Είναι δίκαιο να αναρωτηθεί εάν η έρευνα είναι πλήρως αντιπροσωπευτική. Μετά από να εξετάσει μεθοδολογία λεπτομερώς (pdf) (που ψήφισε 2000 αστικούς κατοίκους σε 5 πόλεις), σκέφτομαι ότι αυτοί οι αριθμοί μας δίνουν τουλάχιστον μια συγκεχυμένη εικόνα των κοινών τάσεων.
Αυτός ο όλος μου λέει ότι ίσως δεν πρέπει να αναμείνουμε πολλή φιλελευθεροποίηση on-line στο κοντινό μέλλον. Υπάρχει ακριβώς επίσης λίγη δημοφιλής απαίτηση για το.
Προέρχεται σε μας από Guangzhou τη TV τον περασμένο Δεκέμβριο, όταν ρωτήθηκε ένα μέσο άτομο στην οδό την άποψή του για ένα πιέζοντας κοινωνικό ζήτημα ( Σκάνδαλο φωτογραφιών του Edison Chen εάν πρέπει να ξέρετε). Έδωσε πολύ, uh, ειλικρινής και ευθεία απάντηση.
This works very well with the Chinese sense of humor, and has just exploded in usage over the past few months. It’s taken on other meanings now without a clear definition… but I’d summarize it as: “I’m cynical as hell.” As rumors of official corruption after the earthquake were swirling, the emotional young Internet crowd often turned to this phrase when they felt frustration, but had little else to add… at least without having their post deleted by censors. (”More corruption? Whatever, who gives a $@*%, I’m just here to buy soy sauce.”)
This follows the “very pornographic, very violent” (很黄很暴力) expression which started sweeping the Internet a few months ago.
Perhaps due to cultural reasons, or perhaps due to political reasons, or perhaps just due to demographics… just as in the real world, life on the internet is substantially different in China from what it is in the United States. I want to introduce a few of these differences to the English-speaking world.
Tianya remains one of China’s most popular and famous message forum sites (and partly owned by Google). At any given time during the day, Tianya will have anywhere from 50,000 to 250,000 viewers. Interesting threads will stay active for years at a time, accumulating tens of thousands of replies. Active threads (like those following recent Olympics torch rallies) will build up thousands of replies within the matter of one or two days. Numerous, significant, nation-changing “movements” have come out of Tianya.
Details after the jump.
