只有真相才能让中国自由 James JY Hsu 许正余    在中国，对腐败、管理不善的官僚机构和不知情、无原则或未完成的政策的批评往往会受到严厉的惩罚。例如，“白纸运动”中的许多抗议者已被当局失踪。 与此同时，世界卫生组织已要求中国提供有关其 COVID-19 情况的数据，而中国政府则选择散布宣传。 1791 年制定的美国宪法第一修正案禁止美国政府剥夺言论、新闻、集会、请愿或宗教自由。200多年过去了，作为世界第二大经济体的中国，仍然缺乏言论自由和新闻自由等。 民有、民治、民享的民主政府会倾听人民的诉求，因为权力来自人民。言论自由对于实现这一目标至关重要。 相反，一个独裁者的专制政府，会毫不犹豫地压制民众的声音，无视民众的关切。 据中国报道，一些接种了三剂 Sinovac Biotech COVID-19 疫苗的人已经死亡，而一些未接种疫苗的人在感染 COVID-19 后幸存下来。 尽管没有统计数据证实其科学价值，但一两剂 Sinovac 疫苗的功效一直被证明在所有年龄组中都远低于 mRNA 疫苗。因此，早期研究称三剂科兴疫苗与mRNA疫苗的功效相匹配，这在科学上是令人费解的。 Sinovac 的灭活疫苗不能针对 SARS-CoV-2 的 Omicron 亚变体提供有效保护，这支持了这样的论点，即此类疫苗可能会将免疫系统转向多个目标，从而损害其对变异病毒的抵抗力。 中方和世卫组织应查清事实，尽快用mRNA疫苗补充中国现有的疫苗，以挽救生命。 正如美国前总统托马斯·杰斐逊所说：“诚实是智慧书中的第一章。” 只有软弱的人才害怕真相。真理使人强大，进而使国家强大。 如果真相不被揭露，社会的弊病和冤屈就无法得到治疗。记者是公众的眼睛。没有新闻自由，社会就很难得到妥善管理，问题就会被掩盖起来，错误的教训就无法吸取。 今年以来，“人雷”一词在中国异见人士的网络上流传。这个令人不安的词最黑暗的含义与活摘器官有关。 去年 10 月，一名 15 岁的高中生胡新宇 (Hu Xinyu) 携带与中国高级官员相同的稀有血型，从他的校园失踪。同时，对最近死于 COVID-19 的中国退休官员高占祥（？占祥）的悼词明确描述了他如何进行了多次器官移植。网上有人质疑这些故事如何反映了中国器官活摘“生意”猖獗的可怕画面。 法律是一个社会的标准运作程序，它从愿望、想法和错误中积累智慧。 危害人类罪必须受到惩罚，法律必须得到执行，以防止它们再次发生。不幸的是，一个专制政府只想掩盖它们并假装“那里没有”。结果，中国的几个严重的人权问题没有得到妥善解决。这是否类似于准备爆炸的高压锅？真相终究会水落石出。 与此同时，通过卫星通信等手段推开中国网络空间“铁幕”，挽救生命、保护人权、推翻专制，变得更加紧迫。只有真相才能让国家自由。 James JY Hsu 是一位退休的物理学教授。 评论将被审核。保持评论与文章相关。包含辱骂和淫秽语言、任何形式的人身攻击或宣传的言论将被删除，并禁止用户使用。最终决定将由台北时报自行决定。 最受欢迎 1个 习近平意识到香港待遇侵蚀了台湾的目标：报告 2个 请愿书敦促美国承认台湾 3个 美国将军警告因台湾问题与中国开战 4个 新的面具规则将公布 5个 分手日期是乐透赢家的幸运数字 你可能还喜欢 只有真相才能让中国自由 2023-01-30 Criticisms of corruption, a poorly managed bureaucracy and uninformed, unprincipled or unaccomplished policy in China are often met with harsh punishments. Many protesters in the “blank paper movement,” for example, have been disappeared by the authorities. Meanwhile, the WHO has asked China to provide data on its COVID-19 situation, with the Chinese government choosing to disseminate propaganda instead. The first amendment of the US Constitution, written in 1791, prohibits the US government from abridging the freedom of speech, press, assembly, petition, or religion. More than 200 years later, China, the world’s second-largest economy, still lacks the freedoms of speech and the press, By James J.Y. Hsu 許正餘 Correcting past memes on Taiwan 2023-01-30 As the People’s Republic of China (PRC) constantly strives to rewrite the Taiwan narrative, it is important to regularly update and correct the stereotypes that the PRC tries to foist on Taiwan and the world. A primary stereotype is that Taiwan has always been a part of China and its corollary that Taiwan has been a part of China since time immemorial. Both are false. Taiwan has always been a part of the vast Austronesian empire, which stretched from Madagascar in the west to Easter Island in the east and from Taiwan in the north to New Zealand in the south. That By Jerome Keating EDITORIAL: US warnings an opportunity 2023-01-31 A memorandum from US Air Mobility Command Commander General Mike Minihan, leaked on social media on Friday, warns of a US military conflict with China over Taiwan as soon as 2025. His is not the first such warning. Minister of National Defense Chiu Kuo-cheng (邱國正) told lawmakers in June 2021 that China might attempt an invasion in 2025, and US Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Mike Gilday in October last year said that an invasion might occur as early as next year. Minihan’s comments, which Agence France-Presse said were confirmed by the Pentagon, present an opening for Taipei to press Washington China’s economy could stall a while 2023-01-31 The Chinese government seems to have fallen back in love with economic growth. As the chaotic exit from its “zero COVID” policy has unfolded — leading to tens of thousands of deaths (at least) — the nation’s leaders have been eager to profess their undying devotion to robust economic recovery. However, lip service alone can get China nowhere. Last month’s Central Economic Work Conference — the annual meeting where the top leadership of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) sets the economic policy agenda for the next year — established growth as the government’s top economic priority for this year.
