【新唐人2011年11月17日訊】被中共文化部叫停的孔子和平獎「起死回生」，第二屆「孔子和平獎」近幾天授予俄羅斯總理普京。海內外學者指出，「孔子和平獎」是中共「叫板」諾貝爾和平獎的舉動，與開設「孔子學院」一樣，用孔子的外衣包裝黨文化，在國際上施展所謂的軟實力進行政治統戰。
11月13號，第二屆「孔子和平獎」主辦方宣佈，經包括「五毛學者」北京大學教授孔慶東等在內的16位評委投票，授予普京「2011年孔子和平獎」。
普京獲獎的理由是他今年反對北約空襲正在屠殺人民的利比亞卡扎菲政權。評選主辦者15號說，頒獎儀式12月9號將如期舉行，儘管政府命令他們不要這樣做。
著名史學家、普林斯頓大學講座教授余英時指出，這根本就是一個鬧劇。
余英時：「所謂孔子和平獎本身根本就是個很大的笑話，根本就沒有任何價值。我也不相信俄國的總理普京會對這個事情有興趣，是不是接受了我都不清楚。我覺得總而言之，這個實在是很可笑的事情，表示共產黨在宣傳上面已經完全與時代脫節了。」
《美國之音》認為中共媒體有「怪異的普京情結」。《新華網》11月15號報導說，在安徽合肥郊縣，一個長相酷似俄總理普京的貧窮農民羅元平，突然成了眾人聚焦的中心，他被稱為「普京哥」。
俄羅斯官方媒體也一改前蘇聯的封閉和殭化，熱情的予以報導，《俄羅斯之聲》還配發了一張普京和羅元平並列的拼貼圖片。
《華爾街日報》則指出，中共喜歡普京在聯合國安理會跟北京聯合對抗西方國家。祖籍安徽的余英時教授表示，要說普京和平，那是很開玩笑的。
香港《動向》雜誌主編張偉國指出，普京執政期間，俄羅斯的記者被屠殺，人權倒退，而且指揮車臣戰爭，發動對格魯吉亞的戰爭，等等。
張偉國：「現在他又在俄羅斯的民主政治進程當中要開倒車，重新返回來要選總統，這種跟整個世界的民主政治發展潮流和現代政治文明背道而馳的人物，他被選出孔子和平獎，要麼選錯人，要麼孔子和平獎本身就是披著孔子的外衣。」
去年劉曉波獲得諾貝爾和平獎之後，掛靠在中共文化部之下的中國鄉土藝術協會宣佈設立「孔子和平獎」，首屆獲獎者台灣前副總統連戰卻不知情，也沒領獎。
因為評選不透明、財務監管缺失等原因，導致原班人馬分道揚鑣，進而產生「孔子和平獎」和「孔子世界和平獎」兩個獎。但是，今年9月和10月，主辦這兩個獎的民間機構都被文化部叫停。
首屆「孔子和平獎」候選人之一譙達摩，今年10月在香港註冊成立「中國國際和平研究中心」，這個機構成為「第二屆孔子和平獎」的主辦方。
張偉國：「所以，它本身是一個鬧劇，現在這個鬧劇也沒有被中共的權威完全肯定。用孔子和平獎來對抗諾貝爾和平獎，來對抗普世價值，所以它一開始，它的宗旨、它的目地並不是為了真正的和平，而是成為在國際上進行政治統戰的一個工具。」
中共還在海外各地廣設「孔子學院」。加拿大安全情報局報告指出，「孔子學院」是中共向外輸出意識形態和政策的平臺，是文化滲透的工具和洗腦的機構，並在加拿大有竊取情報的間諜行為。
余英時：「所以，共產黨從來沒有真正尊重過孔子，只是現在馬克思主義破產了，沒有理論根據了。所以找來找去，就有一部分人想利用儒家、利用傳統，因為這個關鍵是一種民族主義情緒。但是，認同的是不是孔子跟專制的關係，那也很成問題。」
目前，中共內部有主張走毛澤東的共產老路、孔子的傳統老路和西方的民主憲政三派混戰。張偉國分析，「孔子和平獎」在深層上反映出中共高層對普世價值爭論的尖銳化，也反映出中共高層在爭奪中國政治的主導權。

Confucius Peace Prize Awarded to Putin after the Authority Called it off.
The Confucius Peace Prize was ordered to stop by
the Chinese Ministry of Culture.
However, the second Confucius Peace Prize was recently
awarded to the Russian Prime Minister, Vladimir Putin.
Domestic and overseas scholars point out that
the Confucius Peace Prize were communist party tactics to 『destabilize』 the Nobel Peace Prize,
similar to the Confucius Institute, which is communist party
culture coated with the Confucius image
to display the so-called political soft power for
a political united front in the international arena.
On 13th November, the organizers of the second Confucius Peace Prize announced that
Putin was awarded the “Confucius Peace Prize in 2011″
as voted by 16 judges,
including Peking University professor Kung Qingdong
also known as the 『Fifty Cent scholars』.
Putin won this award on the grounds of his opposition to
NATO air strikes and the man-slaughtering of Gaddafi』s regime in Libya.
Award organizers said on the 15th that a ceremony
will be held as scheduled on 9th December, despite the government ordering them against this.
Well-known historian, Princeton University Professor Yu
Ying-shih pointed out that this is simply a farce.
Yu Ying-shih: “the so-called Confucius Peace Prize itself
is simply a big joke and does not have any value.
I do not believe that Russia’s Prime Minister Vladimir Putin
would be interested in this matter, I do not know if he accepted it.
All in all I think this is really ridiculous. It shows the
Communist Party』s propaganda is completely out of touch with the times. “
“Voice of America" remarked that the Chinese media have a
『weird Putin complex.』
Xinhua Net reported on 15th Nov. that a poor farmer in Hefei county of Anhui prov. named Luo Yuanping who looks exactly like Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
He suddenly became the centre of attention and was called
“Brother Putin."
Russian official media has changed their previously closed
and rigid attitude during the reign of the former Soviet Union and reported the news with enthusiasm.
Voice of Russia also allotted a piece on Putin and
Luo Yuanping as aparallel collage.
Wall Street Journal indicated that the CCP likes the fact that
Putin joined Beijing to oppose the western countries in the UN Security Council.
Professor Yu Yingshi, a native of Anhui Province,
said it is a joke to say that Putin is for peace.
Hong Kong “Trends" magazine editor Zhang Weiguo said,
during the administration of Vladimir Putin, Russia’s journalists were slaughtered;
human rights went backward, he also commanded
the Chechen war, launched the war in Georgia, and so on.
Zhang Weiguo: “Now he is turning the clock back in the
Russian democratic political process by joining the presidential election.
He is such a person that runs against the world』s
democratic political development and the trend of civilization.
Now he was awarded the Confucius Peace Prize,
it』s either the wrong person was elected,
or the Confucius Peace Prize itself is wrapped in
the cloak of Confucius."
After Liu Xiaobo won the Nobel Peace Prize last year,
the Chinese Folk Art Association under the Chinese Ministry of Culture
announced the establishment of the Confucius Peace Prize.
The first winner, former vice president of Taiwan Lien Chan
was not aware of it and did not accept the award.
Because of opaque judging and selection, lack of financial regulation and other reasons,
the original team parted and thus two awards,
the “Confucius Peace Prize" and “Confucius World Peace Award" exist at the same time.
However, the Ministry of Culture called off both to
civil society organizers in September and October.
Qiao Damo, one of the candidates of the first “Confucius
Peace Prize" registered and
established the “China International Centre for Peace Studies"
in Hong Kong in October this year.
This center became the organizer of the “second Confucius
Peace Prize."
Zhang Weiguo: “So, it itself is a farce, and now this farce
was not entirely supported by the CCP’s authority.
They confront the Nobel Peace Prize with the Confucius Peace
Prize. It is against universal values.
Therefore, it started with a purpose not to head for real peace,
but is a united front in the international arena used as a political tool. “
The CCP also set up Confucius Institutes all around the world.
According to a Canadian Security Intelligence Service report,
the Confucius Institute is the CCP』s platform to export ideology and Chinese policy.
They serve as cultural infiltration tools and
brainwashing institutions, and conduct espionage to steal information in Canada.
Yu Ying-shih: “Therefore, the Communist Party has never had
real respect for Confucius. Marxism is now bankrupt, and has no theoretical basis.
So after so many searches, some people thought of
exploiting Confucianism, exploiting tradition, because this is a key nationalist sentiment.
However, whether or not it recognizes Confucius, and
its relation to despotism are also problematic."
Currently, within the Communist Party there are three separate
ideas and melee between Mao Zedong’s old communist path,
the old tradition of Confucius and Western democracy.
Zhang Weiguo analyzed, the “Confucius Peace Prize" reflects
the deep level of CCP sharp debate over universal values.
It also reflects the CCP』s leadership fights for
China’s political leadership.
