鞋子扔向温总

中国总理温家宝在剑桥音乐礼堂做演讲时，一位抗议者朝他扔去一只运动鞋。这一幕类似于七周前布什在伊拉克的遭遇。鞋子从距温总至少30英尺处飞过，但保安人员迅速将抗议者带离礼堂。 警方以涉嫌扰乱公共秩序之名逮捕这位男子。目击者描述，该男子是一个留有胡渣的欧洲人，大约二三十岁，操一口外国腔掉的英语。他们说，该男子在温总讲话时吹口哨，使温总停止演讲并注意他。据目击者称，该男子说：“你们怎么可以听他撒谎？”在Sky News电台一段关于此事的录像中，可以看到他大声喊叫的情形。 温先生显得镇定。有些观众说他形容这个抗议者为“卑劣的”。也有人说当他继续向中国的政府大员、剑桥大学的师生们做演讲时，他肯定中英两国的关系不会因此抗议者而受影响。路透社报道，警方的一位发言人拒绝透露抗议者的其他信息。 此次事件发生在温先生为期三天的访英过程的最后一天。此次访英主要是与Gordon Brown会谈，力促两国贸易。 一些人权组织在演讲之前在礼堂外面集会，抗议中国对西藏的政策和其他涉嫌不人道的行为。剑桥官员称被允许进入礼堂的都是经过仔细挑选的，绝大多数是学校里的学生和教授。 剑桥副校长Alison Richard对BBC的记者说，剑桥大学是一个思想交汇的地方，而不是扔鞋子的地方。

西藏起50周年前夕，中方已逮捕81人

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/29/world/asia/29tibet.html?_r=1

Published: January 28, 2009

  西藏临近几年来最敏感的日子前夕，中国官方就已开始一番安全大扫荡，根据官方媒体的报道，已有至少81人捕。

  周三，有藏独分子声称，此次行动虽然被称为对犯罪行为的严厉打击的一部分，但实际上是为了在西藏起义失败50周年纪念日之前恐吓那些藏人们。50年前的失败，迫使藏人的精神领袖达赖喇嘛流亡逃往印度。

  自从去年三月西藏拉萨的流血暴乱，引发了几十年来藏民们最强烈的反抗行为，以及大规模的军事镇压行动，中方便一直在准备预防新的动乱的可能性。

  中方主张西藏历来都是中国领土一部分，而许多藏民都声称，几个世纪以来，喜马拉雅区域（Himalaya region）一直都是独立的。
  周日，官方媒体《西藏日报》在其“中国西藏新闻”的官方网站上刊出报道，在1月18日，拉萨公安部门开展一项针对犯罪行为的严打运动，对居民区、提供互联网服务的咖啡厅、酒吧和出租房等进行了突击检查。
  报道没有具体指出被逮捕者的民族身份。
  “严打”运动是对犯罪行为进行打击，其逮捕程序往往被最简化以使被捕人数达到最大化。尽管这场扫荡针对的是犯罪分子，人们仍然怀疑在西藏与新疆的反政府活动也被关注着。
  《西藏日报》报道，截至周六，政府已经逮捕了51个未明确具体犯罪活动的人，另有30人因抢劫、卖淫和偷窃被捕。报道指出，其中两人的手机里藏有“反动歌曲”。
  拉萨公安局办公室里的一位女职员对记者说，办公职员无权接受媒体采访。周三，记者拨打拉萨政府办公室电话，亦无人回应，此时正值农历新年的七天长假。
  国际西藏运动（International Campaign for Tibet）称，在1959年3月起义的纪念日、同时也是藏历新年到来之前，此次“严打”显然为了进一步恐吓藏人。
  藏民在1959年3月10日发起造反起义，试图将中国人驱逐出去，但这次起义很快就被平定。
  本月，西藏立法机关通过一个法案，规定每年均庆祝纪念该平定事件，并将当天称为“农奴解放日”。

War of words

from:  http://www.economist.com/daily/news/displaystory.cfm?story_id=13005072&source=most_commented

  The exchange rate shift will do little good to the US economy. Accordingly, it is reported domesticaly that Obama phoned Hu to talk about the currency policy, seeking a way to solve the dispute temporarily. 

  You can see the author of this essay is unbiased, basing on the reality and giving a relevant comment.  Economists of this kind are rare. Recently, Li Yining put forward that the focus of economy strategy should be the employment rate, not the so called GDP growth, the latter one preferred by the CCP.

  Wen is travelling  Europe, showing off the confidence of CCP, while toasting that confidence belongs to all Chinese. Why I see the hardship in the circumstances and seek the confidence from my soul? Sigh.

Pope Says Planet Needs to be Saved from Gays and Transsexuals

   Where is the God? Who is the God? How familiar are you with the God? You may answer fluently, but all what you say just bases on yourself, on your feelings, on your faith. Thus, can you show me an substantial proof that would lead me to the God? I just want to talk to him, not to you. Cuz you are not authoritative, there being no qualification you own to take place of the God! How dare you acclaim that what you said is what the God think about? 

   Well, once it turns to something unreachable, such as the God, I won't argue much against it. I don't believe in God, and do never be forced to believe in it. Meanwhile, I promise I won't offend your faith, so please protect my own faith accordingly.

Year of the ox

  I don't know what the ox really stands for, flourishing prediction, similar to bull, or just turbulent one. This essay details the sensitive moments next year for the ruling party. To my interest, the date of June 4th, 20 anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Suppression, I don't know if the authority would be more generous to allow people hold more memorial mass or activities. I know Ding Zilin, famous as so-called Tiananmen Mother, was permitted to take a memorial action for her son ,who was killed during the riot in 1989,  in Tiananmen Square this year, and then what will happen next year? 

   Almost ten years ago, as a junior middle school student, by my teacher I was told that the details of that event may be emitted. But it turned out that my teacher was too naive. However, if the flagrant suppression keeps a secret ahead, the CCP keeps to appear a fool as well.

Russia’s Liberals Lose Their Voice

  I do appreciate Russia's, or even say Putin's, way, in which the government successfully controled the opposition. Not only is the opposition leader subjected to Putin, but also the absolute majority approve of the government. While we are stressing to construct a harmonious society, the strategy we take is to suppress the dissenter, to block any words that offend the ruling party, to prison the activists who pose a danger to the regime. See, what the authoritative Kremlin do to the opposition. At least, the government never shut up the door all the way, if necessary, the opposition given the ground to play some roles in the governmental action. Besides, Putin founded an "imitation" of opposition party Right Cause to people who want to declaim their dissatisfaction.

  The news seen from NYTIMES.COM, a news site which was unavailable during last several days for mainland people due to some flagrant excuses, exposes the politically ideological collision between US and Russia, which you can smell out in the essay.
