【新唐人2011年10月10日讯】继上个月叫停第二届“孔子和平奖”之后，中共文化部又在近期声明，停止“孔子世界和平奖”的一切活动。评论指出，中共本来是想要利用孔子的名义“拉大旗扯虎皮”，对抗诺贝尔和平奖，但这种做法使中共不断出丑，当局无奈之下，被迫叫停这类所谓的“和平奖”。
10月6号，中共文化部下属中华社会文化发展基金会，在官网上发布声明说，“孔子世界和平奖”活动并没有立项，也没有向上级有关部门报批，立即停止“孔子世界和平奖”的一切活动。
这也是中共当局近一个月来叫停的第二个以孔子为名目的“和平奖”。上个月，文化部下属的中国乡土艺术协会就曾经宣布叫停第二届“孔子和平奖”，并撤销主办方——中国乡土艺术协会传统文化保护部。
去年（2010年），挪威诺贝尔委员会将诺贝尔和平奖授予了中国在押异议人士，这使中共非常愤怒与难堪。为了对抗诺贝尔和平奖，大陆相关部门设立了“孔子和平奖”，并特意选在诺贝尔和平奖颁奖典礼的前一天颁发。
中国政务评论家张伟国：“它（中共）一开始设立这个奖的真正目地，并不是为了和平，并不是为了传播中国的文化，是为了对抗，以诺贝尔和平奖为代表的世界的普世价值。这种东西出来以后的效果，很显然，跟它们预期的正好相反。大家都把它当作一个笑料。”
首届“孔子和平奖”当时授予了台湾国民党荣誉主席连战，但连战本人并没有前来领奖。
时事评论员章天亮先生：“它颁给连战的话，连战都不来接这个奖的。连战说，不太清楚这个奖的背景是什么。最后，搞了个小女孩来代连战领奖，其实是一件很丢脸的事情。”
《法国国际广播电台》中文网引用中国人民大学社会学系周孝正教授的话说，大陆当局设立所谓“世界和平奖”，是典型的“拉大旗作虎皮”。
时事评论家伍凡对《新唐人》表示，中共从来不尊重孔子，目前的孔子学院等，都是中共盗用孔子的名声，在粉饰自己，在骗人。
中国事物时事评论家伍凡: “借用孔子的东西，到处吹牛皮、说谎，外国人也不相信哪！所以，文化部实在看不下去了，你们这个卖狗皮膏药卖得太离谱了，所以干脆就把你们封杀，叫你们不要玩这个把戏了。因为对内对外，都讲不通嘛，自己不尊重孔子，还要到外面去贩卖孔子，谁能相信你这一套呢？”
前山东大学教授孙文广认为，中共在文化大革命期间“批林批孔”，号称“砸烂孔家店”，现在又想要利用孔子来造势，但因为中共的暴力本性，最后只能是自取其辱。
前山东大学教授孙文广： “这说明，中共当局有一些人，没有自知之明，不知道自己的身份，不知道自己在全世界、在国内给人留下过什么样的印象，也忘了它自己过去怎样使用武力对这个历史，那么最后它只得灰溜溜的取消了这个奖。”
上个月，大陆媒体广泛报导了第二届“孔子和平奖”的评选活动，号称今年（2011年）的候选人还包括现任的俄罗斯总理普京。但中共当局随后叫停了第二届“孔子和平奖”，同时宣布启动另一奖项“孔子世界和平奖”的评选活动。
《纽约时报》报导，自称是“孔子和平奖”创始者的刘浩峰宣称，一些人试图染指这一奖项，于是推出一个“孔子世界和平奖”。
随着叫停“孔子世界和平奖”，这个被民众讥讽为“山寨和平奖”的闹剧也暂时告一段落。但据英国《卫报》在此之前的报导，中共仍然花费巨资在海外创办所谓的“孔子学院”，妄图以此来输出中共的意识形态，并进行统战。

Confucius Peace Prize Cancelled
The second Confucius Peace Prize was cancelled
last month. The Chinese Ministry of Culture has declared
the shutdown of all Confucius World Peace Award’ activities.
Comments said that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
wanted to use the name of Confucius as a ‘flag of tiger skin,’
to compete with the Nobel Peace Prize,
in an attempt to continue fooling the Chinese people.
The CCP stopped this new peace prize in desperation.
On October 6, the Foundation of Social and Cultural
Development in the Chinese Ministry of Culture,
issued a statement on its official website, claiming
the Confucius World Peace Award project
had not received approval from higher authorities,
and had been cancelled.
This is the second peace prize under the name of Confucius
that has been cancelled.
Last month, the local Art Association of the Chinese Ministry
of Culture said it will terminate the 2nd Confucius Peace Prize,
and will force all organizers, like the Association of
Chinese Traditional Culture, etc., to withdraw.
In 2010, the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded
the Nobel Peace Prize to a dissident detained in China,
which was said to have infuriated and embarrassed the CCP.
To counter the Nobel Peace Prize,
the CCP set up the Confucius Peace Prize, and deliberately
issued it on the same day as the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony.
Zhang Weiguo (Political commentator): “It (the CCP)
established this award. The real purpose is not for peace,
and not for spreading Chinese culture, but for counteracting
the universal values represented by the Nobel Peace Prize.
The results are apparently opposite to their expectation.
People regard it as a joke."
The first Confucius Peace Prize was awarded
to the KMT Honorary Chairman Lien Chan in Taiwan,
but Lien did not come to accept the award.
Zhang Tianliang (Political commentator): “It (CCP) awarded
Lien, but Lien would not come to take the award.
Lien said he was not clear on the background of this award.
Finally, a little girl came to accept the award
on behalf of Lien. It was a very embarrassing situation."
Radio France Internationale’s Chinese website
quoted Professor Zhou Xiaozheng
from the Department of Sociology at Renmin University,
as saying that the award which mainland authorities
were trying to establish as the so-called World Peace Award,
was a typical ‘flag of tiger skin.’
Commentator Wu Fan told NTD Television, that the CCP
never respected Confucius. The Confucius Institute,
amongst many other things, has been stolen for the purpose
of whitewashing the CCP and cheating others.
Wu Fan: “It (CCP) borrows Confucius name, boasts with it,
tells lies, and now even foreigners don’t believe it!
Even the Ministry of Culture realized it was too outrageous,
so it just terminated the prize, stopped the trick. This has
neither internal nor external justification. They (CCP) do not
respect Confucius, yet try to use him, who’ll believe them?"
Dr. Sun Wenguang, former professor at Shandong University,
said that during the Cultural Revolution,
the CCP criticized Lin Biao and Confucius,
known as “Smashed Confucianism.”
Now it wants to use Confucius to display power. Many
comments claim that because of CCP’s violent nature,
it is just asking for insult and ridicule.
Sun Wenguang: “This shows that the Chinese authorities
don’t have correct self assessment, don’t know their identity,
don’t know what impression they left on China and the world,
and even forgot how they treated history with a violence.
Finally they had to cancel the award in disgrace."
Last month, mainland media widely reported
on the Confucius Peace Prize,
claiming this year’s candidates include the current
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
But the Chinese authorities halted the Confucius Peace Prize,
and announced the launch of another award,
the Confucius World Peace Award.
The New York Times said Liu Haofeng, claiming to be
the founder of the Confucius Peace Prize,
said some people tried to meddle with this award, so they
introduced the Confucius World Peace Award.
With the halt of the Confucius Peace Award,
CCP’s first World Peace Prize has also come to an end.
According to a report from the UK’s Guardian,
the CCP continues to spend huge sums of money overseas
on the so-called Confucius Institutes in an attempt to output
the CCP ideology, and work on their “united front.”
