【禁聞】德國漢學家訪華 遭北京“拒簽”

【新唐人2011年4月1日訊】德國著名漢學家史蒂曼(Tilman Spengler),原本計劃這週隨同德國外長訪華,但是他的簽證申請遭到中共當局拒絕。史蒂曼說,中共外交部認為他“不是中國人民的朋友”。中國民主黨創辦人之一秦永敏接受本臺記者採訪表示,史蒂曼恰恰是中國人民的朋友,但不是中共的朋友,因此中共才拒發籤證給他。

3月30號德國漢學家史蒂曼(Tilman Spengler)向《德新社》表示,他申請中國入境簽證遭到拒絕。

他還表示,中共外交部稱他“不是中國人民的朋友”,因此拒發簽證。

史蒂曼是德國著名漢學家,發表過大量有關中國研究的著作。去年9月,史蒂曼作為頒獎人,向正在獄中服刑的中國作家劉曉波頒發了赫爾曼——凱斯滕獎(Hermann-Kesten-Medaille)。

中國民主黨創辦人之一秦永敏:“這位德國學者不是中國人的朋友,我想事情恐怕恰恰相反。這種作法(拒發簽證)顯然是毫無道理的!也和它(中共)對內的為所慾為、不講道理聯繫在一起。”

德國外長韋斯特韋勒這次訪華,主要是為了出席一項展覽活動的開幕式。據《德國之聲》報導,4月1號在中國國家博物館開幕的“啟蒙的藝術”展,是德國至今在中國舉辦的最大藝術活動,展期長達一年。

不過,史蒂曼向《德國之聲》表示:“多數中國(共)政府領導人還急需接受啟蒙時代的自由、平等、博愛,思想。”

而秦永敏表示,德國經歷過殘酷的納粹統治,德國人民和世界人民都深受其害。現在中國有可能走上同樣的道路。如果中國不進行民主化,它將給世界帶來不幸。

秦永敏:“在專制之下,只要掌握絕對權力,他就可以為所慾為!體制內大部分人,理性來說,都是希望中國穩步的走向民主時代的。在將來,如果發生政權法西斯化、納粹化的問題,我們還是要強調,這種可能性是很小的,我們說‘不能排除’。從目前來說,只要中國還專制下去,那麼這種結果就不能排除!”

秦永敏呼籲德國外長應向北京施壓,要求中共釋放上週剛被判10年監禁的異議人士劉賢斌,以及劉曉波和其他政治犯。

而德國社民黨外交事務專家羅爾夫•米岑尼希(Rolf Mützenich)認為,外長的陪同人員遭到中方邀請"出局",給韋斯特韋勒這次訪華之行蒙上陰影,也是不好的兆頭。

《德國之聲》30號在報導中說,米岑尼希表示,漢學家史蒂曼遭中國(共)拒簽也說明,僅僅公開批評中國的人權狀況或表達對人權維權人士的支持,還遠遠不足以在政治上和北京抗衡。

羅爾夫•米岑尼希 這位社民黨政治家接受《德新社》採訪時,建議外長韋斯特韋勒訪華時,要與中方談起史蒂曼遭拒簽一事。

“Not a Friend to Chinese People”

Renowned German Sinologist Tilman Spengler

had planned to accompany German Foreign Minister

on his visit to China, but was denied a visa.

Spengler says that the communist party does not

consider him “a friend of Chinese People”.

According to Qin Yongmin,

co-founder of the China Democracy Party,

Spengler is a friend of the Chinese people,

not a friend of the Chinese Communist Party.

Tilman Spengler said to DPA that the visa was denied

because the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs

consider him “not a friend to Chinese people”.

Renowned Sinologist and widely published author,

Spengler awarded the imprisoned Chinese author

Liu Xiaobo the Hermann-Kesten-Medaille last Sept.

"The German scholar is not a friend

of Chinese people? I think it』s just the opposite.

Such action (denying visa)is totally unreasonable.

It has to do with the fact

that the CCP mistreats its people at will."

German Foreign Minister Westerwelle is due to open

the yearlong German "Art of the Enlightenment"

exhibition at the National Museum of China.

“Most Chinese government officials need the

enlightenment of freedom, equality,

and fraternity”, said Spengler to Deutsche Welle.

According to Qin Yongmin, Germany, as well as

the entire world, suffered from the Nazi regime.

China could possible bring the same misfortune

to the world if it does not become democratized.

"A tyranny can reign at will with absolute power.

Most people within the system are in favor of the

democratization of China. Although very minor,

if the autocracy remains, we 『cannot rule out』

a possibility of fascistization of the CCP regime"

Qin calls for more diplomatic pressure on Beijing

from the German Foreign Minister,

to request immediate release of jailed dissidents

such as Liu Xianbin and Liu Xiaobo.

German SPD foreign relations expert Rolf Mützenich

believes the ban on a delegation member will have

negative effects on Westerwelle』s visit to China.

Mützenich said to Deutche Welle that the entry ban

on Spengler showed that criticizing China

for its human rights record is far from enough.

Mützenich suggested during a DPA interview

that Westerwelle needs to bring up

the entry ban of Spengler

during his conversation with Chinese leaders.
