中共五中全會26日在北京開幕。中國國家主席習近平掌權10多年來持續推動反腐與政治整肅,卻仍批評部分官員陽奉陰違、未忠實執行命令,要求進一步加強整頓。在中共為2027年二十一大高層人事布局預做準備之際,這項對官員忠誠度的持續疑慮,成為外界觀察這場權力整肅的重要核心。
《紐約時報》26日刊登駐台首席中國記者儲百亮(Chris Buckley)的報導指出,習近平今年稍早在一場講話中,以病樹比喻貪腐官員,主張「該拔的病樹就要拔,該砍的就要砍」,批評部分官員表面服從,實際上卻未忠實執行命令。這段講話本月才對外公布。
儘管五中全會已經開幕,但因全程閉門保密,官方並未公布實際與會人數。《紐約時報》指出,2022年中共二十大選出的376名中央委員中,去年出席中央委員會會議的人數已降至315人。報導在五中全會開幕前預估,考量部分官員遭開除黨籍、接受調查或下落不明,本次會議出席人數可能進一步降至約300人或更少。
報導指出,前重慶市長黃奇帆及北京市副市長夏林茂近期遭到調查;曾主導習近平早期反腐行動的前國家副主席王岐山,多名昔日幕僚也遭拘留或降職。不過,相關案件原因尚不清楚,王岐山本人並未遭指控不法。
整肅高層難消疑慮 基層官員怕犯錯
《紐約時報》將持續整肅與2027年二十一大的人事布局連結。中共屆時將進行新一輪高層人事安排,報導引述專家分析,習近平可能希望確保新一批官員服從其路線。
然而,持續整肅也可能讓官員更不敢冒險。《紐約時報》引述研究指出,部分官員因害怕承擔風險而士氣低落,房地產危機則重創長期依賴賣地收入的地方政府財政。
該研究共同作者、澳洲國立大學中國研究中心主任希爾曼(Ben Hillman)指出,地方政府尤其是農村地區往往缺乏足夠能力與資源,滿足中央下達的各項要求。他說,基層官員「有時只能弄虛作假、敷衍應付」。
