【新唐人2013年11月16日訊】菲律賓遭超級強颱「海燕」重創,各國紛紛伸出援手。與蜂擁而至的外國救援行動相比,中共對菲律賓的援助如杯水車薪,甚至還不如瑞典的傢俱連鎖店「宜家家居(Ikea)」的捐款。外媒紛紛表示,這嚴重影響了中共的形象。請看報導。
對於颱風「海燕」(Haiyan)留下的數十萬無家可歸者和饑民而言,蜂擁而至的外國救援行動,如一場國際慈善匯演。
美國的喬治•華盛頓號(George Washington)航母已抵達菲律賓,5000名船員和80架飛機把救災物資運往被風暴重創的倖存者手裡。此外,美國還承諾提供2000萬美元的首批人道主義援助資金。
日本也派出一支1000人的海軍力量﹔在途的賑災力量還有英國的卓越號(Illustrious)航母,上面搭載著運輸機、醫療專家和價值3200萬美元的救援物資。
而中國,開始僅以「紅十字會」的名義捐款20萬美元,11月14號又宣佈,增加150萬美元援助物資。
而瑞典傢俱巨頭「IKEA」卻捐助了270萬美元,比中國捐的還多出不少。
對此,《美聯社》指出,在中國正與美國競爭區域影響力之際,中共這種舉動卻損害了它在全球的形象。
英國《路透社》12號的報導也認為,中共在巨大颱風災害後給菲律賓的援助微不足道,或許浪費了在東南亞構築善意的機會。
「香港城市大學」政治學教授鄭宇碩認為,雖然中國和菲律賓在南中國海有主權糾紛,甚至國內部分人士對菲律賓還有民族主義的情緒,但作為中共領導層應該做的好些。
香港城市大學政治學教授鄭宇碩:「這樣做是不明智的。中國作為一個大國,需要展現它的風度,利用這個機會不但是爭取菲律賓的民心,而且也爭取東盟地區的民心。」
北京時政觀察人士華頗也表示,中共的做法顯得心胸狹隘,在外交上丟了分。目前中共是進退失據。
北京時政觀察人士華頗:「菲律賓發生災害時期,中共國內也正在亂得很,召開這個18屆三中全會。如果他要是國內領導層裡沒有那麼多內鬥的話,我想不管他心裡怎麼想,表面上他還能幹得漂亮一些。」
實際上,中共國家主席習近平,在菲律賓受颱風「海燕」重創幾天之後,才發出慰問電報。
中共喉舌《環球時報》的社論說,「中、菲因南海產生的恩恩怨怨,不應阻斷兩國民間共同抵抗天災的合作。」 《環球時報》還批評,如果採取冷淡態度援助菲律賓,我們自己的損失,很可能會大於菲律賓因這項受援不足而受到的損失。
「新加坡國立大學東亞研究所」所長鄭永年也認為,「中國仍然缺乏戰略思維。」
不過,中共對共產小兄弟卻一向慷慨。
去年7月,《環球時報》引述南韓《中央日報》的報導說,過去30年間,中共向北韓提供了1000億美元的援助。
中共對阿爾巴尼亞的援助更無理性可言。
從1954年開始,中共給人口才200萬的阿爾巴尼亞的經濟、軍事援助超過90億元人民幣。甚至在大饑荒最嚴重的1960年,還緊急援助了阿爾巴尼亞5萬噸糧食、和時值2.5億元人民幣外匯的援款,以及19個成套項目。有人指出,如果將這5萬噸糧食運到四川、河南、安徽等重災區的饑民手中,至少可以少餓死100至200萬人。還有學者指出,援阿還製造了一億中國文盲。
華頗:「為了保住歐洲的社會主義的一盞明燈,中國可以說餓死人的情況下,還要保持阿爾巴尼亞人民的正常生活,可以說把阿爾巴尼亞霍查政權都給養活起來了。」
華頗指出,中共的做法更多的是從意識形態上考慮。
14號的《環球時報》也引述英國《每日電訊報》的報導說,中共最新的「道義和實踐敗局」,再次證明,中共仍無法承擔全球大國的責任。

Foreign Media: Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Loses
Credit on Meager Aid Donation to Philippine
Super typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines, and the
international world give a helping hand.
Compared to aid actions from other nations, the Chinese
Communist Party (CCP) regime gave very little aid.
The CCP’s aid donation was even less than that of IKEA,
a Swedish furniture chain store.
Foreign media says it seriously damaged the image
of the CCP.
Here is the report.
narration:
Facing tens of thousands of homeless victims from typhoon
Haiyan in the Philippines, abundant of foreign aid are like an
international charity show.
The United States dispatched an aircraft carrier named
George Washington with 5000 crew and 80 aircrafts to
deliver relief supplies to typhoon victims in the Philippines.
The US also promised humanitarian aid of $20 million.
Japan dispatched 1000 navy forces.
England has dispatched an aircraft carrier named Illustrious
with transport aircrafts, medical experts, and relief supplies
worth $32 million.
The CCP only donated $200,000 in name of the “Red Cross”.
On Nov. 14 it added relief supplies worth of $1.5 million.
Swedish furniture giant IKEA donated $2.7 million,
which is much more than the CCP donated.
Associated Press points out that China and the US are
competitive on their regional influence.
But the CCP’s action harmed its international image.
UK media Reuters also indicated in report on 12th that the
aid from the CCP to Philippine after the typhoon disaster is
too small so the CCP has wasted the opportunity to build
up good relations in southeast Asia region.
Zheng Yushuo, professor of Political Science, City University,
Hong Kong says that China and Philippines have territorial
disputes in the south China sea, and some mainland Chinese
also have nationalism towards the Philippines.
The CCP leaders could have done better.
Zheng Yushuo: “It’s not smart to do that. As a big country,
China should show its demeanor.
It’s an opportunity to win hearts and minds of the Filipinos
and people of the ASEAN Regional.”
Hua Po, political observer in Beijing, also indicates that
the CCP’s action shows that it’s narrow-minded.
The CCP has lost credit on foreign affairs and in a dilemma.
Hua Po: “While the disaster was hitting Philippine,
the CCP was also in chaos of having the Third Plenum.
If there wasn’t that much struggle among the CCP’s
leadership, I think the CCP would have done a better job
on aiding the Philippines at least on the surface.”
In fact, the CCP leader Xi Jinping sent a condolence telegram
a few days after typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines.
Editorial of Party mouthpiece Global Times says: “The south
ocean disputes between China and Philippines shouldn’t keep
on blocking the civil cooperations between the two countries.”
The report also criticize that China has indifferent attitude
in aiding the Philippines so our own loss may be more than
the Philippines has lost due to lack of aid in this disaster.
Zheng Yongnian, the director of the East Asian Institute
at National University of Singapore also believes that
“China is still lacking in strategic thinking.”
But, the CCP has been generous to
its communist brother countries.
Last July, Global Times cited Korean media Central Daily’s
report, indicating that the CCP offered $100 billion
to North Korea in the past 30 years.
The aid of the CCP to Albania was even irrational.
Since 1954, the CCP has offered Albania economic and
military aid of more than 9 billion RMB.
Even during 1960, the worst time during the Great Famine,
the CCP gave Albania emergency assistance of 50,000 tons
of food, donation of 250 million RMB, and 19 sets of projects.
Analysis says if the food had been sent to the victims
in Sichuan, Henan, and Anhui who were the hardest hit,
at least one to two million people could have survived.
Some scholars say the aid for Albania also led to
100 million illiterates in China.
Hua Po: “In order to keep the Communist country in Europe,
China had to keep people in Albania living a normal life,
even if people in China were dying from hunger.
China even fed the Hoxha regime in Albania.”
Hua Po indicates that the CCP’s actions are considerd more
from the perspective of ideology.
Global Times also cited UK’s Daily Telegraph on 14th Nov,
indicating that the CCP lost battles on both morals and
practice, which proves that the CCP still can’t assume
any responsibility of global power.
