【新唐人2012年1月16日讯】2012中华民国台湾总统大选令全球光注，在大选中展现的华人民主风范，给人印象深刻，很多人认为这次大选最大的赢家并非胜出的马英九个人，而是“自由民主”本身。台湾今天能够成功实行民主制度，国际社会在激赏之余，同时也关注香港、新加坡、以及占全球华人97%人口的中国大陆，何时能够实现真正的民主选举？
台湾从1950年代开始地方自治选举，1996年起启动全民直选总统。
美国国务院1月14号在贺文中说，台湾又一次举行了自由公平的选举。台湾人民应对他们民主的这个最新里程碑感到自豪。
德国汉学家韦唐仕对台湾大选发表评论说，整个选举的赢家是自由民主本身，不是个人。北京宪政学者陈永苗认为台湾大选给其他华人地区树立了一个很好的典范，华人社区选举的最大障碍就是独裁。他希望香港和大陆的政策有所改变。
有大陆民众特意在大选期间到台湾旅游，直接观察台湾民主选举。
牟传珩：“他也给中国大陆做了一个很好的示范和样板，真正意义上的民主制度，他能够确实的真实的体现民意，作为民主的样板，对中国大陆起了很好的示范作用。”
江西民众游明磊表示，台湾的民选让大陆百姓看到了真正的选举是应该怎么样的。他在对比后发现，大陆现在所谓的选举，基本上是虚假的。
大陆选举专家姚立法则指出，中共当局一直在打压大陆的民主选举。姚立法因宣传选举法，帮助独立参选人参选而遭到当局长期监控。
大选结束后，民进党领袖蔡英文的败选感言更在大陆网民中流传。网友“湖月照影”留言：蔡英文虽败犹荣，蔡英文说“台湾不能没有反对的声音，台湾不能没有制衡的力量”。
广州民众江之勇认为，只有民选国家领导人，才是真正的民主。台湾大选的一个很大意义是，它使得中共当局所谓“中国人不适合民主、民主要慢慢来”的谎言不攻自破。
政论家伍凡：“共产党在它没有倒台之前，它不会让中国有普选的，不会让中国有台湾这种民主制度的，因为它这种专制国家，专制政权，专制体制。它一投选它就完蛋了。”
虽然中共通过各种方式对台湾大选施加影响，但大选的民主氛围却起到了传播普世价值、民主人权的作用，令中共当局倍感压力。 2012台湾大选结果出来后，中共喉舌《央视》甚至干脆不做任何报导。
伍凡：“因为全世界华人地区，台湾集中的两千三百万华人他们可以享受到自由民主这个制度，其他地方还没有做到，尤其大陆更没有做到，香港也没有做到。共产党也很害怕台湾这样长期坚持下去，会对大陆起到催化作用，民主制度的催化作用，共产党从心底要想把台湾的民主制度消灭掉，而台湾坚持下去，所以这种斗争是长期的，又是国际斗争。 ”
百年前，拿破仑说中国人是沉睡百年的狮子，今天是到了从梦中醒来的时候吗？大陆网友﹙MOB﹚感叹：“活到现在才发现，其实很羡慕别人可以在自己的国家选总统，看看台湾人民，一样是中国人，相同的文化，至少他们可以有选举权。”那么大陆人为什么不能？

2012 Taiwan Presidential Election Directs Mainland Election
Taiwan’s 2012 presidential election is attracting the world’s
attention.
They focus their eye’s on the “freedom and democracy" and
the Chinese democratic style instead of Ma Ying-jeou himself.
The international community appreciate Taiwan’s successful
democratic system.
They are also concerned about Hong Kong, Singapore, and
Mainland China with 97% ethnic Chinese populations.
When will Mainland China achieve democratic elections?
Taiwan began local elections in the 1950s and has held
Presidential elections since 1996.
On January 14, U.S. Department of State congratulated
Taiwan having once again held free and fair elections.
Taiwan people should be proud of this latest milestone.
Wei Tangshi, German Chinese scholar commented on
Taiwan’s presidential election.
The winner of the election is freedom and democracy itself,
instead of any individuals.
Chen Yongmiao, a Beijing constitutional scholar, believes
Taiwan’s presidential election has set a good example.
The biggest obstacle to the election in other Chinese regions
is the dictatorship.
He hopes that Hong Kong and Mainland China’s policy
can be changed.
People from Mainland China specifically traveled to Taiwan
during the election campaign.
They were directly observing Taiwan’s democratic elections.
Mu Chuanheng: “It [democratic election] was a very good
demonstration and model for Mainland China.
A true democratic system can really reflect true public
opinion as a model of democracy.
This is a very good example to mainland China."
You Minglei from Jiangxi Province said, Taiwan’s election
let the mainland people see how genuine elections should be.
He found that the mainland so-called elections are
basically false.
Yao Lifa, mainland election expert, said the Chinese
Communist Party (CCP) has been suppressing democracy.
Yao has been under long-term monitoring because he
propagated the legislation for elections.
He helped independent candidates for elections.
After the election, the DPP leader Tsai Ing-wen’s defeated
annunciation was widely spread among mainland netizens.
Netizen “Shadow on Lake" said: “Tsai Ing-wen is glorious
even though she was defeated.
Tsai Ing-wen said, “Taiwan needs opposition. Taiwan needs
checks and balances."
Jiang Zhiyong from Guangzhou believes that only when
people elect national leaders, is it real democracy.
A great significance of Taiwan’s election is that it has shown
people something.
The CCP’s so-called “Chinese people are not suitable for
democracy, and democracy needs time" is a lie.
Political commentator Wu Fan commented: “Before the CCP falls, it won’t let the Chinese have the
universal suffrage and democracy like Taiwan.
It will be finished after voting because it is a despotism, a
dictatorship, and an authoritarian regime."
The CCP tried many ways to influence Taiwan’s Presidential
election.
However, the election’s democratic atmosphere has spread the
universal values of democracy and human rights.
This makes the CCP feel the pressure.
After 2012 Taiwan election results were released, the CCP
mouthpiece “CCTV" did not even report anything.
Wu Fan: “Among the world’s Chinese regions, Taiwanese
(23 million) people can enjoy freedom and democracy.
But other cannot, in particular, not the mainland and
Hong Kong.
The CCP is afraid Taiwan’s democracy will serve as
a catalyst.
The CCP from the heart wants to destroy Taiwan’s
democratic system.
But Taiwan sticks to it. So this is a long-term and an
international struggle. “
A century ago, Napoleon said that the Chinese people were
sleeping lions. Is it the time to wake up from a dream today?
Mainland netizens (MOB) sighed: “Now I realize that it is
actually very envious to see others elect their own president.
Look at the Taiwan people, as the same Chinese people,
same culture, at least they can vote."
Then why cannot people from the Mainland?
