【新唐人2014年06月20日訊】5月18號,加拿大多倫多教育局投票通過了推遲與「孔子學院」合作的決議。日前,「美國大學教授協會」(The American Association of University Professors,AAUP)也炮轟「孔子學院」破壞美國學術自由,呼籲廢止或重新談判與「孔子學院」達成的協議。外界指出,中共不惜耗費巨額資金在其他國家建立「孔子學院」,以便偷偷輸出共產主義,現在終於被人識破,可謂偷雞不成反蝕一把米。
加拿大多倫多教育局推遲與「孔子學院」合作決議之前,多倫多教育局收到了來自湖南省教育局和北京「孔子學院」總部,措辭基本相同的威脅信。加拿大《環球郵報》報導,信中說,如果關於多倫多「孔子學院」的計劃擱淺,雙方關係將受到嚴重影響。
而日前,「美國大學教授協會」,也發表聲明表示,為了維護學術自由,呼籲美國近100所大學,取消或重新談判與「孔子學院」之間達成的協議。這些大學教授認為,美國的大學允許中共政府來制定僱傭,和監督「孔子學院」教學人員的準則、規定課程和討論的範圍,是犧牲了這些大學及教學人員的獨立性和學術上的客觀性。
美國南卡羅萊納大學艾肯商學院教授謝田表示,西方排斥「孔子學院」,實際是對中共的棒喝。謝田說,中共本來想利用「孔子學院」來輸出邪惡的共產主義,現在,中共偷雞不成反而蝕了一把米,進也不是,退也不是。
加拿大前安全情報官員米歇爾•朱諾克向《加拿大國際廣播電臺》介紹,西方國家的安全部門,懷疑「孔子學院」也被用於蒐集情報。米歇爾認為,中共在公立中小學開設「孔子學院」,反映出中國情報部門不只著眼於今後幾年,而是著眼於今後幾代。
《加拿大國際廣播電臺》報導,「加拿大高校教師協會」主席吉姆.特克,在接受加拿大廣播公司採訪時表示,大專院校和教育局開設的所有課程,應該處於它們自己的控制之下,不應該受到任何一個外國政府或任何第三方的影響。而在「孔子學院」的課堂上,有些話題是不能碰的,這些話題包括西藏,法輪功,1989年「六四天安門事件」,台灣問題等等。
美國「蒙大拿大學」(the University of Montana)退休史學教授史蒂芬•萊文(Steven Levine),2009年代表蒙大拿大學,前往北京與中國「國家對外漢語教學領導小組辦公室」(漢辦)洽談辦理「孔子學院」事宜。史蒂芬告訴《新唐人》,「漢辦」主任要求「孔子學院」,執行很多他們不情願做的事情,包括制定很多歌曲、遊戲以及其他所謂中國文化項目。
美國蒙大拿大學退休史學教授史蒂芬•萊文:(英文)「我以前期待的孔子是世界歷史上一個偉大的人物,而不僅僅是中國歷史上的,而孔子學院所表達和定向的,沒有真正代表中國人民所希望看到、和有機會去選擇的。」
「孔子學院」是由中共教育部旗下的「漢辦」資助,而「漢辦」創建於1987年,職能就是在全球建立「孔子學院」。據「孔子學院」官方網站介紹,截至去年年底,全球已經建立440所「孔子學院」和646個孔子課堂,分佈在120個國家和地區。而「孔子學院」的資金、教材和教師都由「漢辦」提供。「孔子學院」還為外國學生和學者提供獎學金。
加拿大不列顛哥倫比亞省高貴林學區的國際教育項目副主管透露,他們學區,每年可以從「漢辦」領到價值一百萬加元的書籍和教材,以及10萬加元的資金。
原大陸史學教授劉因全:「中共在歷史上向周邊,向其他國家輸出共產主義,現在共產主義已經破產了,他們再去搖著在共產主義的破旗向外滲透,顯然是太不自量力了,這樣中共就拿起孔子的招牌來輸出它的那些貨色。」
評論質疑,2006年時,中國已經有300萬兒童,因為交不起學費不能上學,中共為何把民眾的納稅錢,運到海外辦「孔子學院」﹖

Confucius Institute Rejected,The Secret Spread of
Communism is Revealed.
On May 18 Toronto District School Board voted to postpone
the agreement with the Confucius Institute.
The American Association of University Professors recently
criticized the Confucius Institute for undermining academic
freedom in the United States and called for repeal or a re-
negotiation with the Institute.
Overseas critics noted that the Chinese Communist Party
(CCP) is spending huge amounts of money to establish the
Confucius Institute to secretly export communism, which
has finally been identified.
The CCP has lost its investment and gained nothing.
Before postponing the cooperation agreement with the
Confucius Institute, Toronto District School Board received a
threatening letter from Hunan Provincial Department of
Education and Confucious Institute Headquarters in Beijing.
Canada’s Globe and Mail reported the letter said if the plan
is put on hold, bilateral relations will be seriously affected.
A few days ago the American Association of University
Professors sent a statement to nearly 100 US universities
to cancel or re-negotiate their agreements with the Confucius
Institute to safeguard academic freedom.
These professors believe that letting the CCP make policies
and guidelines in US universities on employment, supervision,
courses scope and topics of seminars compromises objective
independence of universities, teaching staff and academics.
University of South Carolina Aiken School of Business
Professor Xie Tian, “It is an obvious warning about the CCP.
I think the CCP is the biggest loser in the entire process.
It gained nothing from the huge investment.
It wanted to export its evil communism via the institute but
people have seen through it.
It is in a dilemma whether to stay or withdraw.”
Former Canadian Security Intelligence officer Michel Juneau-
Katsuya spoke to Radio Canada International.
He said that Western national security organizations suspect
the Confucius Institute is also used to gather intelligence.
Michel feels the CCP setting up Confucius Institutes in
schools means the spying is focused on future generations.
Radio Canada International quoted Canadian Association of
University Teachers Executive Director Jim Turk interviewed
by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation about courses in
universities and schools.
He believes that all courses offered by universities and
school districts should be under their own control.
It is not good for them to be impacted by
foreign governments or any third party.
In the Confucius Institute classroom, some topics
cannot be touched upon.
These include Tibet, Falun Gong, the 1989 Tiananmen
incident, the Taiwan issue and so on.
Retired Professor Steven Levin visited Beijing in 2009 to
negotiate on behalf of the University of Montana.
He spoke about the Confucius Institute with China’s National
Office of Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language (NOCFL).
Steven told NTD that NOCFL asked them to do lots of things
they did not want to do.
These including many songs, games and other so-called
Chinese cultural projects.
The Confucius Institute is sponsored by NOCFL.
NOCFL was founded in 1987 by the CCP, with the function
to establish Confucius Institutes around the world.
According to Confucius Institute’s official website, by 2013,
440 Confucius Institutes and 646 Confucius Classrooms were
set up in 120 countries and regions, with all the funding, books
and teachers from NOCFL.
NOCFL also offer scholarships to foreign students and scholars.
Deputy Leader of the International Education Program in
British Columbia, Canada revealed the school district received
1 million Canadian dollars worth of books and teaching aids
and an additional100,000 in funding every year.
Former Professor of History Liu Yinquan, “ The CCP exports
communism to its outer edges in the past.
As communism has now gone bankrupt, it is not feasible to
export communism on the surface.
The CCP has to use the signs of Confucius to export its stuff.”
Commentators raised questions that 300 million children
in China could not attend school due to poverty in 2006.
Why does the CCP spend taxpayers’ money to set up
overseas Confucian Institutes ?
