转贴:德国还是有不同的声音发出的，看看昨晚ARD的真实谈话                                                                                                                                                                 

    昨天在电视上看到,德国国家电视台ARD,做了一个访谈节目,关于北京奥运,邀请的嘉宾有:一个在北京3年的德国记者,一个所谓的"前世界级运动员"(在我看来此女除了抢话厉害,完全没有水平),一个德国执政党(CDU)的普通工作人员,一个女政治家,和德国奥委会秘书长Michael Vesper.

一开始听到的全都是反对中国的声音,我以为又是一个"审判中国"的节目.明明节目主题是谈论北京奥运,结果被那些嘉宾扯的东一句西一句,一会儿那个在北京 3年的德国记者说中国怎么对外国记者不好,一会儿那个CDU的说西藏文化在中国怎么被禁止...甚至那个前世界级运动员奥运不应该在中国举行,那里根本没有人权.奥运选在中国举行本来就是个错!

接着MichaelVesper说话了:我不知道有的人是什么目的反对北京奥运,奥运是全世界人类盛世,在我看来,中国是体育大国,并且他们为奥运做了很努力并且充分的准备,我不知道在北京开奥运有什么不好.(在这段话中间,不知几次被那个前世界级运动员打断,Michael Vesper只能一个劲儿说:OhMensch...Frau XXX,Moment bitte...)

接着女政治家说话:反对北京奥运是不对的,他们是有政治目的的,为什么Nike,WV不反对北京奥运,并且是北京奥运最大赞助商.说中国人权,众所周知,他们正在努力改变,并一直向好的方向前进,为什么大家不给他们一个机会?

前世界级运动员:Nike,WV他们赞助奥运是为了赚钱,为了给自己做广告.

Michael Vesper:过去几年中国和德国关系很火热,中国从德国买了大量飞机和列车,我们和中国做很大生意,赚很多钱,为什么那个时候没人谈中国的人权问题? (话外意思就是:都是默克尔把德中关系搞砸了)
这时全场响起掌声.

接着,画面切换到德国一则1980年和一则1984年新闻,内容是因为政治原因,德国拒绝参加这两届奥运会.

这时,主持人请来两名运动员,女的是本来准备参加1980年奥运会的击剑运动员,男的是现在正准备奥运会的什么运动员(因为他太帅了,本人有特别爱帅哥,所以一时走神没看清...)

主持人问那位女运动员:作为一位运动员,为奥运准备了却不能参加,您是什么心情?

女运动员:这对运动员说是灾难,很失望.

主持人问那位男运动员:您现在在南非训练,准备参加奥运,对您来说在哪个国家举行有区别吗?有什么影响吗?

男运动员:其实没有什么影响,每天训练好是首要的,我们的经纪人都在努力不要让政治影响到我们,可是我们的手机经常会响,上网也能看到一些这方面的信息,但对我们来说这些都没有意义,奥运会对运动员来说是最重要的!
全场再次响起掌声

那位女运动员接着说:其实中国为这次奥运付出了很多,他们很努力在准备,中国人们为了和外国人交流,为此他们正努力学英语.他们的精神很好!或许有一小部分人反对这次奥运,但大家应该看到,有成千上万的人正在为此快乐!同时我也很希望,在关于西藏问题上能听到更多,更真实更全面的报道,而不是现在这样一边倒!

全场又一次响起掌声

看完这个节目,我很开心,事情正向好的方向发展,德国人能就西藏问题展开讨论,听取各方面的声音,这已经很不容易了.并且还有那么多德国人站在我们这边,为我们说话,真的欣慰了...

(从小就没有写文章的细胞,写得不好,大家就凑活着看吧:p)

不错，德国媒体开始理性地讨论奥运会的问题了。
本来就是嘛，奥运会是运动员的舞台，而不是政治家的。

Commentary: Bashing China is not the answerStory Highlights

By L. Ling-chi Wang

L. Ling-chi Wang: "Humility and compassion, not hypocrisy and self-righteousness, is what is needed."


(CNN) -- As the Olympic torch makes its way westward through London, Paris and San Francisco on its way to Beijing, it has been attracting well-financed, organized protests representing various single-issue groups that normally do not even work together.

Among these groups are various factions of the Free Tibet movement, the groups against genocide in Darfur, global warming, Burma's military dictatorship, job loss in the U.S., and such diverse groups as the Falun Gong and Taiwan independence activists.

The Beijing Olympics is a godsend for these groups because it affords them the opportunity to disrupt the torch relay.

The media, as usual, have seized the opportunity to pour fuel onto the fire. Politicians are tripping over each other in their eagerness to condemn China, to call for boycotts, and to claim the high moral ground, even though the United States has been treated as a rogue state worldwide because of our invasion of Iraq, and our unlawful detention, torture, rendition, etc.

Sadly, most Americans know little about international issues and for that matter, China, as demonstrated by the conspicuous absence of information regarding historical context and complexity. Instead, the media, politicians and organized groups prefer to use only sound bites and, frequently, disinformation to perpetuate ignorance, instill fear, and incite racial hostility, or worse, hatred toward China.

What they do know is this: Just about everything they use and wear daily comes from China. Even the new section of the San Francisco Bay Bridge is being made in Shanghai.

What they also don't know is how Chinese in China are viewing and preparing for the Olympics in August. Not since the 10-year nightmare of the Cultural Revolution have the Chinese been more dedicated to and collectively mobilized for a national project: to host the first Olympics in China.

This project aspires to engage the world and to incentivize further reform in China. More than 200 million Chinese, for example, are learning English and the torch relay will be greeted by all China's provinces and major cities before reaching Beijing.

China, like many countries in the world, including the U.S., has problems. It has much to learn from the rest of the world. For example, China has yet to learn how to understand and treat its minorities -- such as Tibetans, Uighurs, Muslims, Hmongs -- as equals.

In this respect, they are not that different from us. We are still learning how to treat minorities such as Native Americans, African-Americans, Latinos, Chinese-Americans and others as equals.

Humility and compassion, not hypocrisy and self-righteousness, is what is needed.

Commentary: Why we protest China
iReport: Protesters gather as torch arrives in San Francisco
I am not opposed to free speech and legitimate protests against China's wrongdoings. However, I am opposed to using the Olympics to demonize China and its people and disruptive, confrontational, and violent tactics. Such actions have the effect of desecrating the Olympics and humiliating and insulting the people of China. No good can come of them.

Protests and confrontations along the torch route may even incite Chinese xenophobia and nationalism and result in decisions to retreat from its increased openness to and engagement with the West.

If this should happen, it will be a major setback for the 1.3 billion people in China and for world peace and prosperity.
