【新唐人2014年10月29日訊】在過去的一年中，加拿大和美國的多個教育機構，以孔子學院「干涉學術自由」為名，決定終止與其合作。令人意外的是，日前中共自己也單方面終止了與加拿大的孔子學院合作協議。在中共想大力展示所謂軟實力的今天，為甚麼會這樣呢？請看以下分析報導。
10月23號，湖南省教育廳通過郵件，通知加拿大的多倫多教育局，中方將單方面終止孔子學院協議。
對此，前加拿大情報局（CSIS）亞太事務總監胡尼奧‧卡瑞亞（Michel Juneau-Katsuya），在接受美國中文媒體《大紀元》採訪時表示，在被多所大學和學院「解約」後，孔子學院首次主動退場，並不讓人感到意外，因為這是大勢所趨。
卡瑞亞說，「孔子學院多年來在許多國家一個常用的策略就是，通過政治上的滲透，操控其政治觀點和言論。 」
卡瑞亞還表示，他已經在多個場合說過，孔子學院還是一個間諜機構，被中共所操控和利用。許多西方國家的公開文件也明確點出這一點。
他透露，現在加拿大國內情報部門仍在調查，孔子學院員工試圖訪問政府機密文件、政府帳戶和郵箱，有的還要求給他們配政府郵箱，這樣他們就能夠進入政府系統。而卡瑞亞認為，這類行為，完全就是間諜行為。
前中共情報官李鳳智表示，中共情報部門通常會用各種外派部門和機構，來做情報活動，尤其是官方背景很強的機構。因此，他對有些地方的孔子學院從事情報活動，一點也不意外。
前中共情報官李鳳智：「中共設立孔子學院的時候，應該是有很大的戰略考慮的。我私人看，這是一個非常非常好的一個渠道，來把情報人員安插在裡面。」
李鳳智認為，中共官方率先發佈聲明終止合作，是為了避免尷尬，挽回臉面的舉動。
其實，在10月1號多倫多教育局委員會討論孔子學院時，多倫多華聯會代表、加拿大福建華聯總會、加拿大華人同鄉會聯會總會代表，都支持孔子學院一方發言，想讓教育局批准孔子學院。此外，還有加拿大福建華聯總會、北京協會等團體和個人在多倫多教育局外面示威。
卡瑞亞表示，這些希望孔子學院被批准的團體，都是受到中共控制或影響的，其中一些在公開資訊上就可以查到它們與中共的關係。
不過，多倫多教育局計劃委員會教委，沒有受到孔子學院和抗議團體的影響，以6:1壓倒性多數，決定在10月29號全體教委會議上，提出終止與孔子學院的合作。
實際上，從2004年中共在海外成立孔子學院至今，短短十年間已有460多家孔子學院先後建成，教師由中國國內派遣，使用的教科書也全部由中共當局編製。
目前，孔子學院這種迅猛的發展勢頭受到了阻力。
今年上半年，美國大學教授協會以侵害「學術自由」為由，呼籲重新對「孔子學院」進行檢討。理由是孔子學院聘用的講師及授課內容，都強烈反映中共政府的意向。
加拿大教師協會也以同樣理由，呼籲加拿大各高校抵制中共政府資助的孔子學院。
今年9月25號和10月1號，美國芝加哥大學和賓州州立大學，分別宣佈終止與孔子學院的合作。
前中國國家籃球隊員陳凱表示，自己讀過孔子學院的免費教材。他認為這些教材的價值觀是讓世界沒有好壞對錯，沒有真假是非，只承認強弱和權力。他說，這種宣傳是污染全世界、泯滅人良知的東西。
前中國國家籃球隊員陳凱：「當西方能夠接受孔子學院的時候，也就是在某種程度上接受了中共（政權）的合法性。他們最想建立的就是想泯滅西方人們的良知，就是讓人們不去問甚麼是真假，中共的政權是合法還是不合法。」
陳凱指出，中共建孔子學院的目的，是異化西方對中共的政策，從而增強中共政權的安全。從目前香港的情況可以看到，中共的這一目的達到了。

Former Canadian Intelligence Agent:
The Confucius Institute Is an Espionage Institution
In the past year, some educational institutions in Canada
and the United States decided to terminate their cooperation
with the Confucius Institute in the name of undermining
academic freedom.
Surprisingly, the Chinese regime even unilaterally terminated
its agreement between the Toronto District School Board
(TDSB) and the Confucius Institute recently.
As the Chinese regime has stepped up efforts to show
its so-called soft power, why would it do so?
Please see the following analytical reports.
On Oct. 23, the Hunan Provincial Education Department
informed the Toronto Board of Education that it would
unilaterally terminate its agreement with
the Chinese Confucius Institute.
When interviewed by U.S.-based Chinese language media
company Epoch Times, former Canadian Intelligence Service
(CSIS) Pacific Affairs Director Michel Juneau-Katsuya said
that after the Confucius Institute was rejected by several
universities and colleges, it was no surprise to see
the first unilateral withdrawal of the Confucius Institute
setting the trend.
Juneau-Katsuya said: “A common strategy used
by the Confucius Institute in many countries over the years
was manipulating political views and comments
by means of political infiltration.”
Juneau-Katsuya also noted that as he has mentioned
on various occasions, the Confucius Institute is an espionage
institute controlled and utilized by the Chinese regime.
It has also been clearly pointed out by public documents
in many Western countries.
He revealed that the Canadian intelligence agencies are still
in the process of investigating allegations that Confucius
Institute staff members are attempting to access confidential
government documents, accounts and mailboxes.
Some also requested that governmental email accounts
be provided to them so that they are able to access
government systems.
Juneau-Katsuya said that such move is actually
espionage.
Former Chinese intelligence agent Li Fengzhi said Chinese
regime intelligence agencies often conduct espionage
activities through a variety of units and institutions stationed
overseas, especially those with strong official backgrounds.
Therefore, he was not surprised to learn that the Confucius
Institutes in some places are engaged in intelligence activities.
Li Fengzhi: “When the Chinese regime set up the Confucius
Institute, there should be much strategic consideration.
In my view, it’s a very good channel to deploy
intelligence agents working overseas.”
Li Fengzhi added that the Chinese regime took the initiative
to announce the termination of the cooperation in order
to avoid embarrassment and to save face.
In fact, when the TDSB was discussing issues regarding
the Confucius Institute on Oct. 1, all representatives
from the Confederation of Toronto Chinese Canadian
Organizations (CTCCO), the Canadian Federation of Fujian
Associations and the Federation of Overseas Chinese
Associations supported the views expressed by the Confucius
Institute, attempting to help the Institute get approval.
In addition, the Canadian Federation of Fujian Associations
and the Beijing Association, as well as other groups
and individuals also staged demonstrations outside the TDSB.
Juneau-Katsuya said those organizations hope
the Confucius Institute to be approved are controlled
or influenced by the Chinese regime.
For some of them, their relationship with the Chinese regime
is available in publicized information.
However, the Toronto District School Board Planning
Commission Board of Education was not affected
by the Confucius Institute and the protesting groups.
It passed by an overwhelming majority of 6:1 in favor
of bringing up a motion to terminate the agreement
with the Confucius Institute at the Board’s plenary meeting
on Oct.
In fact, since the Chinese regime established its first
Confucius Institute overseas in 2004, there have been over
460 Confucius Institutes set up overseas one after another
over the past ten years.
All teachers were from China, and all the textbooks used
were compiled by the Chinese authorities.
Currently, the Confucius Institute’s rapid development
momentum has met with resistance.
In the first half of the year, the U.S. Association of University
Professors called for the re-evaluation of the Confucius
Institute on the grounds that it undermines academic freedom.
They also pointed out that the lecturers hired
by the Confucius Institute and the contents of their teaching
strongly reflect the Chinese regime’s intentions.
Canadian Teachers’ Association also urged Canadian colleges
to boycott the Confucius Institutes subsidized
by the Chinese regime.
On Sept. 25 and Oct. 1, the University of Chicago
and Pennsylvania State University also announced
the termination of cooperation with the Confucius Institute
respectively.
Former Chinese national basketball player Kai Chen
said that he had read the free textbooks provided by
the Confucius Institute.
He thinks the values promoted by these materials
are allowing the world to be devoid of the qualities
of differentiating between good and bad, truth and false,
while only emphasizing the strength and power.
He said that this kind of propaganda is pollutes
the world and eliminates human conscience.
Chen Kai: “When the West accepts the Confucius Institute,
it’s tantamount to accepting the Chinese regime’s legality
to a certain extent.
What it mostly wants to do is eliminate Western people’s
consciences, that is, allow people to lose the ability
to differentiate between good and bad, true and false,
and whether the Chinese regime is legitimate or not.”
Kai Chen noted that the objective of establishing
the Confucius Institute is to alienate Western countries’
policies towards the Chinese regime, so as to reinforce
the security of the regime.
Judging from the current situation in Hong Kong,
it seems that the regime has reached its goal.
