【新唐人2011年9月24日訊】中共喉舌媒體《人民日報》旗下的《環球時報》，批評美國駐華大使駱家輝不應以「巧妙手法」干預中國輿論。《環球時報》一時變成《環球施暴》，引來媒體與網民的撻伐。評論人士認為，《環球時報》擺錯媒體角色，民眾從駱家輝大使身上看到的「廉潔」，被挑動為「干預輿論」，這對中國的官員腐敗現象沒有建樹。而且，中共當局缺乏反思能力，官員更不知民心所向。
《環球時報》9月22號社論，批評媒體把駱家輝每一個行為，都包裝成美國官員的廉潔，並把他的「廉潔秀」樹立成中國官員行為的鏡子。
「中國社會科學院」近代史研究所研究員雷頤表示，《環球時報》把自己的媒體位置搞錯了。
雷頤（「中國社會科學院」近代史研究所研究員）：「我來談這個問題，或者我來寫這篇社論，我覺得更重要的是，我作為一個歷史學家或者研究社會學者，更重要的是應該分析為甚麼他的這一舉動，引起了國內媒體這麼大的轟動效應吧！這還是說大家對『廉政』有一種期待，如果中國的官場、中國的官員都是這樣，恐怕這也只是很平常之舉，根本沒有人會報導…。」
《環時》說，這片「 駱家輝熱」可能是出於美國使館「新的使命」，也由於報導的人國際知識匱乏。而「過度美化一個外國駐華大使，尤其是當他在中國的使命“十分複雜”時，是非常不恰當的。」
童大煥（《中國保險報》評論部主編）：「老百姓推崇他也是看的是事實，那你《環球時報》拿一個事實出來，如果他的『複雜』干預了我們的內政，那你用外交渠道去要求對方召回，你有這個能力吧！」
曾為《中國青年報》編輯、《東方早報》評論專欄作者的童大煥認為，《環球時報》小題大作，把駱家輝大使「輕車簡從」的基本生活方式，當作「作秀」。
童大煥：「中國老百姓看到，哇！他們原來是這麼廉潔、這麼輕車簡從，相比一下，我們自己『三公消費』如此之多，而且還不公布。他自然會比較，這是老百姓的權利啊！只不過是因為駱家輝他有一個華裔的身份，其他的美國大使因為是非華裔身份，大家可能沒那麼關注，也許他們也是這樣做的。《環球時報》這篇文章小題大作指責人家的生活，那不是干預人家的私生活嗎?」
《環球時報》還表示：「美國駐華大使應致力於發展中美兩國的關係，消除彼此的誤解，而不是到中國輿論的內部糾結中積極扮演甚麼角色，以巧妙的方式干預中國輿論，增加中美之間新的誤解和懷疑。」
童大煥：「媒體基本的職責是說出真相，或者是，你只不過在挑動一些所謂的民族主義的情緒？對社會的進步、對政府的透明和廉潔有任何的建樹嗎？」
《環球時報》這篇社論引髮網民和一些媒體人的批評。香港《蘋果日報》23號報導，中國（共）官僚不好好檢討自身的種種惡行，反而把矛頭指向別人，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.
