中国:斯皮尔伯格并非奥运艺术指导
刘贵今在达尔富尔问题上维护中国立场
中国达尔富尔问题特别代表刘贵今表示,斯皮尔伯格理论上并非北京奥运会开幕式和闭幕式的艺术指导,因此谈不上辞职。
正在英国访问的刘贵今表示,北京奥组委确实曾向斯皮尔伯格发出聘书,但后者并没有在截至日期前签字。
刘贵今指出,这意味着斯皮尔伯格"理论上并不是北京奥运会开闭幕式的艺术顾问",而这一点也曾得到斯皮尔伯格发言人的证实。
刘贵今在伦敦再度强调,将达尔富尔问题与奥运会挂钩是没有道理的。
他在接受BBC中国事务编辑陈时荣采访时,还反驳了有关中国产武器造成苏丹内战加剧的说法。
刘贵今表示,根据2006年的数据,中国向苏丹出售的军火仅占苏丹进口武器总数的8%。
军火问题
著名导演斯皮尔伯格惹怒中国?
他说,目前世界上有7个国家向苏丹出口军火,同时苏丹本身也是仅次于南非和埃及的非洲第三大常规军火生产国。
他说:"即使中国停止向苏丹出口武器,也还是不会解决苏丹的军火问题。"
刘贵今还引美国国会2007年9月发表的一份报告称,美国、俄罗斯和英国是对苏丹等发展中国家出售军火的最大卖家。
近一年多来,国际社会对于中国在苏丹问题上的角色批评日益强烈。
刘贵今坚持中国目前积极参与苏丹问题的政策与中国一贯的"不干扰别国内政"的外交原则并不矛盾。
维和部队
他说,作为联合国安理会常任理事国,联合国希望中国能够协助找到长期解决达尔富尔问题的方案。
他还表示,中国在寻求解决达尔富尔问题方案的过程中维持尊重苏丹主权和领土完整的立场。
刘贵今离开英国后还将前往苏丹和乍得,他透露他在苏丹期间会建议苏丹当局配合联合国和欧盟向达尔富尔地区派遣维和部队的行动。
去年7月31日,联合国安理会通过颇具争议的1769号决议,规定在达尔富尔部署维和部队需事先得到苏丹政府的许可。
当时中国刚好轮值担任联合国安理会的主席国。

云儿 施导声明原文,供参考 2008-02-22 16:09:04 [点击:55]
开头三句话,简单意译如下:
“经过慎重考虑,我决定正式宣布,不参与北京奥运开幕和闭幕式艺术顾问的任何事务。”
“一年前,北京奥运组委会给了我合同书,但我一直没有签字,就因为考虑到有一天我会选择退出。在这一年里,我反复敦促中国政府,运用其独有的影响力,给苏丹和达富尔带来和平安宁。blah,blah,blah....”
所以,对于阿共指责他没有签字不是顾问,他根本没有必要反驳:他的声明书已经说明了一切。我觉得,阿共拿这个来discredit他,大约是想骗蹁国内人,欺负他们不读原文。
STATEMENT FROM STEVEN SPIELBERG
REGARDING BEIJING OLYMPIC GAMES AND DARFUR
FEBRUARY 12, 2008
After careful consideration, I have decided to formally announce the end of my involvement as one of the overseas artistic advisors to the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games.
In anticipation that this day might one day come, I left unsigned the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games contract presented to me nearly a year ago. Since that time, I have made repeated efforts to encourage the Chinese government to use its unique influence to bring safety and stability to the Darfur region of Sudan. Although some progress has been made along the way, most notably, the passage of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1769, the situation in Darfur continues to worsen and the violence continues to accelerate.
With this in mind, I find that my conscience will not allow me to continue with business as usual. At this point, my time and energy must be spent not on Olympic ceremonies, but on doing all I can to help bring an end to the unspeakable crimes against humanity that continue to be committed in Darfur. Sudan's government bares the bulk of the responsibility for these on-going crimes but the international community, and particularly China, should be doing more to end the continuing human suffering there. China's economic, military and diplomatic ties to the government of Sudan continue to provide it with the opportunity and obligation to press for change. The situation has never been more precarious – and while China's representatives have conveyed to me that they are working to end the terrible tragedy in Darfur, the grim realities of the suffering continue unabated.
This has been a very difficult decision for me, as I have cherished the relationships with my Chinese counterparts, in particular, the noted director Zhang Yimou, who is a close personal friend. I have learned a great deal from working with him and all the other creative artists along the way. There is little that is more rewarding than to collaborate with those who bring vision and imagination to a challenging artistic task. And I greatly appreciated the spirit in which we worked together - a spirit that embodied genuine friendship and respect.
For me, the Olympic Games represent an ideal of brotherhood designed to bridge cultural and political divides. I am committed to building bridges between peoples and I saw, and continue to see, the Beijing Games as an opportunity to help ease some of the tensions in the world.
China has much to offer the world and I have no doubt that its international contributions will grow in the years ahead. With growing influence, however, also comes growing responsibilities. As China welcomes the world to Beijing for the 2008 Olympic Games, I hope to be among those in attendance; and it is also my great hope that, with renewed and intensified efforts from China, there will be peace and security in Darfur at last.
