1 | Come to China During Christmas to Enjoy Religious Freedom! | Tongava Ao Shina Mandritra ny Krismasy Mba Hankafy Ny Fahalalaham-pivavahana! |
2 | The Chinese Communist Party's mouthpiece, Global Times, published an editorial on Christmas Eve inviting international China observers to spend their holiday in China [zh] to witness how Chinese people celebrate Christmas all over the country. | Sampana iray ao amin'ny Antoko Komonista Shinoa, ny Global Times, izay namoaka lahatsoratra momba ny Krismasy ka manasa ireo Shinoa mpanara-baovao mpila-ravinahitra mba hoavy hankalaza ny fety ao Shina [zh] mba hahita maso ny fomba fankalazan'ny mponina Shinoa ny Krismasy manerana ny firenena. |
3 | This editorial was in response to the mounting criticism that China does not have religious freedom. | Ho setrin'ireo tsikera maro sosona momba ny filazana fa tsy manana fahalalahana ara-pivavahana i Shina no anton'izany lahatsoratra izany. |
4 | According to China Aid's report, at least 1289 arrests by Chinese authorities in 2011 were linked to religious prosecution. | Araka ny tatitry ny China Aid, olona 1289 farafahakeliny no nosamborin'ny manampahefana Shinoa tamin'ny taona 2011 izay voarohirohy tamin'ny resa-pivavahana. |
5 | Despite the bold Global Times editorial, netizens reported that the entrances of a few churches were blocked during Christmas this year. | Na dia eo aza ny lahatsoratra sahisahy navoakan'ny Global Times, nitatitra ireo mpiserasera fa nosakanana ny vavahady fidiran'ireo fiangonana sasantsany nandritra ny Krismasy tamin'ity taona ity. |
6 | Moreover, China's minority Muslim Uyghur community, appalled by the editorial, dared the Global Times to invite observers to the Xinjiang region for their Muslim festival. | Fanampin'izany, sanganehana tamin'ny lahatsoratra ny miozolomana vitsy an'isa ao Shina, ny fikambanana Ouïghourr, ary nihantsy ny Global Times mba hanasa ireo mpanara-baovao ao amin'ny faritry Xinjiang hoavy mandritra ny fetiben'ny Miozolomana. |

9 | Consumption freedom is not religious freedom | Tsy Fahalalaham-pivavahana ny fahafahana manjifa |
10 | Most netizens immediately pointed out the fallacy of the Global Times' editorial in reducing religious freedom to secular Christmas celebration. | Nanipika avy hatrany ny fahadisoana tamin'ny lahatsoratry ny Global Times ny ankamaroan'ireo mpiserasera izay nilaza fa mamintina ny fahalalahana ara-pivavahana ho fankalazana tsy ara-pivavahan'ny Noely ny lahatsoratra. |
11 | Below are some instant reactions from a news threads [zh] on China's microblogging site Sina Weibo: | Ireto ambany ireto ny sasany tamin'ireo fihetseham-po mikasika ny fizotry ny vaovao [zh] tao amin'ny habaka bilaogy fohy Sina Weibo ao Shina: |
12 | 铭格格-洛桑卓玛:In the shallow view of the Global Time editor Hu Shijun, a commercial festival is equal to religious freedom, touristic visits to churches and temples is equal to religious freedom… | 铭格格-洛桑卓玛:Amin'ny fijery ivelan'i Hu Shijun, mpamoaka lahatsoratra ao amin'ny Global Time, midika ho fahalalaham-pivavahana ny fetibe ara-barotra, mitovy amin'ny fahalalaham-pivavahana ny fitsidihana ara-pizahan-tany eny amin'ny fiangonana sy ny tempoly… |
13 | 彭勇-AARON:This is freedom of consumption, don't connect it with religious freedom. | 彭勇-AARON:Fahalalahana manjifa izany, aza afangaro amin'ny fahalalaham-pivavahana. |
14 | Churches blocked | Fiangonana nakatona |
15 | Ironically, netizens found out that some churches had been blocked and sealed off during Christmas eve. | Tamin'ny fomba manesoeso, nahatsikaritra ny mpiserasera fa voaràra ireo fiangonana sasany ary nakaton'ny vadin-tany nandritra ny krismasy. |
16 | On December 24, 2012 in Tianjin city Deci celestial reported [zh]: | Tamin'ny 24 Desambra 2012, tao an-tanànan'i Tianjin, Deci celestial nitatitra hoe [zh]: |
17 | The festival mood was strong and I took a ride to the Xikai church near Bingjiang road. | Mientanentana ny fankalazana ny fetiben'ny noely ary nandeha tao amin'ny fiangonana Xikai akaikin'ny làlana Bingjiang aho. |
18 | All the entrances to the church had been blocked. | Nakatona avokoa ny varavarana rehetra any am-piangonana. |
19 | Eventually I located a secret entrance by following the A4 paper size instruction stuck on some electric poles. | Farany, nahita fidirana miafina aho amin'ny fanarahana toromarika hita amin'ny taratasy A4 mipetaka amin'ny andrin-jiro. |
20 | On the way, there were at least 5 blockades set up by the police. | Eny an-dalana, sakana 5 farafahakeliny no napetraky ny polisy. |
21 | Photos uploaded by Weibo user Liagyage showing a Church being blocked in Xian on Christmas day. | Sary narakitr'ilay ny mpisera Weibo, Liagyage izay mampiseho fiangonana iray nakatona tao Xian nandritra ny andron'ny Krismasy. |
22 | On 25 December a large number of Christians protested in Xian city, Shaanxi Province because their church had been blocked. | Tamin'ny 25 Desambra, Kristianina marobe no nanao hetsi-panoherana tao an-tanànan'i Xian, faritanin'i Shaanxi, satria nakatona ny fiangonan'izy ireo. |
23 | Liagyage uploaded some photos described the situation: | Nandrakitra sary namariparitra ny zava-misy i Liagyage: |
24 | [The photos show] The entrance of the church that has been sealed off; a road that was blocked. | [Ny sary dia mampiseho] Ny fidirana ao am-piangonana izay nakatona; sy ny lalana nobahanana. |
25 | While the whole world is celebrating, the people here are siting on the ground, crying on a cold winter night? | Raha nankalaza ny noely izao tontolo izao, nipetraka tamin'ny tany kosa ny vahoaka teto, mitomany ao anatin'ny alin'ny ririnina mangatsiaka? |
26 | Why is that so? | Nahoana no toy izany? |
27 | Darkmumu re-posted Liyiforever's photo and attracted quite a few comments on the reality of religious freedom in China: | Darkmumu nandefa indray ny sarin'i Liyiforever ary nahasarika fanehoan-kevitra vitsivitsy mikasika ny zava-misy amin'ny fahalalaham-pivavahana ao Shina: |
28 | 天行者68th:In places where people gathered, where they could not be governed by their [the authorities'] lies, is now forbidden territory. | 天行者68th:Tamin'ireo toerana nitangoronan'ny olona, izay tsy tratran'ny laingan'[ireo manam-pahefana], dia lasa faritany tsy azo idirana amin'izao fotoana. |
29 | 染香姐姐:They are so stupid. | 染香姐姐:Adala tokoa izy ireo. |
30 | Blocking the church under the sun is forcing people to believe in evil cults. | Manery ny olona hino sy handeha any amin'ny fivavahana satanika ny fanakatonana fiangonana amin'ny andro atoandro be nanahary. |
31 | When activities are happening in the dark, it will generate sin and crime. | Raha amin'ny alina no atao ny fankalazana, hiteraka fahotana sy heloka izany. |
32 | If China can allow open and public preaching, religious activities will not turn into cults. | Raha mamela ny fivavahana (fitorian-teny) malalaka sy an-kalamanjana i Shina, tsy hivadika sekta ny hetsika ara-pivavahana. |
33 | 西葫芦馅儿:It is a luxury to hold to any belief in this country. | 西葫芦馅儿:Haitraitra ny fananana finoana eto amin'ity firenena ity. |
34 | 实习奋青:Better believe in money in this land. | 实习奋青:Tsara kokoa raha ny vola no hinoana ato amin'ity firenena ity. |
35 | House Churches are “evil cults” | “Fivavahana Satanika” avokoa ny Trano-Fiangonana |
36 | In China, all Protestant activities have to be under the coordination of the Three-self Patriotic Movement of the Protestant Churches in China, which is under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). | Ao Shina, ny hetsika ara-pivavahana Protestanta rehetra dia eo ambanin'ny fandrindran'ny Hetsika Tia Tanindrazana An'ireo Fiangonana Protestanta Telo Mahaleotena ao Shina, izay fehezin'ny Antoko Komonista Shinoa (CCP). |
37 | Other Christian sects, in the form of House Church, are considered illegal and vulnerable to crack down. | Sokajiana ho tsy ara-dalàna sy azo faizina mora foana ny Fiangonana na hetsika Kristianina hafa, mivondrona ao amin'ny anarana hoe Trano fiangonana. |
38 | People outside the Christian circle tend to believe that religious activities outside the Three-self Churches are evil cults. | Mitady miha-mino ny olona ivelan'ny tontolo Kristianina fa fivavahana satanika ny Fiangonana ivelan'ny Telo-Mahaleotena. |
39 | Opinions like the following one coming from 詹姆-兰尼斯特 [zh] unfortunately are not uncommon: | Tsy vitsy ohatra ny fanehoan-kevitra tahaka ity manaraka ity izay avy amin'ny 詹姆-兰尼斯特 [zh]: |
40 | I don't believe in this news [blocking of church in Xian]. | Tsy mino izany vaovao izany aho [fanakatonana fiangonana ao Xian]. |
41 | All churches are properties of the Church and in China they are owned by the Three-self Patriotic Churches. | Fananan'ny fiangonana ny Fiangonana rehetra ary ao Shina, ny Fiangonana Telo-Mahaleotena Tia Tanidrazana no tompony. |
42 | The government will not block its own branch? | Tsy hakaton'ny governemanta ny rantsany ? |
43 | It is very likely that the blocked one is a House Church. | Angamba mety ho Trano-fiangonana tokoa ilay nakatona. |
44 | In this case, I would say “fxxk off, you stinking evil cults!” | Amin'izany, hoy aho hoe “tsy misy hiraharahiako anareo, fivavahana satanika lò!” |
45 | Invite observers to Muslim festivals | Hasao Amin'ny Fetibe Miozolomana ireo mpanara-baovao |
46 | The Uyghur community in China also finds Global Times's editorial problematic. | Nahita ihany koa ny fikambanana Ouïghours ao Shina fa miteraka olana ny lahatsoratra navoakan'ny Global Times. |
47 | Ulghurbiz.net wrote a commentary challenging Global Times and inviting observers to Xinjiang for Muslim celebration: | Nanoratra fanehoan-kevitra mihantsy ny Global Times ny Ulghurbiz.net ary nanasa ireo mpanara-baovao hamonjy ny fetibe fankalazan'ny Miozolomana ao Xinjian : |
48 | The Global Times' editorial is full of fallacies. | Rakotra fahadisoan-kevitra ny lahatsoratry Global Times. |
49 | It turns young Chinese people's consumption of a “western festival” into evidence of freedom of Christianity culture in China. | Manodina ny fanjifan'ny tanora Shinoa ny “fety tandrefana” ho fahalalahan'ny kolontsaina kristiana ao Shina izany. |
50 | Will the government loosen control if Christmas was not a consumption holiday? | Hovahan'ny governemanta ve ny fanaraha-maso raha tsy fety fanjifana na fitadiavam-bola ny Krismasy? |
51 | The increase in the number of Christians in China is mainly a reaction to the loss of core values in this country. | Vokatry ny fahaverezan'ny soatoavina fototra ao amin'ity firenena ity amin'ny ankapobeny no nampiakatra ny isan'ireo Kristianina ao Shina. |
52 | People want to seek comfort from religion. | Te-hahazo fampaherezana avy amin'ny fivavahana ny olona. |
53 | Does it have anything to do with the government's open policy? | Misy idiran'ny politika misokatry ny governemanta ve izany? |
54 | We need systematic debate on this. | Mila adihevitra maharitra mikasika izany isika. |
55 | If western media criticizes the repression of Muslim religious activities in China on the eve of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, will Global Times dare to publish an editorial “Skeptics of Religious Freedom in China, please go to Xinjiang for the Festival”? | Raha mitsikera ny famoretana ny fombam-pivavahana Miozolomana ao Shina ny fampahalalam-baovao tandrefana tamin'ny fankalazana ny Eid al-Fitr sy ny Eid al-Adha, ho sahy hamoaka lahatsoratra toy izao ve ny Global Times “Ianareo tsy matoky ny Fahalalaham-pivavahana ao Shina, tongava ao Xinjiang hamonjy ny Fetibe ao? |
