【新唐人2012年2月18日讯】中共国家副主席习近平2月17号晚间结束对美国的访问,在5天的访问行程中,奥巴马政府就人权、人民币汇率、贸易摩擦、美国亚太战略、叙利亚等问题,与中方进行了多方面交锋。而习近平基本都以中共固有官话回应,有分析指习近平访美政治作秀为主,并无实质成果。
习近平15号在美国国会山庄会晤了参众两院领袖,对于议员们提出中美分歧的尖锐问题,外媒报导声称习近平“寸步不让”。
参议员麦凯恩提出了西藏僧侣自焚、诺贝尔和平奖得主被监禁、叙利亚等问题,习近平回应说:“我们有需要改进的地方,不过美国过去也有过很多问题。”
众议院议长贝纳提到了美国非常关注中共侵犯人权和宗教自由行为,议长办公室还向习近平递交了一封关于被监禁的北京维权律师高智晟的信件。
奥巴马总统14号在与习近平会谈中提到了人权案例。此前,一些议员致函奥巴马,要求他提出高智晟、郭泉、陈光诚、刘贤斌、阿里木江‧依米提和杨荣丽牧师的个案。拜登副总统则说:“中国的人权状况在不断恶化。”
习近平对此辩护说:“在人权问题上没有最好,只有更好。”
习近平16号抵达洛杉矶访问,当地法轮功学员15号冒雨在中共领事馆前,抗议中共对法轮功12年多的血腥迫害,当地法轮功发言人、加州大学洛杉矶分校教授吴英年驳斥了习近平的辩护。
吴英年:“所谓的‘没有最好,只有更好’,那么我们看一看,在中国大陆的监狱、劳教所、洗脑班里面,无辜的法轮功学员被非法关押,被酷刑折磨,甚至被折磨致死,这哪有什么更好?这只有更坏!”
“追查迫害法轮功国际组织”16号发布最新调查报告指出,上周逃亡美国领事馆寻求庇护的王立军,在任锦州市公安局长兼“现场心理研究中心”主任期间,涉嫌参与了活体摘取法轮功学员器官。
连日来,习近平访美所到之处,都有众多法轮功学员、藏人和民运等团体抗议。而中共使领馆则花钱组织华人社团和留学生欢迎习近平,据透露每次活动补贴50美元。
习近平13号晚在华盛顿中共大使馆会见华人社团和留学生代表,讲话中引用了毛泽东语录“你们就像早晨八、九点钟的太阳”。14号,习近平在美中企业家座谈会讲话,再次引用毛泽东诗句。
中方组织了300多家企业组成的经贸代表团,随同习近平访美,采购单总金额高达271亿美元。
对于美方施压人民币升值与贸易摩擦,习近平15号在演讲中说,解决中美贸易不平衡的关键,是美国自身经济政策和结构的调整,包括取消对华高技术出口限制。
习近平还表示,美国应慎重妥善处理涉及中方核心利益的问题,尊重中国在亚太地区的利益。奥巴马在与习近平会谈时则指出,美中关系“存在紧张的领域”。
香港《动向》杂志主编张伟国表示,习近平所说的都是中共的官话,这种访问就是作秀。
张伟国:“用现在媒体的话讲,就是让美国社会和老百姓了解他,事实上他也在演戏,不可能了解他。在十八大之前,他想利用这样一种公关宣传,为自己上台造势,但是,不会有什么实质性的影响。”
美国“哥伦比亚大学”政治学博士李天笑指出,十八大人事安排是由党内权力斗争决定的,尤其是“王立军事件”引发高层内讧火拼,习近平能否接班还很难说,甚至导致中共崩盘,这是美国应该注意到的。

Xi Very Defensive On Human Rights
The Chinese regime’s Vice Chairman Xin Jinping
ended his visit to the U.S on Feb 17th.
During Xi’s 5 days trip, Obama administration discussed with
Xi regarding Human Rights, RMB exchange rate,
trade disputes, U.S Asia-Pacific Strategy, Syria and so on.
However, Xi stubbornly defended which is the Chinese
regime’s usual diplomatic way.
Analysts comment, Xi’s visit to the U.S. is a political show,
No real achievements.
Xi Jinping met U.S. House and Senate leaders on the 15th at
Capitol Hill,
regarding issues where U.S-China have conflicting views,
media have reported that Xi “didn’t give any ground”.
Senator John McCain raised questions regarding Tibetan monks
self-immolation, imprisonment of Nobel Peace Price winner,
Syria and other issues, Xi ‘s response was, “We have places
where we have to improve, but the U.S has had many problems in the past.”
Speaker of the House John Boehner stressed that the U.S is
very concerned regarding China’s violations of human rights and freedom of religion,
his office also delivered a letter to Xi regarding the
imprisonment of Beijing human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng.
Obama also mentioned human rights cases while talking to
Mr Xi on Feb 14. Several Congressmen requested that
Obama mention human rights cases including those of
Gao Zhisheng, Guo Quan, Chen Guangcheng, Liu Xianbin, Alimujiang Yimiti and pastor Yang Rongli.
Vice president Joe Biden said,
“Human rights in China continue to deteriorate.”
Xi Jinping’s defense was, “there is no best in human rights
issues, only better.”
When Xi Jinping arrived in Los Angeles on Feb 16,
local Falun Gong practitioners protested in the rain
in front of the Chinese Consulate, protesting the Chinese
regime’s 12 year bloody persecution of Falun Gong.
Local Falun Gong spokesman, UCLA professor Wu Yingnian
refuted Xi Jinping’s defense.
Wu Yingnian said, “With regard to the so called
‘no best, just better, statement’ the way we see it,
in mainland China there are prisons, labor camps,
brainwashing classes, innocent Falun Gong practitioners are
illegally jailed, tortured, even tortured to death,
where is the better? There is only worse!”
World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of
Falun Gong released a report on Feb 16,
Wang Lijun who sought political asylum from the U.S Consulate
last week was involved in live organ harvesting from
Falung Gong practitioners while he was the Chief of
Police at Jinzhou city.
In recent days, where ever Xi went, Falun Gong practitioners,
Tibetans, pro-democracy movement and other groups protested.
On the other side, the Chinese consulate paid Chinese organizations
and Chinese students to welcome him, each participant was paid $50 by the Chinese consulate.
Xi had a meeting with Chinese communities and student
representatives at the Chinese Embassy in Washington.
In Xi’s speech, he quoted Mao Zedong’s words
“You are like the sun at 8 or 9 in the morning”.
On Feb.14, Xi again used quotations from Mao Zedong.
300 more enterprises and trade delegations from China
accompanied Xi’s visit to the US. Purchase orders are up to $27.1 billion.
Regarding US’s pressure on the RMB and trade conflict,
Xi said on Feb.15, that
the key to resolving the Sino-US trade imbalance is the
US’s own economic policies and structural adjustment.
including the removal of the restrictions of China’s
high-tech exportation.
Xi also said that the US should be careful to handle the issue of
China’s core interests, respecting the Sino interests in the Asia-pacific region.
In the meeting, Obama pointed out that the two sides
have areas of tension.
Zhang Weiguo, Chief Editor of Hong Kong’s Trend magazine,
said that Xi’s talk is the CCP’s official speech, this visit is a showcase visit.
Zhang Jianguo, said that “Using the words of the media, it is
for U.S society and the general public to understand him,
in reality he is putting up a show,
there is no way to understand him.
Before the 18th People’s Congress, he wants to use this
publicity to promote himself as the future leader, but this will not have much real influence.”
U.S Columbia University Ph.D in Political Science Li Tianxiao
pointed out that,
the 18th People’s Congress will decide the Communist Party’s
power struggle, and that especially with the Wang Lijun incident,
which is causing a major internal struggle, whether Xi will become
the next leader or whether the CCP will disintegrate altogether,
the U.S needs to keep close watch on the situation.
