“茶番劇”孔子平和賞に失笑 本家同様、受賞者不在 中国
民主党の情けない外交に腹が立って仕方がなかったが、中国の外交もかなり稚拙だとわかって、少し安心（苦笑）。面子を大切にする国だから、面子つぶしの攻撃に弱いんだ。
（2つ目）中国のような国に対する嫌みは、やっぱりテレグラフ紙が最高。文末に注目してください。平和賞に関する記事なのに、「中国人が西側を脅迫する言葉」で締めくくられている（笑）。
ノーベル平和賞に対抗 “茶番劇”孔子平和賞に失笑 本家同様、受賞者不在

【北京＝川越一】中国の民主活動家、劉暁波氏に対するノーベル平和賞授賞に対抗して、急遽（きゅうきょ）設立された「孔子平和賞」の授賞式が９日、北京市内で行われた。初代受賞者に選ばれた台湾の連戦・中国国民党名誉主席は受賞を拒絶。本家と同様、受賞者不在というおまけがついた“茶番劇”に、報道陣から失笑がもれる一幕もあった。
「孔子平和賞は長い間準備してきたものだ」「連戦氏は当代の平和に貢献した」「（劉暁波の）３文字とは関係ない」－。選評委員会の譚長流委員長（北京師範大博士）が顔を真っ赤にして訴えた。
孔子が論語の中で述べた「和をもって貴しとなす」の心を設立理由に挙げ、ノーベル平和賞への対抗措置であることを否定。だが、パンフレットには「ノーベル平和賞は世界中の人々に開放され、少数派の推薦で決めてはならない。同賞は多数派とは言い難く、不公平さ、誤謬（ごびゅう）は免れない」と明記されている。
インターネットを通じた投票に基づいて選出したといいながら、サイト名や調査期間の公表を拒否。台湾メディアが連戦氏の受賞拒否についてただすと、「拒絶などできない…」としどろもどろに。同氏に正式に通知すらしていないことも明らかになり、最後は無関係の少女にトロフィーを渡してお茶を濁した。
Nobel Peace Prize: Confucius prize? Never heard of it, says the winner
China's attempts to upstage the Nobel Peace Prize with a rival version ended in near-farce in Beijing yesterday when the winner of the inaugural Confucius Peace Prize failed to show up to collect his prize.

But unlike Liu Xiaobo, the Chinese dissident who is unable to attend today's ceremony because he's in a Chinese prison, the first Confucius laureate said he wouldn't attend because he'd never heard of the prize in the first place.
The office of former Taiwanese vice president Lien Chan, who according to the citation won the Confucius award for his work in improving relations across the troubled Taiwan Strait, said it knew nothing of the hastily assembled ￡10,000 prize and had no plans to collect it.
The peace prize with Chinese characteristics had been billed as Beijing's riposte to this year's Nobel which has infuriated Beijing.
Laureate or no, the Confucius jury, a collection of Chinese academics gathered in a packed Beijing conference facility, pressed ahead with their ceremony, handing over a glass trophy and a bundle of banknotes wrapped in a bow, to a six-year-old girl.
"For Peace!", shouted one of the jury members, while the girl, a "symbol of peace" who stood looking rather frightened as the lenses of the world's television news media were trained upon her.
The prize had been consciously styled as offering a democratic alternative to the secretive, closed-door decision making of the Nobel Committee, putting an end to what the official brochure described as Oslo's "black-box operations".
The nominees, including the former US president Jimmy Carter, software magnate turned philanthropist Bill Gates and Yuan Longping, a brilliant Chinese scientist known as the "father of hybrid rice" were supposed to have been selected by a "democratic" online primary.
But as so often in China when it comes to democracy, the theory was not matched in practice, as the jury confessed it hadn't had time to actually conduct the poll this year but promised it next year's prize would be democratic.
Opening up to the floor, the jury chairman Professor Tan Changliu of the Institute of Ideology in Beijing, was met with a barrage of questions, almost all of which, to his obvious exasperation, concerned Liu Xiaobo, the very man that his Confucius Peace Prize had been designed to eclipse.
"Our Confucius Peace Prize has no connection with the three characters you mentioned", said the Professor, refusing to even speak the name of "Liu Xiao Bo" out loud, adding instead that the prize was timely given the recent skirmishes on the Korean peninsula.
Asked if he was "supporting a supporter of Liu Xiaobo" by nominating President Carter, who has publicly backed the Nobel peace laureate, the Professor finally cracked and said the name that is only rarely spoken by public officials in China.
"If you really want me to talk about Liu Xiaobo," he said, "then let's just say, we will see who is remembered by history, five hundred years from now." After more than an hour the ceremony was brought to tempestuous close with a hot-tempered, anti-American rant attacking the decision of George W Bush to invade Iraq and the Nobel Committee's widely questioned decision to give the 2009 award to his successor, Barack Obama.
"Don't bully a weak country, as one day it will grow up," warned Zhou Guidian, a philosophy professor at Beijing Normal University, "At the moment everyone wants to make trouble for a rising China. China once was strong but it was defeated because it was contemptuous of others. Now a similar fate might befall you Westerners."
