Why It Matters

黄之锋因民主活动被判十年监禁。美国中期选举后,特朗普政府进入执政末期。

Font size

《世界报》评论写道,中国当局再度判处香港民主派人士黄之锋十年监禁。而这一肆意专横的判决说明了一个问题:当今世界的各类冲突都同争取自由的斗争密切相关。这篇题为《他在捍卫西方,西方却在走向怯弱和堕落》的评论写道:

“2024年11月,黄之锋在香港被判处四年半监禁。这一判决无疑是法治的丑闻。它显示出,中国专制政权是多么的腐朽,也显示出,那些及时指出对华依赖危害性的人,又是多么有先见之明。同时,这一判决也在提醒我们,只有提升经济实力和完善市场框架,我们才能摆脱这样的依赖。

现如今,黄之锋又一次被判重刑,刑期又增加了十年。但这一次,西方世界却表现出了异乎寻常的沉默,就连左翼职业活动家们也没有高调地给中国当局发出抗议信。

而黄之锋和我们并没有什么区别:他也想像我们一样自由地生活。他要捍卫西方,而西方却面临着日渐怯弱和堕落的风险:为旁支末节的小事争执不休,面对原则问题却沉默不语。黄之锋再度提醒我们,当今世界争执的焦点究竟是什么:自由、个人的自由以及反抗专制和独裁的勇气。”

《世界报》的评论指出,黄之锋曾同另一位香港民主派人士邝颂晴为《世界报》撰写专栏文章,向德国读者介绍香港的局势。黄之锋被捕后,邝颂晴曾在一篇文章中写道:争取香港自由的斗争正变得越来越危险,而西方却任由中国为所欲为:

“为自由而战的人们正在被西方所抛弃,乌克兰局势最具有代表性,委内瑞拉、土耳其、伊朗、尤其是中国也同样如此。无论在任何领域,中国都不可能成为西方的伙伴。无论是个人自由和人权标准,还是民主宪政的层面上,中国都是西方的敌人。

我们能从中得到的唯一教训就是,在经济、外交和国防层面上,西方必须变得更加强大,文化层面上也同样如此。像黄之锋这样的人,对西方自由往往有着更加深刻的理解,远远胜过西方体制内那些安于现状、衣食无忧、而又思想懒惰的大多数人。

当年黄之锋接受我采访时曾说过这样的话:‘如果我们的政治家不愿为我们的未来付出努力,那我就必须站在最前线,为自己的未来而奋斗。’黄之锋的事例清楚地表明,公民的身份早已不再取决于社会地位,而是取决于他为获取更多自由而奋斗的意愿,以及他是否愿意为制止社会各层面上自由的丧失而付出努力。这也正是当前德国社会所需要的。

黄之锋,坚持住,你是国家的未来。自由终究会取得胜利。”

对于美国中期选举的结果,德国《明镜周刊》发表评论写道,民主党确实取得了胜利,但不应忘记特朗普的执政期还有八百多天,这位现年八十岁的总统仍有能力让世界与他同归于尽:

“那怎么办呢?我们欧洲人应为特朗普统治的晚期准备好求生手册。如果一厢情愿地认为,最糟糕的时期已经成为过去,显然是一种不负责任的态度。当今世界的流氓们会发现特朗普已经变成‘跛脚鸭’,会认为放手一搏的机会到了,而首当其冲的就是普京。欧洲,尤其是德国,必须要义正词严地告诫这位俄罗斯当权者,乌克兰仍将获得该国自卫所需的一切。

普京最擅长读懂权力的语言。只要普京意识到,特朗普的影响力正在逐渐消失,他主动邀请欧洲人重返谈判桌的意愿就会骤然上升。过去多年以来,欧洲人实际上被排除在谈判席之外。由此看来,特朗普在中期选举中的失败,或许也能为外交努力创造机会。

中国的情形也大同小异,或许习近平主席会得出这样的结论:现在正是吞并台湾的最佳历史窗口。一方面,伊朗战争已经削弱了美国的军事实力。另一方面,特朗普又对习近平这类独裁者表现出了异乎寻常的偏爱。有鉴于此,欧洲必须尽快向北京表明立场:武装侵台需要付出惨痛的代价,欧盟将会大幅限制对华经贸关系。同美国不同的是,欧洲无法以军事手段威慑中国。但我们却有能力让中国经济陷入危机。仅去年一年,中国对欧出口额就高达5590亿欧元。”
