Super powers should cooperate for a better world

Xuefei Chen Axelsson

After Iraq War in 2003, I gave up talking about international politics, because I thought the super power broke the international standards and took unilateral action. The world was full of power politics and hegemonism.

With the rising of China, the triangular relations between China, Russia and the United States should be a model for world peace if they can cooperate with each other.

However, the development seems not to develop towards people’s will. The US economy get worse and worse after 2008 dragging the world economy down. The European economy has been even more worse and worsened even more by the refugee issue.

But how come there was refugee issue? Where has the refugees come from?  Here there are two explanations: one is that the United States has tried to support the Arab Spring movement. Most of the European countries also support it. But they don’t understand the color revolution can only bring about chaos at the beginning. These chaotic situation caused a lot of people flowing to European countries.  A lot of them used to be the opposition in their own countries.

For examples, the refugees coming to Sweden are from Somalia, Iraq and Syria in recent two years.

Why Syria? In Syria, the United States supported some opposition organization against the Asad regime.  But the opposition was very weak. Then the Syrian government asked Russia to help to crack down some Islamist terrorist groups who fought against both the government and the opposition.

The latest information we get is that Russia didn’t bomb the terrorist groups, but the opposition or other groups causing a flood of refugees coming to Europe through Turkey.

With the strategy of supporting opposition, the US strategy successfully created these chaotic situation because the sovereign government in those countries couldn’t function properly.

With Russia suports the government, it means the conflict between the US and Russia actually caused the conflict between different groups in the third country.  Thus that country Syria is suffering from all these changes and a lot of people come out of the country hoping to find a peaceful and better life in Europe.

Similarly, the US presence in Asia seems to cause trouble too.  The US claims that they are kind hearted and take good care of some small countries defence by being present in those countries such as South Korea, Japan, the Philippines and other countries. America claimed that they are worried that Asian countries will fight each other and they should take care of those countries because they worry about China which is a big country.

But China as a big developing country has never invaded any country in the world. Its culture has decided that it has been focusing on its own land its own country for a long time.

Now with the development strategy of one belt and one road, China hopes that the surrounding countries will be happy to have a good and strong neighbour to provide good trade with them.  But many people exaggerated China’s power and said China’s rise threats the others.  In fact, China’s rise brings better opportunities for the surrounding countries. China likes to build more infrastructure for surrounding countries so that they can trade with each other.

But no one knows if it shows the weakness of the US or its dominant idea supports its action. It is as if an old person who is relatively weak will really like to manage to do things.  But it is just this kind of presence or support for some small countries that cause problems for China.

If the US, Russia and China can cooperate rather than confront each other or challenge each other, the world will be much better.

South China Sea Islands belong to China: Li

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

STOCKHOLM, May 4(Greenpost)– Overseas Chinese leaders in Sweden Wednesday gathered at the Chinese Embassy in Stockholm to discuss the situation in the South China Sea.

DSC_9412Li Junfeng, Charge D’affair at the Chinese Embassy said at the gathering that he has heard some western reports proposing such questions such as South China Sea Islands are so far away from Chinese mainland, how can that belongs to China?

“The territories and jurisdictions are not decided by how far it is away from the mainland. Hauwaii sits far away from the American mainland, but no one can deny that it belongs to America.  In fact, South China Sea Islands belong to China since ancient times. China is the first to discover, name and develop these islands. Chinese government exerted its sovereign rights over these islands. Chinese government has published the names of these islands in 1935, 1947 and 1983. ”

During the Japanese invasion and occupation of China in the 1930s, the islands were temporarily occupied by the Japanese. But after the Second World War when Japanese was defeated by the Atomic Bombs thrown in by the Americans, China took back these Islands with the observance of the United States and the International Communities. It was well recognised by the International Communities.

There were no disputes before the 1970s. However,  after the 1970s, the Philippines illegally occupied eight small islands through four military actions causing the South China Sea dispute.

In 1999, the Philippines sent a ship to an island there and left there. When the Chinese side went to ask them to leave, the Philippine side said they lost a screw in the ship. They would leave later when they get the ship repaired.  But that was an excuse. Since then they never left.

Now the Philippines claimed that they occupied the island since then. But the Chinese side holds that the Philippines action was illegal. He criticised the Philippines action of illegally occupying some islands.

He also said that China insists on solving the dispute through peaceful negotiations and ASEAN countries should work together for a common prosperity in the region.

“China believes in that saying: Relatives from far away is not as useful as a neighbour which lives nearby.  Let alone China and the Philipines share similar oriental culture. Sooner or later, the friendly relations between the two countries should be resumed, and that should be the right track,”  said Li.

“China has never changed its stance of leaving dispute aside and achieving common development,” said Li.

His stance was supported by the Chinese in Sweden.

DSC_9433James Wang, President of the Chinese Federation of Industry and Commerce in Sweden said South China Sea Islands belonged to China since ancient times. It is hard to believe that other countries claim them.  China has the full right to protect its own territories.

DSC_9437Peiqun Ye, Executive Director of Swedish National Federation of Chinese Associations said as China grows stronger, the dispute will be less. He hopes that in a couple of years, the situation will change for the better.

DSC_9439Liran Yang, former chairwoman of Stockholm Chinese Cultural Association said all the women of the Chinese origin or second generation should exert their influence by giving true explanation of Chinese history and evidence that China owns the South China Islands.

DSC_9429Yuli Wang, Vice President of the Swedish Chinese Federation of Industry and Commerce said he doesn’t rule out the possibility that some people are jealous of China’s develepment over the past years and want to disturb the peaceful environment China enjoys.

Jisheng Wang, honorary Chairman of Swedish Chinese Federation said China has no doubt to hold its bottom line about the South China Sea Islands which belonged to Chinese since ancient times.

“The Philippines has been colonised many times by other invaders, but with China, similar to other parts of China, the Philippines used to pay tribute to the Chinese. It is right not to recognise the Philippines’ unilateral action about the South China Sea Islands,” said Wang.

About 20 Chinese leaders of various associations in Sweden attended the talk and expressed support for China’s stance on the so-called South China Sea issue.

For Chinese it is not an issue, but other countries around the South China Sea began to claim some islands and even occupy them illegally.

DSC_9395Li Junfeng said the Philippines claimed Huangyan Island and other smaller islands belong to them. But the fact is that according to the Paris Treaty signed in 1898, The Washington Treaty signed in 1900, British and American Treaty in 1930, the Philippines’ western border lies in 118 degree in longitude.  And Huangyan and other Islands lie in the west of 118 degree in longitude. After the Philippines got independent, its national law recognizes the relevant treaties about its territories.

In 2013, the Philippines sued China to the International Arbitration Tribunal in the Hague. China accused the Philippines went against their promises of solving the problems through bilateral negotiations.

It is hoped that the current Philippine presidential election will vote out the Aquino government so that the South China Sea issue calms down.

Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Walström said at least the South China Sea area is in peace. In deed, China has actually played a great role in stablizing the Asian situation and bringing prosperity in the region with the focus on  booming economic development.

Many people in China actually think the government was not tough enough in dealing with the dispute. But many wise Chinese drew the lessons of American invasion of Iraq.

It is easy to enter into a war, but it is difficult to withdraw from the war.  “Man can say that they won the war but lost the peace,” said Li.

He said hegemonism doesn’t work because China is still a developing country and China needs a peaceful environment for economic and social development. Some super powers have taken impulse actions and created a lot of enemies for themselves. That is not good for a harmonious world.

China still embraces the idea of building a harmonious world with its neighbours and all the people who love peace.

 

中国驻瑞使馆举办瑞典侨界南海问题座谈会

北欧绿色邮报网报道(记者陈雪霏)--中国驻瑞典使馆4日举办瑞典侨界南海问题座谈会。

DSC_9412中国驻瑞典大使馆临时代办李军峰首先向大家阐述了中国对南海问题的立场。

李军峰说,有些外国朋友对南海问题并不了解,他们只看媒体的渲染,但事实上,南海诸多岛礁自古以来都是属于中国的,这毋庸置疑,尽管它们离菲律宾很近,但其主权是中国的。这在二战结束后是有定论的,也是受国际社会承认的。

关于南海问题,李军峰说,中国的立场一直没有变,一直本着和平谈判,友好磋商的原则来解决。近年来,中国跟越南,菲律宾都达成了双边协议,甚至,还有中菲越多边协议。但是,有些国家单边违背协议,拒不执行。中菲两国领导人签字的一系列双边文件都规定争议要通过直接谈判和平解决,但菲律宾拒绝与中国进行谈判和对话。单方提起国际仲裁。

DSC_9392关于菲律宾提请国际仲裁问题,李军峰说,任何仲裁都应在当事双方同意情况下再提交,但菲律宾事先既未与中国商量,也未征求中国同意。《南海各方行为宣言》规定争议应由直接当事国通过谈判解决,菲方做法违反该规定,让人感觉出尔反尔,另外,提起仲裁的前提是双边谈判已经穷尽,但菲律宾向仲裁庭提交的各项诉求中,没有一项认真与中国谈判过,根本谈不上双边谈判已穷尽。

他说,中国一贯坚持和平发展的道路,中国非常希望有一个和平的发展环境。中方的立场是不参与不承认,因为菲律宾是单方面行动,并没有认真与中国谈判过。

另外,关于美国的所谓航行自由问题,亚太地区民事商船通过都是毫无问题的。问题在于美国的飞机直接贴近中国的海域飞过来,这种行为对中国来说,是一种冒犯。

关于中国在南海的开发问题,这是中国自己的问题,是为国际社会提供公共产品。称“军事化”是毫无根据的。不像越南,菲律宾等国都在机场和边界布置了军事设备和设施。

1999年菲律宾的一辆坦克登陆舰在一个礁岛上停留,中方过去交涉,他们借口说零件坏了,临时停在那里。结果,一直没有离开,现在反而说那个礁岛是他们的了。这种说话不算话的做法让人难以置信。

李军峰说,“远亲不如近邻”,亚洲国家毕竟都是邻居,有类似的文化,早晚还是要睦邻友好。亚洲人民肯定还是希望和平发展的,和平发展依然是主旋律。

李军峰说,中国要营造一个和平的环境,中国希望用和平谈判的方式解决问题。“搁置争议,共同开发”,这个定律一直没有变。

DSC_9433李代办的阐述在侨界引起很大反响。瑞典华人工商联合会会长王建荣表示,南海诸岛自古以来就是中国的领土。中国有权利保护自己的领土。

DSC_9429

王俞力认为中国在南海的行为是自己的事情,别人无权干涉。

DSC_9439瑞京华人协会前会长杨丽然表示,瑞典华人应该以身作则,在各自岗位上积极宣传中国,积极宣传中国的历史,让西方人明白真相。

DSC_9436瑞典华人总会执行主席叶沛群说,听了李代办讲解对南海形势的了解更清晰了,事实上,如果中国更强大,过些年,可能有些争议就没有了,因此,希望中国更强大。

DSC_9425出席座谈会的还有北欧华人协会会长周画,瑞典华人联合会名誉会长王吉生,瑞典华人总会秘书长唐兵,副秘书长伍王令和中欧文化协会会长陈雪霏等近20名侨领代表。

使馆领事部主任郭延航,领事魏双双,付涛和钟舒扬也出席了座谈会。

 

 

从魏则西之死看中国人的心态

陈雪霏

最近发现微信圈有好几篇文章是关于魏则西之死的。然后,又发现很多文章爆料百度,骂百度,然后是官方要调查百度。这些乱象到底是什么关系?

 

早上起来,看到餐桌上有个苹果,想吃,但是又突然想到前两天一个国内游客来瑞典说,现在有人在苹果上打蜡目的是要让苹果看起来亮晶晶的,好看。一想到这儿,一句“X他八辈祖宗”涌到心头,但是,我立即又把它咽下去了。我这是凭白无故地与谁发火呢?肯定是我自己身体没有那么硬朗才容易发火吧。

 

然后,我开始搜索魏则西到底是谁?和莆田系,百度,武警医院都是什么关系。结果,发现魏则西2014年4月检查出滑膜肉瘤,一种恶性软组织肿瘤,五年生存率20%-50%。当时他在西安电子科技大学读大二。2015年8月,21岁的他在知乎上发帖提问:二十一岁癌症晚期,自杀是否是更好的选择?

 

那时候,他做完4次在北京武警二医院的生物免疫疗法,没有达到预期效果。这个疗法曾被他和父母视为救命稻草。原来,他在很多医院看病,医生都实话实说,没有希望。他自己发帖说:“北京,上海,天津,广州的各大肿瘤医院都说没有希望,让我父母再要一个孩子吧。”

 

以下是一段文章的描述:“通过百度搜索,他发现了武警北京总队第二医院的生物免疫疗法。2014年9月至2015年7月,魏则西先后在这里进行了4次生物免疫疗法的治疗。这段治疗,让魏则西感到自己被骗了。他在帖子里说:“百度,当时根本不知道有多么邪恶,医学信息的竞价排名,还有之前血友病吧的事情,应该都明白它是怎么一个东西。可当时不知道啊,在上面第一条就是某武警医院的生物免疫疗法,DC,CIK,就是这些,说的特别好,我爸妈当时就和这家医院联系,没几天就去北京了。”

 

魏则西的病逝让我想起30多年前,我们的系友据说因为骨癌而去世。那时,我们只是觉得很悲痛。但也只能接受事实。30多年后,人们似乎相信只要有钱,有人就什么病都能治,什么问题都能解决。魏则西在各大肿瘤医院都说没有希望的情况下,去相信了网上的宣传。于是怪罪百度。

 

这里我觉得人们的要求现在是越来越高了。首先,魏则西知道,他的病是十有八九治不好的。如果能治好,那绝对是奇迹,治不好是预料之中的。本来去治也没有100%的把握。但是,治疗以后,认定是被骗了。被谁骗了呢?被百度的宣传骗了。产品是哪里的呢,是美国斯坦福的旧设备。

 

提起进口设备,我有两个感想。一个是12年前,在玉泉路医院,7月的北京

非常热。我长了痔疮。医生说,我们刚刚进口了激光设备,可以用激光切除手术切除,就没问题了。这里有两个问题没有考虑到,一个是我是疤痕体质,无论在哪儿,只要有破损就会留疤痕,另一个问题是痔疮的部位神经原特别多,尽管用了麻药,但是,在手术过程中有几根神经没有麻醉好,就让你疼出眼泪来,那感受依然如初,不堪回首。从那以后,我觉得能不手术的一定不要手术,因为那次手术留下了疤痕,而这个疤痕,永久地留在那里,造成我后来经常便秘或者上下不通等问题,如果当时保守治疗,没有疤痕,或许就不会这样总是有问题了。

 

另一个感想是瑞典人自己也很讨厌大机器,动不动就全部检查。当然瑞典还好,尽量不要小病大治。但这里对于国人来说,经常会觉得他们不能随叫随到,也不方便。可是,在国内,病人对医生的要求几近苛刻。一方面要想贿赂医生,給红包,希望医生只对你好一些,另一方面,殊不知,你的红包久而久之,让医生感觉他提手术刀的手就受红包影响了。这是非常不好的。尤其是总想找熟人,结果也有可能小病大治了。

 

人们对医疗资源的不足感到不满。同时,对于过度治疗也应该防止。也是10年前,我和妹妹給妈妈排号挂专家的号,结果等挂了号了,老医生马上问,是公费还是自费?我们说自费。她立即说,那回家去吧!什么意思?公费怎样?她回答说:公费就住院,然后做搭桥手术。那回家去呢?那就吃药在家。最后,我们选择了吃药在家。

 

相信有这种经历的不只我们一家。一方面,医院人满为患,一方面是过度治疗。总之人们的要求高了。但医生也是人,他们也很辛苦,应该理解他们,应该尊重生命的规律。

 

还有一个问题就是百度的问题。早就有人说百度按交钱多少来刊登信息。其实,谷歌也是这样,你交广告费高,它就帮你多露面。但百度的信息量确实太少了。这充分暴露了中文网站的信息量有限。网上信息很多,但有用的信息还是很有限。事实上,我们需要人们大量地往网站上发布有用信息。

 

从这一点看,我们也不得不承认,我们还是有距离的。因此,最好是沉下心来,认真做事,态度好一些,不要一点事总要怪这怪那,不从自己身上找毛病,反而总是怪某个人,某个机构。我觉得大家都需要深呼吸,然后,踏踏实实地做点事情。也不是所有的西方来的东西都是好的。

瑞典乌普萨拉大学生漂流

北欧绿色邮报网报道(记者陈雪霏)--一年一度的乌普萨拉大学生狂欢节30日使这座大学城成为新闻焦点。乌普萨拉的大学生狂欢实际上也是瑞典所有大学的狂欢,但瑞典媒体只选择乌普萨拉和隆德大学,一替一年的进行现场直播。

其中最著名的节目是乘自己设计制作的小船在河里漂流。还有一个活动就是在图书馆前挥他们的白帽。晚上再点篝火。

鏈懡鍚峗鍓湰

河流穿过市中心,兴高采烈的观众沿着河两岸观看,拍照,不亦乐乎。

B18B7918_鍓湰

大学生们不畏艰险,乐在其中,兴奋至极!

B18B7960_鍓湰

在岸上的人们也不闲着,都要拍照。

B18B7873_鍓湰 (1)

这是比较成功的,乘风破浪,美翻!

B18B7894_鍓湰

有的小船尽管好看,但也说翻就翻,肯定哪个地方设计的不合理,不过我们试过了!

IMG_0203_鍓湰

在阳光明媚的天气里,在静静地河面上,百舸争流还是颇为壮观的啊!

B18B7903_鍓湰

哈哈!也进水啦!

漂流完毕,大学生们来到著名的地标性建筑图书馆门前,大学校长讲完话,大家一起挥帽子!这是瑞典的传统。

晚上,再点上篝火,朗诵诗,歌颂春天。今年又赶上瑞典国王70岁大寿,于是朗诵诗以前,也祝贺国王生日快乐!

据乌普萨拉市政官员克里斯蒂安.达尔曼介绍,乌普萨拉是一座人口有21万人的城市。是瑞典的创新城市,环境友好城市。因为这里有两所重要的大学,一所是世界上最古老的大学之一,也是瑞典最古老的大学,乌普萨拉大学,一所是瑞典农业大学。这两所大学的学生有4万多人。加上工作人员,有关的公司等等,如果没有他们,恐怕乌普萨拉的人口将减半。

达尔曼说,乌普萨拉是瑞典增长非常快的城市,主要原因就是她的就业机会多,研发力量强,失业率比较低。创业科研环境好。在这里有有19000多个两三个人的小公司。这里房地产业也发展迅速,因为乌普萨拉离阿兰达机场比较近,所以,吸引很多国际专家和学者。人口的快速增加,带动房地产发展迅速。

达尔曼说,乌普萨拉可以说发展的是知识经济,就是完全靠科研来带动发展,已经没有机器制造之类的传统产业了。这里注重生活质量,尽量为人们创造舒适的生活环境,让人们可以通过公共交通和自行车就解决问题,而不必开车。而大学生漂流也正是一年一度最好玩的一个节日。
