【新唐人2012年11月2日讯】11月1号,第一批享受免签证待遇的台湾游客将抵达美国。洛杉矶方面表示,会举办盛大的欢迎仪式,还有红地毯的高规格迎接。而在前一天的庆祝酒会上,中华民国总统马英九表示,“中华民国国民”赴美免签证,让台湾人民有尊严。大陆民众对比台湾和中国大陆,很多人认为,大陆邦交国家这么多,却很少有国家给大陆人民免签证待遇,这对于中共当局来说,是一种耻辱。
台湾赴美免签11月1号正式生效,10月31号晚,台湾“外交部”在台北宾馆举行庆祝酒会,中华民国总统马英九表示,今后,“中华民国国民”赴美,从过去要签证的“常态”,变成免签证的“礼遇”,“这说明国家受尊敬、人民就有尊严”。
10月2号,美国宣布给“持有中华民国护照的公民”免签证待遇,至此,台湾成了美国第37个免签证国家。
对照中国大陆拥有170多个邦交国,却只有20多个国家免签证﹔而台湾仅有23个邦交国,却有129个国家给予免签证待遇,是什么原因造成这样的落差﹖
自由撰稿人刘逸明:“首先是两个地方的制度不一样,台湾是民主制度,大陆是独裁专制,另外一点,大陆人的素质和台湾人的素质也相差很远,大陆非法移民倾向,可以说,比台湾非法移民倾向要重的多,这也是很多国家不愿给大陆人免签的一个重要原因。”
自由撰稿人刘逸明还指出,中国人诚信度比较低,如果去了外国很可能一去不回。
刘逸明:“我觉得美国能给台湾免签,而中国大陆邦交国家这么多,却很少给大陆人免签待遇,这实际上对于这个统治者,对于当局是一种耻辱,因为这个制度决定人各方面的品质,实际上说,大陆人的整体素质比较低,归根结底这个责任还在中共统治者。”
博客作者余晓平刊文指出,中国这些年发展得越快,在国际上就越胡来,从免签待遇一目了然。他说,人家对你不过像看一个暴发户一样的眼光。
而提出“亨氏签证受限指数”的“Henley & Partners顾问公司”,研究了不同国家的公民所享有的免签国家数,给出了各国公民享有的国际旅行自由度指数。2012年最新“亨氏签证受限指数”显示:中国的得分为41,排行第92,与尼泊尔和叶门并列,连叙利亚、伊朗都排在中国前面。
北京异议人士李金成:“大陆实行的是法西斯党权独裁暴政,以皇权专制相交构成的这么一个特色管控模式,如果对大陆都免签的话,这些人到美国不一定又犯下多大罪恶,做多少恶事呢。所以对大陆不实行免签这是很正常的。”
中国护照免签问题一直处于尴尬地位,在各大论坛、贴吧的网友讨论区,都能看到网友对这一事件的争论。而网路上更流传着“中国护照被视为全世界最垃圾的护照之一”。
刘逸明:“中国的政府是经常撒谎,太多的弥天大谎,从亩产稻万斤粮到89六四的时候没有死一个学生,它再一个谎言就是说,中国的人权状况是世界上最好的,历史上最好,所以这个统治阶层喜欢撒谎,它就直接导致民众很多人也不诚信,所以国际社会对中国人持不信任态度。”
目前,中国护照免签地有,塞席尔、所罗门、叙利亚、伊拉克等20多个国家,被网民嘲讽,只怕有命去,无命回,多是战乱和霍乱国家。

Taiwanese Enter US Visa-Free
On November 1, the first group of Taiwan tourists to enjoy
visa-free entry will arrive in the United States.
A grand welcoming ceremony will be held in Los Angeles
with a red carpet greeting.
At the inaugural celebration the day before, ROC President
Ma Ying-jeou said a citizen of the Republic of China
can go to the United States visa-free,
and that is the people’s dignity.
Compared with Taiwan, China has diplomatic relations
with so many countries, but very few countries grant visa-free access for people from China.
People think the reason is that the Chinese Communist
authorities are disgraceful.
Visa-free access to United States Taiwanese citizens will take
effect on November 1.
On the night of Oct. 31, Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs
hosted a reception at the Taipei Guest House.
ROC President Ma Ying-jeou said that in the future,
there will be a change for a citizen of the Republic of China going to the United States.
In the past it was normal to go with a visa but now
there is a visa-free courtesy.
“This shows that ROC is respected, and people
have dignity,” he said.
On October 2, the United States announced visa-free
treatment to the citizens of the Republic of China.
So far, Taiwan has become the 37th U.S. visa-free country.
In comparison, China has diplomatic relations with more than
170 countries, but only 20 countries have visa-free treatment.
Taiwan has only 23 diplomatic allies, but 129 countries
offer them visa-free treatment. What causes the difference?
Freelance writer Liu Yiming said, “Firstly, the two have
different systems.
Taiwan has a democratic system, but China has a dictatorship.
Second, the quality of the Chinese is far away
from that of Taiwanese.
There are more illegal immigrants from China
than those from Taiwan.
This is an important reason why many countries
are reluctant to offer visa-free status to people in China."
Freelance writer Liu Yiming also pointed out that the integrity
of the Chinese people is relatively low – if they go to a foreign country, it is likely they will never return (to China).
Liu Yiming said, “The United States gives Taiwan visa-free
treatment.
China has diplomatic relations with many countries,
but few give visa-free treatment to the people from China.
I think this is actually a shame for the ruler, because
the system in China determines people’s quality.
The people from China are low in quality generally, attributed
to the rulers of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).”
The blog writer Yu Xiaoping wrote an article to point out
China had developed quickly these years,
but have brought more mess to the international community,
which can be seen from the visa-free treatment.
He said that others just take China as an upstart.
Henley & Partners consulting firm proposed Heinz visa Index
for visa limitations,
and analyzed number of visa-free countries for citizens of
different countries, and give out international travel freedom index of citizens.
In 2012, Heinz visa Index shows China’s score is 41, ranked
No. 92, the same with Nepal and Yemen, and even Syria, Iran ranked in front of China.
Beijing dissidents Li Jincheng: “In China, it is a tyranny
of a fascist party, together with imperial power.
If they allow visa-free to US, these people may commit more
evil deeds. So it is right not to give visa-free access to China.”
The visa issue has been awkward for Chinese passport holders.
In the major forum, discussion boards,
netizens are debating this issue.
Word spread online that the Chinese passport is regarded
as one of the world’s most useless passports.
Liu Yiming said, “The Chinese government
often makes many big lies.
From the 5,000 kg grain produced in one Chinese mu,
to no students died on June 4, 1989.
Another lie is they created was that China has
the best human rights in the history of the world.
The Chinese authorities like to lie, leading to no integrity
among people, and the international distrust of Chinese.”
Currently, the countries Chinese passport holders can access
visa-free include Seychelles, Solomon, Syria, Iraq, and about 20 more.
Netizens ridicule, if one goes, he/she may not come back,
because most those countries are in war or have outbreaks of cholera.
