Una pregunta inconveniente.
Escrito por Simon Leys en un extenso artículo sobre la situación de los derechos humanos en China en 1978:
On the question of human rights in China, an odd coalition has formed among “Old China hands” (left over from the colonial-imperialist era, starry-eyed Maoist adolescents, bright, ambitious technocrats, timid sinologists ever wary of being denied their visas for China, and even some overseas Chinese who like to partake from afar in the People’s Republic’s prestige without having to share any of their compatriots’ sacri-fices or sufferings). The basic position of this strange lobby can be summarized in two propositions: (1) Whether or not there is a human-rights problem in China remains uncertain-”we simply do not know”; and (2) even if such a problem should exist, it is none of our concern.
Y ahora la pregunta: lo escrito por Simon Leys en 1978 ¿no es perfectamente aplicable en la actualidad?
