China or Western?...左右为难



Today I went to international student gathering in Edinburgh 'old,old' library. There I met up some China students and the hottest issues that interests both of us sure the Tibetan issue la.

Unsurprisingly China people support their government to gain a 'proper' solution on the crackdown, I admit that China have to stand strong to against the incident before it spread uncontrollably. However, I am not agree China government disclaims the incident was plotted by Dalai Lama (without any evidence) and not allows any  international media get in to China to do a report. In other hand, I not agree western people just using their own perspective (human right) and culture value apply on China, it create a lot of misunderstanding and the important thing is not fair to China government and people. China has her own value and culture to be considered, but Western people have never tried to understand what the value is. 

And now, I'm facing a problem: China people say I support Western more than China, especially support Dalai Lama; In the other hand, my Western friend say I more like China man who support the China government taken action on Tibet.  OMG,  as my principle I know this is a politic, what I try to do is to understand both culture, value and perspective, I'm not bias or overweight any party, I am high educated person, my view won't be controlled by any single source, I always try to critic issue with macro-perspective; I am not western or eastern, I support the fact and the truth whatever contribute peace and love among people, this is my only principle. 

今天我被邀请出席《国际学生聚会》,认识了几位中国的朋友,当然最可成为我们课题的肯定就是西藏暴动事件了;其实我在前一怔子也结识了一班搞西藏独立的朋友,他们一面倒地支持臧独,评击中国;而我认识的中国朋友当中也相对的一面倒地支持政府,评击西方的‘评击’和达赖喇嘛。当他们同时问我的立场时我说:

1。西方人不因该用西方人的价值观去看中国,不可一味地喊自己的人权;若爱 西藏要先去了解西藏人的文化和价值观,去探讨西藏人究竟真的要如西方人似的争取独立吗?如果连西藏人的文化信仰都不了解,如何协助他们?若说中国破坏了西藏着块圣地,那么西方价值观就污染了西藏人的心灵。

2。中国政府当然要在别人误会的眼光负起责任;若自己在这事件没做错,怕什么让外国记者来采访?你的理由是说外国记者会不客观报道,进不去看,他们自己还会在外面乱猜乱报道,这不是更糟吗?家丑不外扬,但一扬传千里,而且现在是什么时代啦?全球化,无国界和资讯时代,哪里还能用清朝乾隆皇帝时的闭门政策?当然许多人不能好好了解你啦,任人越描越黑!

3。不可一概而论,不是全部西藏人都搞破坏,不是所有中国人都保守,也不是所有西方人都重‘人权’ (美国打伊拉克是人权?)。所以有时要保持一定的理智,而不是噌恨,噌狠解决不了问题,智慧才能解决问题,才能看到问题所在。没有事情是十全十美的。

4。身为知识份子,要知道什么是政治,什么是人权,无论东方西方我们都要先去了解研究才以宏观的角度去批评,去解决问题;我们也要知道什么是政治利益,更要了解其文化背景,只有通过这样的了解,才有机会解决问题,若不反而会制造更多的问题。

就这样西方人说我亲中国,中国人说我亲达赖喇嘛,左右为难!我不亲谁,我这样的小角色其实对整个局势也起不了作用。我最亲的是马来西亚 :p 因为马来西亚是多元种族共存的国家,是一个爱好和平的小小国家,哈哈。。。马来西亚,能!
