【新唐人2011年9月24日讯】中共喉舌媒体《人民日报》旗下的《环球时报》，批评美国驻华大使骆家辉不应以“巧妙手法”干预中国舆论。《环球时报》一时变成《环球施暴》，引来媒体与网民的挞伐。评论人士认为，《环球时报》摆错媒体角色，民众从骆家辉大使身上看到的“廉洁”，被挑动为“干预舆论”，这对中国的官员腐败现象没有建树。而且，中共当局缺乏反思能力，官员更不知民心所向。
《环球时报》9月22号社论，批评媒体把骆家辉每一个行为，都包装成美国官员的廉洁，并把他的“廉洁秀”树立成中国官员行为的镜子。
“中国社会科学院”近代史研究所研究员雷颐表示，《环球时报》把自己的媒体位置搞错了。
雷颐（“中国社会科学院”近代史研究所研究员）：“我来谈这个问题，或者我来写这篇社论，我觉得更重要的是，我作为一个历史学家或者研究社会学者，更重要的是应该分析为什么他的这一举动，引起了国内媒体这么大的轰动效应吧！这还是说大家对‘廉政’有一种期待，如果中国的官场、中国的官员都是这样，恐怕这也只是很平常之举，根本没有人会报导…。”
《环时》说，这片“ 骆家辉热”可能是出于美国使馆“新的使命”，也由于报导的人国际知识匮乏。而“过度美化一个外国驻华大使，尤其是当他在中国的使命“十分复杂”时，是非常不恰当的。”
童大焕（《中国保险报》评论部主编）：“老百姓推崇他也是看的是事实，那你《环球时报》拿一个事实出来，如果他的‘复杂’干预了我们的内政，那你用外交渠道去要求对方召回，你有这个能力吧！”
曾为《中国青年报》编辑、《东方早报》评论专栏作者的童大焕认为，《环球时报》小题大作，把骆家辉大使“轻车简从”的基本生活方式，当作“作秀”。
童大焕：“中国老百姓看到，哇！他们原来是这么廉洁、这么轻车简从，相比一下，我们自己‘三公消费’如此之多，而且还不公布。他自然会比较，这是老百姓的权利啊！只不过是因为骆家辉他有一个华裔的身份，其他的美国大使因为是非华裔身份，大家可能没那么关注，也许他们也是这样做的。《环球时报》这篇文章小题大作指责人家的生活，那不是干预人家的私生活吗?”
《环球时报》还表示：“美国驻华大使应致力于发展中美两国的关系，消除彼此的误解，而不是到中国舆论的内部纠结中积极扮演什么角色，以巧妙的方式干预中国舆论，增加中美之间新的误解和怀疑。”
童大焕：“媒体基本的职责是说出真相，或者是，你只不过在挑动一些所谓的民族主义的情绪？对社会的进步、对政府的透明和廉洁有任何的建树吗？”
《环球时报》这篇社论引发网民和一些媒体人的批评。香港《苹果日报》23号报导，中国（共）官僚不好好检讨自身的种种恶行，反而把矛头指向别人，是不知民心所向，缺乏反思能力。

China’s Global News Criticises Locke’s Lifestyle in China
The Global Times (GT), which operates in China
under the umbrella of the People’s Daily,
a Chinese Communist Party (CCP), mouthpiece,
slammed American ambassador, Gary Locke,
saying he shouldn’t use “clever ways” to influence
public opinion in China.
GT’s comment caused a stir among netizens and various media,
with some commentators saying that GT is playing a wrong role.
The public can see Locke’s probity,
which is in sharp contrast to China’s corrupt officials.
CCP officials lack the ability to self-examine themselves,
and as a result, they do not cater to the needs of the people.
GT published an article on September 22 criticizing Locke’s
every move.
The media spoke of him as a “clean” official and held Locke up
as a mirror for China’s officials.
Academy of Social Sciences Institute professor,
Lei Yi, said that GT places itself in the wrong role.
Lei: “If I had written this article, the important thing for me,
as an historian and sociologist, is to study the reason
why Locke’s manner is causing such a big stir,
which proves that people expecting officials to be “clean.”
If Locke’s personal lifestyle is commonplace among
China’s official, no one would think about reporting on it…”
GT said that “Fever for Locke” is possibly a “new misson”
of the American embassy, with some journalists romanticizing
the situation out of lack of knowledge of foreign diplomacy.
If a foreign ambassador is over-praised, particularly when
he occupies a post in China, things can get rather complicated.
China Insurance newspaper’s chief editor, Tong Dahuan,
commented, saying, “Civilians praise Locke and he is respected.
GT should prove that Locke’s complication interferes
in China’s domestic affairs,
then they will have the evidence to dismiss him through proper
foreign diplomatic channels. If GT has evidence, they should be able to do this, right?”
Former China Youth newspaper editor
and former Oriental Morning Post commentator,
Tong Dahuan, believes that GT is too narrow-minded
for considering Locke’s normal way of life as a “show.”
Tong: “Chinese people see Locke as very clean, wow he is honest,
so plain and natural!
Comparing him to our officials, the “three consumptions”
of CCP officials is everywhere, and they’ve never been publicised.
People naturally compare one person to another;
this is their right.
If Locke didn’t have Chinese roots, unlike most U.S ambassadors,
we Chinese might not be so concerned.
GT made a big fuss about his personal life.
Doesn’t that mean that they are interfering in his private life?”
GT wrote, “Instead of using “clever ways” to interfere
in China’s media, thus fostering new misunderstandings
and suspicions along the way, a U.S. ambassador
should devote himself to improving the relationship between China and the United States,
thereby eliminating misunderstandings rather than playing
a controversy role in Chinese media.”
Tong Dahuan: “Isn’t it one of the basic tenents of the media
to tell the truth, or does it exist to stir up nationalist sentiments?
Shouldn’t it help to develop society, and improve
government transparency and ethics?”
GT’s article was criticised by netizens and some media.
Hong Kong Apple Daily reported on September 23 that
CCP officials didn’t check their devilish behavior,
instead, they pointed fingers at each other.
This shows a lack of understanding on the part of CCP officials,
demonstrating that they lack the ability to self-examine themselves.
This is why they’re out of touch with
Chinese citizens’ needs.
