【新唐人2012年2月3日讯】前“六四天安门学运”领袖王丹和台湾“旺旺中时集团”董事长蔡衍明打了一场笔仗,起因是蔡衍明对美国记者说,1989年“天安门大屠杀”并无此事,日前蔡衍明说,《华盛顿邮报》的报导断章取义,愿为“六四言论”道歉澄清。分析认为,中共“六四大屠杀”多数海外民众都清楚,蔡应自己证实此事。
蔡衍明在王丹脸书上留言,澄清他早前的“六四言论”,他声称,是《华盛顿邮报》断章取义、片面曲解了对他的访谈内容,要求王丹“还他一个清白公道”。他还表示,如果他的“六四言论”对两岸同胞不尊重,他愿意郑重道歉。
2月1号,王丹对蔡衍明的澄清做出回应说:“蔡衍明先生提出澄清,我表示欢迎,这说明既有呈现出来的言论是不符合外界认知的,我认为蔡先生的这个判断是正确的。”
王丹又在回复中声明,如果蔡先生认为自己的意思被曲解,最能够还原他清白的是他本人。
王丹表示,言论自由要建立在讲事实的基础上,他作为六四事件的当事人,不可能对任何违反六四事件事实的相关言论保持沉默。他期待看到蔡衍明与《华盛顿邮报》交涉的结果。
《北京之春》杂志主编胡平表示,蔡衍明说《华盛顿邮报》曲解了对他的访谈内容,他应该拿出证据,有一个明确的表示。
胡平:“蔡衍明自己需要他拿出证据,因为他说他原话不是那么讲的,他现在应该对这个问题有一个很明确的表示六四的问题我相信在海外,包括在台湾大多民众都还是清楚的。”
“六四”亲历者郑存柱认为,蔡衍明在给自己找台阶下。
“六四”亲历者郑存柱:“他可能自己也觉得他那种言论是完全没有逻辑的,他自己可能给自己找一个台阶,找一个合理的借口。”
1月21号《华盛顿邮报》刊登记者对蔡衍明的访谈说,蔡衍明在中国有大量生意,和中共当局关系密切,他还收购台湾媒体。
报导说,当谈到六四天安门事件时,蔡衍明表示,六四“天安门事件”中只身阻挡坦克的那个画面让他震惊,那个人“居然活着”,“说明所谓‘大屠杀’之说显然不对,并没有真的死那么多人。”
这篇访谈刊出后,王丹在自己的脸书上针对蔡衍明之相关言论表达不满并宣布:“本人即日起拒买《中国时报》!”。
很多网友也回应拒买《中国时报》或拒食旺旺食品,他们认为,蔡衍明发表这样的言论是为私利而出卖良心。台湾自由派教授学者也撰文批判蔡衍明。
郑存柱表示:“当年王维林挡坦克是在6月5号上午,大白天有很多外国记者,中共不敢贸然把一个挡坦克的人压死,但是,这个逻辑并不证明,中共没开枪杀人。”
“六四”受害者方政指出:“在六四‘屠杀’中,一个不能抹杀的事实就是,我亲身经历的这么一个场景,坦克疯狂的向人群冲杀过来,造成了大量的伤亡。”
2月2号王丹在脸书上再度针对蔡衍明提出“个人持保留态度”,他将在看到《华盛顿邮报》的报导是否真有片面报导之处,再做回应。王丹还说,自己所属的《澄社》,已经与《中国时报》联络,愿意与蔡衍明当面交换意见。

Tsai Eng Meng apologizes for June 4th Massacre Comment
Wang Dan is a former June 4th Tiananmen Square student
movement leader.
Tsai Eng Meng is Taiwan’s WantWant Corporation CEO.
The two have been in confrontation regarding Tsai’s comment
during an interview with American reporter.
Tsai denied the existence of the Tiananmen Square Massacre.
Tsai Eng Meng has recently stated the Washington Post
report twisted his words, and he is willing to apologize.
Tsai clarified that most overseas citizens know about the
Chinese regime’s Tiananmen Square Massacre.
Tsai left a message on Wang Dan’s Facebook page, clarifying
his previous comment on the June 4th incident.
He claims the Washington Post distorted his words, and
twisted the content of the interview.
He wants Wang Dan to help prove his innocence.
He also expressed, if his June 4th comment was disrespectful,
he is willing to sincerely apologize.
On Feb 1, Wang Dan responded to Tsai’s message, “Mr. Tsai
Eng Meng proposed to clarify, I express my welcome.
This shows that the reported comment was opposing the
known facts, I think Mr. Tsai made a right decision.”
Wang also said, if Mr. Tsai thinks his words were twisted,
then he himself is the best person to prove his innocence.
Wang Dan expressed, freedom of speech is built on the
foundation of speaking the facts.
As a participant in the June 4th incident, he can’t stay silent
to any comments that violate the facts.
He hopes to see the results of Tsai’s interaction with the
Washington Post.
Chief Editor of Beijing Spring Magazine Hu Ping commented.
Tsai Eng Meng says the Washington Post twisted his words,
then he should show proof of that.
Hu Ping: “Tsai Eng Meng must show proof that those were
not his original words.
He needs to make a clear statement regarding that.
I think regarding the June 4th incident, most Taiwanese
citizens know the facts.”
June 4th incident witness Zheng Cunzhu believes Tsai
is looking for a way out.
Zheng Cunzhu: “He might feel that his words are not logical,
and he is looking for a way out, a logical excuse.”
The Jan 21 Washington Post interview with Mr. Tsai said
that Tsai Eng Meng has a lot of China business interest.
He is very close to the Chinese regime.
He also bought Taiwanese media.
When discussing June 4th incident, Tsai was quoted to say
that the video of the person blocking the tank was shocking.
However, “We saw on TV that the man who blocked a column
of tanks was not killed [at Tiananmen Square]…
“If the Chinese government had wanted, it could have killed
so many. Therefore, you cannot call it a ‘massacre….”
After this interview was published, Wang Dang protested
Tsai’s comments on Facebook.
He wrote, “I will refuse to buy China Times from now on!”
Many netizens also responded saying they will stop buying
China Times and WantWant food products.
They say that Tsai’s comments are out of greed and against
human conscience.
Taiwan’s liberal professor and scholars also criticized Tsai.
Zheng Cunzhu, “Wang Weilin blocking the tank was on the
morning of June 5th, many foreign reporters were there.
The Chinese regime does not dare to crush someone.
However, this can’t show that the regime didn’t open fire
on people.”
June 4th victim Fang Zheng, “The June 4th massacre
is an undeniable fact.
I personally experienced it, tanks madly crushing into the
crowds, causing a large number of injuries and deaths.”
On Feb 2, Wang Dan wrote on his Facebook that he will wait
and see.
He will make a response after he has seen an article in the
Washington Post clarifying Tsai’s interview.
Wang Dang also said, Chengshe, which he is part of, has
contacted China Times, hoping to discuss with Mr. Tsai.
