【禁聞】御用學者發怪論:民主是地方知識

【新唐人2013年05月30日訊】最近,大陸一些官方御用學者頻頻發聲,為中共專政體制辯護。有學者宣稱:中共的信仰是宇宙真理,之後,再有人發文批駁民主理念,聲稱:要將西式民主從普世知識降為地方知識。這一驚人之語,遭到民眾唾棄,也被外界視為討好中共中央的無稽之談。

5月28號,中共喉舌《光明日報》發表復旦大學國際關係與公共事務學院學者蘇長和的文章,內容針對西式民主進行抨擊,並宣稱:「需要將少數西方國家宣揚的民主知識從普世知識降級為地方知識」。

蘇長和的這一說法迅速傳遍網絡,遭到大量網民吐槽,指責他是在為既得利益集團辯護。也有網友指出,蘇長和的思維邏輯混亂。

美國民主大學校長唐柏橋:「這個是奇談怪論,聽起來都很拗口。甚麼叫地方知識?知識就是知識,沒有地方知識,也沒有全球知識。他說的是價值,應該說是一個區域性的價值還是全球性的價值。他本身這個論點就有語病。」

美國民主大學校長唐柏橋談到,全世界目前已經有140多個國家實現民主。

唐柏橋:「聯合國將近200個國家,已經有五分之四的國家實現民主了。這個還不能說成是普世價值的話,那就找不到第二個普世價值的東西了。」

近來,大陸官方學者頻發驚人言論。

5月7號,中共黨史研究室第二研究部副主任齊彪,在《光明日報》發表文章說,習近平強調:「不能否定毛澤東,否則會天下大亂。」

13號,《人民網》轉發中國社科院副院長李慎明的文章,他辯稱:大躍進時期餓死3000萬人是假的,反右期間沒有處死一個右派等。

17號,中國人民大學教授劉小楓更吹噓:「毛澤東是開國國父、文化大革命是人民民主。」

21號,多家官方媒體轉載了中國人民大學教授楊曉青的文章,說「憲政不適合社會主義國家」。

22號,《環球時報》發文聲稱:「憲政與中國《憲法》對立」。同一天,《解放軍報》副總編孫臨平發出狂言:「我們信仰的主義,是宇宙真理。」

對此,外界分析認為,近期大陸左派言論猖獗,反映了中共內部左右兩派在互相較量。但時事評論員藍述不同意這種看法。

時事評論員藍述:「我覺得中共體制內的左右派,在這個問題上不存在任何的較量。因為中共體制內的左派和右派,到目前為止,兩派都沒有走出體制的勇氣,兩派都沒有走出體制。」

藍述指出,中共推出所謂「憲政夢」已有一段時間,但它的憲政夢只是所謂「具有中國特色、有別其它民主國家」的「憲政夢」。

藍述:「在中共控制之下的、在中共體制之內的憲政夢。實際上,說來說去,繞了一大圈回來,那就是維持現有體制不變嘛。」

前中共總書記趙紫陽的智囊姚監復也向《新唐人》表示,這些御用學者是在按照中共中央意圖行事。

前中共總書記趙紫陽智囊 姚監複「我覺得他們是在宣傳貫徹中央的精神、中央文件的精神。『七不講』裡面講了,不要講普世價值。」

5月上旬,大陸網絡曾盛傳中共中央推出「七不講」禁令,要求教師不要與學生討論普世價值、新聞自由、公民社會、公民權利、中共的歷史錯誤、權貴資產階級和司法獨立等議題。這一禁令引起外界關注,擔憂文革再來。

Trumpeter Scholar: Democracy Is Local-Level Knowledge

Recently, the scholars, acting as trumpeters of the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP), have become very active.
They have eulogized the CCP’s dictatorship regime.

One of them has advocated the CCP’s faith as
“the truth of the universe”.
Another has negated democracy, saying that
Western democracy should be downgraded,
that knowledge at a local level is superior
to universal knowledge.
This remark was found offensive by the public,
and was considered absurd.

On May 28, a CCP mouthpiece, the Guangming Daily,
published an article authored by Su Changhe.
Su is vice president of the International Relations School,
Fudan University.
The article attacked the Western notion of democracy.

It said,"Democratic knowledge has been
advocated by a few Western countries.
Now it is necessary to downgrade it in favor of
local-level knowledge, as against universal knowledge."

Su’s advocacy has spread over the internet,
and has met with massive criticism.
Netizens have accused him of
“defending the vested interest group".

(President, Democracy Academy of China) Tang Baiqiao:
““This is sheer fallacy. What’s ‘local-level knowledge’?
Knowledge is knowledge, it is not defined
in terms of local or global.
He may refer to value, a regional value or a global one.
His argument has faulty wording."

Tang Baiqiao says that so far, there are said to be
over 140 democratic countries in the world today.

Tang Baiqiao:"Among nearly 200 countries in the world,
four-fifths have achieved democracy.
This fact itself proves that democracy is a universal value."

In recent years, the CCP trumpeter scholars have
produced some astonishing remarks.

On May 7, Qi Biao, an official in charge of the CCP’s history
research, quoted Xi Jinping in his article in the Guangming Daily.
Xi said,"Mao Zedong cannot be negated,
because that will lead to great chaos in China."

On May 13, the web version of the People’s Daily
printed an article, authored by Li Shenming,
vice president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

Li argued that,"It is a fake notion that over 30 million people
were starved to death in the Great Leap Forward period."
“No rightist was executed during the Anti-rightist Movement."

On May 17, Liu Xiaofeng, professor at the
People’s University of China(PUC), eulogized the CCP.
“Mao Zedong is the founding father of China, and
the Cultural Revolution is a democracy of the people."

On May 21, many official media reprinted an article
authored by Yang Xiaoqing, another PUC professor.
Yang wrote that “Constitutionalism isn’t fit for
socialist countries."

On May 22, the Global Times published an article,
“Constitutionalism is against China’s Constitution."
The same day, Sun Linping, deputy chief editor of
the Liberation Army Daily, exclaimed in his article that:
“The creed of our faith is the truth of the universe."

Outside critics say that recent ravings of
China’s leftists show intense CCP infighting.
But critic Lan Shu views it differently.

Lan Shu:"I don’t think the CCP’s left-wing and
right-wing factions are fighting over the issue.
This is because both forces lack the courage to
break free from the CCP."

Lan Shu indicates that the CCP has openly announced
a “dream of Constitutionalism".
Yet this dream is only “with Chinese characteristics", which
differs greatly from the constitution of democratic countries.

Lan Shu: “It is a Constitutionalist dream under
control or leadership of the CCP.
At bottom, the political system remains unchanged."

Yao Jianfu, a member of ex CCP leader Zhao Ziyang’s
think tank, affirmed to NTD that
these CCP trumpeter scholars have acted
to accommodate the CCP’s wishes.

Yao Jianfu:"I think they’re promoting the main idea of
the CCP central committee’s policy documents.
It required"Seven Taboos", one of them is——
Don’t mention about universal values."

In early May, the CCP central authorities issued
a ban of “Seven Taboos"in higher education.
It banned teachers from mention of the following to
college students:
universal values, press freedom, civil society,
rights of citizens,
the CCP’s historical mistakes,
the privileged elite, and judicial independence.
