*《經濟學人》的老辣*

去年10月28日一期的英國《經濟學人》雜誌的一篇報導，其標題就提出了一個在中國不能公開詳細討論和辯論的問題：“突破當局的資訊封鎖墻 / 在推特失敗的地方，中國自己研發的微網志正在取得成功。”(Breaching the great firewall / Home-grown microblogs are succeeding where Twitter failed)

説到這裡，不妨順便再多介紹兩句《經濟學人》雜誌。這家老牌雜誌所面向的讀者是世界各國政治經濟界精英，總部設在英國。其新聞報導總是經過編輯的大量加工，其報導一般總是沒有署名。報導的風格總是夾敘夾議，幽默，諷刺，調侃，犀利，深沉，正經，假裝正經，不一而足。公仔箱論壇/ K2 z1 @2 V3 Y2 D# A6 E8 l9 k

該雜誌編輯主力多是英國人。英國是出産莎士比亞的國家。而莎士比亞以文筆老辣、話中有話、一語雙關或多關、具有摧毀力的反諷著稱。《經濟學人》這個標題，就明顯展示出莎士比亞式的老辣和具有摧毀力的反諷。即使是翻譯成中文，其老辣和反諷的力道也沒有多少減損，讓懂行、內行的讀者讀了不禁莞爾而笑。
tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb' H2 c- l" ~" A" r: Z2 H2 h
該雜誌在這裡的意思顯然是説：當年中國當局作出遮罩推特的決定，就是因為擔心總部設在美國、不受中國執政黨共産黨宣傳部門控制的推特會打破當局的資訊封鎖；推特遭遇遮罩，也就是遭遇了失敗；但推特的失敗，給中國國內研發的微網志帶來了大發展的機遇，中國的微網志正在獲得成功，正在成功地打破資訊封鎖；於是乎，力圖封鎖資訊流通的中國當局的成功，正在給自己帶來失敗。& x( S0 u. G) D4 Y4 \4 u. m

中國的老話和英國的反諷在這裡顯然殊途同歸。

應當説明的是，《經濟學人》這種莎士比亞式的表達方式和風格是它自己的，但它這種觀點則可以説是外國媒體看中國的共識。公仔箱論壇/ C8 z$ \1 F7 S+ n; {

舉例來説，總部設在紐約、主要面向美國政界和新聞界讀者的著名網路新聞機構“談話要點備忘錄”（Talking Points Memo ，簡稱TPM）在今年6月30日發表記者格雷厄姆·韋伯斯特的報導，題目是：“中國在培育自己的推特，帶有中國特色。”

韋伯斯特的報導的第一句話就是：“一個創新性的貌似推特的網路平臺出現，成為中國政治和社會的一個重要的競技場。”（An innovative Twitter-like web platform has emerged as an important new arena for Chinese politics and society.）

既然是競技場，當然就必須有競技對手。現在在這個競技場上，競技雙方相互較力較得怎麼樣呢？' X3 h/ O% X3 i# t% y" i& Q& T  w

《華盛頓郵報》記者基斯·裏奇伯格3月22日從北京發出了這樣一番描述：

就在美國之音記者寫這篇報導的時候，成千上萬的中國網民正在通過新浪微網志進行一場裏奇伯格所説的“網路空間中的自由辯論，談論中國一些最禁忌、政治最敏感的話題”，話題涉及的是中共最高領袖、中國國家主席胡錦濤。- b. p9 i" e0 ^  X2 w; ^

引起這場熱辣談論的導火線，是一個名叫“香港新聞記者”的微網志用戶，在中國北京時間7月10日晚上10點半在自己的微網志貼出一條胡錦濤訪問日本橫濱一個小學校、跟日本學漢語的一些小學生對話的老新聞視頻。

那條老新聞發生在2008年5月9日下午。來自鳳凰網的那個視頻顯示，一個日本小男孩學生在教室中間起立，操著稚嫩的漢語問：

胡錦濤笑容滿面地回答道：“我告訴你，我本人沒有想當主席。全國人民選了我，讓我當主席。我不應該辜負全國人民的期望。”tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb, d: B: o& w; z( Y

“香港新聞記者”的微網志把這條視頻上傳之後，立即在中國微網志用戶當中引起強烈反響。於是乎，通過微網志，一條關於胡錦濤的舊聞變成了具有爆炸性的新聞。

顯然，中國當局負責網路資訊審查封鎖的機構面對如此這般神速的微網志依然不知所措，不知如何應對這種挑戰。

CHINA’S military mouthpiece, the Liberation Army Daily, is not a fan of microblogging. On October 19th it said Twitter had caused chaos during Iran’s political turmoil last year, and gave warning that such instant information-sharing tools posed “hidden dangers” to national security. Having blocked access to Twitter, however, China is encouraging home-grown versions. Both the government and its critics have become avid users.

Bloody ethnic riots in the far-western region of Xinjiang in July last year sealed the fate of Twitter and its domestic clones. The government, observing their growing popularity, feared that troublemakers in Xinjiang could use them to foment unrest. Since then Twitter has been available in China only to those with the skills to penetrate the Chinese internet’s “great firewall”. But the authorities quickly gave approval to new China-based microblogging services, or weibo, which employ armies of censors. In February even the Communist Party’s own mouthpiece, the People’s Daily, opened one.

+ M9 e- R& A1 d+ ~' B
The party’s all-powerful Publicity Department tells operators to filter postings for sensitive words. Their detection means automatic deletion. But dissidents are undeterred. News on October 8th that an imprisoned activist, Liu Xiaobo, had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize spread quickly through domestic microblogs despite the authorities’ best efforts to block it. Users wrote homonyms for Mr Liu’s name, or abbreviations in Latin characters. - r  k1 `& N4 D2 B( V4 j$ U4 p

Since last year, weibo use has grown rapidly. Before it was closed last July, the most popular domestic provider, Fanfou, had acquired nearly a million subscribers in two years of operation. The new leading service, Sina Weibo, says it has gained more than 20m registered users since it was launched in August 2009. Last August China Youth News, a newspaper run by the ruling party’s Communist Youth League, reported that in a nationwide survey more than 45% of people under 40 said they were frequent weibo users. More than 94% said that weibo had changed their lives.

Hu Yong of Peking University estimates that more than 10m people are weibo regulars. In an article published abroad earlier this month, he claimed that the Chinese were world leaders in microblogging, using it for everything from “social resistance” to “mailing postcards to prisoners of conscience”. Mr Hu argued that this was promoting subtle social progress rather than lighting the fuse of a “Twivolution”, but he reckoned the phenomenon was nonetheless opening up “new possibilities for reshaping China’s authoritarian regime”.

4 X2 ?/ @  ]/ h
Many of the government’s most prominent critics have accounts on the blocked Twitter service as well as on weibo. One of them, Wen Yunchao (who has more than 32,000 Twitter followers), says he prefers to use weibo if he wants information to be picked up by domestic media. Some of China’s more aggressive journalists are also keen users. In September several tweeted live on the plight of two women who were hiding in an airport lavatory in Jiangxi province. Officials were trying to prevent them flying to Beijing to issue complaints to the central authorities. tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb6 E2 V& p+ `9 `. F: C$ t: e2 N1 P: o
) `6 ]3 i- D4 N& U, y) H, e1 ^

But the government clearly believes that weibo can be useful, too. Security officials can use it to monitor what dissidents are up to. This week a Twitter user in the south-western city of Chongqing was said to have been detained briefly after tweeting that she was preparing to raise a banner in support of Mr Liu, the Nobel prizewinner, during an anti-Japanese demonstration. Mid-ranking officials in Beijing are being trained at the city’s Communist Party school in the art of communicating with the public through weibo.
* V, s- g* x0 {$ J& l

Rebecca MacKinnon, an internet analyst, says anyone wanting to organise something “truly subversive” would not use microblogs anyway, since the government might be able to trace them. And if weibo become more threatening to the party, they can be shut down. In July China’s microblogging services relabelled themselves as “beta” versions, a possible hint that this was all just an experiment.

BEIJING — In a country where most media are controlled by the state, information is heavily censored and free-flowing opinions are sharply constricted, Chinese have turned to a new platform to openly exchange unfettered news and views: microblogs, similar to Twitter.

Microblogs — called “weibo” — seem to be one step ahead of China’s notoriously efficient censors, with a dozen microblogging sites, more than 120 million users and a million posts every hour. Web sites such as Facebook and YouTube are blocked in China. Sensitive broadcasts on BBC and CNN are blacked out. Even text messages with words such as “jasmine” and “revolution” may be bounced back as undeliverable.

But weibo users are regularly engaged in a virtual debating free-for-all, touching on some of the most off-limits or politically touchy topics.

There are microblog comments on the uprisings in the Middle East — including questions on whether the popular unrest might spread to China. There is talk of political reform, including users posting and re-posting remarks by Premier Wen Jiabao calling for more openness. Even discussion of Tibet and the Dalai Lama are allowed.5.39.217.76! h. d/ z1 c( \8 G. z0 Z

Still, posts involving the jailed dissident and Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo or the outlawed Falun Gong spiritual movement may be deleted or blocked from re-posting. “Weibo has become the public hall for people to discuss public affairs and formulate opinions,” said Hu Yong, associate professor of journalism at Peking University. “Weibo has become the most prominent place for free speech in China.”

In democratic countries, “people have various channels to express their opinions, like through the media, the judicial system, in general elections and even through the petition process,” Hu said. “But in China, since all the other channels of free expression are blocked, the opinion function of weibo has become more important and prominent.”tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb; i5 b+ J$ q( ~

It isn’t that the authorities have suddenly discovered a new tolerance for free speech, Hu said. The weibo-using community is growing so fast, the 140-character posts go out so quickly and the technology is so new that they have been unable to keep up.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb; S8 u9 x) m' V9 Q' }- n

The government, meanwhile, is trying to stay ahead of the trend. Local Communist Party bosses, propaganda department officials, municipal police departments and the provincial party chief in Xinjiang have recently launched microblogs.

Chen Tong, executive vice president and editor in chief of Sina.com, China’s largest information Web site running the country’s most widely used weibo, said he persuaded 100 members of China’s parliament to open microblogging accounts during their annual March meeting in Beijing.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb# }- Z, T* K( D* |( x

The power of microblogging was dramatically illustrated last month by Peng Gaofeng, whose 3-year-old son was abducted in March 2008 in Shenzhen. Peng, 32, spent three years searching for the boy and was told by police to give up. But after a friend posted the boy’s picture on his microblog, Peng got a tip on Feb. 1 from Jiangsu province about a boy there who resembled his son. Soon, the father and son were reunited.

About the same time, sociologist Yu Jianrong started a microblog called “Taking snapshots to rescue child beggars.” Yu asked followers to photograph beggars and post them to the account. By late February, his campaign had attracted 240,000 followers.& ]+ b% F7 x" Q: j
