A planned Washington DC protest in support of Hong Kong activists and
promoting the ‘Chinazi’ flag is being sponsored by at least six
organizations backed by the notoriously shady, US-funded National Endowment
for Democracy (NED).
至少有六個組織,贊助預定的華盛頓特區抗議活動,以支持香港激進分子,並宣傳
“赤納粹”旗幟。這些組織由惡名昭彰的美國國家民主基金會(NED)支持。
Posters for the event circulated online contain an image of the so-called ‘
Chinazi’ flag – an altered version of the Chinese national flag with the
yellow stars arranged to form a swastika and with a hammer and sickle placed
in the center.
網路上流傳的活動海報包含所謂的“赤納粹”(Chinazi) 旗幟的圖像,改編自中國國旗,
其中黃色的星星被安排形成一個納粹標誌,並在中心放置錘子和鐮刀。
Protesters plan to form a human chain encircling the Chinese Embassy in
Washington to protest the “Chinazi regime” and call for an independent Hong
Kong. The #Chinazi hashtag has also become popular with activists on Twitter.
抗議者計劃形成一個人鏈包圍中國駐華盛頓大使館,以抗議“中國政權”,並呼籲建立一
個獨立的香港。 #Chinazi標籤也在Twitter上受到激進分子的歡迎。
The list of event sponsors proves that the anti-China movement in Hong Kong
is backed not only by American politicians, but also by American money –
through US government-funded groups.
活動贊助商名單證明,香港的反華運動不僅得到了美國政客的支持,也得到了美國政府所
資助的團體的支持。
A DC-based organization called Citizen Power Initiatives For China, which
describes itself as a “grassroots movement” dedicated to promoting
democracy in China through “non-violent struggle” and “overseas assistance
” to “influence” Beijing’s policies, appears to be the chief event
organizer.
首要的活動組織者是建立在華盛頓特區的一個名為公民力量for China (Citizen Power
Initiatives For China) 的組織。他們自稱是“草根運動”,致力於通過“非暴力鬥爭
”和“海外援助”來“促進”中國的民主,以“影響”北京的政策。。
Information on the group’s funding is not easily found on its website, but a
search of the NED database shows it received $206,500 from the US-funded
organization between 2015 and 2016.
有關該集團資金來源的信息在其網站上並不容易找到,但搜索美國國家民主基金會數據庫
顯示,它在2015年至2016年期間從美國資助的組織獲得了206,500美元。
The NED, founded in 1983, claims to promote democracy abroad by offering
government grants to civil society groups around the world. In reality, it
has been used mainly as a soft-power vehicle to advance the US foreign policy
and military agenda through sowing chaos in countries targeted for ‘regime
change.’
美國國家民主基金會成立於1983年,聲稱通過向世界各地的民間社會團體提供美國政府補
助,來促進海外民主。實際上,它主要被用作軟實力工具,通過種下混亂使目標國家“政
權交替”的方式,來推進美國的外交政策和軍事議程。
The NED is “explicitly dedicated to meddling in other countries’ affairs,
interfering in elections, toppling democratically elected leaders, and
spreading public relations campaigns to sow chaos against countries that
resist Washington’s agenda,” award-winning journalist Max Blumenthal told
RT last year. Indeed, even one of the NED’s former presidents, Carl
Gershman, has admitted it was created in order to continue the work of the
CIA without the stigma of being attached to the spy agency.
美國國家民主基金會“明確致力於干涉其他國家的事務,干預選舉,推翻民選產生的領導
人,並廣泛進行公關活動,在對抗華盛頓議程的國家內製造混亂,”獲獎記者Max
Blumenthal去年告訴RT。事實上,即使是美國國家民主基金會的前總裁之一Carl
Gershman也承認 ,創建這機構是為了沿續CIA的工作,而又能擺脫間諜機構的汙名。[註
