【新唐人2011年11月28日讯】中国富豪黄怒波在冰岛的购地计划于11月26号画上句号,冰岛内务部长态度强硬的拒绝了他的购地申请。一直对冰岛买地项目充满乐观的黄怒波,感觉不可思议。因为,从2007年到他申请时,冰岛政府共受理了25起外国人的购地申请,其中仅一起被拒绝。那么,是什么原因使黄怒波的计划成为泡影了呢?我们来听学者的分析。
高原、火山岩和野草,还有呼啸的风,这块位于冰岛东北部,300平方公里的荒凉之地,黄怒波打算砸下9000万美元购买。他还计划要投入1亿美元甚至更多资金,在这里修建一座豪华酒店和高尔夫球场,开发旅游业。
不过,26号,冰岛内务部长约纳松正式表态拒绝了黄怒波提出的购地申请。冰岛内务部的一份声明说,没有外国买家购买如此大面积土地的先例。
约纳松以强硬的口气说:这是最终决定,再无变更余地。
经济学者草庵居士分析,经过这么多年的开发,冰岛旅游业基本上已经饱和。而黄怒波购买的土地占了冰岛整个国土的0.3%,冰岛政府由此产生警觉。
经济学者草庵居士:“这种大面积的开发旅游业,从某种意义上来讲,评估,对投资上来讲是荒唐可笑的,但是我们要注意他的背景,黄先生曾经是中宣部干部、官员。有很多新闻界的专业人士讲,中国政府在旅游业的名义在当地将建立一个军事基地,所以在这种情况,当地政府国家拒绝购买完全是出于一种对中国的警觉。”
今年8月底黄怒波提出购地申请就受到质疑。英国《金融时报》早前报导,黄怒波曾经在中共中央宣传部和中国建设部工作过的背景,让人担忧“北京可能会获得在北大西洋的战略立足点”。
对于外界猜测自己代表政府圈地,黄怒波发表声明说,他的计划“与政治企图毫无关联”。黄怒波辩解,中国上世纪八九十年代,政府官员“下海经商”是热潮。
黄怒波起家于房地产市场。根据《福布斯》(Forbes)的排名,他拥有8.9亿美元的净资产,在中国富豪榜上排在161位。
《中国事务》主编伍凡认为,黄怒波投资买地背后的后台老板是中共政权,是中共当局一个战略投资。
伍凡分析,冰岛的北边的北极,由于天气暖化,冰块溶解,航路在夏天可以打开,将会降低出口运输费用。除了这个航路的利益,另外一个更大的利益是北极的能源。
《中国事务》主编伍凡:“中国如果在靠近北极的地方,冰岛有一块地,那就等于属于你的‘飞地’了,‘飞地’就是说我在外国有一个领土,‘飞地’慢慢发展,那就很难预料了。那些战略专家们都在分析,这样做对西方不利,对美国不利,对冰岛也不见得有利。”
英国《金融时报》分析,不管出于什么动机,这笔交易都突显出,中国和中国企业家正日益着眼于在海外施展财力。报导指出,中国投资者正在全球各地大肆购买土地和资源。
经济学者草庵居士:“对中国的警觉的根本原因是中国是一个独裁的国家,不是一个民主制度国家,如果是一个民主制度国家是不会遭遇这些问题的。所以我们在整个问题上看,根本的是中国要解决的是制度问题。这是一个根本的问题,而不是在全世界用谎言来欺骗全世界。”
路透社引述布鲁塞尔自由大学当代中国研究所所长霍尔斯拉格分析说,黄怒波的专案也许是民间行为,但确实符合中共政府在海外收购土地等战略资产的政策方针。

Iceland Turns down Chinese Tycoon
Chinese tycoon Huang Nubo’s plan to buy land in Iceland
finally came to an end on November 26th
when Iceland’s tough-talking interior minister rejected
his application to purchase land.
Huang Nubo was astonished by this decision,
for he was fully optimistic about the purchase.
Since 2007 until his application, the Iceland government
has taken 25 foreigners’ land purchase applications and ejected one only.
What, then, was the reason for this rejection?
The experts share their analyses.
Plateau, volcanic rocks and weeds, as well as the roaring wind,
this 300 square kilometers of barren land located in the northeast of Iceland is where Huang Nubo had planned
to buy for a price of US $90 million.
He also intended to invest US$100 million or more into
building a luxurious hotel and golf course for tourism.
However, on the 26th, the Icelandic Interior Minister Jonasson
formally rejected Huang Nubo’s land purchase application.
Icelandic Ministry of the Interior said in a statement that
there’s no precedent example of any foreign buyers to purchase a piece of land on such a large scale.
Friday’s decision is final and cannot be appealed,
the minister said.
Economists Caoang analyzed that after so many years of
development, the Icelandic tourism industry has basically been saturated.
Huang Nubo’s land purchase would account for 3% of all of
Iceland, which is alarming to the Icelandic government.
Economist Caoang: “A tourism development on such a
large scale, in terms of investment, is ludicrous, and
we should pay attention to his background, Mr. Huang was
once a cadre in Propaganda department, and an official.
Many media professionals have said that the Chinese
government will establish a military base in the name of the local tourism industry,
so in this case, the local government refusing the purchase is
completely out of being on alert."
Huang Nubo’s intention was once questioned when he
proposed his land purchase application at the end of August.
Huang Nubo’s work history in the Communist regime’s
Central Propaganda Department and
the Chinese Ministry of Construction caused concern: “Beijing
is trying to get a strategic foothold in the North Atlantic."
In response to the speculation that his land purchase is
on behalf of the Communist regime,
Huang Nubo issued a statement and claimed that
his plan has no relation to any political intent.
He explained that since the eighties and the nineties of
last century, Chinese government officials going into business has been a trend.
Huang Nubo established his fame in the real estate market.
According to Forbes rankings, he possesses US $890 million
of net assets and is ranked 161 on the China Rich List.
“China’s affairs" editor Wu Fan believes that Huang Nubo’s
investment to buy land was supported by the Chinese Communist regime,
and a strategic investment of the Chinese authorities.
Wu Fan analyzed that the ice in the Arctic of north Iceland,
due to the weather warming, would dissolve, and the routes could be opened in the summer,
which would in turn reduce the export transportation costs.
In addition to this transportation interest, another benefit is the greater Arctic energy.
“China’s affairs" editor Wu Fan; “If China owns a piece of
land near the North Pole in Iceland, it is equal to owning an ‘enclave’, and ‘enclave’ is a territory outside the state;
With ‘enclaves’ development, it is difficult to predict.
The strategic analysts believe this would be a disadvantage to
the West, against the interest of the United States, and not necessarily beneficial to Iceland. “
British “Financial Times" analyzed, “whatever his motives,
the deal shows how China and
its entrepreneurs are increasingly looking to exercise
their growing financial muscle abroad."
The report indicated, “Chinese investors are buying up land
and resources around the world."
Economist Caoang: “The root cause of this alert of China is
because China is an authoritarian state, not a democratic country.
A democracy will not encounter these problems.
Therefore, the whole issue is for China to solve the system
problem, which is a fundamental problem, rather than lying to deceive the world. “
Brussels Institute of Contemporary China Research Director
Hall Slager said: “This investment project in Iceland may be civil behavior,
but it does meet the overseas acquisition of land, raw materials
and technology policy and other strategic assets."
