【新唐人2012年7月14日讯】中共当局封杀大陆民众微博的消息已不足为奇。但现在，这把箝制言论的大刀竟然挥到了美国驻上海总领事馆的头上，“@美国驻上海总领事馆”的新浪官方微博日前2度被删，消息引起了舆论轰动。
7月12号一早，新浪微博认证的官方微博“@美国驻上海总领事馆”突然被无预警注销。当天下午，微博里出现的另一个新浪账号“@美国驻上海使馆”也再度被删除。
同时，美国驻上海总领事馆发言人史密斯•哈里森（Smith Harrison）的新浪微博账号也被禁。他随即以“Smith Harrison二世”申请了新账号，并痛骂“新浪微博是个流氓”，且重复了四遍。他还写道：“如果一个党派是伟大的，他就不会怕别人反对。”之后这个账号也疑似被禁。
而有趣的是，就在网友们为“@美国驻上海总领事馆”微博“点蜡烛”哀悼时，“@美国驻港总领事馆”率先表态，在微博中发布了中国反美特工电影《冰山上的来客》插曲–《怀念战友》。
这边厢，哀悼同伴。那边厢，网友炸锅。有网友开玩笑，新浪关闭一个微博就像掐死一只蚂蚁，但这次关美国驻上海总领事馆，恐怕要掀起外交纠纷。也有网友质疑，外国驻华大使馆都能给和谐掉！这个政府到底想怎样？而武汉市民秦先生则说，新浪的做法就是一个国际大笑话。
秦先生：“那肯定是大笑话嘛，闹的笑话还少吗？肯定是代表官方在做这个事情。如果对它有不利因素的话，那（它）肯定要删掉。因为什么东西都不能让老百姓知道嘛。”
时事评论员蓝述说，中共十八大在即，在这个敏感时刻，新浪宁愿得罪所有的用户，宁愿让所有的竞争对手看笑话，也要封杀。
时事评论员蓝述：“最近天津蓟县出现大火以后，上海领事馆多报了几条敏感的消息，新浪害怕自己被主子骂。所以它就把上海领事馆的微博给封了。网路本来是促进信息流通的，可是新浪居然搞这种东西。”
“美国驻上海总领事馆”随后通过《腾讯》微博，就《新浪》微博账号12号起被封杀一事发表声明。
声明说，“今天早上我们发现官方的@美国驻上海总领事馆在新浪的微博账号无法运行。我们正在试图搞清楚为什么会发生这样的状况。我们希望可以尽快恢复我们在新浪微博的正常运营。”
在此之前，《纽约时报》经过认证的《新浪》微博账号也被封杀，而在《新浪》微博上搜索“美国驻港总领事馆”、“美国驻华使馆”等，搜索结果也未予显示。
媒体学者焦国标：“你有什么权利这么随意的剥夺别人的言论自由？你的法律依据是什么？它（新浪）只能在它的范围内胡作非为，但媒体的言论和自由它是挡不住的。”
有趣的是，中共党媒《人民日报》12号发表了一篇题为“华盛顿应克制民主说教的冲动”评论文章。蓝述指出，来到中国的美国官员，他们内心的善良和人道本性没有受到中共严重的扭曲。由于中共的经济利益和全球捆绑的很厉害，在一些小事情上他们可能不发表出格言论，但如果有的大事件或者大的社会不公发生时，他们一定会发声的。
蓝述：“这个时候，你就会发现这些官员有意无意的、控制不住自己，他就会冲破中美两国在利益问题的一些规范或潜规则，通过各种形式婉转的把他要说的话讲出来。这个东西是很自然的，因为他是在自由世界长大的人，所以他的价值观，到时候就会反应出来。”
目前，美国国务院以及美国驻华大使馆还没有就有关事件作出评论。

Hot Comments on the Blockade of Microblog of Shanghai U.S. Consulate
It’s very common that the Chinese communist Party(CCP)
regime shuts down Chinese people’s Microblogs,
but now, it extended its control to the Shanghai U.S. consulate.
The official Microblog “@Shanghai US general consulate”
was deleted twice recently, which caused quite a stir.
On the morning of July 12, Sina Microblog confirmed that
the official Microblog of “@Shanghai US general consulate”
was cancelled without any alert.
In the afternoon, another Sina Microblog,
“@Shanghai US embassy” was deleted as well.
At the same time, the Sina Microblog of the spokesman
for Shanghai U.S. general consulate, Smith Harrison, was blocked.
Mr. Smith Harrison applied for another Sina Microblog
“Smith Harrison II” immediately and
complained four times with the words “Sina Microblog is Rogue.”
He wrote, ”If a party is great, it will not afraid of opposition.”
Now, this Microblog account appears to have been banned.
Interestingly, when netizens “lit candles” for the Microblog,
“@Shanghai US general consulate”,
“@Hongkong US general consulate” posted a piece of
music called, “missing comrades” on its Microblog.
This music is the interlude of the Chinese anti-American
movie, “Visitors from the Ice mountain.”
The news sparked a heated discussion among netizens.
Some netizens said that Sina canceling a Microblog is like
strangling an ant,
but in this case, it cancelled the microblog of Shanghai
US general consulate, which may set off a diplomatic dispute.
Some netizens questioned, even a foreign embassy’s account
could be blocked, and questioned the motives of the regime.
Mr. Qin from Wuhan city said, the actions of Sina
are an international joke.
Mr. Qin: “It certainly is a big joke!
How many jokes made!
It must be the government who controls Sina that did this.
If there’s any unfavorable words, CCP will delete them,
because CCP doesn’t want the people know true things.”
Lan Shu, a current affairs commentator, said with the closing
of the 18th National Congress, it is a sensitive period.
Sina even likes to offend all users, and even prefers
all competitors to laugh at it, it will block truthful news.
Lan Shu: “After the Tianjin Jixian fire which happened
recently, Shanghai U.S. consulate reported the sensitive news.
Sina is afraid of its owner to challenge it, then it blocked
the Microblog of Shanghai U.S. consulate.
Internet is a tool that to promote information sharing,
but Sina took this kind of action.”
The Shanghai U.S. general consulate then issued a statement
on Tencent Microblog on July 12 to explain its opinion on its deleted Sina Microblog.
It stated, “This morning, we found that our official Sina
Microblog account ‘@Shanghai US general consulate’ didn’t work.
We are trying to understand the reason.
We hope our Sina Microblog operation can be restored ASAP.”
Prior to this, the Sina Microblog of the New York Times
was deleted.
Now, there’s no result when we search for “@Hong kong US
general consulate”, “@China US embassy”on Sina Microblog.
Jiao Guobiao, a media scholar: “What’s right you have
to grab others’ freedom of expression randomly?
What’s the law you followed?
Sina only can abuse its power within a scope,
it can’t block the freedom of the media.”
It’s a joke that the CCP’s official media, “People’s Daily,”
published a comment article on July 12 entitled,
“Washington should refrain from Impulse to
Preach Democracy.”
Lan Shu pointed out that the goodness and human nature
of the U.S. officials hasn’t been affected by the CCP after they work in China.
However, because CCP bundles economic interests closely
with its political things, the officials may not speak out in small cases.
When a big event or a large social injustice happens
in the society, they will speak out.
Lan Shu: “In this time, you can see the officials couldn’t
control themselves intentionally or unintentionally, to speak out.
Even their words are delivered in different ways
and aren’t strict, but it broke the specifications or unspoken rules of the US-Sino business interests.
This is nature. Because they grew up in a free society,
their world values will reflect that outward sometimes.”
So far, the U.S. State Department and U.S. Embassy in China
haven’t commented on this case.
