【禁闻】御用学者发怪论:民主是地方知识

【新唐人2013年05月30日讯】最近,大陆一些官方御用学者频频发声,为中共专政体制辩护。有学者宣称:中共的信仰是宇宙真理,之后,再有人发文批驳民主理念,声称:要将西式民主从普世知识降为地方知识。这一惊人之语,遭到民众唾弃,也被外界视为讨好中共中央的无稽之谈。

5月28号,中共喉舌《光明日报》发表复旦大学国际关系与公共事务学院学者苏长和的文章,内容针对西式民主进行抨击,并宣称:“需要将少数西方国家宣扬的民主知识从普世知识降级为地方知识”。

苏长和的这一说法迅速传遍网络,遭到大量网民吐槽,指责他是在为既得利益集团辩护。也有网友指出,苏长和的思维逻辑混乱。

美国民主大学校长唐柏桥:“这个是奇谈怪论,听起来都很拗口。什么叫地方知识?知识就是知识,没有地方知识,也没有全球知识。他说的是价值,应该说是一个区域性的价值还是全球性的价值。他本身这个论点就有语病。”

美国民主大学校长唐柏桥谈到,全世界目前已经有140多个国家实现民主。

唐柏桥:“联合国将近200个国家,已经有五分之四的国家实现民主了。这个还不能说成是普世价值的话,那就找不到第二个普世价值的东西了。”

近来,大陆官方学者频发惊人言论。

5月7号,中共党史研究室第二研究部副主任齐彪,在《光明日报》发表文章说,习近平强调:“不能否定毛泽东,否则会天下大乱。”

13号,《人民网》转发中国社科院副院长李慎明的文章,他辩称:大跃进时期饿死3000万人是假的,反右期间没有处死一个右派等。

17号,中国人民大学教授刘小枫更吹嘘:“毛泽东是开国国父、文化大革命是人民民主。”

21号,多家官方媒体转载了中国人民大学教授杨晓青的文章,说“宪政不适合社会主义国家”。

22号,《环球时报》发文声称:“宪政与中国《宪法》对立”。同一天,《解放军报》副总编孙临平发出狂言:“我们信仰的主义,是宇宙真理。”

对此,外界分析认为,近期大陆左派言论猖獗,反映了中共内部左右两派在互相较量。但时事评论员蓝述不同意这种看法。

时事评论员蓝述:“我觉得中共体制内的左右派,在这个问题上不存在任何的较量。因为中共体制内的左派和右派,到目前为止,两派都没有走出体制的勇气,两派都没有走出体制。”

蓝述指出,中共推出所谓“宪政梦”已有一段时间,但它的宪政梦只是所谓“具有中国特色、有别其它民主国家”的“宪政梦”。

蓝述:“在中共控制之下的、在中共体制之内的宪政梦。实际上,说来说去,绕了一大圈回来,那就是维持现有体制不变嘛。”

前中共总书记赵紫阳的智囊姚监复也向《新唐人》表示,这些御用学者是在按照中共中央意图行事。

前中共总书记赵紫阳智囊 姚监复“我觉得他们是在宣传贯彻中央的精神、中央文件的精神。‘七不讲’里面讲了,不要讲普世价值。”

5月上旬,大陆网络曾盛传中共中央推出“七不讲”禁令,要求教师不要与学生讨论普世价值、新闻自由、公民社会、公民权利、中共的历史错误、权贵资产阶级和司法独立等议题。这一禁令引起外界关注,担忧文革再来。

Trumpeter Scholar: Democracy Is Local-Level Knowledge

Recently, the scholars, acting as trumpeters of the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP), have become very active.
They have eulogized the CCP’s dictatorship regime.

One of them has advocated the CCP’s faith as
“the truth of the universe”.
Another has negated democracy, saying that
Western democracy should be downgraded,
that knowledge at a local level is superior
to universal knowledge.
This remark was found offensive by the public,
and was considered absurd.

On May 28, a CCP mouthpiece, the Guangming Daily,
published an article authored by Su Changhe.
Su is vice president of the International Relations School,
Fudan University.
The article attacked the Western notion of democracy.

It said,"Democratic knowledge has been
advocated by a few Western countries.
Now it is necessary to downgrade it in favor of
local-level knowledge, as against universal knowledge."

Su’s advocacy has spread over the internet,
and has met with massive criticism.
Netizens have accused him of
“defending the vested interest group".

(President, Democracy Academy of China) Tang Baiqiao:
““This is sheer fallacy. What’s ‘local-level knowledge’?
Knowledge is knowledge, it is not defined
in terms of local or global.
He may refer to value, a regional value or a global one.
His argument has faulty wording."

Tang Baiqiao says that so far, there are said to be
over 140 democratic countries in the world today.

Tang Baiqiao:"Among nearly 200 countries in the world,
four-fifths have achieved democracy.
This fact itself proves that democracy is a universal value."

In recent years, the CCP trumpeter scholars have
produced some astonishing remarks.

On May 7, Qi Biao, an official in charge of the CCP’s history
research, quoted Xi Jinping in his article in the Guangming Daily.
Xi said,"Mao Zedong cannot be negated,
because that will lead to great chaos in China."

On May 13, the web version of the People’s Daily
printed an article, authored by Li Shenming,
vice president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

Li argued that,"It is a fake notion that over 30 million people
were starved to death in the Great Leap Forward period."
“No rightist was executed during the Anti-rightist Movement."

On May 17, Liu Xiaofeng, professor at the
People’s University of China(PUC), eulogized the CCP.
“Mao Zedong is the founding father of China, and
the Cultural Revolution is a democracy of the people."

On May 21, many official media reprinted an article
authored by Yang Xiaoqing, another PUC professor.
Yang wrote that “Constitutionalism isn’t fit for
socialist countries."

On May 22, the Global Times published an article,
“Constitutionalism is against China’s Constitution."
The same day, Sun Linping, deputy chief editor of
the Liberation Army Daily, exclaimed in his article that:
“The creed of our faith is the truth of the universe."

Outside critics say that recent ravings of
China’s leftists show intense CCP infighting.
But critic Lan Shu views it differently.

Lan Shu:"I don’t think the CCP’s left-wing and
right-wing factions are fighting over the issue.
This is because both forces lack the courage to
break free from the CCP."

Lan Shu indicates that the CCP has openly announced
a “dream of Constitutionalism".
Yet this dream is only “with Chinese characteristics", which
differs greatly from the constitution of democratic countries.

Lan Shu: “It is a Constitutionalist dream under
control or leadership of the CCP.
At bottom, the political system remains unchanged."

Yao Jianfu, a member of ex CCP leader Zhao Ziyang’s
think tank, affirmed to NTD that
these CCP trumpeter scholars have acted
to accommodate the CCP’s wishes.

Yao Jianfu:"I think they’re promoting the main idea of
the CCP central committee’s policy documents.
It required"Seven Taboos", one of them is——
Don’t mention about universal values."

In early May, the CCP central authorities issued
a ban of “Seven Taboos"in higher education.
It banned teachers from mention of the following to
college students:
universal values, press freedom, civil society,
rights of citizens,
the CCP’s historical mistakes,
the privileged elite, and judicial independence.
