【乐活编者注:当地时间2月22日,加拿大众议院投票通过涉疆动议后,加拿大和平与发展交流协会会长胡丕峰先生就此专访了原加拿大布兰登大学(Brandon University)政治系主任Leo Liu刘岳云教授,专访加拿大皇家军事学院、加拿大国防部、加拿大政府的客座教授。】
刘教授你好!2月20日,驻中国加拿大大使丛培武就加保守党在众议院推动涉疆消极动议接受加拿大最大通讯社——加通社专访。2月22日,加拿大众议院投票通过一项保守党提出的动议,认定新疆存在所谓的“种族灭绝”。
我也留意到加拿大总理特鲁多和其他自由党内阁成员缺席了投票。据加拿大广播公司(CBC)22日报道,绝大多数在场众议员仍一口咬定“新疆种族灭绝”存在,投出赞成票。最终投票结果为266票赞成,0票反对,两票弃权。能够看出,特鲁多内阁对于这份由加最大反对党——右翼的保守党提出的动议小心翼翼。对众议院的这项涉及中国新疆问题的动议我们加拿大和平与发展交流协会想听听你的意见。(以下是刘教授的英文专访翻译文英文原件附后)
胡会长你好!
以下是我对诬告中国种族灭绝的几点拙见;
加拿大将中国列为维吾尔族种族灭绝的动议是荒谬的。加拿大这样做是在干涉中国的内政。这违反了国际法。
加拿大不应该挑中国打。加拿大依赖中国出口产品。事实上,中国一直是加拿大第二大和最重要的贸易国。毫无理由地对抗中国是愚蠢的,也违背了加拿大的国家利益。
指责中国进行种族灭绝是诽谤,也是不合法的。加拿大应核查种族灭绝的法律定义。就连近年来一直对中国怀有敌意的美国,也否认中国犯下了维吾尔族大屠杀的说法。此外,国际法和国际社会都没有就种族灭绝的定义达成协商一致意见。
中国的维吾尔族公民在中国接受了同样的,如果不是更好的质量教育和技能培训。从住宿费到生活费用,都由中国政府承担。他们在中国生活得很好、很安全、很有希望,这一点有充分的文件和证据可以证明。
在加拿大,保守党和新民主党错误地指责中国进行了维吾尔族大屠杀。这是一些投机分子的伎俩,他们想要抹黑中国的名声。这些人包括保守党领袖和他在加拿大议会的追随者。这些机会主义政客并没有因为输掉两次选举而责怪自己,而是多年来一直对中国怀有敌意。他们探索仇外情绪以吸引注意力的阴谋注定要失败。
加拿大应该先提供更好的待遇和改善本国人民的生活条件,尤其是土著加拿大人和其他少数民族,比如黑人,然后才有资格批评其他国家,比如中国,他们提供了更好的平等和生活条件。
中国驻加拿大大使的反应是完全正确的。他的坚定立场和通过议会动议对加方诽谤中国的正确谴责,应该得到加中两国人民的支持和掌声。
Hi President Hu,
Here are some of my humble views on the false accusation of China for genocide.
Canada’s motion labelling China for Uyghur genocide is absurd. By doing so, Canada is intervening China’s domestic affairs. This is a violation of International law.
Canada should not pick China for a fight. Canada depends on China to export its products. In fact, China has always been Canada’s second largest and most important trading party. Antagonizing China without cause is foolish and is against the national interest of Canada.
It is both libelous and illegitimate to accuse China of committing genocide. Canada should check the legal definition of genocide. Even the United States, which have been hostile to China in recent years, reject the notion that China has committed Uyghur genocide. Moreover, there is no consensus on the definition of genocide in both the international law and the international community.
Chinese Uyghur citizens have received the same if not better quality education and training for skill jobs in China. The Chinese government has paid all expenses, from their accommodation to their daily needs. There are ample documents and evidence to sustain the fact that they live good, safe and promising lives in China.
In Canada, the Conservative party and the NDP have falsely accusing China for Uyghur genocide. This is nothing but a ploy of some opportunist politicians to tarnish China’s reputation. These people include both the Conservative party leader and his followers in the Canadian parliament. Instead of blaming themselves for their losing two elections, these opportunist politicians have been perpetually been hostile to China over the years. Their plot to explore xenophobia to attract attention is doomed to failure.
Canada should offer better treatments and improve the living conditions of its own people, notably the native Canadians and other minorities such as the black first before it is qualified to criticize other countries such as China that offers better equality and conditions of lives.
The response of the Chinese ambassador to Canada is exactly right. His strong stand and correct condemnation of Canada’s defamation of China through a motion in the parliament, deserves the support and applause of all Canadians, Chinese and non-Chinese alike.
