主题：【文摘】中国处死阿克毛 英媒叫嚣对中使用“炮舰外交” -- 九庆

据12月30日出版的《环球时报》报道　29日早些时候，引发中英外交摩擦的英国毒贩阿克毛在新疆被执行死刑，英方对中国的舆论攻击随即达到高潮。英国BBC等媒体突出宣扬中国处死了一名“被认为患有精神病的英籍犯人”，......更刺耳的指责来自英国《每日电讯报》网站，该报编辑皮策尔29日撰文警告中国“必须宽恕阿克毛”，“否则将面临严重后果”。皮策尔称，英国政府必须“对中国野蛮的司法施加影响”，“我们已经很久没有使用过舰炮外交，但如果中国执意处死阿克毛，欧盟必须用最强烈的言辞谴责中国，并且对中国实施贸易制裁，只有那样才对中国有杀伤力，直至中国的司法符合欧盟的评判标准”。

......

We are long past gunboat diplomacy. But the EU, if it is to mean anything on the world stage, must condemn the Chinese government in the strongest possible terms and impose trade sanctions that are significant and hurtful, until China brings its legislature into line with European criminal sentencing.

......

I doubt the EU has the capability to impose any consequences that the Chinese would take seriously. That’s a reflection both of the high bar for what the Chinese take seriously and the low resolve of the EU to take a concerted decision to stand up to China. But then, given that the current US President was unable to keep his commitment to meet with the Dalai Lama at the White House for fear of offending our Chinese creditors, human rights in China seems to be a low-priority topic these days.

As much as I think the sentence is very harsh for the crime unfortunately he committed the offense in China where he knew the laws are extremely harsh. If our government can have Gary McKinnon extradited to face trail in a US court and he is almost certainly autistic why do you think they will care about this guy. It’s bad for trade so don’t get your hopes up.

Let’s hope the Chinese continue to have the courage of their convictions.

The sooner we reintroduce the death penalty here in the UK, the sooner we can start to remove the issues around the loss of a civil society with suitable penalities for criminals – insane or otherwise – for the benefit of our society.

This blog is the biggest waste of space – Mr Pitcher, your liberal views paint a picture of you that is far from flattering.

I have the utmost faith in the Chinese Government’s ability to remove the criminal scum from society (although they can at times be a little harsh) and I would like to extend my thanks to them in advance.

It is a pity Mr Johnson is not so concerned about the white, middle class, British Subject, who is not being given the full weight of the British civil service or Government calling for clemency from our trusted friends in America.

Shame on our British Government for it’s hypocrisy – do aliens on databases seem more serious than 4kg’s of heroin on our streets and the issues around the social implications of this.
