【禁闻】“后会有期”美驻华大使离职

【新唐人2011年5月2日讯】美国驻华大使洪博培(Jon Huntsman)日前离开北京、返回美国华盛顿,正式卸任美国驻华大使一职。洪博培离任后,是否会代表共和党竞选美国下一届总统,备受各界关注。大陆网民则纷纷表示,不会忘记这位特立独行、勇于批评中国人权的大使,并且希望“后会有期”。

洪博培4月28号在美国驻华大使馆的官方微博上,发布了一张与工作人员的合影照,并发表了离任感言。

洪博培在另一条微博上,介绍了一张他站在自己官方肖像旁边的照片。他写道:“现在这张肖像和其他所有前任美国驻华大使的肖像挂在一起。后会有期!”

在此之前,总部设在华盛顿的华南美国商会授予洪博培“2011年度人物”奖,赞扬他杰出的外交成就,认为他是“美国价值”化身的典范。

洪博培在4月6号的一次讲话中,严厉批评中共糟糕的人权记录,并对艾未未、陈光诚等人高度赞扬。这被认为是今年(2011年)美国官员对中国人权问题发表的最尖锐批评。

洪博培说:“美国永远不会停止支持人权,因为我们相信不管在哪里,人的尊严和公正是最基本的抗争。”

美国特使波斯纳在最近的“美中人权对话”结束后表示,中国人权在走下坡路。

前中共总书记赵紫阳秘书鲍彤接受《德国之声》采访时说:

鲍彤(前中共总书记赵紫阳秘书):“我想美国代表对中国人权状况的评价是符合实际情况的,绝对是倒退。中国最近一年来的情况,从刘晓波到谭作人,到艾未未,都可以看出来,中国公民现在所处的情况,侵犯中国公民人权的,不是别人,是中国的党和政府。”

对于中共外交部发言人指责美国“利用人权对话,来干涉中国内政”,鲍彤认为,如果说人权是内政,那么当局就应该按照法律程序来进行。如果内政就是打人、抓人,这个内政是很可怕的,这个国家也是危险的,应该受到谴责。

鲍彤:“不能够用这是中国(共)政府的内政来搪塞,如果说艾未未失踪是中国(共)政府的内政,那就说明:中国(共)政府应该在这个问题上负有责任。”

今年2月,洪博培曾经出现在北京王府井大街的“茉莉花集会”地点,因此被中共视为敏感人物。随后,北京取消了由洪博培主办的多次美中双边交流计划,中共还命令一些省级官员取消同洪博培的会面。

英国《金融时报》报导,美国官员透露,在一再受到中共政府的外交冷落后,美国政府可能会加大中国统治精英阶层,及其家人获得美国签证的难度。

洪博培除了出使中国,也曾担任美国驻新加坡大使、犹他州州长、商务部副助理部长、联邦副贸易代表等职务,经历丰富。他与妻子还收养了一位中国女孩。

目前,还没有人确切知道洪博培提前离任后的具体动向﹔但外界普遍预计,他将争取共和党提名参加下一届总统选举。

《华尔街日报》报导,在洪博培抵达华盛顿时,一个总统竞选团队早已在等待着他。

而洪博培在微博中表示:“后会有期”,江苏网友说:最好带上“自由女神”回来。

U.S. Ambassador: “See You Soon”

US Ambassador to China, Jon Huntsman
ended his term and returned to the USA. Media
spotlighted his potential Republican campaign.
Chinese netizens praised his deeds in China
and said they expect to “see him soon”.

Jon Huntsman uploaded on April 28 a farewell photo
on the embassy site with final words of departure.

On another microblog, he wrote about a picture
of him standing beside his official portrait
that this one was already placed
next to other previous ambassadors.

Jon Huntsman was awarded as “2011 Annual Figure”
for his excellent diplomatic achievements
and was referred to as “US value”
by the Chamber of Commerce in South Washington.

He pointedly criticized Chinese authorities
(Chinese Communist Party, CCP) during his speech
on April 6 for their terrible human rights record,
while praised figures such as Ai Weiwei and
Chen Guangcheng. This is the most acute critique
of human rights from American officials in 2011.

Huntsman: “The US will never stop the support
for human rights, knowing that human rights and
justice are the bottom line shared by all mankind.”

The US envoy Bosiwosi said in the latest US-China
Dialogue that China’s human rights are regressing.

Bao Tong, secretary of former CCP chief secretary,
said in an interview with Deutsche Welle:

“The US ambassador was proven right,
from Liu Xiaobo to Tan Zuoren and Ai Weiwei,
it’s an apparent fact that it is the CCP that violates
China’s human rights throughout.”

Responding to the CCP’s rebuke of US interfering
in China’s internal affairs during the rights dialogue,
Bao said that CCP failed to fulfill its internal duties
by its persecution and illegal detentions,
for which CCP was to blame.

The misuse of internal affairs is an excuse,
given Ai Weiwei’s case,
for which CCP is responsible.

Huntsman was regarded as a sensitive figure by CCP
due to his presence in a February Jasmine rally,
and his US-China exchange programs were canceled.

According to UKs Financial Times, US government
might tighten policies on CCP officials and families
to obtain visas for the USA.

In the past Jon Huntsman had also served
as US ambassador to Singapore, Utah Governor,
Assistant Commerce Secretary and
Deputy Trade Representative.
He and his wife had adopted a Chinese girl as well.

Huntsman’s next move after returning to the US
is unknown, but it is expected that he might be
nominated as a candidate for US president
from the Republican Party.

The Wall Street Journal reported that a group
of the present campaign team
was waiting for him in Washington.

Huntsman wrote in his blog “See you soon”,
to which Jiangxi netizens responded,
“Bring the Statue of Liberty”.
