奴性

有人指責我只看外媒的報導, 繼而推斷此為洋奴心態, 如此推論, 主席的女兒曾在哈佛讀書, 副總理劉鶴也肄業於此, 不知應否視作洋奴。我在上一篇引述news.com.au的報導, 我只是引述中國駐澳洲大使否認限制澳洲貨進口及雙方政府的講法, 我連結了該篇報導的標題, 讀者自己click入去就可以看到原文, 這是我慣常的做法, 要批評標題的英語, 請去news.com.au留言, 標題不是我的手筆, 英文方面, 我在上一篇只用了manifestly excessive兩字, 是法律有關量刑的慣常用字。我引用該文, 因為Sydney Morning Herald, South China Morning Post, CNN, BBC, 明報, 驟眼看也沒有相關報導。一方面說有限制入口, 另一方面否認, 究竟誰在弄虛作假, 或誰在玩弄文字, 不同人有不同闡釋推斷, 誰都可以隨便下結論。Sydney Morning Herald今天一篇文, 報導別國乘虛而入, 積極爭取搶奪澳洲對華的生意, 趁你病攞你命。原文在此: How other nations are feasting on China's beef with Australia, 我只貼出下面的圖表, 左邊顯示貨物, 中間以澳幣計算生意額, 右邊是競爭對手。有生意做有錢賺, 5眼也單起眼, 各自為國家利益籌謀。

外媒一定反中嗎? 以news.com.au為例, 一貫立場是對中國尖刻批評的, 但對特朗普也充滿揶揄。今天這篇報導卻講得中肯合理: Boycotting Chinese businesses and products will do more harm than good to Australia, 這篇的小標題是"Hitting back against China through boycotts is ‘self-harm’ and has no impact on their economy even if it provides a ‘feel-good moment’ for Australians, experts say."

有澳洲人發起杯葛中國貨, 兩位老外教授批評此行為愚昧, 報導的結尾如此說:

He said in US, the growth of Chinese industry and IT is threatening the competitiveness of American technology – so they have a reason and strategy to impose restrictions.

“About 50 per cent of our export goods in some months are actually going to China and we want to change that and diversify – that is primarily looking for new markets, not closing existing markets,” he said.

“We don’t really have a strategy like the US has in the sense it wants to block China,” he explained, noting Australia’s plan was more to “slowly move away from China”.

“There may be more economic sanctions (against Australia) and they could pop up anywhere and across every industry in some way,” he said.

Mr Mackerras said China was not attempting to subvert Australia’s democracy, but was seeking respect.

He said ironically, many Australians seemed to believe it is China not showing them respect.

“The situation we’ve got to now is that China asks for respect, and Australia hardly notices that, believing it’s China that’s denying us respect,’ he said.

“This has now got to such a low ebb that it is going to take time to repair.”

若批評中共就叫崇洋媚外, 澳洲老外教授批評發起抵制中國貨的澳洲人愚蠢, 他們為中國當間諜嗎? 有人見到外媒就當見到仇人, 就先入為主, 認為一定是反中的, 內容也不看。批評中共就感到像在挖自己的祖墳, 也不去看理據, 立即義憤填膺, 破口大罵, 就算共產黨黨員都可以批評共產黨, 不是黨員的人卻比黨員更為着緊, 豈非奴性作祟, 自薦作網上發言人, 國家要你嗎?
