【新唐人2011年11月17日讯】被中共文化部叫停的孔子和平奖“起死回生”，第二届“孔子和平奖”近几天授予俄罗斯总理普京。海内外学者指出，“孔子和平奖”是中共“叫板”诺贝尔和平奖的举动，与开设“孔子学院”一样，用孔子的外衣包装党文化，在国际上施展所谓的软实力进行政治统战。
11月13号，第二届“孔子和平奖”主办方宣布，经包括“五毛学者”北京大学教授孔庆东等在内的16位评委投票，授予普京“2011年孔子和平奖”。
普京获奖的理由是他今年反对北约空袭正在屠杀人民的利比亚卡扎菲政权。评选主办者15号说，颁奖仪式12月9号将如期举行，尽管政府命令他们不要这样做。
著名史学家、普林斯顿大学讲座教授余英时指出，这根本就是一个闹剧。
余英时：“所谓孔子和平奖本身根本就是个很大的笑话，根本就没有任何价值。我也不相信俄国的总理普京会对这个事情有兴趣，是不是接受了我都不清楚。我觉得总而言之，这个实在是很可笑的事情，表示共产党在宣传上面已经完全与时代脱节了。”
《美国之音》认为中共媒体有“怪异的普京情结”。《新华网》11月15号报导说，在安徽合肥郊县，一个长相酷似俄总理普京的贫穷农民罗元平，突然成了众人聚焦的中心，他被称为“普京哥”。
俄罗斯官方媒体也一改前苏联的封闭和僵化，热情的予以报导，《俄罗斯之声》还配发了一张普京和罗元平并列的拼贴图片。
《华尔街日报》则指出，中共喜欢普京在联合国安理会跟北京联合对抗西方国家。祖籍安徽的余英时教授表示，要说普京和平，那是很开玩笑的。
香港《动向》杂志主编张伟国指出，普京执政期间，俄罗斯的记者被屠杀，人权倒退，而且指挥车臣战争，发动对格鲁吉亚的战争，等等。
张伟国：“现在他又在俄罗斯的民主政治进程当中要开倒车，重新返回来要选总统，这种跟整个世界的民主政治发展潮流和现代政治文明背道而驰的人物，他被选出孔子和平奖，要么选错人，要么孔子和平奖本身就是披着孔子的外衣。”
去年刘晓波获得诺贝尔和平奖之后，挂靠在中共文化部之下的中国乡土艺术协会宣布设立“孔子和平奖”，首届获奖者台湾前副总统连战却不知情，也没领奖。
因为评选不透明、财务监管缺失等原因，导致原班人马分道扬镳，进而产生“孔子和平奖”和“孔子世界和平奖”两个奖。但是，今年9月和10月，主办这两个奖的民间机构都被文化部叫停。
首届“孔子和平奖”候选人之一谯达摩，今年10月在香港注册成立“中国国际和平研究中心”，这个机构成为“第二届孔子和平奖”的主办方。
张伟国：“所以，它本身是一个闹剧，现在这个闹剧也没有被中共的权威完全肯定。用孔子和平奖来对抗诺贝尔和平奖，来对抗普世价值，所以它一开始，它的宗旨、它的目地并不是为了真正的和平，而是成为在国际上进行政治统战的一个工具。”
中共还在海外各地广设“孔子学院”。加拿大安全情报局报告指出，“孔子学院”是中共向外输出意识形态和政策的平台，是文化渗透的工具和洗脑的机构，并在加拿大有窃取情报的间谍行为。
余英时：“所以，共产党从来没有真正尊重过孔子，只是现在马克思主义破产了，没有理论根据了。所以找来找去，就有一部分人想利用儒家、利用传统，因为这个关键是一种民族主义情绪。但是，认同的是不是孔子跟专制的关系，那也很成问题。”
目前，中共内部有主张走毛泽东的共产老路、孔子的传统老路和西方的民主宪政三派混战。张伟国分析，“孔子和平奖”在深层上反映出中共高层对普世价值争论的尖锐化，也反映出中共高层在争夺中国政治的主导权。

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.
