ENGAGING MORE EFFECTIVELY WITH CHINA
Remarks by Hon. David Kilgour, J.D.
南郭点评：戴维正确地指出：“如果中国放弃马克思列宁主义而采纳法治原则，自由媒体和具中国特色的由全体人民选举并为全体人民谋福利的民主政府，那么在20世纪属于美国而19世纪属于英国意义上，21世纪将可能属于中国人民。中国人民有足够能力，决心，自由企业，知识分子，人口，文化，自尊和政治地理位置实现该目标”。戴维是加拿大前检察官外交官国会议员，也是法轮功学员人体器官被活体盗卖案主调查人之一；他是个极富正义感，人道精神的国际著名政治家，他数十年如一日关注全球人权事业，对全世界的人权迫害事件极为关注，对非洲达富尔种族灭绝，津巴布韦，缅甸军事专制政府的暴行进行了不懈揭露批判。
在本文中，戴维严厉批评了中共当局一系列荒唐至极的政策与罪过，在张之《毛泽东鲜为人知的故事》书中及哈里代之“毛的画象和他的体仍在占据天安门广场，而中共当局仍坚称其是毛的继承人，并坚持毛思想”文中充分证明毛是对中国人民最坏最残暴的暴君，在1950年初，至少300百万人被枪杀，1957年反右时超过30万（官方数字是56万，而档案解密数字据称是400余万包括中右）知识分子因批评中共而被捕，1959至1961年大跃进期间三千万民死，文革期间至少50万人非正常死亡另一整代人的教育权被彻底剥夺，1989年企图消灭民主运动，1999年试图消灭法轮功，近年来严厉打击记者，人权律师，家庭教会。。。
亦揭露了中共与达富尔，津巴布韦，缅甸当局勾结的真相，中共国在国际刑事法院正在审理的达富尔种族屠杀罪案主犯Bashir案中已牵连其中。正所谓物以类聚，人以群分，中共当局与国际上臭名昭著的专制暴政臭味相投，在本文中多有披露。
2008年7月25日
Until quite recently, perhaps like you, I allowed my respect and
affection for the people of China to mute criticism of the current
Hu-Wen government. No doubt, I rationalized this position, especially
during visits to China as Canadian Secretary of State for
Asia-Pacific, by saying that at least it was not like the regime of
Mao Tse-tung. When apologists for the party-state in China insisted
that the situation for a growing part of the population is getting
better, I was too willing to overlook ongoing bad governance, official
violence, growing social inequalities, widespread corruption and
nepotism, and terrible injustices still being done across China.
The Chinese people want the same things as all of us, including
education, to be safe and secure, good jobs in a sound economy, and a
healthy natural environment. Living standards have improved in the
flourishing East coast and other urban areas, but at a substantial
cost. Many families continue to be exploited by the party-state and
domestic industrial firms, often owned by or contracted for
manufacturing to multinationals, which operate today across China
often like 19th century robber barons. This explains partly why the
prices of consumer products 'made in China' seem so low—the
externalities are borne by workers and their families and the natural
environment.
My talk today is divided into three parts: the Matas-Kilgour study,
some thoughts on the upcoming Beijing Olympic Games and how joint
action on trade laws by China's trading partners could favourably
affect the overall situation.
1- Matas-Kilgour report
David Matas, an international human rights lawyer in Canada, and I
last year concluded our independent investigation about allegations of
alarming abuses. We found to our deep and ongoing concern that since
2001 the government in China and its agencies have killed thousands of
Falun Gong practitioners, without any form of prior trial, and then
sold their vital organs for large sums of money, often to 'organ
tourists' from wealthy countries (Our report is available at
www.organharvestinvestigation.net ).We amassed a substantial body of
evidence and became convinced beyond any doubt that this crime against
humanity has occurred and is still happening.
Neither of us is a Falun Gong practitioner, but our own experience
with Falun Gong in the numerous countries we have visited, seeking to
bring this crime to a halt through public awareness, has been
overwhelmingly positive. Falun Gong practitioners attempt to live
their core principles of "truth, compassion and forbearance." They are
persecuted in only one of the 80 or so countries in which they live
and are good citizens in all.
Matas and I have interviewed a number of Falun Gong practitioners sent
to forced labour camps since 1999, who managed later to leave both the
camps and China itself. They told us of working in appalling
conditions for up to sixteen hours daily with no pay and little food
and many sleeping in the same room. They made export products, ranging
from garments to chopsticks to Christmas decorations for multinational
companies. This, of course, constitutes both corporate
irresponsibility and violations of World Trade Organization (WTO)
rules.
The labour camps, operating across China since the 1950s, are outside
the legal system and allow Party members to send anyone to them for up
to four years with neither hearing nor appeal. All that is needed is
to get an obedient police officer to sign an order of committal. The
camps are remarkably similar to one's in Stalin's Russia and Hitler's
Germany.
The propaganda phase, begun in mid-1999 against a then estimated
70-100 million Falun Gong practitioners across China, demonized,
vilified and dehumanized them in Party-controlled media. Many Chinese
were thus persuaded to think of the community as irrational. It
recalls a similar media campaign unleashed by the regime in Rwanda
against its minority Tutsi community prior to the genocide there in
1994. Manfred Nowak, the former UN Rapporteur on Torture, concluded
after a visit to China in 2005 that Falun Gong comprised two-thirds of
the alleged victims of torture, with Uyghurs the next largest at 11
per cent.
The Chinese Medical Association quite recently reached an agreement
with the World Medical Association that 'organ tourists' can no longer
obtain transplants in China. Whether this is anything more than public
relations, intended to benefit the Beijing Olympics, remains to be
seen. Will organs seized from Falun Gong practitioners now go to
wealthy Chinese patients instead, with the commerce and homicides thus
continuing in the same volumes?
These deaths would not be occurring if the Chinese people enjoyed the
rule of law and their government believed in the intrinsic importance
of each one of them. Human lives across the country appear to have no
more value to the Party than does health care for disfavoured hundreds
of millions of citizens, or the well-being of Buddhist monks in Tibet.
In my judgement, it is the toxic combination of totalitarian
governance and 'anything is permitted' economics that allows this form
of governance to persist.
2- Beijing Olympics
A number of the world's most brutal 'thugocracies' have fallen under
the government of China's influence during its attempts to control as
much as possible of the earth's natural resources. I'll mention only
Sudan and Zimbabwe as representative cases, but I'd ask you to reflect
on the state of human dignity in Tibet, Burma, Xinjiang (the Uyghur
homeland) and across China to decide if you think an Olympiad should
be held in Beijing this summer.
Contrast the party-state's promises on human rights and media freedom
made to convince the IOC that it should host the Games with each
reported new human rights abuse committed in the name of 'stability',
which means preserving the Party's monopoly on power.
In Sudan's Darfur state, since April, 2003, 300, 000- 400,000 African
civilians have been murdered by bombs, bullets or burning directed by
the Bashir military government in Khartoum, or died of directly
related causes, such as starvation and disease. The government of
China continues to assist Bashir in his ongoing genocide, including,
financing and supplying arms in exchange for taking most of Sudan's
oil production at cut rate prices.
Only last week, the BBC broadcasted an investigation of a batch of
weapons sold to Sudan in 2005, including trucks that carried
anti-aircraft guns. It showed pictures of plates on trucks with
post-embargo dates – an accusation the Chinese government denied.
Since the slaughter began, China's government has used the threat of
its veto in the UN Security Council to block effective UN action
