在当今中国，事情（贪污腐败），事件（新疆和田二十多人暴死），日期（六四），普通名词（俯卧撑），国际新闻（挪威爆炸），国内新闻（交通事故），历史（“反右”运动）总之，太阳之下的任何事情，在中国都可以变成烫手山芋。5.39.217.762 L6 N* ?, r7 e0 O

事情凑巧也不凑巧。就在赖昌星被从加拿大引渡押送返回中国的那一天，即7月23日，中国的新闻媒体一下子遇到好几个烫手山芋。于是，7月23日被中国网民普遍称作“神奇的日子。”5.39.217.76) G0 Z* Q6 ?; w! \+ l2 B

赖昌星是一个有严重犯罪嫌疑的人。加拿大是一个法治国家，不愿意包庇罪犯或犯罪嫌疑人。但加拿大又是一个禁止死刑的法治国家，受法律约束，不能把一个人，不管这个人是好人还是坏人送到另一个国家去受死。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb4 K- v" B1 v  a* C5 O* s

最后这个矛盾冲突是怎么解决的呢？美国《洛杉矶时报》记者大卫·皮尔森在7月23日发表的报道非常清晰明了，简明扼要。皮尔森报导的标题是：“加拿大引渡中国头号通缉犯。”TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。: r  E, s: }2 W7 j! ~7 e

在报道的正文里，皮尔森这样介绍了赖昌星被引渡的始末：

“赖昌星在加拿大法院要求庇护要求了10多年之后，加拿大联邦法院一位法官星期四作出裁决，准许赖昌星被引渡到中国。他将在那里面临多项刑事犯罪指控。

“米歇尔·肖尔法官说，加拿大得到了不同寻常的保证说，赖昌星不会受到酷刑或处决。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb& _# `  h, H' m; n9 y

“加拿大没有死刑，也禁止把在押人员遣送到可能处决他们的国家。5.39.217.768 }3 S: n. T0 q# e. P' {9 S

“中国也承诺准许加拿大官员在某些法律程序中陪伴赖昌星。”

加拿大主要的英文报纸之一多伦多《环球邮报》记者7月22日更新的报导，则提供了更进一步的详情：

“肖尔法官说，（中方作出的）承诺保证创造了政府对政府的一种新的合约气氛；赖昌星的命运现在就交在中方手中了。他说，那些保证也准许加拿大官员探望赖昌星，并且在他出席一些庭审的时候可以旁听；那些保证‘预示着采取另一条途径的希望，在那新的途径上，中国政府正式签字保证履行承诺。加中两国和其他国家还不能看到的未来将见证此案的结局。’”公仔箱論壇7 v3 Z6 z/ b. [3 K1 f3 p6 ?

《纽约时报》7月23日发表记者伊安·约翰逊和麦克尔·温恩斯的报道说：

“先前在逃的赖昌星涉嫌领导了一个走私集团，在1990年代后期导致中国政府大动荡，涉及被广泛认为已经被挑选来担任国家元首的习近平副主席。”

“这一案件的核心是赖昌星在沿海放任自流的厦门‘经济特区’的活动。当时，那里属担任福建省省长的习近平管辖。据当时的新闻报导，赖昌星的出逃导致中国领导层把习近平召入北京，解释这种盘根错节的腐败集团如何会在他的眼皮底下繁荣兴旺。”公仔箱論壇- u9 N' S- {; T6 w) f% Q, H9 f$ z9 G

赖昌星被引渡回中国之后，中国官方下令各家媒体不得擅自报道中国公众十分关心的赖昌星案件，只能用根据直接归中共宣传部门控制的新华社或中央电视台的报道进行报道，从而更加凸显赖昌星现在成了中共领导层的烫手山芋。

赖昌星先前多次表示，他掌握很多高层官员的情况，所以，他害怕被遣返回中国会遭到灭口。

如今，赖昌星被遣返回中国。这些话会让赖昌星死得更快，还是活得更长，现在还不清楚。但毫无疑问的是，他确实是一个烫手山芋，不但烫直接的当事人，也烫跟他的走私丑闻毫无关系的人。

烫手山芋赖昌星会逐渐或迅速地凉下来？还是会更加烫手，甚至变成具有放射性的政坛炸弹？赖昌星被审之后，贪污腐败是否会继续以势不可挡的势头在中国继续兴旺发展，还是中国政治改革从此开始，中国由此进入一个新时期？

世界舆论和中国公众在围观。加拿大政府和世界各地的反死刑组织也在替他捏着一把汗。

Chinese fugitive faces quick deportation after Federal Court loss SUNNY DHILLON VANCOUVER— Globe and Mail Update Published Thursday, Jul. 21, 2011 8:50PM EDTLast updated Friday, Jul. 22, 2011 4:35AM EDT Hailing assurances from the Chinese government that it will not torture or execute Lai Changxing as “strict, clear and unequivocal,” a Federal Court judge ruled against the high-profile fugitive, setting the stage for his deportation and ending a legal saga that has long hampered relations between Ottawa and Beijing. $ F( L: m+ u5 o/ Z% v- W) P6 p
Mr. Lai, who’s accused of masterminding a multibillion-dollar smuggling network that imported consumer goods in the city of Xiamen, had asked the court to stay a deportation order issued against him. The 52-year-old feared that like his brother and accountant he would meet a mysterious prison death.
But Mr. Justice Michel Shore said the assurances provided by the Chinese government nullified those concerns, capping a deportation fight that began when Mr. Lai was picked up at a Niagara Falls casino in 2000. 5.39.217.765 ~* ~6 o  B7 z) ~& l5 ^1 L
“It is assumed that the assurances of the Chinese government, as per its written promises, will be kept, as the Chinese government’s honour and face is, and will be, bound and kept respectively, by the monitoring for the lifetime of the applicant...,” Judge Shore wrote in his ruling, issued late Thursday.
Judge Shore said a new contractual government to government climate has been created by the assurances and Mr. Lai’s life is in China’s hands. He said the assurances, which also allow Canadian officials to visit Mr. Lai and sit in on some of his court hearings, “augur hope for a different way to be taken, in a newly unfolded path to which the Chinese government’s signature has been officially affixed for the commitments undertaken. The future, yet to be seen by both countries and others, will stand as witness to the outcome.”
The judge isn’t the only one to recently address a new relationship between Canada and China. - V4 q9 k; a4 M: ~6 _8 R
Mr. Lai was arrested just days before Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird headed to Beijing to bolster ties between the two countries. During his trip, Mr. Baird called China an “important ally” and asserted a “strategic partnership” on matters such as energy, natural resources, and international affairs. It was a change in tone from the early days of the Stephen Harper government, when comments about human
rights annoyed China, and Mr. Harper initially chose not to visit. Mr. Baird indicated the Conservative government felt little sympathy for Mr. Lai’s plight.
In a statement posted on the Chinese Foreign Ministry’s website, spokesman Ma Zhaoxu said: “We welcome the court's decision in Canada.” 5 o1 p1 x% b, N  z
When Mr. Lai will be deported remains unclear. The Canada Border Services Agency had first indicated it would remove him on July 25. But hours before the judgment was issued, a government lawyer said he could be sent back as early as Saturday. Judge Shore said Mr. Lai was scheduled to be “removal ready” on Friday.
“The CBSA does not share information about when a removal order will be enforced for the safety and security of all those involved,” a CBSA spokeswoman wrote in an e-mail. She said under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, removal orders must be enforced as soon as possible and that’s what the agency is committed to doing.
How long officials can keep the removal under wraps remains to be seen, with dozens of reporters following the case, creating a circus-like atmosphere at each hearing. tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb! J* E: |  M8 \) V0 H
Darryl Larson, one of Mr. Lai’s lawyers, had indicated to reporters Wednesday that Mr. Lai might be able to extend his time in Canada by asking the court to weigh in on a certified question. But David Matas, Mr. Lai’s other counsel, clarified those remarks Thursday and said his client could only ask such a question if the court ruled in his favour.
When asked if Mr. Lai had any legal options left if the court ruled against him, Mr. Matas simply told The Globe and Mail: “No.”
5.39.217.76  F6 W, {  O, r) u5 X. n

During the federal court
hearing, Mr. Matas had scoffed at the assurances provided by the Chinese government. He said they didn’t go far enough, wouldn’t keep his client safe, and wouldn’t ensure he received a fair trial.
He told the court Canadians were only promised access to “open court,” meaning officials couldn’t attend any hearings closed to the public – common practice for politically sensitive proceedings. He added that it would be next to impossible to find a lawyer to represent Mr. Lai who wasn’t influenced by the Communist Party, since the government had turned him into the “poster boy” for corruption.
But Judge Shore said none of the issues raised by Mr. Lai, due to the Chinese government’s assurances, amounted to clear and convincing proof necessary to support his irreparable harm claim. 5.39.217.76+ K; o# L6 F& M+ j: i
“Mr. Lai has provided no evidence in support of his stay motion that he would now be at risk upon return to China, due to the specific assurances provided.”
“Furthermore, it is apparent that Mr. Lai has been negotiating his return to China with the Chinese authorities,” the judge wrote, referring to evidence put forward by government lawyers. “This willingness to engage in negotiations to return to China belies the alleged risk of return to China.” 5.39.217.76; T2 z! g- v0 }- N) n. Y5 J# S. c8 n
Judge Shore called Mr. Lai a “common criminal fugitive” who had full access to Canada’s immigration process over the last 11 years.
In an interview with The Globe and Mail two years ago, Mr. Lai admitted skirting the law, but said he was merely taking advantage of perceived loopholes at a time of murky custom regulations.
He’s been held at a Maple Ridge jail since his arrest two weeks ago. TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。. R; o4 D6 u8 N  y: S5 o' |
In 2007, the Federal Court came to Mr. Lai’s rescue by overturning an Immigration Canada finding that he faced no risk if returned to China. The judge in that case ordered a new report, with more emphasis on the risk of torture. It took the government agency four years to complete its assessment.

BEIJING—China’s most wanted man, Lai Changxing, was welcomed home by the strong arm of the law Saturday, when he was off-loaded in handcuffs from an Air Canada flight from Vancouver by two burly police officers wearing white gloves.
For Lai, the alleged mastermind of a multi-billion dollar smuggling operation in China in the 1990s, it was the end of the road after 12 years on the run.
For the Chinese government, it was “a triumph for justice,” said state media.5.39.217.76' G& O, x# D+ z) b) K- f3 I7 P! g
“Lai’s repatriation once again shows that no matter where a criminal suspect flees, he or she cannot evade legal sanctions in the end,” the Ministry of Public Security said.公仔箱論壇0 t/ R: D7 j0 c- }) D
Lai was deported from Canada Friday after a federal court judge upheld a deportation order, calling Lai “a common criminal.”
Chinese officials here said police informed Lai that he was under arrest on his arrival, read him his rights – including the right to hire lawyers – and took him into custody.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb5 l7 L" @- _7 m5 d! \: ]- j
Chinese television showed a bespectacled Lai, 53, with thinning hair, wearing a light green polo shirt and dark slacks, firmly in the grasp of police as he alighted from the plane at about 4:45 p.m. local time.& ^5 e9 \  t4 n% z# b3 ^
Lv Rushun, a Taiwanese woman on the flight told The Star that Lai had been accompanied by “three or four” Canadian security personnel, and kept in the very last row of the plane.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb$ N# }* R' k( ~) E2 w
“Not everyone on the flight knew who he was,” she smiled. “But I did.”
It was testament to the fact that Lai is still a legend here.5.39.217.763 D0 q: `; ~1 ^2 a/ j
But under the current circumstances he appeared small and not at all like a man who once shook the very foundations of the powerful Communist Party.
But he did, allegedly by buying off local, provincial and even central government politicians with liquor, money and women in whatever quantities were needed to keep his operations running smoothly.
And the operations did, so smoothly that the government later wrote in a detailed report that Lai’s enterprises had hauled in $6.8 billion in goods and evaded $3.8 billion in taxes before he bolted in 1999, landing in Canada with his wife and two children on tourist visas.
The ministry said Saturday that Lai’s massive operations had “seriously disrupted China’s economic order and created huge economic losses for the nation.”5.39.217.769 A6 I% Y# y; [" u7 i
Chinese media however were careful over the weekend to portray Lai’s enterprise as mainly a local operation, contained in the southern Chinese city of Xiamen – aided and abetted by bad, local officials there.: [$ O7 w% A  ^  G5 L7 h7 I/ S
In truth, Lai’s influence reached into powerful provincial government circles and indeed right into Zhongnanhai, the central government’s headquarters in Beijing.5.39.217.767 v5 h% [0 ]/ r- N( A, O
No mention was made in Saturday news reports, for example, that Lai’s smuggling operations would never have succeeded were it not for the backing of Li Jizhou, then vice-minister of Public Security – the man who was actually supposed to be leading the government’s campaign to stop smuggling across the country.
But Lai, an illiterate peasant with a grade three education, persuaded Li to help him.) S$ D' O0 ?% {8 d' V, I$ K
The vice-minister was later given the death penalty, but his sentence was eventually commuted to life.
Thirteen others were also given death sentences, at least eight of whom have been executed.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb( d  R" T8 |0 m/ ^+ d! T+ @
Lai will not suffer that fate, whatever the outcome of his trial, because Chinese authorities had to give Canada a written undertaking that he would not face the death penalty – a pre-condition to his deportation.
Lai’s eventual trial, which is not expected to be “open” in any real sense since Chinese courts rarely allow people to attend, will almost certainly be held up as a showcase for the government’s ongoing battle against corruption.公仔箱論壇- p. Q8 ?6 j. p6 t
In fact, the Communist Party’s Global Times newspaper declared Saturday that Lai’s repatriation to face justice, “proves the Chinese government’s strong resolution to combating corruption.”
Still, government corruption is endemic in China.TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。5 W5 L" F9 ^$ @" E4 L
Even as people were reading about Lai’s repatriation this week, news landed that a former vice chairman of China Mobile, one of the country’s biggest state-owed telecommunications companies, was sentenced to death for pocketing more than $1 million in bribes.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb* K/ M- ^: D6 W
In fact the government’s own recently released figures show that more than 28,700 government officials were convicted of wrongdoing in 2010 – with close to 6,000 of those sentenced to more than five years in prison.
This week one Beijing taxicab driver opined that he didn’t believe Lai Changxing’s legendary charm was the key ingredient in his success.公仔箱論壇4 {" {  T6 L0 O4 A

BEIJING — In a closely watched case that could affect Chinese citizens in other Western countries, state security officials arrested China’s most-wanted fugitive on Saturday after Canadian authorities deported him, ending more than a decade of attempts to escape imprisonment here. 公仔箱論壇2 w. i.

Lai Changxing, 53, who is accused of running a corruption ring that caused government upheaval in the late 1990s, signed a warrant issued for his arrest as he arrived in Beijing on Saturday.

The former fugitive, Lai Changxing, 53, is suspected of leading a corruption ring that caused a major government upheaval in the late 1990s, touching the man widely expected to be chosen next year to lead China, Vice President Xi Jinping. 公仔箱論壇5 V0 [2 m- x! J- F4 m1 H7 p+ U/ h

Mr. Lai is accused of overseeing a smuggling ring from Xiamen, a coastal city opposite Taiwan, that netted as much as $10 billion before he fled China in August 1999. He later flew to Canada from Hong Kong and sought protection as a refugee, saying he faced torture or death should he be returned to China. " x$ j1 r* t% Q2 x& g
Mr. Lai’s 11-year legal battle to remain in Canada has long soured the two nations’ diplomatic relations.
His lawyer, David Matas, has said that both Mr. Lai’s accountant and his brother had died of unknown causes while in prison, and that Mr. Lai could face the same fate. China’s legal system could not provide him a fair trial, Mr. Matas contended. % a$ [% Q- [& R+ r! Y% u( C
But on Thursday, a Canadian federal court ruled against Mr. Lai, calling him a “common criminal” and saying it largely accepted as “strict, clear and unequivocal” China’s pledges that it would not torture or execute him. He was placed on a Beijing-bound airplane the next day, and was arrested after he landed on Saturday.
Chinese authorities have also promised the Canadian government that Mr. Lai will be tried in public and will be allowed to mount a defense against the smuggling charges. On Friday, China’s Foreign Ministry welcomed the decision, which capped years of exhaustive diplomatic efforts to have Mr. Lai returned to China to stand trial. In a statement quoted by the official news agency, Xinhua, the State Security Ministry said that “no matter where a criminal suspect flees, he or she cannot evade legal sanctions in the end.”
In Beijing, the state-run English-language newspaper China Daily reported Saturday that Mr. Lai could face life in prison. 5.39.217.76- u4 C1 }2 C/ Q8 e) A+ G: \) k
Some Western human rights organizations have cast doubt on China’s guarantees of a fair trial. A Hong Kong-based researcher for Human Rights Watch, Nicholas Bequelin, said in an interview that China was likely to avoid “blatant procedural violations” in order to show Western countries that it could deal fairly with sensitive cases, like those of Uighur separatists who have claimed asylum in the West but are charged with crimes in China. : P! N- i4 p* f3 P7 z' I
“This is undoubtedly a test case,” Mr. Bequelin said. “It will establish a precedent, and much is at stake.” 公仔箱論壇5 P9 b. N0 S. y% P8 {6 X: V$ v9 \) B
The case centers on Mr. Lai’s activities in the freewheeling coastal “special economic zone” of Xiamen (formerly known as Amoy), which was under Mr. Xi’s purview when he was governor of Fujian Province. According to reports at the time, Mr. Lai’s flight led the country’s leadership to summon Mr. Xi to Beijing to explain how such an elaborate corruption ring had been allowed to flourish under his watch.
Mr. Lai was head of the Yuanhua group, which built an 88-story tower in Xiamen as well as clubs and housing developments. He was accused of heading a $10 billion scheme to bribe customs officials to import cars and oil into China, evading millions of dollars in taxes. Before fleeing, he had enjoyed widespread government support, including a prestigious position with a group that advises the governing Communist Party on policy.
Mr. Lai was first arrested in Canada a year after he fled, at a casino in Niagara Falls. Canadian courts consistently rejected his claim to asylum status but refused to send him back to China. ( v* y3 b* l: y# ~
The atmosphere changed this year after the newly elected government of Stephen Harper sent its foreign minister to China. Reversing the government’s previous critical stance on China’s human rights record, he hailed China as a strategic ally and, referring to Mr. Lai, said that “both the Canadian people and the Chinese people don’t have a lot of time for white-collar fraudsters.” TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。2 q- H: h6 w; c+ c* w& _  I

BBC  分析：賴昌星回國受審和高層政治

加拿大聯邦法院周四晚間駁回了賴昌星暫緩遣返的要求，這樣一來賴昌星可能最早在周六就會被遣返回中國。

中國對加拿大法庭判決表示歡迎，同時反駁了關於賴昌星在中國會面對刑罰和死刑的指稱。不過有律師和人權活動人士一直對賴昌星能否在中國能夠得到公正審判表示擔憂。
tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb% ?3 @: p7 A! [
賴昌星被指其所屬的遠華集團賄賂官員大規模從事走私活動。遠華案涉及200多名高級官員。

涉及遠華案被審判的有300多人，其中14人被判死刑，其中包括省級官員和一名公安部副部長。北京一直高調利用遠華案作為反腐的樣板。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb& d  L/ k( \/ l% g( N& ~
5.39.217.76) M7 @9 @6 Q# I+ T' R5 y
至於賴昌星被遣返是否開啟了眾多被通緝外逃經濟犯罪者被遣返的大門，香港評論員劉銳邵對BBC中文網說，他認為這要取決於外逃人員所在國家同中國的關係，而賴昌星案最近有結果同加拿大同中國經濟關係越來越重要有關係。2 h/ @" Y5 A" {; r

當然中國也對加拿大方面的司法關注做出讓步，方便了賴昌星被遣返的判決程序。( v6 T# ^1 C  x' O/ \/ K
政治衝擊
90年代中期賴昌星華遠走私案發時，中共權力核心人物賈慶林，習近平和賀國強都在福建省擔任省市級主管。有分析說，賴昌星在中共18大前被遣返，預示著高層權力交接前有激烈爭奪。

劉銳邵表示，賴昌星被遣返應該同18大前夕中共高層的權利角逐有關，但是他認為習近平的地位未必會受到影響，因為遠華案發時習近平只是福建省一個城市的主管官員。

賴昌星被遣返在中文互聯網上成了最熱門話題之一，引發網民對官員腐敗的更多批評。賴昌星的律師說，中國許多腐敗官員希望賴昌星回國受審能夠把公眾的注意力從正在進行的反腐敗行動上吸引開。公仔箱論壇* M) |) e  g; [' {% D/ l

不過許多分析認為，賴昌星在中共18大權力交接前回國必然會引發政治衝擊，中共高層官員中，曾經主政福建的賈慶林會特別受到關注。
% T0 H* X7 I# T) X$ [
但劉銳紹認為，中共已有對遠華案劃線的做法，即副部級以上的高官不受牽連，而且賈慶林還有一年退休，所以出於維護政治穩定的需要，當局不會有大動作懲處位居權力核心的高官。
