【新唐人2011年9月12日訊】新出版的《朱鎔基講話實錄》一書，功過是非引起外界爭議，焦點集中在財稅改革、國有企業改革、住房改革、教育醫療產業化等多方面。由於這本書推出時正值江澤民病危，也是在十月即將召開的十七屆六中全會前夕，北京消息披露朱鎔基的新書牽動中南海權力鬥爭。
《朱鎔基講話實錄》這本書記錄了朱鎔基早在1993年就警告：「投資過大很可能引發嚴重的通貨膨脹」。他在2003年最後一次主持國務院全體會議時，批評浮誇作風，並提到「中國的泡沫經濟已經形成，房地產過熱，風險太大」。
但是，不少專家學者認為，朱鎔基時代開始推行的分稅制，實質就是中央財政集權，造成地方財政弱勢，是高房價的深層原因，地方政府倚重土地財政直接推高房價。
草庵居士政治經濟評論家：「賣地財政、土地財政都是從朱鎔基時代開始的。所以朱鎔基雖然他意識到房地產這個問題，但是他為了維持中共的統治，他一直在縱容這個事情。朱鎔基本身是兩面性的，他有意願要推動改革，但是他本身是一個頑固的體制維護者。」
《北京之春》雜誌主編胡平指出，朱鎔基大力推進國企改革，造成了幾千萬國企職工下崗，共產黨權貴借改革之機，把屬於全體人民的財產據為己有，化公為私，是一次史無前例的大搶劫。
朱鎔基的兒子朱雲來，1990年代末安排了對「中金公司」實質上的收購，現任「中金公司」董事長，2004年被美國《財富》雜誌評為「亞洲最具影響力的商界領袖」之一。朱鎔基的女兒朱燕來，現任中國銀行(香港)發展規劃部總經理。
朱鎔基親自督辦「遠華走私案」時， 他的心腹愛將、「光大集團」原董事長朱小華案同時案發。《遠華案黑幕》作者盛雪指出，兩案的結果是一種政治交換，朱小華被留下活口，賈慶林進入中央政治局。
張偉國(香港《動向》雜誌主編)：「中共的機器是一個很大的絞肉機，你再好的人進去以後也被這樣一個罪惡的機器同化掉，朱鎔基應該講是一個例證，這些他家屬的狀況，跟他自己上臺的時候信誓旦旦要滾地雷陣、要準備100口棺材，就形成了一個鮮明的對照。」
香港《動向》雜誌主編張偉國認為，朱鎔基主政期間，是中國歷史上腐敗最嚴重的時期。
對於日益激化的官民矛盾、貧富兩極化加劇等許多社會問題，他負有不可推卸的責任。
不過，1999年「4.25」萬名法輪功學員和平上訪，朱鎔基以對話的方式處理，並且不支持鎮壓，受到外界廣泛稱讚。但是，在江澤民鎮壓法輪功以後，朱鎔基卻多次以誣蔑之詞表態嚴懲法輪功。
《朱鎔基講話實錄》第四卷透露，他曾經對愛爾蘭女總統表示，「你們只了解中國三件事情：第一，人權；第二，西藏；第三，『法輪功』。」朱鎔基還在第四卷中說「從來沒有失掉共產主義的信念」。
《南方週末》8號刊發了朱鎔基的兩篇文章，其中一篇題為《如果本屆政府都是「好好先生」，我們就對不起人民》。但在北京報攤上相關版面都被抽掉。
《博訊網》11號披露中辦領導的來信說，逼近十八大，朱鎔基文集高調推出，而且又是在江澤民發不出聲音的時候，這個時機對中南海胡溫並不太妙。甚至有官員認為，朱也想在十八大人事中安插兩個得力人事，確保下一個十年，朱家依然有勢力。
草庵居士：「朱鎔基在十八大之前出這套書，是一個比較敏感的時機，在中國的目前狀況，確實到了一個政治、經濟都非常緊要的關頭。在經濟上遇到了經濟的危機﹔在政治上，中共黨內已經失去了強人政權、強人的統治，所以在這個時候、交接班的時候，各個派別、各個勢力會出來。」
《路透社》報導指出，朱鎔基講話的出版，既是為自己辯護，也被視為在明年中共領導層大換班前對共產黨的間接批評，在政治圈內引起了紛亂。

Zhu Rongji』s Speeches Affect Zhongnanhai Power Struggle
The newly published book “Zhu Rongji』s Speeches" arouses
controversy over this ex-premier』s contributions and faults.
The controversy focuses on the aspects covering fiscal
reform, state-owned enterprise reform, housing reform
and industrialization of education and health care.
The book launch coincided with Jiang Zemin』s critical
condition and on the eve of the upcoming 6th plenary meeting
of the 17th session of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
News from Beijing revealed that Zhu』s new book will
affect the power struggle in Zhongnanhai.
Zhu Rongji』s Speeches includes Zhu』s speech back in 1993.
Zhu warned, “Exceedingly large investments will probably
lead to serious inflation." In 2003, at the plenary meetings
of CCP』s State Council that Zhu hosted for the last time,
he criticized the grandiose work style and said,
“China’s economic bubble has been formed,
overinflated real estate is too risky. “
However, many experts believe the tax distribution system
Zhu Rongji launched is in essence
authoritarian finance centralization.
It caused weakness of local government
finance and high housing costs.
Local governments rely heavily on profits from land,
directly pushing up the house prices.
Cao』an Jushi (political and economic commentator):
“Both land-sale finance and land-based finance began in
the era of Zhu Rongji.
Zhu was aware of the real estate issue, but in order to
maintain the CCP』s ruling, he condoned the matter entirely.
Zhu himself is two-faced. His is willing to promote reform,
but on the other hand, he is a diehard system defender.
Hu Ping, Editor-in-Chief of Beijing Spring Magazine,
points out that Zhu Rongji vigorously promoted reform of
state-owned enterprises,
causing lay-offs for tens of millions of workers.
The influential CCP officials seized such an opportunity.
They appropriated the property that
belonged to the people, embezzled public property.
This is an unprecedentedly large robbery.
Zhu Yunlai, son of Zhu Rongji, arranged acquisition of
China International Capital Corporation (CICC) in 1990』s.
Zhu Yunlai is the current Chairman of CICC. In 2004,
he was selected by the U.S. Fortune Magazine
as one of Asia’s most influential business leaders.
Zhu’s daughter Zhu Yanlai is the current General Manager
of Planning and Development Department at
Bank of China (Hong Kong).
When Zhu Rongji personally intervened in the Yuan Hua
Smuggling Case, his henchman Zhu Xiaohua,
ex-chairman of China Everbright Group, was exposed.
Sheng Xue, author of the book Unvealing the Yuanhua Case,
pointed out that two cases end up with a political exchange.
Zhu Xiaohua was left alive, and Jia Qinglin entered
the CCP』s Politburo.
Cheung Wai Kwok (editor-in-chief,
Trend magazine, Hong Kong):
“The CCP regime is a big meat grinder machine. Whoever
joins the CCP will be assimilated into such an evil machine.
Zhu is a typical example. His family members』 social status
forms a sharp contrast with his remarks.
When he came to power, he said matter-of-factly that
he had prepared 100 coffins and was ready to roll minefield."
Cheung believes that the era of Zhu Rongji is
the period of worst corruption in the Chinese history.
Zhu cannot shirk responsibility for many social problems,
such as intensified conflicts between officials and civilians,
as well as the increasing polarization between rich and poor.
On April 25, 1999, 10,000 Falun Dafa practitioners made
a peaceful appeal to the CCP』s government.
Zhu Rongji resolved the issue through dialogue and
did not support repression. His action received wide praise.
However, after Jiang Zemin launched the persecution of
Falun Dafa practitioners,
Zhu repeatedly vilified and declared severe
punishment to Falun Dafa practitioners.
Zhu Rongji』s Speeches (Volume IV) reveals that
Zhu even told Mary McAleese, president of Ireland,
“You only need to know about three things in China:
The 1st is human rights, the 2nd,Tibet,
and the 3rd, Falun Dafa.‘
In Volume IV, Zhu wrote that he
“never lost faith in communism."
On Sept. 8, Southern Weekend published Zhu』s two articles.
One article entitled “If the current government is considered
good and nice, we are sorry for the people."
However, this page was removed from the newspapers
in newspaper stands in Beijing.
Boxun.com revealed on Sept. 11 that an official from
the General Office of CCP State Council wrote a letter
saying that as the CCP』s
18th National Congress approaches,
the high profile launch of Zhu Rongji』s Speeches
during a time when Jiang Zemin is unable to speak
is not a good timing for Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao.
Some officials even think that Zhu Rongji also wants to
place several confidants in the CCP』s 18th National
Congress during the personnel changes
to secure the power of Zhu』s family in the next decade.
Cao』an Jushi: “Zhu Rongji launched this book on the eve
of CCP』s 18th Congress. This is sensitive timing. China has
arrived at a very critical moment for its politics and economy.
In terms of economy, China is facing an economic crisis.
Politically, the CCP regime has lost its strongman rule.
So, at this moment of its leadership succession,
all factions and all forces of the CCP will come out and play."
Reuters report that the publishing of Zhu Rongji’s Speeches
defends Zhu himself, also the speech is regarded as
an indirect criticism of the CCP before its leadership
reshuffle in the next year.
The book causes confusion in political circles.
NTD reporters Chang Chun, Li Yuanhan and Zhou Tian.
