On the other hand, they also work like the legendary “gold-testing stone” in showing how much gold there is in different organizations and individuals.
