北京(法新社)——中国一家新闻网站周一发表了一张照片,照片上脸书主席扎克伯格会见了中国网络监管机构的领导人,同时在他的桌子上还摆放着一本中国主席所写的有关政府治理的书籍。
BEIJING (AP) — A Chinese government newsportal released a photo Monday of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg with a copy of Chinese President Xi Jinping's book on governance at his desk while hostingthe country's top Internet regulator.
脸书意欲进入中国,China.com.cn网站援引他的话说他购买了几本Xi的书,这样他和他的同事就能学习到“有中国特色的社会主义了”。
Zuckerberg, who has long sought market access to China, where Facebook is blocked, was quoted by China.com.cn as saying he purchased several copies of Xi's book so he and colleagues could learn about "socialism with Chinese characteristics."
这家位于加州的公司没有马上就中国网络监管人卢伟访问该公司的问题做出回应。
The California-based company did notimmediately respond to inquiries regarding the visit to Facebook's offices by Internet regulator Lu Wei.
但是人们认为这是扎克伯格在讨好中国政府,所以让位于中国的活动家们感到愤怒和失望,因为他们一直尊敬脸书不被GCD控制并自由分享信息的作风。
The gesture, interpreted as an effort byZuckerberg to court the government, disappointed and angered activists in China, who have long held the social networking company in high regard for its ability to share information beyond the tight controls of the ruling Communist Party.
“扎克伯格先生不是对中国政治的无知,就是不要脸,”主要的异见人士胡佳如是说,他称卢伟为网络自由的头号敌人,并担心像脸书这样的科技巨头会因为自己的利益而向北京低头。“他是网络巨人,所以应该明白技术在改变社会上所能起到的巨大作用。”
"Mr. Zuckerberg is either ignorant of China's politics or shameless," said prominent dissident Hu Jia, whocalled Lu a top enemy of Internet freedom and expressed worry that technologygiants such as Facebook were kowtowing to Beijing for their own business interests. "He is an Internet genius who should understand the power of technology for social change."
该网站报道说,这张照片是位于脸书于门罗帕克的办公室拍摄的,在他会见卢伟时,他的桌上拜放着Xi的《中国治理》一书。
China.com.cn, controlled by China's Internet Information Office and another government agency, said the photo was taken at Facebook's Menlo Park office and that Xi's book "The Governance of China" was at Zuckerberg's workstation when he hosted Lu.
“我也为同事们购买了这本书,我想让他们明白具有中国特色的社会主义,”这家中国网站援引他的话说。
"I bought this book for my colleaguesas well," Zuckerberg was quoted as telling Lu. "I want them tounderst and socialism with Chinese characteristics."
照片中,愉快的卢喜气洋洋的坐在扎克伯格的工作椅上,而扎克本人则站在他旁边微笑着。
The photo shows a beaming Lu sitting in Zuckerberg's work chair, with the Facebook founder smiling and standing next to him.
“在这张图片中,卢伟看起来就像个老板,”胡佳在电话采访中说道。“我为脸书公司感到羞耻,为扎克先生感到难过,如果你向网络刽子手屈服,他们只会变得更加傲慢。”
"In that photo, Lu Wei looks the part of a boss," Hu said in a phone interview. "I feel ashamed for Facebook and sorry for Mr. Zuckerberg. When you yield to the executioners of the Internet, they will only become more arrogant."
中国网络上的一幅漫画中,扎克穿着中国的军服,手持刺刀,将Xi的书放在胸膛。有些网民开玩笑说他即将加入中国GCD,有些人则认为扎克将Xi的书放在桌子上可能仅仅是为了作秀。
A cartoon posted online showed Zuckerberg in a Chinese military outfit holding a bayonet and clutching Xi's book to his chest. Some commenters joked that he was close to joining the Communist Party of China, although others suggested that Zuckerberg might have placed Xi's bookon his desk merely for show.
还不清楚这次的访问发生在何时,但是卢伟上周在美国参加了中美互联网大会,会上,北京希望在互联网管理中拥有更大的话语权。中国还声称要建立“信息主权”的概念,如此就能使其对互联网信息的严格控制变得名正言顺。
It was not clear when the visit took place,but Lu was in the United States last week to attend a Chinese-American Internet conference at which Beijing pushed for a louder voice in the management of theInternet. China also argued in favor of the concept of "information sovereignty," which could help justify its tight controls over Internet information.
