治标不治本,这样的改革有多大意义?就像一个癌症病人,再怎么用药那也只能延迟一下死期而已。要反腐,却不敢公办官员财产;要市场化,却不敢土地私有;要民生,却不敢谈民主;要法治,却不敢谈宪政。。。这样的改革说到底不过为了巩固某些人的利益,到时候实在撑不住了方向一转,就成第二个俄罗斯了。

【张思之:我对《全会决议》司法改革部分并不乐观】废除劳教应当肯定,但要密切注意公安机关在执法过程中有没有新的“法外制度”替代劳教制度。比如刑法中的一些口袋罪是适用问题。决议写的再好,没有具体措施跟进,司法机关不能摆脱工具地位,司法改革就不能彻底深入下去。

说了一大片,看懂了,就四个字,维持现状!对一小部分人有利!实际的一点没有,网友点评:三肿全坏结束,看来是准备一条大路走到黑了。。。。移民啊移民啊。(The communique said a lot and now I understand. Just four words: maintain the status quo! Benefit a small group of people! There is nothing of any practical significance. One Netizen’s review: with the end of the “three swollen-all bad” [similar pronunciation of “the third plenary”], it seems the gov’t is prepared to walk down the same road until it meets a dead end. . . . Emigrate, I say, emigrate.)

唯一有新意的是建立国保委,保障强抢的顺利进行!其他和放屁一样。难怪代表们睡得和扬子江的死猪一样 (The only new thing is to establish the National Security Commission, which is to guarantee that robbery happens smoothly! …)

@张雪忠:如果一个国家总是顽固地拒绝人类社会通行的普世价值,并且迟迟不肯建立以自由、民主和法治为基础的宪政制度,那绝不是因为这个国家有什么特殊的国情,而是因为这个国家有一个特殊的政府:这个政府本身极其败坏和不得人心,以致于根本无法通过公正的法律和诚实的手段,来维持自己的存续!转 (If a country has stubbornly refused the universal values currently practiced in the international community, and has been reluctant to establish constitutionalism, which is based on freedom, democracy, and the rule of law, the reason is absolutely not because of any “special country conditions;” it is because this country has a very special government: the government itself is extremely corrupt and unpopular, so that it simply cannot maintain its survival through just law and honest means! Repost it.)
