东西问丨短评:疫情歧视和偏见几时休?******

  中新社北京1月14日电 题:疫情歧视和偏见几时休?

  作者 崔白露

  近期,中国发布新冠病毒感染乙类乙管总体方案和中外人员往来暂行措施,优化调整疫情防控措施。

  对此,多数国家持欢迎和理解态度。但少数国家罔顾科学事实,针对中国游客采取歧视性入境限制,将疫情问题政治化,给全球团结抗疫蒙上阴影。而给出的理由颇为牵强,或称缺乏信息,或忧新型毒株,但在事实面前经不起推敲。

  首先,中国是否及时与世界分享疫情信息?据统计,中国调整防疫措施后,已在近一个月内同世界卫生组织开展4次技术交流会议,向各国通报最新情况,并持续通过全球流感共享数据库(GISAID)分享病毒基因序列,相关数据与其他国家取自中国旅客的基因组数据一致。疫情三年,中国依法、及时、公开、透明发布疫情信息,与世卫组织开展的技术交流多达60余次。可见,少数国家所谓“缺乏信息”并不属实。

  其次,中国公民会否给他国带来疫情冲击?答案是否定的。当前中国本土流行的优势毒株奥密克戎BA.5.2和BF.7谱系,早在2022年5月和8月已作为主要毒株席卷全球大部分国家,此时再特殊对待这两个亚分支已无必要。世卫组织欧洲区域办事处主任克卢格表示,中国流行的毒株早已出现,不会对当前欧洲疫情造成大的影响;新加坡卫生部长王乙康也称,2022年最后4周,中国入境新加坡的确诊病例不到新总输入病例的5%,远低于一些国家和地区的占比。

  目前,全球奥密克戎亚型变异株超650种,其中在美国流行的最新亚分支XBB.1.5,仅一周时间就使其本土感染比例从约30%飙升至43%,成为美国主导毒株,并在欧洲等地迅速传播。面对全球新威胁,全力应对新变异毒株,才是各国当务之急。

  再次,对于是否存在对华歧视性做法问题,个别国家辩称,对中国旅客落地检测核酸等措施并无歧视,是“依照科学和客观的证据”。但病毒无国界,若真担心输入型病例,应对所有入境旅客一视同仁,或对新变异毒株流行的区域采取适当措施。只针对一国公民的做法,不仅无法阻止病毒传播,反而会加剧散播歧视和偏见。

  许多人开始担忧,这种歧视性的防疫措施或引发西方社会针对亚裔的新一轮种族主义危机。美国一名亚裔作家在《纽约时报》发文指出,美国对中国公民的旅行限制,实际上是在重弹亚洲人是“病态另类”的老调,让美国亚裔再次成为种族主义者针对的“替罪羊”。

  一直以来,少数国家的政客和媒体将疫情政治化、武器化,把病毒作为实施政治操弄的“利刃”,关心疫情为虚,攻击中国为实。当中国调整政策,这些曾极力要求中国“放开”的国家,立刻采行“双标”。如某些国外专家和媒体对中国表现忧心忡忡,却对暴发XBB.1.5的美国宽容大度,称不必对美实施旅行限制;反复提及中国疫情数据,却无视美国政府自2022年10月不再每日公布官方数据、多国早已停止发布感染统计的现实。

  三年来,中国与新冠病毒持续斗争,顶住一次次疫情冲击,最大程度维护人民生命安全、身体健康和经济社会发展,成为全球抗疫合作的中坚力量,为优化调整防控措施创造积极条件。近期,中国因时因势调整政策,多家国际机构看好今年中国经济并将增长预期调高至5%以上,泰国、马来西亚、印度尼西亚、马尔代夫等周边国家期盼中国游客到访,对人员往来持欢迎态度。多数国家都客观、积极地看待中国,并为双方交流创造条件。

  无论是应对疫情反复,还是复苏全球经济,离不开各国同舟共济,守望相助。应多一些尊重科学,少政治操弄,多一些客观公正,少歧视偏见,多一些团结互助,少以邻为壑,作出符合科学事实和公众利益的选择。(完)

中新网评:美国众议长选举“连续剧”暴露美式民主痼疾******

  中新网北京1月9日电(蒋鲤)在15轮投票表决后,美国众议院议长选举这场“连续剧”终于落下帷幕,众议院共和党领袖凯文·麦卡锡最终成功当选第55任美国众议院议长。这是美国国会过去164年来耗时最久的一次议长选举记录,将美国“对抗式民主”的弊端暴露无遗。

  由于两党对立加剧、党派内斗、利益分配不均等因素,众议长选举陷入一场拉锯战。在此次众议长竞选中,美国民主党议员继续抱团,多轮投票中,一票不投麦卡锡,共和党右翼“强硬派”领头的约20人小团体也拒绝投票麦卡锡。

  麦卡锡的当选之路一波三折,除了本人的“政治投机派”角色在国会不受欢迎外,与共和党内部政治分歧关系密切。

  一方面,共和党党内反对者认为,麦卡锡对民主党态度过于软弱,无力对抗民主党控制的参议院和拜登政府,另一方面,因为共和党的多数优势微弱,党内一些影响力较小的派系的政治力量则被放大,有利于他们巩固自己的选票。

  此外,党内反对者也认为,自己的选票没有换取更多利益,希望以此作为筹码换取麦卡锡更大的让步,比如让他们获得众议院重要委员会中的职务。

  作为仅次于美国总统、副总统的政坛三号人物,众议院议长通常由众议院多数党领袖担任,选举几乎没有悬念。然而,麦卡锡此次为当选,不得不做出多个关键让步,其中可能包括恢复一项罢黜议长动议机制,使得众议长的权力被削弱,难以掌控众议院。

  美国有线电视新闻网CNN称,麦卡锡在这场不合时宜的政治勒索中作出让步,这种绥靖政策只会让极端主义势力更加强大。

  这场引发全世界围观的尴尬选举暴露出美国政治存在严重的对立和分化。在权力博弈思维的裹挟下,党派利益凌驾于国家和人民利益之上,美国两党相互拆台,陷入“为反对而反对”的无脑对垒。而即便是一党内,也会因为利益分配问题产生不同的小派系,相互对抗,选票变成了谋利益的工具。

  从国会山骚乱到打破记历史记录的15轮众议长选举,“对抗式民主”让美国政治陷入瓶颈,长期对抗势必会让政客们丧失客观公正的判断能力,其政治阶层是否有能力治理国家也会引发质疑。

  两党之争和党派内斗进一步放大了美国政治体制弊病,美国所谓的“民主”形象,让全世界大跌眼镜。鼓吹以选民利益为先的美式选举,变成了政客们利益置换的游戏,进一步彰显出美国“民主政治”日渐失能,不断极化的党争已使美国政治制度陷入死循环。

  House speaker election reveals deep-rooted problems in U.S. democracy

  (ECNS) -- The Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was elected as the 55th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 ballots. As the most grueling House speaker election in the past 164 years, the election has highlighted the defects of the country’s "confrontational democracy".

  The election once reached a stalemate due to intense partisan strife, inner-party struggle among the Republicans, uneven distribution of interests, and more. Democratic Party members forged a close alliance, refusing to vote for McCarthy, while about 20 Republicans also declined to cast ballots for the GOP leader.

  Except for his unpopular role as a "political speculator" in Congress, McCarthy’s hard-won election can be attributed to turmoil within the Republican Party.

  On the one hand, opponents in the Republican Party believe that the GOP leader's attitude toward the Democrats is too weak to confront the Senate controlled by Democrats and the Biden administration.

  On the other hand, the political power of some less influential factions in the Republican Party has been amplified due to the Party’s weak majority advantage in the House of Representatives, which is conducive to consolidating their ticket warehouses.

  Meanwhile, these opponents believe that their votes failed to win them more benefits, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip for McCarthy's further concessions, such as getting them positions in important House Committees.

  As the third political figure after the President and Vice President of the U.S., the speaker, by tradition, is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives.

  But McCarthy has made many concessions in order to bring the ultra conservatives along, involving what’s known as the “motion to vacate,” a mechanism by which members can force a vote to depose the speaker. The reported concessions will empower individual members at the expense of McCarthy’s sway as speaker.

  CNN thought the concessions he made during this unseemly political shakedown would only make the extremist faction more powerful.

  This embarrassing election, which has drawn global attention, exposed the serious opposition and polarization in American politics. Both Democrats and Republicans put their interests before that of the country and its people, attacking and opposing each other irrationally.

  Besides, different factions arise within a single party and confront each other because of the distribution of interests. Votes have become a tool to win more benefits.

  From Capitol riots to the House Speaker election with record-breaking ballots, "confrontational democracy" has become a bottleneck of American politics. Long-term confrontation will surely impede politicians to think objectively and fairly while their capacity of governing the country will also raise doubts among the public.

  Both parties’ struggle and infighting among the Republicans have further amplified the defects of the American political system, with its "democratic" image shocking the world.

  The U.S.-style election, which advocates putting voters' interests first, has become a game of interest exchange among politicians. In addition, it further demonstrates the malfunction of American "democratic politics" and the constantly polarized party struggle that has trapped the American political system into an infinite cycle.
