邁克爾.安替（又名趙靜）已在中國寫博客達12年之久。儘管中國中央政府掌控著網際網路——“所有的伺服器都要留在北京”——他提到數億微博用戶實際上正在創造這個國家歷史上第一個公眾領域，並且以意想不到的方式在改變權力的平衡。

00:16
In the past several days, I heard people talking about China.
0
838
4611
過去幾天，我聽見許多人談到中國
00:21
And also, I talked to friends about China and Chinese Internet.
1
5449
3954
我也跟朋友談論中國和中國的網路
00:25
Something is very challenging to me.
2
9403
2463
我發現有件事極具挑戰性
00:27
I want to make my friends understand:
3
11866
3061
我想讓我的朋友了解
00:30
China is complicated.
4
14927
3568
中國是複雜的
00:34
So I always want to tell the story, like,
5
18495
2095
所以在描述一件事情時，我總是會說
00:36
one hand it is that, the other hand is that.
6
20590
3456
從某方面來看是這樣，但從另一方面來看又是這樣
00:39
You can't just tell a one sided story.
7
24046
2786
你不能只看事情的一面
00:42
I'll give an example. China is a BRIC country.
8
26832
3181
比如说，中國是金磚四國（BRIC）之一
00:45
BRIC country means Brazil, Russia, India and China.
9
30013
5410
金磚四國指的是巴西、俄羅斯、印度和中國
00:51
This emerging economy really is helping the revival of the world economy.
10
35423
5826
這些新興的經濟體大大提振了全球經濟
00:57
But at the same time, on the other hand,
11
41249
3169
然而，從另一方面來看
01:00
China is a SICK country,
12
44418
2904
中國也是「有病四國」（SICK）之一
01:03
the terminology coined by Facebook IPO papers -- file.
13
47322
5956
這個詞在臉書的上市申請書中第一次出現
01:09
He said the SICK country means Syria, Iran, China and North Korea.
14
53278
6282
有病四國指的是敘利亞、伊朗、中國和北朝鮮
01:15
The four countries have no access to Facebook.
15
59560
4680
這四個國家的民眾都不能上臉書網站
01:20
So basically, China is a SICK BRIC country.
16
64240
4118
所以簡單來說，中國就是個有病的金磚之國
01:24
(Laughter)
17
68358
994
（笑聲）
01:25
Another project was built up
18
69352
1895
中國建立了另一套機制
01:27
to watch China and Chinese Internet.
19
71247
2844
來監視中國和中國的網路
01:29
And now, today I want to tell you my personal
20
74091
3383
今天，我想跟大家講講我個人
01:33
observation in the past several years, from that wall.
21
77474
5232
過去幾年對中國網路防火牆的一些觀察
01:38
So, if you are a fan of the Game of Thrones,
22
82706
3561
如果你喜歡影集《冰與火之歌：權力遊戲》的話
01:42
you definitely know how important a big wall is for an old kingdom.
23
86267
4983
你一定知道一道堅固的城牆對一個古老的國家來說有多重要
01:47
It prevents weird things from the north.
24
91250
4876
城牆能抵禦北方異族
01:52
Same was true for China.
25
96126
3197
中國也是如此
01:55
In the north, there was a great wall, Chang Cheng.
26
99323
3560
在北方，我們有座萬里長城
01:58
It protected China from invaders for 2,000 years.
27
102883
5372
兩千年來守護中國不受侵擾
02:04
But China also has a great firewall.
28
108255
4063
但中國也有一座網路長城
02:08
That's the biggest digital boundary in the whole world.
29
112318
4329
那就是全世界最大的數字國界
02:12
It's not only to defend the Chinese regime from overseas,
30
116647
4325
網路長城不只維護了中國的政權
02:16
from the universal values, but also to prevent
31
120972
3704
使其不受全球價值觀的影響，但也防止
02:20
China's own citizens to access the global free Internet,
32
124676
3675
中國人民接入全球自由網際網路
02:24
and even separate themselves into blocks, not united.
33
128351
5288
甚至將中國人民自己也區隔成一塊塊的，而非團結起來
02:29
So, basically the "Internet" has two Internets.
34
133639
4146
所以，基本上“網際網路”有兩種
02:33
One is the Internet, the other is the Chinanet.
35
137785
3992
一種是全球網際網路，另一種是中國網際網路
02:37
But if you think the Chinanet is something
36
141777
3792
但如果你以為中國網際網路
02:41
like a deadland, wasteland, I think it's wrong.
37
145569
6522
就像孤島或一灘死水一樣，我覺得你就錯了
02:47
But we also use a very simple metaphor, the cat and the mouse game,
38
152091
5737
我們會用一個非常簡單的譬喻，也就是貓捉老鼠的遊戲
02:53
to describe in the past 15 years
39
157828
3023
來形容過去十五年的情況
02:56
the continuing fight between Chinese
40
160851
3400
這是一場角力
03:00
censorship, government censorship, the cat,
41
164251
3280
一方是中國政府的審查制度，也就是那隻貓
03:03
and the Chinese Internet users. That means us, the mouse.
42
167531
6152
另一方是中國的網路使用者，也就是我們這些老鼠
03:09
But sometimes this kind of a metaphor is too simple.
43
173683
4193
但這樣的譬喻有時又太簡化了
03:13
So today I want to upgrade it to 2.0 version.
44
177876
5435
所以今天我想把這升級成 2.0 的版本
03:19
In China, we have 500 million Internet users.
45
183311
3762
中國現在有五億網路使用者
03:22
That's the biggest population of Netizens, Internet users, in the whole world.
46
187073
4855
居全世界之最
03:27
So even though China's is a totally censored Internet,
47
191928
5511
所以即便中國的網路受到全面審查
03:33
but still, Chinese Internet society is really booming.
48
197439
3594
中國的網路世界依然蓬勃發展
03:36
How to make it? It's simple.
49
201033
2710
如何做到呢？其實很簡單
03:39
You have Google, we have Baidu.
50
203743
2701
你們有 Google，我們有百度
03:42
You have Twitter, we have Weibo.
51
206444
3114
你們有推特，我們有微博
03:45
You have Facebook, we have Renren.
52
209558
3025
你們有臉書，我們有人人
03:48
You have YouTube, we have Youku and Tudou.
53
212583
5333
你們有 YouTube，我們有優酷和土豆
03:53
The Chinese government blocked every
54
217916
4530
中國政府封鎖了
03:58
single international Web 2.0 service,
55
222446
3711
所有網際網路 2.0 提供的服務
04:02
and we Chinese copycat every one.
56
226157
2816
我們中國人就把每個都複製過來
04:04
(Laughter)
57
228973
1393
（笑聲）
04:06
So, that's the kind of the thing I call smart censorship.
58
230366
4615
這就是我所謂的聰明的審查制度
04:10
That's not only to censor you.
59
234981
3568
這制度不單單是為了審查你
04:14
Sometimes this Chinese national Internet policy is very simple:
60
238549
4599
有時中國的網路政策非常簡單：
04:19
Block and clone.
61
243148
2387
封鎖和複製
04:21
On the one hand, he wants to satisfy people's need of a social network,
62
245535
5104
一方面，政府要滿足人民對社交網站的需求
04:26
which is very important; people really love social networking.
63
250639
3280
這點很重要，因為大家真的很喜歡網路社交
04:29
But on the other hand, they want to keep the server
64
253919
2825
另一方面，政府又希望把伺服器留在北京
04:32
in Beijing so they can access the data any time they want.
65
256744
4530
這樣政府便能隨時取得他們需要的資訊
04:37
That's also the reason Google was pulled out from China,
66
261274
4248
這也是 Google 退出中國大陸的原因
04:41
because they can't accept the fact
67
265522
1809
因為 Google 不肯同意
04:43
that Chinese government wants to keep the server.
68
267331
4799
讓中國政府把伺服器留在中國
04:48
Sometimes the Arab dictators didn't understand these two hands.
69
272130
5428
阿拉伯的專制統治者不了解這兩個面向
04:53
For example, Mubarak, he shut down the Internet.
70
277558
3753
比如說穆巴拉克封鎖了網路
04:57
He wanted to prevent the Netizens [from criticizing] him.
71
281311
3112
想要防止線上公民批評他
05:00
But once Netizens can't go online, they go in the street.
72
284423
5690
但民眾一旦不能上網，就只能上街了
05:06
And now the result is very simple.
73
290113
3280
現在結果很清楚
05:09
We all know Mubarak is technically dead.
74
293393
5610
我們都知道穆巴拉克跟死了沒什麼兩樣
05:14
But also, Ben Ali, Tunisian president,
75
299003
4512
同樣地，突尼西亞總統班•阿里
05:19
didn't follow the second rule.
76
303515
1926
也沒有遵守第二條規則
05:21
That means keep the server in your hands.
77
305441
3953
就是把伺服器留在自己手中
05:25
He allowed Facebook, a U.S.-based service,
78
309394
5845
他讓立基於美國的臉書網站
05:31
to continue to stay on inside of Tunisia.
79
315239
3402
繼續留在突尼西亞境內
05:34
So he can't prevent it, his own citizens to post
80
318641
3572
所以他不能防範國內的民眾上傳影片
05:38
critical videos against his corruption.
81
322213
2652
抨擊他的貪污腐敗
05:40
The same thing happend. He was the first
82
324865
4049
同樣的事情發生了，他是第一個
05:44
to topple during the Arab Spring.
83
328914
3017
在阿拉伯之春中垮臺的政權
05:47
But those two very smart international censorship policies
84
331931
5150
但這兩條非常聰明的審查政策
05:52
didn't prevent Chinese social media [from] becoming a really public sphere,
85
337081
6337
並沒有阻止中國的社交媒體成為真正的公眾論壇
05:59
a pathway of public opinion and the nightmare of Chinese officials.
86
343418
5673
成為凝聚公眾意見的通道，和中國官員的夢魘
06:04
Because we have 300 million microbloggers in China.
87
349091
4528
因為中國有三億微博用戶
06:09
It's the entire population of the United States.
88
353619
3832
這相當於美國的全部人口
06:13
So when these 300 million people, microbloggers,
89
357451
3864
所以當這三億微博用戶聚集在一起
06:17
even they block the tweet in our censored platform.
90
361315
4768
即便微博內容會在審查平臺上被攔截
06:21
But itself -- the Chinanet -- but itself can create
91
366083
3987
但中國網際網路自身就能夠創造出
06:25
very powerful energy, which has never happened
92
370070
4095
非常巨大的能量
06:30
in the Chinese history.
93
374165
1654
而這在中國歷史上是從未發生過的
06:31
2011, in July, two [unclear] trains crashed,
94
375819
4696
2011 年7月，兩輛動車相撞
06:36
in Wenzhou, a southern city.
95
380515
2256
在中國南方城市溫州
06:38
Right after the train crash,
96
382771
1624
事故發生後不久
06:40
authorities literally wanted to cover up the train, bury the train.
97
384395
5016
官方竟然想借著掩埋列車殘骸來掩蓋整起事件
06:45
So it angered the Chinese Netizens.
98
389411
2216
這激怒了中國網友
06:47
The first five days after the train crash,
99
391627
3063
動車追尾事故發生後的五天裡
06:50
there were 10 million criticisms of the posting
100
394690
4145
社交媒體上就已經有數量上千萬的批評和聲討
06:54
on social media, which never happened in Chinese history.
101
398835
3753
而這在中國歷史上從未發生過
06:58
And later this year, the rail minister
102
402588
3328
那年年底, 鐵道部部長被停職,
07:01
was sacked and sentenced to jail for 10 years.
103
405916
5466
並且被判處十年有期徒刑.
07:07
And also, recently, very funny debate between
104
411382
5047
最近還發生了一場令人啼笑皆非的爭論
07:12
the Beijing Environment Ministry
105
416429
3296
另一方是美國駐京領事館
07:15
and the American Embassy in Beijing
106
419725
3368
美國駐京領事館之間的爭論.
07:18
because the Ministry blamed
107
423093
2465
北京環境部譴責
07:21
the American Embassy for intervening in
108
425558
2145
美國領事館干預中國內政
07:23
Chinese internal politics by disclosing
109
427703
3429
因為美國領事館對外公佈了
07:27
the air quality data of Beijing.
110
431132
2684
北京的空氣污染指數
07:29
So, the up is the Embassy data, the PM 2.5.
111
433816
6888
上方是美領館公佈的PM2.5
07:36
He showed 148, they showed it's dangerous for the sensitive group.
112
440704
5944
它顯示148，這對於過敏人士已達危險水準
07:42
So a suggestion, it's not good to go outside.
113
446648
3802
所以建議大家最好不要外出
07:46
But that is the Ministry's data. He shows 50.
114
450450
5624
而這是環境部的資料，只顯示50
07:51
He says it's good. It's good to go outside.
115
456074
3352
說明空氣是好的，適宜外出
07:55
But 99 percent of Chinese microbloggers
116
459426
3544
但是99%以上的中國微博用戶
07:58
stand firmly on the Embassy's side.
117
462970
3760
都堅決站在美領館這邊
08:02
I live in Beijing. Every day, I just watch
118
466730
4672
我住在北京。每天我都會看
08:07
the American Embassy's data to decide whether I should open my window.
119
471402
8731
美領館的資料空氣品質指數的資料, 來決定我當天是否該開窗
08:16
Why is Chinese social networking, even within the censorship,
120
480133
4291
為什們中國的網路社交，即使有審查也能蓬勃發展？
08:20
so booming? Part of the reason is Chinese languages.
121
484424
4244
部分原因在於中文（的特性）
08:24
You know, Twitter and Twitter clones have a kind of
122
488668
3672
你們知道，推特和推特的複製品都有
08:28
a limitation of 140 characters.
123
492340
2465
140個字的字數限制
08:30
But in English it's 20 words or a sentence with a short link.
124
494805
4199
在英文中，這只夠20個單詞，或者一句話加上一個短連結
08:34
Maybe in Germany, in German language, it may be just "Aha!"
125
499004
3248
也許在德文中，只夠表示“啊哈！”這個意思
08:38
(Laughter)
126
502252
2534
（笑聲）
08:40
But in Chinese language, it's really about 140 characters,
127
504786
5745
但是在中文裡，這是真真切切的140個方塊字
08:46
means a paragraph, a story.
128
510531
2676
能表示一個段落，能講述一個故事
08:49
You can almost have all the journalistic elements there.
129
513207
4238
（140個方塊字）幾乎能涵蓋所有的新聞要素
08:53
For example, this is Hamlet, of Shakespeare.
130
517445
3687
比如說，這是莎士比亞的哈姆雷特
08:57
It's the same content. One, you can see exactly
131
521132
3791
同樣的一段內容。你能清楚地看到
09:00
one Chinese tweet is equal to 3.5 English tweets.
132
524923
6513
一則中文推特等于3.5則英文推特`
09:07
Chinese is always cheating, right?
133
531436
3257
中國人擅長作弊對不對？
09:10
So because of this, the Chinese really regard this
134
534693
3913
正因為這樣，中國人是
09:14
microblogging as a media, not only a headline to media.
135
538606
5081
把微博當成媒體本身來看待的，而不僅僅是媒體的標題
09:19
And also, the clone, Sina company is
136
543687
3711
新浪公司
09:23
the guy who cloned Twitter.
137
547398
2087
複製了推特
09:25
It even has its own name, with Weibo.
138
549485
2421
並命名為“微博”
09:27
"Weibo" is the Chinese translation for "microblog".
139
551906
2435
“微博”是微型博客的中文翻譯
09:30
It has its own innovation.
140
554341
1904
它有自己獨到的創新
09:32
At the commenting area, [it makes] the Chinese Weibo
141
556245
3633
它的評論功能讓中國的微博
09:35
more like Facebook, rather than the original Twitter.
142
559878
3742
更像臉書，而不是原版的推特
09:39
So these innovations and clones, as the Weibo and microblogging,
143
563620
4424
微博和其他類似網站，帶著這些創新功能和克隆功能
09:43
when it came to China in 2009,
144
568044
2320
當2009年甫一開通
09:46
it immediately became a media platform itself.
145
570364
4013
就立刻演變成了一個媒體平臺
09:50
It became the media platform of 300 million readers.
146
574377
4201
演變成了擁有3億讀者的媒體平臺
09:54
It became the media.
147
578578
1901
它自身就是媒體
09:56
Anything not mentioned in Weibo,
148
580479
2425
微博上未提及的話題
09:58
it does not appear to exist for the Chinese public.
149
582904
5284
對中國的公眾來說就不存在
10:04
But also, Chinese social media is
150
588188
2436
同時，中國的社交媒體
10:06
really changing Chinese mindsets and Chinese life.
151
590624
4395
正在改變中國人的思維方式和生活方式
10:10
For example, they give the voiceless people
152
595019
3489
比如說，它讓沒有發言權的人
10:14
a channel to make your voice heard.
153
598508
2753
獲得了發言的管道
10:17
We had a petition system. It's a remedy outside the judicial system,
154
601261
5443
中國有一個上訪系統。這是司法系統之外的一種補償系統
10:22
because the Chinese central government wants to keep a myth:
155
606704
3077
因為中國中央政府希望維持這樣一個神話
10:25
The emperor is good. The old local officials are thugs.
156
609781
4626
皇帝是好的；地方當局的老傢伙才是惡棍
10:30
So that's why the petitioner, the victims, the peasants,
157
614407
3391
這就是為什麼那些上訪者、那些受害者、那些農民，
10:33
want to take the train to Beijing to petition to the central government,
158
617798
3631
希望能坐火車到北京去中央政府上訪
10:37
they want the emperor to settle the problem.
159
621429
2795
他們希望最高領導者能解決他們的問題
10:40
But when more and more people go to Beijing,
160
624224
2839
但是當越來越多的人進京上訪
10:42
they also cause the risk of a revolution.
161
627063
3523
就存在引發革命的風險
10:46
So they send them back in recent years.
162
630586
2872
所以當局近年來老是把上訪者送回老家
10:49
And even some of them were put into black jails.
163
633458
3567
有些甚至進了黑監獄
10:52
But now we have Weibo, so I call it the Weibo petition.
164
637025
3601
我們現在有了微博，我稱之為微博上訪
10:56
People just use their cell phones to tweet.
165
640626
2839
人們用手機上網發微博
10:59
So your sad stories, by some chance your story
166
643465
3577
你的悲慘故事，就有可能
11:02
will be picked up by reporters, professors or celebrities.
167
647042
3641
被記者、學者和名人選中
11:06
One of them is Yao Chen,
168
650683
1913
其中一個是姚晨
11:08
she is the most popular microblogger in China,
169
652596
3389
她有全中國最受歡迎的微博帳號
11:11
who has about 21 million followers.
170
655985
3859
擁有2100萬粉絲
11:15
They're almost like a national TV station.
171
659844
3622
這相當於一個全國性的電視臺覆蓋面
11:19
If you -- so a sad story will be picked up by her.
172
663466
3336
如果你的悲慘故事能被她轉發，那可想而知
11:22
So this Weibo social media, even in the censorship,
173
666802
4448
所以說微博這個社交媒體，儘管有審查制度
11:27
still gave the Chinese a real chance for 300 million people
174
671250
5740
還是為3億中國人提供了一個機會
11:32
every day chatting together, talking together.
175
676990
3324
能每天一起談天說地
11:36
It's like a big TED, right?
176
680314
2906
就像一個大型的TED，對不對？
11:39
But also, it is like the first time a public sphere
177
683220
3848
同時，這也是中國首次
11:42
happened in China.
178
687068
1704
出現公眾論壇
11:44
Chinese people start to learn how to negotiate
179
688772
3215
中國人開始學習如何談判
11:47
and talk to people.
180
691987
3185
如何與人對話
11:51
But also, the cat, the censorship, is not sleeping.
181
695172
3704
當然，審查制度這只大貓也沒睡覺
11:54
It's so hard to post some sensitive words on the Chinese Weibo.
182
698876
4246
在中國微博上發佈敏感詞彙是非常困難的
11:59
For example, you can't post the name of the president,
183
703122
3207
比如說，你無法發佈主席的名字
12:02
Hu Jintao, and also you can't post the city of Chongqing, the name,
184
706329
5578
胡錦濤，你也無法發佈重慶這個城市名
12:07
and until recently, you can't search the surname of top leaders.
185
711907
4734
不久以前，你甚至不能搜索國家領導人的姓氏
12:12
So, the Chinese are very good at these puns
186
716641
4333
而中國人
12:16
and alternative wording and even memes.
187
720974
3672
又十分擅長雙關語、別稱
12:20
They even name themselves -- you know,
188
724646
2245
他們甚至為自己命名
12:22
use the name of this world-changing
189
726891
2495
用諧音改詞
12:25
battle between the grass-mud horse and the river crab.
190
729386
3971
包括“草泥馬”和“河蟹”的對立關係
12:29
The grass-mud horse is caoníma,
191
733357
2009
“草泥馬”的讀音為caoníma
12:31
is the phonogram for motherfucker,
192
735366
2954
是網友用來自稱
12:34
the Netizens call themselves.
193
738320
6216
“X你媽”的諧音
12:40
River crab is héxiè, is the phonogram for
194
744536
2617
“河蟹”的讀音為 héxiè，是
12:43
harmonization, for censorship.
195
747153
2894
“和諧”的諧音，意思是審查
12:45
So that's kind of a caoníma versus the héxiè, that's very good.
196
750047
5120
這就是“草泥馬”和“河蟹”有趣的關係
12:51
So, when some very political, exciting moments happened,
197
755167
5977
於是，每當有重大政治事件發生
12:57
you can see on Weibo, you see a lot of very weird stories happened.
198
761144
5581
你就能在微博上看到各種貌似詭異的故事
13:02
Weird phrases and words, even if you have a PhD
199
766725
4832
用詞千奇百怪
13:07
of Chinese language, you can't understand them.
200
771557
3467
就算你是中文專業的博士，也未必能看懂
13:10
But you can't even expand more, no, because
201
775024
2823
但你也無法再去擴展了
13:13
Chinese Sina Weibo, when it was founded
202
777847
2923
因為中國的新浪微博
13:16
was exactly one month after the official blocking of Twitter.com.
203
780770
5136
在推特被正式遮罩後的一個月就出現了
13:21
That means from the very beginning,
204
785906
2096
這就意味著在最開始
13:23
Weibo has already convinced the Chinese government,
205
788002
4192
微博就已經說服了中國政府
13:28
we will not become the stage for
206
792194
2744
我們不會成為
13:30
any kind of a threat to the regime.
207
794938
2592
任何反政權言論的舞臺
13:33
For example, anything you want to post,
208
797530
2200
比如，你想發佈的任何內容
13:35
like "get together" or "meet up" or "walk,"
209
799730
2895
像“聚會”，“碰頭”，“走動”
13:38
it is automatically recorded and data mined
210
802625
4193
會自動記錄和資料採擷
13:42
and reported to a poll for further political analyzing.
211
806818
6528
並且被上報，用於政治分析
13:49
Even if you want to have some gathering,
212
813346
2000
如果你想要集會
13:51
before you go there, the police are already waiting for you.
213
815346
3680
在你到達集會地點之前，員警就已經在等著你了
13:54
Why? Because they have the data.
214
819026
1808
為什麼？因為他們有資料
13:56
They have everything in their hands.
215
820834
2192
他們掌握了一切資訊
13:58
So they can use the 1984 scenario data mining of the dissident.
216
823026
6224
他們可以用1984年叛亂來進行情景模擬和資料採擷
14:05
So the crackdown is very serious.
217
829250
3599
鎮壓十分嚴厲
14:08
But I want you to notice a very funny thing
218
832849
2541
但我要向你們指出
14:11
during the process of the cat-and-mouse.
219
835390
2888
貓鼠遊戲中有趣的一個地方
14:14
The cat is the censorship, but Chinese is not only one cat,
220
838278
4225
審查是貓，但不只一隻
14:18
but also has local cats. Central cat and local cats.
221
842503
3628
除開中央政府貓，還有地方政府貓
14:22
(Laughter)
222
846131
1926
（笑聲）
14:23
You know, the server is in the [central] cats' hands,
223
848057
3074
你們知道，伺服器在中央政府貓的手中
14:27
so even that -- when the Netizens criticize the local government,
224
851131
4622
所以，就算線民開始抨擊地方政府
14:31
the local government has not any access to the data in Beijing.
225
855753
4638
地方政府可無法染指北京的資料
14:36
Without bribing the central cats,
226
860391
1888
不能賄賂中央政府貓
14:38
he can do nothing, only apologize.
227
862279
3426
地方政府就只能道歉了
14:41
So these three years, in the past three years,
228
865705
2728
所以在過去的三年中
14:44
social movements about microblogging
229
868433
2646
與微博有關的社會運動
14:46
really changed local government,
230
871079
2361
真正改變了地方政府
14:49
became more and more transparent,
231
873440
2256
它們變得更加透明
14:51
because they can't access the data.
232
875696
2848
因為他們無法擅自修改資料
14:54
The server is in Beijing.
233
878544
3613
伺服器都在北京呢。
14:58
The story about the train crash,
234
882157
1470
關於動車事故有這樣一個故事
14:59
maybe the question is not about why 10 million
235
883627
3207
也許問題不在於為什麼在五天之內
15:02
criticisms in five days, but why the Chinese central government
236
886834
4246
就有上千份批評抗議，而是在於為什麼中央政府
15:06
allowed the five days of freedom of speech online.
237
891080
3224
允許了網上有這五天的言論自由
15:10
It's never happened before.
238
894304
1909
這可是從未發生過的
15:12
And so it's very simple, because even the top leaders
239
896213
3451
這很簡單，因為高層
15:15
were fed up with this guy, this independent kingdom.
240
899664
3521
也對當局忍無可忍了，那裡就像一個獨立的王國
15:19
So they want an excuse --
241
903185
1670
所以他們需要藉口——
15:20
public opinion is a very good excuse to punish him.
242
904855
3457
而民意是一個很好的藉口，來處理這個人
15:24
But also, the Bo Xilai case recently, very big news,
243
908312
2970
最近薄熙來的案件是大新聞
15:27
he's a princeling.
244
911282
1331
他可是“太子”
15:28
But from February to April this year,
245
912613
4119
但在今年的2月到4月期間
15:32
Weibo really became a marketplace of rumors.
246
916732
2703
微博真的變成了謠言傳播的市場
15:35
You can almost joke everything about these princelings,
247
919435
3337
你能對所謂“太子党”開任何的玩笑
15:38
everything! It's almost like you're living in the United States.
248
922772
3400
隨便來！這簡直就像生活在美國一樣
15:42
But if you dare to retweet or mention any fake coup
249
926172
4649
但如果有誰膽敢轉發或提及任何捏造的北京政變
15:46
about Beijing, you definitely will be arrested.
250
930821
3943
那就肯定會被捕
15:50
So this kind of freedom is a targeted and precise window.
251
934764
5923
所以說這種（言論）自由是一個有準確目標的視窗
15:56
So Chinese in China, censorship is normal.
252
940687
3869
對於在中國的中國人而言，審查制度是正常的
16:00
Something you find is, freedom is weird.
253
944556
2745
而自由卻是蹊蹺的
16:03
Something will happen behind it.
254
947301
1767
自由的背後肯定有事發生
16:04
Because he was a very popular Leftist leader,
255
949068
3156
因為他以前是一個非常有號召力的左派領袖
16:08
so the central government wanted to purge him,
256
952224
2204
中央政府向要除掉他
16:10
and he was very cute, he convinced all the Chinese people,
257
954428
4082
還採用了非常精明的辦法來說服所有的中國民眾
16:14
why he is so bad.
258
958510
1830
為什麼他這麼壞
16:16
So Weibo, the 300 million public sphere,
259
960340
3778
微博，這個3億人的公眾論壇
16:20
became a very good, convenient tool for a political fight.
260
964118
4511
成為了政治鬥爭的一種十分有效又好用的工具
16:24
But this technology is very new,
261
968629
2157
這種科技是新的
16:26
but technically is very old.
262
970786
1666
而這種戰術卻很有年代了
16:28
It was made famous by Chairman Mao, Mao Zedong,
263
972452
2928
毛澤東曾將它發揚光大
16:31
because he mobilized millions of Chinese people
264
975380
2897
因為他鼓動了幾百萬的中國人
16:34
in the Cultural Revolution to destroy every local government.
265
978277
4082
在文革時期毀掉了所有的地方政府
16:38
It's very simple, because Chinese central government
266
982359
2870
原理很簡單，因為中國中央政府
16:41
doesn't need to even lead the public opinion.
267
985229
2136
甚至不用去引導民意
16:43
They just give them a target window to not censor people.
268
987365
4531
他們只是提供了一個沒有審查的目標視窗
16:47
Not censoring in China has become a political tool.
269
991896
5909
無審查在中國已經成為了一種政治工具
16:53
So that's the update about this game, cat-and-mouse.
270
997805
3970
這就是貓鼠遊戲的新進展
16:57
Social media changed Chinese mindset.
271
1001775
2170
社交媒體改變了中國人的思維方式
16:59
More and more Chinese intend to embrace freedom of speech
272
1003945
3510
越來越多的中國人想要擁抱言論自由
17:03
and human rights as their birthright,
273
1007455
2160
認為人權是與生俱來的
17:05
not some imported American privilege.
274
1009615
3622
而不是美國式的舶來價值觀
17:09
But also, it gave the Chinese a national public sphere
275
1013237
3712
同時，一個全國性的公眾論壇
17:12
for people to, it's like a training of their citizenship,
276
1016949
4330
起到了培養公民性的作用
17:17
preparing for future democracy.
277
1021279
2571
為未來的民主做了準備
17:19
But it didn't change the Chinese political system,
278
1023850
2456
這無法改變中國的政治體系
17:22
and also the Chinese central government utilized this
279
1026306
3245
而中國的中央政府利用了（社交媒體）
17:25
centralized server structure to strengthen its power
280
1029551
3936
這個集中的伺服器結構來強化自身的力量
17:29
to counter the local government and the different factions.
281
1033487
4498
來對抗地方政府或是其他內訌
17:33
So, what's the future?
282
1037985
2772
那麼，未來會怎樣？
17:36
After all, we are the mouse.
283
1040757
2184
畢竟，我們只是老鼠
17:38
Whatever the future is, we should fight against the [cat].
284
1042941
3800
無論未來如何，我們都要與貓戰鬥
17:42
There is not only in China, but also in the United States
285
1046741
3991
不僅中國有，美國也有
17:46
there are some very small, cute but bad cats.
286
1050732
4829
一些很機靈但也很壞的小貓
17:51
(Laughter)
287
1055561
1644
（笑聲）
17:53
SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, TPP and ITU.
288
1057205
6738
像SOPA法案、PIPA法案、ACTA協定、TPP協定，還有ITU（國際電聯）
17:59
And also, like Facebook and Google, they claim they are friends of the mouse,
289
1063943
5355
還有像臉書和穀歌這樣的公司，他們宣稱自己的老鼠之友
18:05
but sometimes we see them dating the cats.
290
1069298
4187
但有時候我們看到他們與貓約會
18:09
So my conclusion is very simple.
291
1073485
3184
我的結論很簡單
18:12
We Chinese fight for our freedom,
292
1076669
2845
我們中國人為自己的自由而戰
18:15
you just watch your bad cats.
293
1079514
3595
你們也要看好自己的壞貓
18:19
Don't let them hook [up] with the Chinese cats.
294
1083109
2903
別讓他們跟中國貓勾勾搭搭
18:21
Only in this way, in the future,
295
1086012
2841
只有這樣，在未來
18:24
we will achieve the dreams of the mouse:
296
1088853
3248
我們能達成老鼠們的夢想
18:28
that we can tweet anytime, anywhere, without fear.
297
1092101
3976
那就是能隨時隨地毫無懼意的發微薄
18:31
(Applause)
298
1096077
7359
(掌聲)
18:39
Thank you.
299
1103436
1685
多謝
18:41
(Applause)
300
1105121
4348

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Michael Anti - BloggerMichael Anti (Zhao Jing), a key figure in China's new journalism, explores the growing power of the Chinese internet.
Why you should listen
One morning in 2011, Michael Anti woke up to find himself a nonperson: His Facebook profile, with 1,000+ contacts, had been suspended. Anti, whose given name is Zhao Jing, ran up against Facebook's real-name policy--but he points out that for Chinese bloggers and information activists, the pseudonym is an important protection for the free exchange of information.
Facebook itself is blocked in China (along with Twitter and YouTube), but the country boasts some 500 million netizens--including 200 million microbloggers on sites like Sina Weibo, a freewheeling though monitored platform for text and photo updates that offers, perhaps for the first time, a space for public debate in China. It's not a western-style space, Anti clarifies, but for China it is revolutionary: It's the first national public sphere. Microblogs' role became clear in the wake of the high-speed train crash in Wenzhou in 2011, when Weibo became a locus of activism and complaint--and a backchannel that refuted official reports and has continued to play a key role in more recent events.
