【禁聞】中共嚴控出入境 中國護照處境尷尬

【新唐人2011年12月19日訊】中國護照「免簽少，限制多」，成為中國民衆出國的絆腳石。網上流傳「中國護照是全世界最垃圾的護照」。有學者認爲，中國護照處境尷尬，是在於中共為維護政權的穩定和安全，以政治審查等手段嚴格限制中國和外國公民出入境。

大陸的微博上，瘋傳這樣一段話：「中國護照被視為全世界最垃圾的護照之一，免簽入境的國家僅僅18個，有14個在非洲，連去港澳也要簽證……香港免簽國家135個，台灣免簽國家124個。大國地位，可憐巴巴！」

大陸網站發佈的關於「中國護照的調查」結果顯示，有近80%的網友，對於中國護照的免簽抱以無奈的態度。網友們認爲，本國不尊重自己的公民，導致也不被他國信任。

在2010年亨氏國際旅行自由度指數中，中國排名88，僅在巴基斯坦、伊朗、黎巴嫩和阿富汗四國之前。

中國目前與其他國家簽訂的「互免簽證」協議只針對外交和公務。真正與中國實現了所有護照「互免簽證」的只有歐洲的聖馬利諾。但是這個以旅遊業聞名於世的小國，只有一個允許小飛機起降的機場，外國遊客往往需要先飛到義大利，再進入這個國家。所以，對於持普通護照的中國民衆來說，這個「互免」名單上唯一適用的國家，並沒有實際意義。

原公安大學法律系講師趙遠明認爲，中共的意識形態和世界上絕大多數的民主國家不同，因此它一直對中國民衆出國實施嚴格控制。

2002年之前，中國公民申領護照出國，手續繁瑣。雖然2002年後開始簡化護照申請手續，但目前仍需要預先政治審查。

趙遠明：「現在中國人即使持有中國護照都受到很大限制，更不用說你在申請中國護照的過程當中你會受到很多的管理和刁難。這些主要是為了它（中共）的統治服務的。」

趙遠明認爲，中共不止限制中國的公民去世界各地，而且也限制其他國家的公民到中國來。在這種情況下，其他國家得不到互惠的條件，基於「對等原則」，這些國家通常也不會對中國開放免簽政策。

2003年，中共首次單方面給予日本、汶萊、新加坡三國免簽證待遇。加上在此之前與聖馬利諾簽訂的普通護照相互免簽政策，截至今天，中共僅僅開放了這四個國家的普通護照免簽。

趙遠明：「中共的統治它不光懼怕自己國內的老百姓，它也懼怕全世界其他民主國家的人士。那麼它在管理這種簽證的行政手段上，它就跟其他國家不同。其他國家的出發點是方便自己的國民出入國境，方便在全世界旅遊。但是中國（共）呢不是，中共它是為了限制。」

根據美國「達美航空公司」提供的國際航空運輸協會中籤證與護照的信息，有43個國家對中國實行了免簽或落地簽的政策。但中國邊檢只針對其中不到15個放行。這表示，中國民衆申請出境的目標國，如果不在中共出入境管理局的名單上，即使目標國對中國實施了免簽或落地簽，中國公民也無法離境。

Communist Regime Controls Port of Entry Tightly, Chinese Passport Suffers from Awkward Situation.

China's passport, with few visa exemptions and many restrictions, has become an obstacle for Chinese citizens going abroad. As widely stated on the Internet, Chinese passport is the world's worst passport. Some scholars believe this awkward Chinese passport situation is due to CCP regime's tight restriction on the port of entry to its own citizens and also foreigners, by means of political censorship and so on, in the name of stability and security of political power.

In mainland microblogs, it is widely spread that the Chinese passport is considered one of the world's worst passports, with visa exemptions in only 18 countries, 14 of which are in Africa. A visa is also required even to Hong Kong and Macao. A Hong Kong passport enjoys visa exemptions in 135 countries, Taiwan passport to 124 countries. What a pitiful so-called 『great power.』"

A survey on the Chinese passport was published on the internet.

It indicated that nearly 80% of internet users shared the feeling of helplessness for the very few visa exempt status of Chinese passport. They believe that the lack of respect for its own citizens has resulted in not being trusted by other countries.

In Henley & Partners Visa Restrictions Index-Global Ranking 2010, China ranked 88, ahead of only four countries, Pakistan, Iran, Lebanon and Afghanistan.

China's visa waiver reciprocity agreement is only valid for diplomatic and official visits to other countries. The only full visa exemption other than China is San Marino in Europe. This small country is famous for tourism, but owns an airport for small planes only. Foreigners would generally fly to Italy before entering this country. Therefore, to the ordinary Chinese, this only "mutual exemption" country serves no practical meaning.

Former lecturer at the Law School of University of Public Security, Zhao Yuanming, believes the strict control of Chinese travel is due to the fact that CCP's ideology is different from the majority of democratic countries in the world.

Prior to 2002, the application for a Chinese passport was very tedious.

Although the application procedure was simplified in 2002, political review is still required.

Zhao Yuanming: "The Chinese people, even with a Chinese passport in hand, still suffer much restriction, not to mention the many regulations and hardship in the

process of application. These mainly serve the CCP to rule. "

Upon learning that the Governor of Calif. was coming to visit, Zhao Yuanming believes the CCP not only restricts its citizens going abroad, but also restrict foreigners going to China. Under such conditions where other countries receive no reciprocity, these countries usually won't have visa-free policy to China.

In 2003, the CPC for the first time unilaterally offered visa-free treaty to Japan, Brunei, and Singapore. In addition to the mutual full visa-free policy to San Marino, as of today, the Chinese Communists opened all visa free policy to four countries only.

Zhao Yuanming: "Communist regime fears not only their own domestic people, but also people in other democratic countries around the world. Therefore it has a different visa management style from other countries. Other countries mean to facilitate to enter and exit the country to their citizens, and to facilitate their travel to the world. The Communist regime doesn't. It is to facilitate the control."

According to the information provided by Delta Airlines, the visa and passport information provided by the International Air Transport Association indicated that there are 43 countries implementing visa-free or visa upon arrival policy to China. However, China only provided such policy to less than 15 of them.

This means that if the landing country the Chinese people apply for does not belong to those 15 countries, even if the landing country provided a visa-free or visa upon arrival policy, the Chinese people are not allowed to leave China.
