《经济参考报》2月26日载文,谈西部人的“殖民地”说.此说前些年笔者也曾有所耳闻,因之也想说一说.首先,我不赞成在讨论东、西部经济关系时使用“殖民地”这个字眼,尽管是带了引号的.我们自然理解一些同志对西部或民族地区今日同东部的经济关系中仍然处于能源、原材料、初级产品供应基地,且与东部经济发展差距拉大的现状表示忧虑、不满的心情,但无论如何不该使用这个字眼来表达.谁都知道,“殖民地”一词是用以表述帝国主义国家对被压迫国家进行掠夺、剥削的,拿来比喻今天的东西部、或东部与民族地区的经济关系,虽然带了引号,也难免不使人产生误 The Economic Information Daily, February 26, contains an article on the “colonialism” of Westerners, which I said had been heard a few years ago, so I would like to say a few words. First of all, I do not agree with the discussion The use of the word “colonialism” in the eastern and western economic relations, albeit quoted, we naturally understand that some comrades are still in the supply base of energy, raw materials and primary products in today’s economic relations with the eastern regions of the western or ethnic regions. And expresses the anxiety and dissatisfaction with the widening gap between the two in the eastern part of the economic development. However, it should not be used in any event to express it. Everyone knows that the term “colonialism” is used to express the fact that the imperialist countries are opposed to the oppressed countries To plunder and exploit, they are used to describe the economic relations between the eastern and western regions today or the eastern and ethnic regions. Although the quotation marks are used, it is inevitable that people will not make mistakes
