环球时报：瑞典是想冲中国要“治外法权”吗

    Global Times: Sweden is to rush to do China exterritoriality

以下为《环球时报》社评全文：

华裔瑞典籍香港书商桂敏海不久前在内地再次遭到拘捕后，瑞典外交大臣猛烈指责中方这样做是“粗暴的干预”，并宣称中方“违反了国际有关领事支援的基本规定”。欧盟及一些西方国家附和瑞典的指责，其中德国驻华大使的表现尤为激进，宣扬中国“开了在自己土地上随意抓捕欧洲公民的一个危险先例”。

任何国家的公民在中国领土上犯罪，中国司法机关都有权对其依法追究，包括关押和审判。所有欧盟国家监狱里目前关押的大概都不仅仅是本国公民。除了外交官，一般公民在哪犯罪就要在哪接受被治罪，这是国际法最基本的原则之一。如果连这点都搞不清楚，还做什么瑞典的外交大臣，当什么德国的驻外使节。

领事援助不是毫无限度的，根据西方媒体的报道，中方早就将拘留桂敏海的事情通报了瑞典外交部，尽了中方的外交义务。桂不是被绑架，也非失踪，他是在接受中国司法机关的强制措施。瑞典方面所希望的领事援助程度需要与中国处理案件的过程相配合。

即使双方围绕领事援助的细节存在分歧，也应当协商处理。在瑞典希望加强领事援助和中方办理案件优先之间，前者应让位于后者，根本不存在它可以凌驾于后者的逻辑。

德国等给瑞典帮腔，要求中方立即释放桂敏海，这是对中国司法主权的粗暴冲撞，是当年帝国主义列强治外法权思想的遗毒在作祟。瑞典和德国的有关外交官应该为他们被旧时代阴魂附体般的表现而感到羞耻。

除此之外，欧美国家对东方国家普遍存在畸形的价值傲慢。欧美精英们认为只有他们国家的法律才是真法律，他们国家抓外国人是法治，而中国抓他们的人必须经他们认可，否则就是“侵犯人权”。

中西法律的区别他们不认为是法律的差异，而咬定那是政治的不同，他们狂妄地认为自己代表着这个世界唯一的“政治正确性”。

桂敏海在中国犯了法，中国按照自己的法律追究他，西方舆论则将此定性为对有外国国籍的人“搞政治迫害”，蛮横地要求中方按他们的主张办。他们如此藐视中国法律，双方还有沟通的基础吗？

桂敏海虽有瑞典国籍，但他作为从中国内地出去的人，改变国籍后经常回到内地做事情，像他这种频繁出入中国内地，甚至在内地做事、生活的“外国人”有很多。他们当中个别人交叉使用自己“中国人”和“外国人”的身份，为自己谋取利益，一旦犯了案，就希望拿自己“外国人”的身份做挡箭牌。

欧美国家应当教育它们新入籍的这些公民。他们一旦为自己做出与中国关系密切的安排，就不要有“特殊思想”，而应认真遵守中国法律，不要以为欧美国家的护照可以成为他们在中国“什么都可以做”的护身符。

随着中国对外开放的不断深入，在华外国人必将越来越多。欧美国家如果向它们的公民灌输类似“治外法权”的思想，那是对他们不负责任的表现。中国的法治完全不受制于西方，无论谁往中国法律上撞，都不会有好结果。关于这一点，希望美欧国家给它们前来中国的公民打好该打的预防针。

Global Times: Sweden is to rush to do China exterritoriality

The following is the full text of the editorial "Global Times":

Gui Minhai, a Chinese Swedish Hongkong bookseller, was arrested again in the mainland recently. The Swedish foreign secretary strongly accused China of doing "rude intervention" and declared that China had violated the basic rules of international consular support. The European Union and some western countries echoed the accusations of Sweden, among which the German ambassador to China was particularly aggressive, advocating China's "opening a dangerous precedent for catching European citizens on its own land".

Any country's citizens have committed a crime in China's territory, and the Chinese judiciary has the right to pursue it in accordance with the law, including detention and trial. All the prisons in the European Union are probably not more than their own citizens. In addition to general citizen diplomats, in which we should accept offences where the crime, which is one of the basic principles of international law. If this is not clear, what is the foreign minister of Sweden, and what is the diplomatic envoy of Germany.

Consular assistance is not unlimited. According to reports from the western media, China has informed the Swedish Ministry of foreign affairs about the detention of GUI min Hai and has done the Chinese diplomatic duty. Cinnamon was not abducted or disappeared, and he was enforced by the Chinese judiciary. Sweden's desired degree of consular assistance needs to be cooperated with the process of handling cases in China.

Even if the two sides disagree on the details of consular assistance, they should be dealt with by negotiation. In Sweden, between the desire to strengthen consular assistance and the priority of handling cases in China, the former should be placed in the latter, and there is no logic in which it can be overriding the latter.

Germany and Sweden chimed in, asked China to immediately release Gui Minhai, which is roughly China collision on judicial sovereignty, the imperialist powers exterritoriality ideological legacy. Swedish and German diplomats should be relevant for them by the old age trance like performance and shame.

In addition, the European and American countries are proud of the common deformities of the eastern countries. European and American elite believe that only their country's laws are real laws. Their country's rule of law is the rule of foreigners, and the Chinese people must be recognized by them. Otherwise, they are "violating human rights".

They don't think of the difference between Chinese and western legal legal differences, and insist that political differences, they arrogantly believe that they represent the world's only "political correctness".

Gui Minhai made in China China, according to their own legal him, the western public opinion of foreign nationality as a "witch hunt", brutally asked the Chinese as they claim to do. Are they so defiant of Chinese law and the basis for communication between the two sides?

Although Gui Minhai has Swedish nationality, he often returned to the mainland as a person who came out of the Chinese mainland after changing his nationality. There are many foreigners like him who work and live frequently in the mainland and even in the mainland. Among them, others use their "cross Chinese" and "foreigners" identity, for their own interests, once committed the matter, want to take their own identity as a "foreigner".

European and American countries should educate the citizens of their new naturalization. Once they have made close arrangements with China, they do not have "special thoughts", but should conscientiously abide by Chinese laws. Do not think that passports in Europe and America can become a talisman for what they can do in China.

With the deepening of China's opening to the outside world, there will be more and more foreigners in China. If Europe and the United States to their citizens, similar to the "extraterritoriality" thought, it is irresponsible to them. The rule of law in China is not completely controlled by the West. No matter who hits the Chinese law, there will be no good results. In this regard, it is hoped that the United States and Europe will give them a good precaution for their citizens who come to China.
