【禁闻】英国骚乱与中国群体抗暴有何不同

【新唐人2011年8月15日讯】英国持续一周的街头暴力活动与暴徒抢劫事件，已经逐渐
得到控制，然而中共官方媒体对伦敦街头骚乱事件的反应，却显得反常的兴奋与活跃。
相比大陆频频发生的民众群体抗暴事件，英国的骚乱有什么不同呢？让我们一起来看一
下国际媒体和评论人士的分析。

接连多日的伦敦骚乱，令北京媒体喜出望外，争相发表代表官方立场的评论文章，质疑
西方民主制度的成效、伦敦奥运的安全，进而嘲弄英国人过往评论中国事务，甚至将伦
敦之夏说成是阿拉伯之春的重演。

香港《苹果日报》评论指出，中共媒体幸灾乐祸，是中共�伟光症�的表现，也混淆了
社会骚乱的管治问题与政制问题。

英国上周发生的骚乱，最初是由于伦敦警方枪杀了一名黑帮分子引发三百人的街头抗
议，后来在网路上被恶意"煽动"和"怂恿"，演变成骚乱分子哄抢商店，疯狂抢劫和纵火
行凶等暴力活动，至今造成5人丧生。

据报导，骚乱的参与者主要是24岁以下的年轻人。在此之前，英国对于未成年人的犯罪
处罚都很轻。青少年犯罪一般只是备案记录、口头批评和家长教育，从而助长了犯罪。

据民调显示，42%的英国民众认为暴动是由犯罪份子介入引发的。英国副首相克莱格称
这些暴力和盗窃活动是"趁火打劫"，"完全不能接受的"。内政大臣特蕾莎．梅则谴责骚
乱是"纯粹的犯罪活动"。

时政评论员陈志飞："因为从事情整个过程来看，政府以及警察在追踪一个毒品贩
子，那么这是完全合乎政府执行权的，而且是为社会治安和整个道德维护尽一份力
量，尽政府应该尽的责任，所以说肇事者用什么现在工作很难找，福利计划被卡这种藉
口，来做这种打砸抢的行为，我觉得在民主社会，在他们的各种自由的权利被充分保证
的情况下，这是不可接受的，这完全都是藉口。

评论人士指出，英国政府处理紧急措施来自民主的程序法则，由于错估情势的严重
性，致使骚乱一度扩大升级。英国首相卡梅伦8月11号坦承，伦敦警方在骚乱爆发之初
判断失误，将骚乱当做"公共秩序"问题，而不是"犯罪"。

相比没有明确的政治主张的伦敦街头打砸抢的犯罪活动，�阿拉伯之春�主要在推翻现
有的贪腐政权，正如�黎巴嫩之春�网站所说:�我们的革命可不包括洗劫自己居住的
社区，砸毁自动提款机和商店。�

再看看中国内地近年频发的骚乱，导火索往往是公安、城管等执法人员的滥权，所引发
的警民冲突，或是官商勾结之下的暴力拆迁招致冲突，或是官二代、富二代欺压百姓触
犯众怒。

如最近湖南长沙县的万人抗暴，民众因抗议当局在人口稠密的生活区建立高危垃圾焚烧
场，带头抵制的村民被抓，近万村民到当地政府及派出所要求放人，遭到警方殴打，愤
怒的村民打砸派出所部分物品，并掀翻车辆，双方发生大规模流血冲突。

中国过渡政府总统伍凡：�当然了这次英国也出了坦克、装甲车，可是他没有动武，一
直没有动武，可拿中共来对比，维权运动，镇压维权运动的时候，他们什么武器都用
了，又是打杀抢，什么都有，所以这样来对比，一个独裁专制国家和西方民主国家，怎
么样对待这个动乱的事情，处理的方针、原则、以及措施是很不相同，以及媒体报导也
不相同。�

中共长期对国内民众采取钳制言论，武力镇压等高压手段"维稳"。但《苹果日报》的评
论还指出，爆发针对政府的茉莉花革命，显然都不是靠封锁互联网，靠管制推特、脸
书、微博，靠管制手机通讯，可以解决的。

文章进一步表示，中共混淆阿拉伯之春与伦敦之夏，因而否定民主和法治，只会失去制
约官员贪腐以减少引发骚乱的机会。

British riots V.S. Chinese uprisings

A semblance of normality has returned to the streets of UKafter a week of
rioting and looting.But the response from the Chinese Communist Party's
(CCP)media towards this activity was filled with unusual
excitement.Compared with frequent group uprisings in China,are the British
riots different?

Several days of riots in London have madeBeijing's media outlets
overjoyed.They competed with one another to publish criticismson behalf of
the CCP government.They questioned the effectiveness of Western
democracyand the security of the Olympic Games in London.They mocked the
past UK commentaries on China's affairs.Furthermore, they said the London
summer is the repeatof the "Arab spring".

Hong Kong's Apple Daily pointed out that

CCP media's schadenfreude came from the CCP'sself-description of "great,
glorious and correct."Also, they have confused the issue of governance of
socialunrest with political system issues.

The trigger of the British riots was the police shooting ofa 29-year-old
man in an operation to control illegal firearms,which led to a 300-person
protest.

The peaceful protest was maliciously incited on the Internet,and turned
into rioting, looting and setting fires on streets.Five people died in
these riots.

It is reported that most rioters are people under 24 years old.Prior to
this, the British penalties of juveniles were very light.Usually, juveniles
only had their crimes recorded and criticized.The light punishments have
contributed to more crimes.

According to a poll, 42% British are blaming criminalsfor the
disturbances.British deputy Prime Minister Clegg said that

it was "needless opportunistic theft and violence,""completely
unacceptable".And Home Secretary Theresa May condemnedthe riots as "pure
criminality"

Current affairs commentator Chen Zhifei:"If we look at the entirety of the
event,the government and the police were chasing a drug dealer,and it was
totally in line with government's executive power.The government
contributed to maintaining social securityand overall morality of the
society.The government was doing what it should do.

If rioters use excuses such as jobs are hard to find,and the stop on
welfare plans to do smash-and-grab activities,I think, in a democratic
society,where all kinds of freedom are fully guaranteed,it is unacceptable
and they are totally excuses. "

Some commentators said that the British governmentresponded with emergency
measures,according to democratic rules of procedure.

By wrongly estimating the severity, the riots aggravated.The British Prime
Minister Cameron confessed on August 11that London police misjudged the
riots asissues of "public order" instead of criminality.

Compared to pure criminality on the streets,which did not have any clear
political purpose,the Arab Spring aims at overthrowing corrupt regimes.

As website Lebanon Spring stated, "Our revolutions do notinclude robbing
our communities, smashing ATMs and stores."

The frequent uprisings in Mainland China in recent yearsbetween police and
people are triggeredeither by abuse of power of police and city
inspectors,or by violent house demolitions in official-merchant
collusion,or by public anger due to oppressive behaviorsof second
generation officials and the rich.

For example, recently there was tens of thousands of peopleuprising in
Changsha, Hunan Province.People protested against establishing high-risk
wasteincineration plants in a densely populated area.The organizers were
arrested. Nearly 10,000 people went tolocal government and police stations
demanding their release.They were beaten by police, and angry villagers
smashedthings in the police station and overturned vehicles.A large-scale
bloodshed broke out between the two sides.

China interim government president Wu Fan:Of course, the UK deployed tanks
and armored vehicles.However, they never fired. We can compare it with the
CCP.When they suppressed rights movements,they used all kinds of
weapons.They beat, killed and robbed people.So we compare an autocratic
country to Western democraticcountries, on how they handle riots.The
guidelines, principles and measurementsare different, so are media reports.

To maintain stability, the CCP controls people's speech andsuppresses them
violently in a long term.Apple Daily commented that obviously,if Jasmine
Revolution breaks out,it is impossible to resolve it by blocking internet,
by controllingtwitter, Facebook, micro-blogs or cell phone communications.

The article revealed further that, as the CCP tried to confusethe Arab
Spring with the London Summer,so as to deny on democracy and the rule of
law,

This will only result in losing control of the corruption ofofficials and
in losing the chance of curbing uprisings.
