席教授贝淡宁(Daniel A.Bell，丹尼尔·贝尔）近日在英国《金融时报》发表署名文章
，他预计到2035年时，在中国执掌大权的仍是中国共产党，但这个执政党会改叫别的名
字。《金融时报》称贝淡宁为“中国模式”（The China Model）专家。
贝淡宁6月22日在《金融时报》发文，标题前半截乍一看很惊悚，似乎是加入了“
中国崩溃论的大合唱”，后半截却是转折。在这篇题为《对中国来说，共产党的末日就
在眼前——但只是名义上》（ For china the end of the Communist party is nigh
— but in name only）的文章中，贝淡宁认为，中国的政治体制不会崩裂，而中共即
使“消亡”也只可能是“名亡实存”。因为这个组织现在“既不共产主义也不是一个政
党”，更像一个精英统治组织。
贝淡宁认为，在组织结构和党统领国家这个意义上，中共属于“列宁主义”，但它
不具备“列宁主义”的其它一些重要特征；列宁主义式的政治动员在中国早已成为历史

2016-01-20 04:44 中央社 倫敦19日專電
英國公民柴普曼發起要求英國承認台灣是一個國家的連署案，快速獲得不少人支持，專
家指出，台灣總統大選剛落幕，目前正是兩岸關係發展的關鍵時刻，連署案推出的時機
敏感。
這項由柴普曼（Lee Chapman）發起的連署案公布在英國國會網站，連署文的標題為「
承認台灣是一個國家」（Recognise Taiwan as a country），內文指出，由於「一個
中國」政策，英國無法承認中華民國政府，造成英國與台灣的外交關係必須建立在非官
方的基礎上。
連署文數次強調，台灣是一個獨立的國家，並非中國大陸指稱台灣是中國的一部份，這
個情況必須改變。
英國政府原本承認中華民國是代表全中國的唯一合法政府，1950年轉而承認中華人民共
和國，終止與中華民國的正式外交關係。中華民國駐英機構直到1963年才成立，當時的

发言人还称，只要联名请愿人数超过1万，便有权获得英国政府回应，因此英国政府会
