【新唐人2012年2月16日讯】中共副主席习近平在抗议声中抵达美国访问。中共的人权记录遭到各方的谴责，而习近平在白宫与奥巴马总统和拜登副总统会谈时，却为中共过去30年的人权记录做出辩护。大陆民众表示失望，还有人认为，只要是在中共体制下，中国的人权不会得到改善。
14号，习近平正式进行访美活动。当天，奥巴马总统和拜登副总统在白宫与习近平就双方意见分歧的问题，包括人权和贸易举行了会谈。
会谈期间，美国明确指出，中共需要改进人权与数位中国知名维权人士的处境。奥巴马还呼吁两国间发展更平衡的贸易，同时，也会继续促使中共改善人权。
然而，在美国国务院举行的午餐会上，习近平却表示，中国过去30年来在人权上取得了“巨大”进步。
美国国会众议员弗兰克•沃尔夫表示，与中共闭门谈人权，没有任何结果。
大陆维权人士来金彪指出，中共现在还关押那么多政治犯﹔公民完全没有言论自由﹔新闻媒体整个都受中宣部的控制。中国的人权根本就没有进步。
来金彪：“事实上我们根本对中共不抱有任何希望，因为无论到哪一个年代，无论到哪一届所谓的接班人，我们都不会忘记它是姓共。”
江苏无锡访民丁先生指出，在中国老白姓找不到人权和自由。
江苏无锡访民丁先生：“我们中国老百姓没有人权的。我们地方政府对中国的法律不执行的，是欺侮老百姓的，他们的权利代替了法律。”
去年12月16号，中共人权律师高智晟在五年缓刑即将届满的前一周，中共喉舌《新华社》，在海外网站上发布英文短讯声称，高智晟被撤销缓刑，已经移交法院裁决收监，发放到新疆沙雅监狱继续服刑。然而这一切都没有通知家人。
在习近平访问白宫的同时，美国国会及行政部门“中国问题委员会”的联合主席克里斯托夫•史密斯和参议员谢罗德•布朗，在国会议员办公楼内，为“中国人权律师高智晟的遭遇”举行听证会。高智晟妻子耿和与其他人权人士到场作证。
谢罗德•布朗听了耿和回顾高律师遭受的酷刑及家人遭受的磨难后表示，高智晟面对的问题，是中共政府公然无视法律。
参议员谢罗德•布朗：“高先生的案子以及他代理的案子表明，中共官员随意在欺骗、扭曲法律，玩弄整个体系。”
参议员谢罗德•布朗认为，奥巴马政府正在与凶手为友，他希望美国政府在人权方面不应软弱让步。
与此同时，“记者无国界”组织呼吁全球关心中国网民的言论自由权利，“记者无国界”把中国网民的问题，整理成一份问题清单，向全球媒体公布，并转交在美国访问的中国代表团。
14号清晨，法轮功学员分别聚集在白宫和美国国务院，以及习近平下榻的旅馆外和平抗议，呼吁习近平调查非法迫害法轮功学员的中共官员，停止对法轮功的迫害，并法办镇压法轮功的元凶江泽民等。
不少组织和团体也希望奥巴马能在人权问题上给中方提出建议。
在美国的“公民力量”发起人杨建利，以及《北京之春》杂志主编胡平也发表了致奥巴马总统公开信，信中表示：中国的人权问题不只是中国的问题，而且也越来越成为世界的问题。

Xi Jinping’s Visit to the US Draws Protests
Xi Jinpin, the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP)
vice chairman’s visit to the U.S. met with a few protests.
The world condemns CCP’s human rights abuses, however,
in the White House meeting with Barack Obama and Joe Biden,
Xi tried to defend the CCP’s 30+ years past record on human
rights. Xi’s reaction disappointed mainlanders.
Some people understand that China’s human rights will not
improve as long as the CCP is ruling the country.
On the 14th Feb., Xi Jinping began his official visit to the US.
On the same day, President Obama and Vice President Biden
held meetings with Xi Jinping in the White House.
They discussed human rights and trade issues.
During the meeting, the US clearly stated, the CCP must improve
its human rights record and change the activists’ situation.
Obama urged China to balance the trade flow, he also vowed to
keep pressing the CCP to clean up its human rights record.
However, at a State Department lunch, Xi said the CCP has
made much progress on human rights over the past 30 years.
The US Congressman Frank Wolf said, talks with the CCP
using “quiet diplomacy” have not yielded results.
China activist Lai Jinbiao said, the CCP has jailed many
political prisoners; the public has no freedom of speech;
the central propaganda department controls publication.
Human rights in China have not made any progress.
Lai Jinbiao, “In fact, we don’t hold any hope in the CCP.
No matter which year, no matter which successor, we will
never forget that they belong to the CCP family.”
Mr. Ding from Wuxi in Jiangxi, pointed out that now in China,
there is no way to have human rights and freedom.
Ding, “People in China have no human rights.
The local authorities implement the law, bullying civilians,
officials put their rights above the law.”
Last Dec.16, the human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng was sent
back to prison a week before his probation had expired.
The CCP mouthpiece, Xinhua News Agency announced on an
overseas’ English website, the removal of Gao’s probation and his transfer to court.
Afterwards Gao was sent to Shaya jail in Xinjiang.
However, Gao’s family hasn’t been informed.
During Xi Jinping’s visit to the White House, Christopher Smith,
the Chairman of Congressional Executive Commission on China
and Senator Sherrod Brown chaired a meeting in the congressman’s
office regarding the human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng.
Gao’s wife, Geng He, and other activists attended the
meeting as witnesses.
Listening to Geng He’s speech about Gao’s suffering of brutal
torture, and their family’s hardship, Sherrod Brown said that
the problem Gao has faced, is the result of disregard of the
law by the CCP regime.
Sherrod Brown, “Gao’s case in the cases he works on show us
how easy it is for Chinese officials to cheat, to bend the laws, to play games with the system.”
Sherrod Brown said, the Obama government is making friends
with murderers, he hopes the US government shall not be weak on human rights issues.
Meanwhile Reporters without Borders (RWB) urges to show
concern in Chinese netizens’ rights on freedom of speech.
RWB made a list of the problems that Chinese netizens are
faced with, releasing it to international media.
RWB also passed this list to Chinese delegations
visiting the US.
On the morning of Feb.14, Falun Gong practitioners protested
to Xi in front of the White House, State Department and outside the hotel where Xi stayed.
They urged Xi to investigate the CCP officials who persecute
Falun Gong practitioners, calling for an end to the persecution, and bringing Jiang Zemin to justice.
The human rights groups also hope Obama would make
suggestions to Xi on China’s human rights issues.
Yang Jianli, founder of the Initiatives for China in US, and
Hu Ping, Chief Editor of Beijing Spring magazine published an open letter to Obama, stating,
“China’s human rights issue is not only China’s problem,
it becomes the concern of the whole world.
