路透社：中国政府为拘禁艾未未的行为辩护（5.12）

布达佩斯（路透社）一位资深中国外交官在本周四访问匈牙利时，为中国政府拘禁艺术家、社会活动家艾未未的行为做辩护。

中国外交部副部长傅莹是在与欧盟外交政策负责人阿什顿会谈后做出这一评论的，虽然傅称他们在讨论中并未提到艾未未的话题。

“就像你们这里一样，中国有自己的规则与法律，任何人都必须遵循，”傅说。 “任何人，也许他们是你的朋友，也许他们和你比别人有更多共同点，但这并不意味着他们可以凌驾在法律之上。”
“由欧洲人来告诉中国，有些人可以不遵循法律，这是非常盛气凌人的做法，”傅说。
正在访问匈牙利的欧盟轮值主席阿什顿，未对艺术家艾未未做出评论。她还计划与中国国务委员戴秉国举行会谈。
中国政府上个月表示，华盛顿和其他西方国家政府对中国政府本月初拘留艾未未表现出强烈抗议，对此中国政府感到非常不快。

BUDAPEST (Reuters) – A senior Chinese diplomat, on a visit to Hungary on Thursday, defended the government's detention of artist and activist Ai Weiwei.
Vice Foreign Minister Fu Ying made the comments after talks with EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, although Fu said Ai was not raised during their discussions.
"There are rules and laws in China that need to be applied just like here," Fu said. "And individuals, maybe they are your friends, maybe they agree with you more than others, but that should not make (them) ... above the law.
"It is very condescending for the Europeans to come in to tell China that some people are beyond the law," Fu said.
Ashton, who was visiting Hungary, current holder of the EU's rotating presidency, made no comment on the artist. She was also scheduled to hold talks with China's State Councilor Dai Bingguo.
The Chinese government said last month that it was "unhappy" with foreign support for Ai after his detention earlier in the month sparked an outcry from Washington and other Western governments.
