【新唐人2015年01月26日訊】中共黨刊《求是》雜誌的官方網站《求是網》,最近發表評論文章稱,抹黑中國正成為當下時尚,一些教師借大學講臺抹黑中國。文章點名批評法學家賀衛方,「利用手中知識權力影響青年人」。對此,賀衛方批評《求是網》的文章是「狹隘無知」。請看報導。
24號的《求是網》刊登了題為《高校宣傳思想工作難在哪裏?》的文章。文章表示,最近中共中央辦公廳和國務院,印發了關於加強高校宣傳工作的《意見》,指出要將高校作為意識形態工作的前沿陣地,抵禦敵對勢力滲透,牢牢掌握高校意識形態工作的領導權、話語權。
除了要求在制度上建立一個標準,確定哪些言論是「越界」的,《求是網》還說,其次加強和改進高校宣傳思想工作不能止於課堂,還應包括微博、微信等社交媒體。
《求是網》還特別點名北大法學教授賀衛方,在微博上大談憲政。
文章最後總結說,要讓日前印發的《意見》不只是一道行政命令,而是要讓它成為教師內心的價值尺規,根除抹黑中國的亂象。
時事評論員陳明慧:「我覺得這個國家走向和平對話、和平轉型的空間越來越小。」
時事評論員陳明慧表示,說明中共對溫和的知識份子也不能容忍了。
賀衛方在個人微博上也回應說:「批評我『大談憲政』,且不說我談得還遠遠不夠,了解一點黨史的就知道,1940年代毛周劉諸位對憲政可謂念茲在茲,難道他們都錯了?動輒說抹黑中國,幾個書生,數條微博,就能抹黑?真正抹黑中國的恰恰是這種打壓言論的行為!」 賀衛方更表示,這種說法「不僅狹隘,更是無知」。
五十四歲的賀衞方是大陸法學界,主張普世價值和憲政法治的代表。
其實,中共官媒近來不斷對大學提出批評。21號的《環球時報》曾刊發文章,表示要反對校園裡的「高級黑」。
去年11月14號,《遼寧日報》整版刊發公開信《老師,請不要這樣講中國》。文章稱,報社在省內外幾大高校中進行了為期兩個多月的調查,抹黑中國的現像在高校普遍存在。
隨後,中國公安大學副教授王守田,曾因所謂的「不當言論」被拘留,王守田也像上海華東政法大學教授張雪忠、北大教授夏業良一樣,被迫離開了大學。
憲政學者陳永苗:「現在輿論上的打擊,實際上,它都是另外一種形式的勳章,一種授勳儀式。打擊了誰、點名點了誰,對他來說都是炒作名氣的機會。」
賀衛方在本月17號作為《南方人物週刊》年度魅力人物的頒獎人,為電影演員王珞丹頒獎。
憲政學者陳永苗指出,現在的情況是,不是中共官媒點了誰的名,誰就完蛋了,民間有民間的解讀,與官媒的宣傳可不一樣。
退休的前兒童新聞工作者於向真撰文指出,「指名道姓批教師,是典型的文革做派。」
也有網友質問,中共控制全國媒體60多年,美化自己60多年,也耗費鉅資在外美化自己,怎麼沒有起作用呢?幾個教師說幾句就把你們嚇壞了?
看來如今中共官媒的宣傳,並不能完全起到它們想達到的目的了。

Professor: Party Mouthpieces Are Ignorant to Criticize Him for Discrediting China in Classes
The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) Qiushi magazine
recently published an article on its website.
The article claimed that, “Discrediting China has become
a trend," and criticized some college scholars
for their “discrediting China" speeches in classes.
The article named legal scholar He Weifang
and artist Chen Danqing, criticizing both for “influencing
young people’s opinions with their authority
in knowledge."
He Weifang consequently responded that Qiushi’s article
was narrow-minded and ignorant.
Let’s look at the report.
On Jan. 27, the Qiushi website released an article titled,
“What are the Difficulties in College Propaganda Work?"
The article said the CCP’s General Office and State Council
recently issued “suggestions" regarding propaganda work
in colleges.
The document said propaganda organs have
to treat colleges as frontlines of ideology work,
such as to “defend against filtration from enemies;"
the party has to firmly hold the authority of “leading"
and “speaking" in ideological fields at colleges.
The article demanded that standards be set to judge
what kind of speeches should not be allowed.
Qiushi further commented that tightening control
over ideology at colleges should not be limited
to the classroom, and needs to be executed on social
networks, such as Weibo and WeChat, as well.
The Qiushi article directly named He Weifang,
professor of law at Peking University, and Chen Danqing,
former professor at Academy of Arts and Design,
Tsinghua University.
He Weifang was criticized for frequently discussing
constitutionalism on Weibo; Chen Danqing was criticized for
“excessively glorifying America" via a WeChat article called,
“Don’t Go to America, a Stupid and Undeveloped Place."
The Qiushi article summarized by saying that the issued
“suggestions" should not be an administrative order only;
they have to be incorporated into lecturers’ values,
such as to eliminate all acts of “discrediting China."
Chen Minghui, political commentator:"Both He Weifang
and Chen Danqing are conscientious scholars with courage
to speak inside the CCP regime.
If they are silenced or suppressed, then I think the regime
leaves little space for peaceful conversations
or political transformation."
Chen Minghui said both aforementioned professors
are real intellectuals with the courage to tell the truth.
If these only remaining national backbones
are under suppression, this suggests that the CCP
has no tolerance even toward moderate intellectuals,
said Chen.
He Weifang had responded Qiushi on Weibo.
“I am criticized for talking too much about constitutionalism,
but indeed I am talking far from enough.
Furthermore, anyone familiar with party history should know
that CCP leaders such as Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai
and Liu Shaoqi always talked about constitutionalism
in the 1940’s.
Are you saying they were all wrong?
Some people like saying “Discrediting China" here and there,
but how can China be discredited by a few scholars
and Weibo messages?
It is your act of suppression over speech
that is bringing shame to our state!"
He Weifang directly commented that Qiushi’s opinion
was “narrow-minded and ignorant".
He Weifang, 54, is a key figure in the promotion of universal
values and constitutionalism among China’s lawyers.
Chen Danqing, 61, is a famous artist who immigrated
to the U.S. 30 years ago.
Chen was once employed by the Academy of Arts and Design
at Tsinghua University.
However, Chen later resigned as he could not tolerate
the CCP’s educational framework.
The fact is that party mouthpieces kept throwing mud
at college scholars and lecturers.
On Jan. 21, Global Times published an article criticizing
the so-called “high-level sarcasms" at colleges.
On Nov. 14 2014, Liaoning Daily published a full-page article
titled “Teachers, Please Do Not Talk About China Like This".
The article claimed that after investigating several
famous universities both inside and outside Liaoning Province
for over 2 months, journalists found that “discrediting China"
speeches are normally seen in college classes.
Following that, Wang Shoutian, associate professor
at People’s Public Security University of China,
was detained for giving “improper speeches".
Wang was later expelled from the university.
Zhang Xuezhong, former professor at the East China
University of Political Science and Law and Xia Yeliang,
former professor at Peking University, experienced
the same situation.
Chen Yongmiao, constitutionalism scholar: “Media attacks
like that have become a medal of honor in China.
Those who were named and criticized, on the other hand,
received an opportunity to become celebrities."
On Jan. 17, He Weifang presented South People Weekly
magazine’s Yearly Attractive Figures award to actress
Wang Luodan.
Chen Danqing had also been given numerous awards
including “The 50 Intellectuals that Influenced China"
and “China’s Top 10 Elite Gentleman".
Chen Yongmiao commented that now is not an era in which
anyone criticized by party mouthpieces would be ruined.
Chinese people have their differing opinions from that
of party propaganda, said Chen.
Yu Xiangzhen, a retired media worker for children,
wrote an article commenting on this issue.
Yu said, “Naming scholars for criticism was typically seen
during the Cultural Revolution."
“As we have seen so many corrupt ‘naked’ officials
and wealthy people moving to U.S. with their money,
how can you slander Professor Chen Danqing
who returned from U.S. to China to teach?
It is absolutely clear who is fooling our people."
Chinese netizens also questioned the CCP for glorifying itself
for more than 60 years by controlling all media in China;
the party also spent a great deal of money doing the same
in foreign countries.
Why does all propaganda fail to work?
Why is the party so frightened simply
by several scholars’ classroom speeches?
It seems that these days the CCP’s propaganda
cannot fully achieve its goal as it did before.
