【禁闻】相同漏油事件 中美处理大不同

【新唐人2011年7月26日讯】6月发生的�渤海湾漏油事件�,到目前溢油问题仍然没有
停止。长达1公里的油带漂浮在渤海湾上,造成几千平方公里的海洋污染灾害。有媒体
比较渤海湾事件和去年美国�墨西哥湾漏油事件�,可以看出两国政府面对重大污染事
件的处理态度完全不同。

这个月24号《中评社》北京报导,环保人士汪永晨指出,自6月4号�渤海湾漏油事件�
发生一个多月了,国内媒体虽然零星报导,不过并未在国内引起广泛重视;对照去年
(2010年)4月在美国发生的�墨西哥湾漏油事件�,两国政府在面对同样的环境污染
灾害时,明显不同的处理态度。

报导指出,美国�墨西哥湾漏油事件�受到新闻媒体大力报导,成为美国重大环保事
件。发生第2天,美国政府、媒体、环保组织透过网路随时向民众报告最新消息。即使
远在太平洋对面的中国民众,也可以透过媒体看到许多令人震惊的污染画面。5天
后,美国官员赶到墨西哥湾;第8天,美国总统奥巴马也赶往现场关心处理状况。但奥
巴马和其他官员却受到民间批评。因为美国民众认为,官员的反应速度太慢了!

反观中国的�渤海湾漏油事件�,6月上旬发生后,直到7月5号,才由国家海洋局对外
通报,证实了这次污染事件。在此之前将近一个月内,人们只能通过新浪微博,以及记
者传出的内部消息了解现况。直到7月11号,官方才首度证实至少有840平方公里的水域
受到污染。对此,�国家海洋局�海洋环境保护司司长李晓明的说法是:因为溢油的原
因很复杂,污染面积、发生原因等,需要一定的时间才能得出结论。

报导还指出,�墨西哥湾漏油事件�发生8个月后,美国媒体又进行了新一轮追踪报
导,关注墨西哥湾污染事件的后续赔偿问题与环境复原进度。对此,汪永晨感慨,�渤
海湾漏油事件�发生以来,国内媒体几乎都是淡化处理,也许因为中国还有太多事情需
要报导了。不过汪永晨也猜测,不知道是不是还有别的原因?

近年来中国沿海海域的污染问题越来越严重。《中国之声》25号报导,不只这次的�渤
海湾漏油事件�,以山东省为例,《2010年烟台市海洋环境公报》指出,去年烟台近海
发生3起�赤潮�,最大面积6平方公里,黄海中北部海域持续一个多月发生大面积浒苔
绿潮,光是打捞清理的浒苔就超过9800吨。去年烟台市监测的19个由陆地排污口排放入
海的污水总量达到3亿2千万吨,这些都让中国沿海污染越来越严重,甚至造成民众因食
用深海鱼发生重金属汞中毒等问题。

Different Treatments of Oil Spills

The Bohai Bay oil spill incident occurred in June 2011.However, the oil
spill has not been stopped.It currently stretches up to 1 kilometer andis
polluting thousands of square kilometers of ocean water.Some media compared
this tothe U.S. Gulf of Mexico oil spill incident in 2010.The comparison
shows that the U.S. and Chinese governmentshave different attitudes towards
handling oil spill incidents.

China Review News Agency reported from Beijing on July 24,environmentalist
Wang Yongchen pointed out thatsporadic reports of the Bohai Bay oil spill
incidenthadn't attracted much attention in China.Also, the report compared
the incidentto the U.S. oil spill incident in Gulf of Mexico in April
2010.Both governments have significantly different attitudestowards the
handling of oil spills issues.

The report pointed out that the Gulf of Mexico oil spill

was vigorously reported by the media andbecame a major environmental
incident in the U.S.After the oil spill, the U.S. government, media and
environmentalgroups reported the issue's development on a real time
basis.Even the Chinese people, across the Pacific,could see pictures of the
polluted ocean.Five days after the incident took place,U.S. officials
rushed to the Gulf of Mexico.On the 8th day, Obama came to the scene, as
well.However, they were still criticized for responding too slowly.

As the reported said 8 months after "the Gulf of Mexico oil spill",US
Medias still do follow-up attention to the compensation andenvironmental
restoration progress of the oil spill incidents.However in China,Wang
Yongchen said that after "Bohai Bay oil spill" occurred,the Chinese
national media downplayed the incidents,perhaps there are too many things
the regime needs to report.Wang also speculated that if there are other
reasons?

The Bohai Bay oil spill occurred in early June, butit was not confirmed by
State Oceanic Admin until July 5.Prior to this, people could only obtain
news about the incidenton Sina's micro-blogs and from some reporters.On
July 11, officials confirmed for the first time thatat least 840 square
kilometers of water was contaminated.Li Xiaoming, director of Marine
Environmental Protection Division,

explained that the causes of the oil spill were very complicatedand it
would take some time to reach a conclusion.

In recent years, China's coastal water pollution is getting worse.

Voice of China reported on July 25 that in Shandong,three "red tides"
appeared near Yantai's coast in 2011.The largest one covered 6 square
kilometers of the sea.

In June 2011, more than 9,800 tons of green algae werecollected in the
Yellow seaThe quantity of contaminated water poured from Yantai City's19
discharging outlets into the ocean was 320 million tons.All of these
contribute to China's worsening coastal pollution.

They even resulted in people suffering from mercury poisoningdue to their
consumption of deep-sea fish.
