【新唐人2012年8月23日訊】保釣船回香港 受到英雄式歡迎
成功抵達釣魚島宣示主權的香港漁船「啓豐二號」，載著7名保釣人士，8月22號回到香港，大批香港市民和來自大陸的遊客前往歡迎。但是，港府和中共方面卻沒有任何人到場。
下午兩點多，插著中共「五星紅旗」和中華民國「青天白日」國旗的「啓豐二號」，在香港維多利亞港尖沙嘴碼頭靠岸。「啓豐二號」同時還掛著「日本滾出釣魚臺」和「日本必須道歉賠償」等標語。
「香港保釣行動委員會」在碼頭舉行歡迎儀式，很多市民專程帶著香檳及鮮花前往慶祝，人們遠距離見到船只時，時而呼喊，時而鼓掌歡迎。也有人對中共在保釣行動上沒有盡力協助表示不滿。
而大陸民眾則在網上評論說，中共當局對民間的保釣運動的態度，是既警惕防範又想利用操控，就是沒有真心保護國土。
《人民日報》聲稱釣魚島屬於日本
另外，1953年1月和1958年3月，中共喉舌《人民日報》發表的兩篇文章，最近也在網上瘋傳。中共在這兩篇文章中，公開聲稱釣魚島屬於日本。文章引述當時中共外交發言人的說法，所謂「中國絕不放棄對琉球群島主權」的消息，是美國人捏造的謠言。文章還說，中共總理周恩來早在1951年8月的一項聲明中指出，包括琉球群島和小笠原群島等在內的這些島嶼，在過去的任何國際協定中，沒有脫離過日本。這些中共早年出賣釣魚島的言論，在大陸網絡上引起強烈反彈，罵聲一片。很多人要求《人民日報》出面解釋。也有網友表示，原來政府一直在忽悠和糊弄無知的民眾，人們由此也認識了誰才是真正的賣國賊！
輿論：谷案顯示法律面前人不平等
中共法院宣佈對谷開來故意殺人罪判處死緩後，各界的議論一直沒有停息。美國《紐約時報》報導說，這個宣判結果，似乎激起了所有人的憤怒和嘲諷。
報導引述法律觀察者的話指出，谷開來作為一名律師，應該非常清楚她在做甚麼。「她自己策劃犯罪，自己把毒藥灌進海伍德的嘴巴裡，她自己毀滅證據，但是她卻沒有受到應有的懲罰。」
而在大陸網絡上，網友紛紛拿谷開來與刺死兩名城管而被判死刑的瀋陽小商販——夏俊峰，做比較。有人說，「一名律師預謀殺人而被判死緩，一名攤販因為自衛而被死刑。」也有律師質疑說，「為甚麼她只判死緩？難道我們的憲法被篡改為，人們在法律面前不平等嗎？」

Diaoyu Islands Activists Welcomed Back to Hong Kong
On August 22, seven activists went to Diaoyu Islands
to proclaim that their sovereignty be returned to Hong Kong.
Hong Kong people and mainland
tourists flocked to welcome them.
However, the Hong Kong Government and the Chinese
Communist Party (CCP) had no representatives present.
At 2pm, a fishing vessel attached with a five-star red flag
and a flag of the Republic of China arrived in Hong Kong.
The vessel was displaying banners.
“Japan, get out of the Diaoyu Island”.
“Japan must apologize and compensate".
Hong Kong’s Action Committee for Defending
Diaoyu Islands held a welcoming ceremony at the pier.
Local residents carried champagne and flowers to celebrate.
Crowds on the scene shouted and applauded
upon seeing the vessel’s approach.
Some expressed discontent with the CCP
failing to have fully assisted on the issue.
China’s netizens commented on the official attitude
towards the civil campaign in defending the Diaoyu Islands.
The CCP authorities are on guard, but also
want to utilize and manipulate the civil campaign.
The only thing the regime failed to do was truly
protect the homeland, according to the online posts.
People’s Daily: the Diaoyu Islands Belong to Japan
Two articles published in 1953 and 1958 by People’s Daily
have recently been widely circulated on the internet.
Both articles openly claimed that
the Diaoyu Islands belong to Japan.
The articles quoted the then CCP Foreign Ministry
spokesman, saying that alleged news that,
“China never gives up sovereignty over the
Ryukyu Islands" was a rumor fabricated the U.S.
The article also said that back in August 1951,
then CCP Premier Zhou Enlai commented in a statement.
“Isles, including the Ryukyu Islands and the Ogasawara
Islands, had never been disaffiliated from Japan,
according to all international agreements in the past."
The CCP’s historical remarks aroused
wide outcry on the internet in China.
Lots of people demanded
an explanation from People’s Daily.
A netizen said in a post, “the government turned out to
have been fooling the Chinese people all these years."
“And now the public understand who the real traitor is!"
Gu Kailai Case: Inequality Before the Law
Comments continue on Gu Kailai’s suspended death
sentence after being convicted of murder with intent.
The New York Times reported that the CCP court’s
verdict"appears to have prompted anger and cynicism from almost everyone here who paid attention."
The news quoted legal observers, saying that Gu Kailai
is “a trained lawyer, (and) would have known precisely what she was doing."
“She planned the crime herself,
put the poison in his mouth herself,
destroyed the evidence herself
but didn’t turn herself in."
Chinese netizens compared Gu Kailai with Xia Junfeng.
Xia was a street vendor in Shenyang, and was given the
death penalty for killing two urban management officers.
A netizen said, “A lawyer got a suspended
death sentence for deliberate murder.
While a street vendor got death penalty for self-defense."
A lawyer questioned, “Why was she only given reprieve?
Has our Constitution been distorted
to inequality before the law? “
