Has Jiang Zemin Regained Influence to Support Zhou Yongkang?
Commentators: Zhou is In Crisis and Jiang is Playing with Fire.

Wang Lijun’s case felled Bo Xilai , and according to
public opinion, the next target of Hu-Wen is Zhou Yongkang, who is the real boss of Jiang Zenmin’s “Blood Debt Faction”.
Overseas media have reported a lot of negative news
on Zhou, for example, the British “Sunday Times” reported that Zhou is corrupt, lustful and even that he killed his ex-wife.
During the last few days, some media have said
that Jiang Zemin and other leaders in his faction went to Beijing to support Zhou Yongkang.
On overseas websites, there were also many discussions
about Jiang meeting with a CEO of an American coffee group.
What is true and what is false?
Let’s listen to the commentators!

A netizen "Jiao Fu” posted a news online:
“when Jiang Zemin and Zeng Qinghong arrived in Beijing,
they had a discussion with representatives from the
Politburo as well as from the military.
They tried their best to free Zhou and said that
they strongly support Zhou, and they criticized Hu Jintao.

Heng He, a current affairs’ commentator said that
Jiang’s faction has no successor if Zhou is lost.
Of course they will support Zhou, but the issue is that
Jiang doesn’t have the power to compete with Hu Jintao, and Hu-Wen started to deal with Zhou a while ago.
It’s less possible that Jiang will support Zhou in high-profile.

Heng He:"The meeting information is completely a rumor
that is spread with intent.
It wants the public to feel that Jiang still has power, and
can still interfere with the political situation.
I believe this is completely a certain person or group
that wants the public to feel that Jiang has the power to protect Zhou.
In fact, it just shows that Zhou Yongkang can’t be protected.”

The website has other information that Jiang Zemin
met with Howard Schultz, the CEO of Starbucks Corp.,
but the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) media
didn’t mention this news, in addition
the words Jiang Zemin met Starbucks’ CEO” are banned
from use as key words for searching on SINA Micro-blog.

Zhang Tianliang, a current affairs’ commentator thought that
according to Jiang’s known character, he should show in the early beginning if he can move.
So, the meeting with Schultz must be false news.

Zhang Tianliang: "He can use as an excuse the writing of
some words for an entity to let others see him 'by chance’.
In the current situation, it is said that he met with
the CEO of Starbucks,
however the Foreign Affairs Ministry said that they haven’t
any related information when reporters checked with them.”

Lan Shu, another current affairs’ commentator said that,
if Zhou Yongkang was controlled by Hu-Wen, then the next one to be controlled should be Jiang Zemin.

Lan Shu: "Jiang Zemin is very clear that this is his last try.
So for Jiang , in this situation, to protect Zhou Yongkang is to protect himself.
His hands are full of the blood of Falun Gong practitioners.”

Zhang Tianliang pointed out that no matter whether
this information is true or not, it’s stupid to take this action.
This action only will push Hu-Wen to move the whole of
Jiang Zemin’s faction.

Zhang Tianliang : "At this time, if you push Jiang Zemin
to stand in the front, means to push all those involved in the Jiang Faction’s crimes to the front.
That means that if Zhou will be moved out, Jiang will also be
moved out altogether.
Also the more active they are now,
the bigger the threat they are to Hu-Wen.”

Although internet rumours said Zhou Yongkang wouldl be
moved out soon, but the Chinese media have reported
that Zhou met with communist officials from Cuba
on April 17, and visited Hubei from April 18 to April 20.

Another source has said that Zhou is fighting
to save his position.
He is searching for an opportunity to show his face on TV, but
the authorities are investigating him.

Zhang Tianliang thought that the investigation of Zhou
must have already been started secretly a long time ago.
If Hu-Wen plan to move him out, they will wait until Wen
gets back to China on April 28.

Heng He pointed out that the power struggle within the CCP
needs a process.
The information that will be distributed from the senior level
to the basic level, will need internal decisions which will have leverage on public opinion.
Before Hu-Wen take any action,
Zhou has yet some time to play.

I took the lazy man's way with this one, and used red text to note what sounded somewhat unnatural, but not wrong. The blue text rings true. Maybe someone else would like to analyze the entire post.

I forgot to ask if you were color blind.

It reads like a thriller.

Lustful and murderous intent, who can say which came first, the bounder.
