人民网：全球华人理性爱国 法德等媒体开始反思（ZT）

在刚刚过去的周末，中国许多大城市和巴黎、伦敦、柏林、洛杉矶等爆发支持奥运、抗议西方媒体不实报道的集会和示威。法国的很多媒体在报道时流露出担心的情绪。而从21日法国媒体的反应看，对中法关系出现的缓和趋向，似乎人们有了一种终于能喘口气的感觉。街头小报也罢，主流媒体也罢，纷纷以本周一在中国没出现针对法国的示威活动为题进行报道。

　　4月19日，英国著名的威斯敏斯特议会大厦前出现了令人瞩目的一幕：在英中国留学生举行静默示威，抗议英国广播公司（BBC）及其他媒体对3月6日在伦敦举行的北京奥运火炬传递报道中明显偏袒“藏独”分子的行为。

　　从19日上午9时起，来自洛杉矶及周边地区的华人和中国留学生5000多人开始聚集在CNN办事处大楼前街道两侧的人行道上。他们手举中美两国国旗和写有“解雇卡弗蒂”“停止媒体歪曲报道”等字样的标语，用中英文高喊口号，并不时齐声高唱《歌唱祖国》。

　　4月19日，法国华人、华侨及中国留学生在巴黎共和国广场举行了主题为“支持北京奥运，反对媒体不公”的集会。在这次集会上，中国留法学生李洹用法文发表的长篇演讲，在华人、华侨及留学生中引起轰动。

　　自从中国人以各种形式表达对法国纵容袭击奥运圣火的愤怒以来，法国媒体明显收敛了对中国的负面报道。一些媒体也开始对前段时间在法国上演的激进反华行为进行反思。21日《费加罗报》发表了题为《抵制的陷阱》的社论，社论认为，前段时间出现的所谓“亲西藏人的行动”，实际上伴随了一种反华情绪，这种情绪与二三十年前出现的反日情绪如出一辙。在“捍卫人权”的旗帜下，掩盖了对“中国制造”的惧怕，对中国经济崛起是否回打破世界经济秩序的担忧。社论问道： “为什么我们比达赖更西藏？”社论指出，“捍卫‘普遍价值观’的神圣使命演示了一种种族主义的臭味”。


中国留学生举行静默抗议BBC及其他媒体呼唤正义

　　无独有偶，德语媒体也纷纷开始修补中国形象。德国《时代周报》4月12日文章，原题：西方抵制奥运是错误的。因中国人权和西藏问题抵制北京奥运会是错误的，这容易使中国人认为自己是西方傲慢的受害者，使运动员心灰意冷。奥运会不仅是对中国人，也是对他们客人的一次测试。前往北京的不仅有运动员、政客和旅游者，还有西方的形象。为什么不能在粗暴之外，选择另一种坚定而友好的态度呢？

　　瑞士《新苏黎世报》4月13日文章，原题：这不仅仅是中国的问题。随着北京奥运会火炬全球传递拉开序幕，中国的人权问题也被推到风口浪尖。国际奥委会执委丹尼斯·奥斯瓦尔德在接受采访时说，事实表明，中国人权状况近年已有长足进步，而且一直在改善。实际上，人权问题并不是只有中国存在，美国也不可宽恕。在过去两周内一直有抵制北京奥运会声音的一些国家，也应该想想自己。法国和英国近来也发生过人权问题。

　　奥地利《新闻报》4月12日文章，原题：为什么北京举办奥运会是好的。德国前外长根舍日前接受了德意志广播电台的采访。根舍说，回忆1980年抵制莫斯科奥运会那段经历是痛苦的。当时美国、西德等少数几个国家缺席。最后，苏联撤离阿富汗，美国等西方国家却进驻阿富汗。我们不能用体育来代替政治。

　　希望这些媒体的反思行为不仅仅是西方国家的“权宜之计”，或者用来缓和愈发激烈的矛盾的一种手段。西方媒体是时候真正的认识一下新闻真实对媒体公信力的推动作用，不妨静下心来认真地倾听中国的古老历史，观察中国的发展与进步，向全世界的读者朋友展示一个真实的中国。

pro-Chinese protesters were too aggressive and violent indeed. Why those students are in Canberra, in Australian territory to kicking, attasking and frightening innocent children and women in Australia. If they love to their country these students should be back to China, deport them, Chinese students and nationalists should go home, protest in China. Probably they never have any chance to protest in China, becuase they have no freedom to do it in they own territory.If these people don't respect Australia as a country, they should not be in Australia. Australia is not China. What Mr Rudd is doing now, why he does not to do anything against these violent aggressive pro-Chinese protesters?

I was at the torch relay this morning as well, and on Northbourne Avenue I saw a mob of Chinese flag waving people screaming at protesters and attempting to rip up a painted 'FREE TIBET' sign.

I was also told by lots of Chinese-flag carrying folk, in no uncertain terms, that "Australia is a horrible country" and we "should be ashamed" for raining on the Chinese Olympic parade.

This is Australia - that kind of behaviour doesn't fly here. Whatever passion these coached-in red flag waving folk have for their ancestral homeland, that passion must not express itself in the way I saw today.

Again, THIS IS AUSTRALIA.

The Chinese should be ashamed of themselves. I hope the Chinese Embassy is proud of their countrymen who are harrasing inocent spectators and bullying old people and children or grandchildren. This is VERY un-Australian behaviour and should not be tolerated in Australia. I hope these pro-chinese people were caught on CCTV and can be identified and charged accordingly.

Being proud of your country is one thing, but thugish behaviour is something altogether different!

As a Canberra resident, I found the pro-China protestors aggressive and offensive this morning. The AFP should have been properly resourced, so that they could make some appropriate arrests, instead of Australian onlookers and families being left feeling intimidated and bullied by bussed-in pro-Chinese demonstrators. Hardly an admirable achievement for the Olympics; I'm left with a nasty taste in my mouth.

Bloody hell! China should never have been given the opportunity to hold the Olympics. What a discrace! I didn't realise that there are actually Pro-china supporters out there, i thought they would all be ashamed.
Pretty pathetic, running away.

P Cadwell:

To the Chinese people residing in Australia.
You and your country should be thouroughly ASHAMED of your actions in Austrapai regarding the Olympic flame.

Do not bring your bad manners and chinese thuggery to this wonderful country that has opened its arms to you and allowed you the privilege of staying here.

Your behaviour is exactly what creates distrust and discrimination.

I suggest that you all pack up and go back to your own country where your police and politicians would put up with your disgusting behaviour---you would all end up in prison----no one needs you.

I've just come back from the torch relay in Canberra. I participated in a protest with Amnesty International, which I thought would be fairly peaceful.

Our group of around 30 people was surrounded by a couple of hundred pro-Chinese supporters near stage 88 and we were basically trapped whilst they shouted at us and told us to go home. It actually started to get a bit violent. They started hitting our signs out of our hands and there was a bit of pushing and shoving, with the police absolutely nowhere to be seen at all.

Finally after about 15 minutes of this, two policeman showed up and escorted us back out.

I mean, its just not on, there were little kids around and these chinese supporters were, as is mentioned in the article, acting with a gang mentality.

Such displays of nationalism (well beyond what would be considered patriotic pride) win no friends. Even if they are students they should consider that other students from China will have to wear the reputation that has now been established. This is not a proud day for China.

Patch:

I saw a mob of Pro Chinese seriously harass a couple of women in their 50's who had a free tibet poster. Me and my friend who are males in our 20's weren't attacked for some reason. The cowards.

Bev:
24 Apr 2008 12:38:33pm

Absolutely disgusting and disgraceful.

How dare these foreign nationalists come to our peaceful country and attack our citizens with violence. Women and children? Unbelievable and outright sickening. The 0.03% of respect I had for China has now deminished.

Deport these idiots immediately, they are tainting our society. I bet they don't even speak english either.

Is this gang of pro chinese realising that they have more freedom to express their opinion in Australia than in China. Again they xxxx the mojority of the protest crown here in Australia and show how crude they are in treating others who don't agree with them. This is Australian not China. Shame on you Chinese migrants.

I also witnessed this behaviour. I was following the torch relay from Parliament House, and jogged with it down to the Lake. I witessed a repeated behaviour from three young Chinese supporters. They would spread out, and run up behind pro-Tibetan/anti-Chinese Government protesters and kick them in the back, before running off into the crowd. I saw this happen at least half a dozen times, as did hundreds, if not thousands of Chinese supporters, none of whom made any effort to discourage this behaviour.

Even though there were hundreds of police protecting the torch and its bearers, they were not making any effort to control the crowd. I raised the issue of people being kicked with three separate police officers. One ignored me, another effectively told me to piss off, and a third said, "So?", and asked what I wanted him to do. I told him I thought he should get on his radio and inxxxx his colleagues of this. He very rudely declined this advice.

I also witnessed a large group of pro-Chinese people with very big Chinese flags go and stand next to a group of Tibetans, and sing what I suspect was the Chinese anthem.

Overall, both groups were well behaved, however I was unimpressed by the antics of some pro-Chinese supporters, not to mention the boys in blue.

I am a Canberra resident and went to show my support for human rights, freedom and peace.
The Pro-China demonstrators abused my small group as we walked past and generally tried to intimidate us. They tried to come into the small peaceful Pro-Tibet rally and had to be held back by the police line.
One Pro-Tibetan supporter we saw was set upon by a group of Chinese and assaulted for carrying a Tibetan flag.
This is disgusting behaviour, we should send them all home. In all my years of peacefully voicing my opinion I have never seen such an appalling lack of respect, kind of like how the Chinese treat Tibet. The Pro-Chinese supporters have brought only shame to their cause.

China sets the propaganda on its people and promotes "Nationalism" to fight against democary and human rights. China also controls all media including internet to censor its people's thinking.

What an autocratic country!

Just thinking about the 1936 Berlin Olympic.
Just thinking about what China does towards a 6-year-old Tibetan children.

I was afraid that would happen. The sheer number of very patriotic and passionate Chinese people was rather intimidating to the much smaller group of supporters of Tibetans like me. They also seemed very badly inxxxxed, shouting slogans of " One China" - don't they know that the Dalai Lama has not called for Tibet to break away but to have genuine autonomy, enjoy human rights & cultural & religious freedom & that he simply wants dialogue ? The large Chinese contingent seemed to be getting quite wound up when I left the area around the start of the Torch Relay to go to work. It is a shame that they felt the need to dominate the proceedings - they do their country's image no good. I have no problem with China hosting the Olympic Games, but they got the opportunity on the promise of improving human rights - they have failed in that regard & we should remind them of that. Thanks to everyone who was there to support the much smaller group of Tibetans - I got a new sense of what it must be like to be Tibetan inside China today out of today's events. Intimidating is the only word to describe it.

Eight years ago I went to the Olympic relay; the torch was brought through Glenelg where a small caldron was lit. It was a sense of wonder, humanity; it encapsulated higher stronger faster it got respect the torch gave respect.

Where is the respect?

The respect is earned, not demanded.

西方国家为什么会如此恐惧中国的强势发展呢？原因只有一个——他们不希望看到中国承担起世界头号强国的历史使命，不希望看到中国的符号成为世界的主流。但是，事实表明，西方国家的这些做法是违背历史的常规发展的；是极端利己主义的错误思想左右的。站在世界的角度上，中国的符号已经成为不可阻挡的，充满生机与活力的大趋势。

...

　　“中国的五粮液、世界的五粮液”。相信不仅是五粮液，所有积极健康成长的中国符号都正在顺应当今世界文化融合的大趋势，拥有五千年文明史的中华文化必须站在这个趋势的最上方，起到主导作用，将中国文化传播到世界各地，也让中国的特色深入世界人民心中，中国的未来才会更加精彩，中庸和谐的永恒才能得以完美的体现。

Jack Cafferty这段话的原文如下：“Well, I don’t know if China is any different, but our relationship with China is certainly different. We’re in hock to the Chinese up to our eyeballs because of the war in Iraq, for one thing. They’re holding hundreds of billions of dollars worth of our paper. We also are running hundred of billions of dollars worth of trade deficits with them, as we continue to import their junk with the lead paint on them and the poisoned pet food and export, you know, jobs to places where you can pay workers a dollar a month to turn out the stuff that we’re buying from Wal-Mart. So I think our relationship with China has certainly changed. I think they’re basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they’ve been for the last 50 years”.▲ 更多内容阅读登录环球网（www.huanqiu.com）
