基尔:在奥巴马后,在中国一个藏族领导人?
华盛顿(法新社)-演员身份活动家李察基尔在周一的讲话中表示,希望中国像美国现在有一个黑人总统一样会有一个藏人领袖。但至关重要的是北京政府严格对待。
基尔,一个佛教徒,在华盛顿,在中国镇压起义导致精神领袖达赖喇嘛逃亡到印度的50周年纪念日前夕,游说美国国会支持西藏。
因敏感的周年纪念日中国部署了军队进入西藏,但基尔说,美国选举奥巴马为总统是对历史以来被压迫人民的一种鼓舞。
30年或20年前,谁会想到会有一个黑人成为美国的总统?事物改变迅速-通常在危机和悲剧中事物变的更快,”基尔对法新社会说。
我可以看到将来某个时候,有可能有一个藏人总理或总统或任何形式的政府职位。这样的话必须讲出来!
达赖喇嘛说,他希望在中共统治下的西藏人民有伟大的自由。北京将他标榜为分裂主义分子并且批评指责海外都普遍承认的获得诺贝尔和平奖的得主。
美国国务卿希拉里上月表示,人权问题不会阻碍中美合作应对经济危机和其他问题-这样的评论让维权积极份子感到震惊。
基尔在希拉里.克林顿听证会上说:“我首先想到的是中国那些勇敢无比的人权、民权、宪权捍卫人士,他们指望获得世界的认可,作为他们活动的一个筹码。”
但基尔,奥巴马和希拉里.克林顿民主党的支持者,表示他相信希拉里.克林顿“只是说错了话然后还没有想出如何改正它。 ”
我希望那件事也与她个人意愿不符,她不是那种妇女或政治家 ”基尔说
西藏政府表示,仅1959年3月和10月之间就有超过87000人因中国镇压起义而死亡。
人权组织说,一年前的达赖喇嘛流亡周年纪念日时北京又平息另一轮的抗议有成百上千的人死亡或下落不明。
他说,在奥巴马就职典礼后将关闭被世人严厉指责批评的关塔那摩湾的“反恐战争”拘留营(关塔那摩监狱)。这样美国也站在了一个更好位置给中国施压。"
“为了美国的好-美国人以及世界其它地方的人们-你必须说出你的立场的, ”基尔说。“在任何情况下这些话必须一遍一遍重复的说。 ”
基尔拒绝接受政治决策者所提出的论据,最好对与中方任何争端保持沉默。
“我认为我们的经济和害怕失去的中国市场是一个“幌子”。我不买帐, ”基尔说。
“中国已向世界经济体系承诺,现在已不能反悔。他们离开我们和欧洲什么也不是”基尔说。
“我认为,相对于中国我们实际上是在一个强有力的地位。”

Gere: After Obama, a Tibetan leader of China?

Richard Gere is a Buddhist and long-time supporter of the exiled Tibetan leader
The Dalai Lama wants greater freedoms for Tibetans under Chinese rule
WASHINGTON (AFP) — Actor-activist Richard Gere voiced hope on Mondaythat China could one day have a Tibetan leader much as the UnitedStates now has a black president, but said it was crucial to be firmwith Beijing.
Gere, a Buddhist, was in Washington to lobby Congress to support Tibeton the eve of the 50th anniversary of China's crushing of an uprisingin which spiritual leader Dalai Lama escaped to India.
China has poured troops into Tibet for the sensitive anniversary butGere said the election of US President Barack Obama should serve as aninspiration for historically oppressed people.
"Thirty years, 20 years ago, who would have thought there could be ablack president of the United States? Things change rapidly -- and it'susually in crisis and tragedy that things change the most," Gere toldAFP.
"I can see a time when there may well be a Tibetan-Chinese primeminister or president or whatever form of government there is then. Butthe words have to be spoken," he said.
The Dalai Lama says he wants greater freedoms for Tibetans underChinese rule. Beijing brands him a separatist and criticizes anyoverseas recognition of the Nobel Peace laureate.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton last month said human rightsconcerns would not impede US-China cooperation on fighting the economiccrisis and other concerns -- remarks that alarmed rights activists.
Gere said on hearing Clinton, "my first thought was to those incrediblycourageous human rights, civil rights and constitutional rights Chinesewho count on the acknowledgement of the world as a leverage point."
But Gere, a supporter of Obama and Clinton's Democratic Party, said hebelieved Clinton "just misspoke and then has not figured out how to fixit."
"I hope that's the case because it's out of character for her also. It's not the kind of woman or politician she is," Gere said.
Tibet's government says that more than 87,000 people died in China'scrackdown of the uprising between March and October of 1959 alone.
Human rights groups say hundreds more died or remain unaccounted for asBeijing put down another round of protests a year ago on theanniversary of the Dalai Lama's flight.
He said the United States was also in a better position to press Chinaafter the inauguration of Obama, who is closing the Guantanamo Bay "waron terror" detention camp which has been roundly criticized worldwide.
"For the good of America -- for Americans as well as the rest of theworld -- you have to say what you stand for," Gere said. "And wordshave to be spoken over and over again in every situation."
Gere rejected the argument made by many policymakers that it is best to keep private any disputes with China.
"I think the economy and our fear of losing the Chinese market is a straw dog. I don't buy it at all," Gere said.
"China has so committed itself to the world economic system that itcan't go back now. They can't function without us and they can'tfunction without Europe," Gere said.
"I think we are actually in a very strong position vis-a-vis China."
