(トランプ氏の天安門事件「暴動」発言 謝罪求める声)
(“Voices Now Demanding Apology from Trump Who Calls Tienanmen Massacre a “Riot”)
(Translation from the original Japanese by FReeper AmericanInTokyo):
”In the most recent TV debate between candidates for the Republican nomination for President in the USA, Mr. Trump referred to it as a “riot” (boudou: 暴動) when Chinese students stood up in Tienanmen Square and requested freedom, in Beijing, China in 1989. Real estate magnate Trump was answering a question from the moderator in the March 10 debate in Miami, with respect to the suppression of Chinese university students. They were only pleading for freedom but were by way of armed force crushed by the Chinese Communist Party in Tienanmen Square in June 1989, resulting in many deaths, the “Tienanmen Massacre.”
In that reply, Trump said that he “did not support the government’s action” but stated that “a strong government was able to put down the ‘riot’ (sic) with strength. That shows you the power of strength.”
Because Trump in his response termed the uprising of the students in requesting democratization in China as a "riot", a Chinese dissident who lives in exile in the USA has issued a protest on Saturday.
“For many Chinese, it is simply an unacceptable statement by Trump. It is an insult to those who stood up to oppose the Communist Party of China but were crushed, dissident and democracy leader Dr. Wei Jingsheng （魏京生） stated. He called on Mr. Trump to apologize for it.
In addition, another former Tienanmen student survivor and Chinese dissident exiled in the USA Dr. Yang Jianli（楊建利） (and others) also have come forward and issued a statement demanding an apology from Donald Trump. “His statement takes a lot of nerve. The attitude towards (the use of) power held to by Trump is a contradiction of the values of the United States. This is totally unbefitting and unbecoming of an American president,” his statement read, as voices increasingly demanded Mr. Trump’s apology over his statement.” END OF TRANSLATION
I’m not going to “drop” the truth. If you want to try to get me banned, have at it. You’ve got your face so implanted in Trump’s ass that you can’t see anything else.
OK.
Drama? Secret Service is taking the huge amounts of death threats against this good man seriously...It is amazing that a man who appears to have such compassion but is unwilling to share it with Donald Trump. Seems phony to me. Your translation of what Donald Trump meant in his statement is terrible...maybe you did it on purpose maybe you did it by accident...that is for your conscience.
“I’m not going to “drop” the truth. If you want to try to get me banned, have at it. You’ve got your face so implanted in Trump’s ass that you can’t see anything else.”
Why would I try to get you banned...we just disagree DB...I see Donald Trump for who he is, you see him through the lens of propaganda...He is being maligned with a distortion of what he said.
Pretty good translation if I don’t say so myself. That is of course if you’d like to step forward now and articulate precisely where I was, well, not precise.
We have already done that AmericanInTokyo...wow...maybe you been doing this too long?
