【禁闻】澳总理访华 关注中国人权

【新唐人2011年4月28日讯】澳大利亚总理吉拉德访华，与中共总理温家宝举行了会
谈，吉拉德表达了澳大利亚对中国人权记录的担忧。她的担忧包括中国的少数民族政
策，宗教自由问题，以及最近中国对人权活动的镇压。不过温家宝暗示，"中国在人权
问题上没有后退"。但遭到民众强烈反弹。

澳总理吉拉德首次以总理身份访华。 4月26号，她与温家宝举行了为时45分钟的谈话。

据了解，吉拉德在和温家宝的会谈结束后对媒体记者表示，除了经贸议题外，她也明确
的向温家宝表达了澳大利亚在中国人权问题上的态度，她说："澳大利亚希望中共不要
在人权问题上开倒车。"但温家宝回应，他不认为中国的人权状况是在倒退。

对于温家宝的答复，澳总理是否感到满意呢？吉拉德表示，自己作为澳大利亚总理，以
适当的方法提出澳方的观点，这点她已经做到了。

《法新社》26号在《澳总理访华提人权 温家宝否认倒退民众驳斥》的报导中，提到了
中国民众的反应，报导说：他们例举了目前非常典型的案例：自茉莉花革命以来，中共
至少抓捕了上百人，并加强对宗教信仰团体打压，艺术家艾未未"失踪"、北京维权律师
金光鸿遭到严重迫害，被送�精神病院等，中共既没有道德底线也没有法律底线，又怎
么会否认人权倒退？

居住在澳大利亚的独立中文笔会秘书长张小刚，向《美国之音》表示，吉拉德提及人权
做的只是表面文章。他说，"这只是一个官式文章而已。"

《美国之音》报导说，就在吉拉德访华前夕，澳大利亚罗伊国际政策研究所4月25号发
布的一项民意调查显示，虽然有75%澳大利亚人认为中国的经济发展对澳大利亚有
利，但却有将近三分之二的受访者表示，如果中国的实力和影响力提升，澳大利亚的利
益未必不会受到伤害。

《澳大利亚人报》23号以"总理呼吁美国提升在亚洲存在感"为题报导说，吉拉德在最近
出访日本，同日本首相菅直人会谈时表示，面对中国崛起，美国提升在亚太地区的政治
参与，对这一地区的安全至关重要。

报导中提到，中国军费连年增长，让周边的日本和韩国都感到"不安"，他们对中国的所
谓"扩张"，非常担心。

《悉尼先驱晨报》22号也以"吉拉德的防御谈话增添中国紧张"为题，报导吉拉德在日本
强调，将继续推动澳日安全防务合作，增强同韩国的关系。报导认为，美国在中国周边
构建安全网，这将增添中国的不安...。

《路透社》发自北京的电稿分析说：吉拉德与中国（共）领导人的会谈目标，凸显了澳
大利亚和其他西方国家面临的尴尬挑战，他们既希望在人权和地区摩擦问题上刺激中
共，同时又渴望培养与中国的贸易关系。澳大利亚想在逢迎和抨击中共之间寻找平
衡，但尤其棘手。

Australian PM Spotlights China's Human Rights

In her visit to China, Australian Premier Julia Gillardspoke with the
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao .about her concerns of China's human rights
record,ethnic minorities issues, religious freedom,and the treatment of
human rights activists.Wen denied China's human rights regression.

Julia Gillard spoke with Wen Jiabao on April 26during her first visit to
China as a Prime Minister.

Gillard said her talks focused on trade relations,as well as human rights
issues."I did have the opportunityto raise with Premier Wen
issuesassociated with Australia's concernswith human rights", Gillard told
reporters."He did indicate his view is China has not takena backward step
on human rights."

When asked if she was satisfiedwith Wen's response, Gillard replied,"What
we do is raise our concerns andI've done that very clearly with Premier Wen
today."

According to AFP's April 26 report, Wen's reponsehas deeply disappointed
the Chinese public.The public questions the human rights situationin China,
pointing to recent cases of human rightsviolation, including the arrest of
Jasmine Rallies'participants, suppression of religious groups,the
disappearance of Ai Weiwei,and the persecution of lawyer Jin Guanghong.

Zhang Xiaogang, Secretary Generalof Independent Chinese PEN Center told
VOAthat he believes Gillard' mentionof human rights was "only superficial
formality".

According to a recent LOWY institute poll,79% of Australians believes
China's economicdevelopment will benefit Australia;yet nearly 2/3 of the
people surveyed worried thatthe rise of China would pose a threat to
Australia.

The Australian reported that during her recent visitto Japan, Gillard told
Japanese Prime MinisterNaoto Kan, it is vital that the U.S. lift its
politicalengagement in the Asia-Pacific regionto promote security in the
face of the rise of China.

Both leaders discussed the "expansion" of China,which has been increasing
its military budgetto the consternation of nearby nations,including Japan
and Korea.

According to Sydney Morning Herald, Gillard"has moved to strengthen defense
ties with Japanand will seek to elevate links with South Korea,adding to
China's unease about new U.S.-anchoredsecurity networks emerging on its
borders."

Reuters notes that Gillard's meetings with Chineseleaders "highlight the
awkward challengesfacing Australia and other Western governments:the desire
to prod Beijing over human rightsand regional friction while nurturing
trade tieswith the world's second biggest economy."
