【新唐人2011年5月12日訊】中共中央政治局常委、全國政協主席賈慶林,日前公開表示,為了維持海峽兩岸關係,台灣人民必須在未來兩次重要的選舉中“選對人”。對於賈慶林的這番談話,評論人士認為,這是中共當局對台灣選舉的干涉;中共應該尊重台灣人民的選舉自由,否則很可能會適得其反。
《法國國際廣播電臺》報導,賈慶林日前出席了在四川成都舉行的第七屆兩岸經貿文化論壇,他在與台灣國民黨榮譽主席吳伯雄會面時發表了“選對人”的說辭。
賈慶林宣稱,台灣今年(2011年)的兩場重要選舉對兩岸關係非常關鍵;兩岸經濟合作框架協議(ECFA)是維持兩岸關係的重要機制,由誰來執行這項協議很重要。他特別強調:台灣人民要“選對人”。
對此,香港支聯會副主席蔡耀昌认为台湾人民有自己的選舉自由,他們肯定會去選他們認為“選對的人”,所以從這個角度講,賈慶林的話說了等於沒說;但實際上,賈慶林的話是有“特殊含義”的。
蔡耀昌:“他(賈慶林)講的,正是他們(中共當局)希望台灣人民去選一下可能跟中共政府能夠有’溝通’這方面的這些人吧。但我想,台灣人民他們怎麼樣選擇,他們(中共當局)應該是不要說三道四,因為到底是台灣人民的選舉嘛!台灣人民每一個人怎麼樣選,當然就是他們的自由。”
近年來,大陸兩岸經貿合作頻繁,經貿規模不斷擴大。根據大陸商務部數據,今年(2011年)第一季度,大陸與台灣的總貿易額達到376億美元,同比上升近20%。台灣從中獲得貿易順差高達200多億美元。
資深政經評論家林保華:“正常國家都是應該有經貿交流的。問題是:中國的經貿交流背後都有政治動機的,這種交流本身我覺得,都有中共的統戰陰謀在裡面的。所以我想,中國的這些交流就應該是正常的交流,否則如果帶有政治條件,這是損害真正的交流,對兩岸之間的關係反而是一種損害,因為帶有一種政治因素。”
林保華認為,賈慶林的講話是在干預台灣的選舉、對台灣施加壓力,這也是中共對臺的一貫態度。他說,賈慶林的這一講話是在恐嚇與威脅台灣人:如果不按照中共的意圖行事,中共就會終止給台灣以經濟上的“好處”。
早在前年(2009年)年底,中國流亡作家袁紅冰出版的《台灣大劫難》暢銷台灣。書中披露,中共為達成在2012年前解決台灣問題,多年來積極通過“利益誘惑”來籠絡與分化台灣社會,並鼓動台灣民眾內鬥。
袁紅冰說,台灣的自由民主制度已對中國大陸產生示範作用,並成為中共政權最大的威脅,因而中共傾盡全力要摧毀台灣的民主制度,以維持獨裁。
而林保華也談到,此前,中共就曾經多次對台灣選舉進行威脅,甚至曾經發射導彈到台灣附近海域,但每次都適得其反。
林保華:“這個本身是因為,中國是一個共產國家、恐怖國家(政權),所以台灣民眾才有一種防範心理,連美國都有防這個(中共滲透)心理,這是由中國的國家性質— —共產黨一黨獨裁決定的。”
蔡耀昌強調指出,不管中共如何施壓,也改變不了台灣人民的自由選舉權利;台灣民眾肯定會去推選他們自己認為合適的人選,不會受到中共施壓的影響。

China Still Hungry for Taiwan
Jia Qinglin, member of the Standing Committee
of Politburo in the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP)
and the CPPCC National Committee Chairman,
has publicly stated recently that Taiwan people
must “elect the right candidates”
in the next two elections in order to maintain
cross-strait relations.” Commentators believe
this is interference on Taiwan elections by CCP.
China should respect Taiwan’s election freedom,
or otherwise it will be counterproductive.
Radio France Internationale states that Jia Qinglin
recently attended the 7th cross-strait trade
and cultural forum in Chengdu, Sichuan.
He gave the above speech in a meeting
with KMT Honorary Chairman Wu Poh-hsiung.
Jia claimed the two important elections are key
to cross-strait relations; cross-strait
Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA)
is an important mechanism
for maintaining the relationship.
Whoever implements the agreement it is
a very important step. He stressed particularly,
Taiwanese should “elect the right candidates."
Richard Tsoi, Vice President of HK Democratic Party,
said Taiwan people have their own election freedom,
they’ll go to elect whom they think is right;
but actually Jia’s words have “special meanings".
Richard Tsoi: “He (Jia) meant, they (CCP) want us
to elect people with ‘connection’ with the CCP.
Whoever Taiwanese elect, they (China authorities)
shouldn’t make irresponsible remarks, after all
these are elections of the Taiwan’s people!
Taiwanese have freedom on election.”
Lately, cross-strait economic and trade cooperation
had been frequent and expanding.
Mainland Deptartment of Commerce data showed
that in 1Q of 2011, total trade volume reached
USD37.6 billion, up nearly 20%.
Taiwan obtained surplus up to USD20 billion.
Lin Baohua, senior political and economic critic:
“Normally countries have economic
and trade exchanges. But the problem is:
China’s exchanges have political motives.
It is conspiracy of the CCP’s united front.
China should have normal exchanges.
With political conditions it will damage the exchange
and the cross-strait relationship."
Lin Baohua said Jia’s speech was an intervention
of Taiwan’s elections, putting pressure on Taiwan,
which is the CCP’s consistent attitude. He said,
Jia’s speech is to intimidate Taiwan by ceasing
economic “benefits” if Taiwan disobeys the CCP.
In 2009, Yuan Hongbing, a writer in exile, published
“Taiwan’s Disaster" which became a bestseller.
The book revealed the CCP intended to control
Taiwan by 2012. It actively used “temptation"
to win and differentiate Taiwan society,
and to encourage Taiwan internal conflicts.
Yuan Hongbing said Taiwan’s democratic system
set up a model for mainland China
and became the greatest threat to the regime,
so the CCP had done everything
to destroy Taiwan’s democratic system.
Lin Baohua also said the CCP has repeatedly
threatened Taiwan’s elections, even firing missiles
into waters near Taiwan, but each time
these actions caused the opposite effect.
Lin Baohua:"Because China is a communist country,
a terrorist state (regime), Taiwan has prevention
awareness, as well as US. This is due to China’s
national characteristics: one-party dictatorship."
Richard Tsoi emphasized however, that although
the CCP pressures Taiwan, it cannot change
the election freedom in Taiwan. Taiwan people
will definitely elect the right candidate
on their own, not being influenced by the CCP.
