Wei Jingsheng Discussing Google and Internet Freedom Issue on Voice of America's TV Program "Pro and Con"

 

 

On February 5, 2010, WEI Jingsheng was invited to appear at Voice of America's "Pro and Con" TV/Radio/Internet Program hosted by Ning Xin.  During the program, he discussed and debated the Google issue with the visiting scholar of American University, Mr. WANG Wenfeng of China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations.  The main subject of the discussion was about if Google and other foreign IT companies should fellow the laws set up by the Chinese Communist government.

 

Mr. Wei pointed out that:

 

1) Under the one party dictatorship of the Chinese Communist Party, the Chinese people and even governmental officials still want to get real and complete information.  Yet, Google's retreat will mean a full-scale retreat of information in China. 

 

2) Whenever the Chinese government was criticized by the international society for its human rights record, it would claim that the international society lack of qualification of criticizes.  However, the criticism of the international society has been one of the important factors to push for the progress of human rights and freedom in China.

 

3) The Chinese Communist Party always claims that people must sacrifice freedom of speech to meet the need of food and clothing.  Yet, these people in the countries with free press and free speech do not really have to sacrifice their freedom for food and clothing, because freedom and material life are not in conflict.

 

4) In regarding the excuse of "if we do not block the information, the other will do it anyway", Mr. Wei pointed out that this is just an excuse lack of moral standard without sound ground.  He said: "You can not say that 'if I do not violate the law, someone else will do so', or 'if I do not steal, there is someone else steal anyway."

 

Finally, Wei Jingsheng emphasized the need for the US Congress to pass the related laws.

魏京生受邀参加美国之音"焦点对话"节目,讨论谷歌等外国公司是否该顺应中国的政治制度及互联网自由等问题

 

 

2010年2月5日,魏京生先生应邀参加美国之音宁馨主持的“焦点对话”节目,与美利坚大学访问学者及中国现代国际关系研究院研究员王文峰辩论谷歌等外国公司是否该顺应中国的政治制度及互联网自由等问题。

 

在节目中,魏先生指出:在中国的一党专制下,中国人民乃至政府官员仍希望得到真正的、全面的信息。谷歌的退步将带来中国信息方面的全面退步。然而,每每中共在人权自由方面受到国际社会的批评,中共就开始声称国际社会没有资格批评。但国际社会的批评正是推动中国进步和改变的一个重要原因。而中共所谓为了吃饱穿暖就必须牺牲人权的说法是站不住脚的,因为世界上有新闻和言论自由的国度里的人们并没有吃穿问题,这两者并不矛盾。魏先生还指出所谓因为有别的企业会做网络封锁、会违反道德准则,就去做的借口也是站不住脚的。他批评了“我不犯法,别人也会犯法。我不去偷东西,别人也会偷东西”的逻辑。

 

最后,魏先生强调了美国国会应通过相关法律的必要性。
