Michael Anti: Behind the Great Firewall of China

Translator: Thu-Huong Ha Reviewer: Jenny Zurawell

Translator: Lenka Tušar Reviewer: Tilen Pigac - EFZG

In the past several days, I heard people talking about China.

V zadnjih dnevih sem slišal veliko pogovorov o Kitajski.

And also, I talked to friends about China and Chinese Internet.

S prijatelji smo se pogovarjali o Kitajski in kitajskem internetu.

Something is very challenging to me.

Velik izziv mi predstavlja sledeče:

I want to make my friends understand:

rad bi, da moji prijatelji razumejo,

China is complicated.

da je položaj Kitajske zapleten.

So I always want to tell the story, like,

Vedno to želim razložiti

one hand it is that, the other hand is that.

z upoštevanjem obeh strani zgodbe.

You can't just tell a one sided story.

Ne moremo razlagati le enostransko.

I'll give an example. China is a BRIC country.

Naj dam primer. Kitajska spada med države BRIC,

BRIC country means Brazil, Russia, India and China.

kar predstavlja Brazilijo, Rusijo, Indijo in Kitajsko.

This emerging economy really is helping the revival of the world economy.

To cvetoče gospodarstvo osvežuje svetovne gospodarske razmere.

But at the same time, on the other hand,

Hkrati pa je Kitajska

China is a SICK country,

SICK (bolna) država,

the terminology coined by Facebook IPO papers -- file.

termin, ki se je pojavil v prvi izdaji Facebookovih delnic za javnost.

He said the SICK country means Syria, Iran, China and North Korea.

SICK države so Sirija, Iran, Kitajska in Severna Koreja.

The four countries have no access to Facebook.

Vse štiri države nimajo dostopa do Facebooka.

So basically, China is a SICK BRIC country.

Kitajska je torej SICK BRIC država.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Another project was built up

Nek projekt je preučeval

to watch China and Chinese Internet.

Kitajsko in kitajski internet.

And now, today I want to tell you my personal

Danes pa vam želim predstaviti osebno mnenje,

observation in the past several years, from that wall.

rezultat nekajletnega opazovanja, izza tega zidu.

So, if you are a fan of the Game of Thrones,

Če ste ljubitelj Igre prestolov,

you definitely know how important a big wall is for an old kingdom.

gotovo veste, kako pomembno je za staro kraljestvo močno obzidje.

It prevents weird things from the north.

Varuje pred čudnimi stvarmi s severa.

Same was true for China.

Enako je veljalo za Kitajsko.

In the north, there was a great wall, Chang Cheng.

Na severu so zgradili Kitajski zid, Chang Cheng.

It protected China from invaders for 2,000 years.

Dve tisočletji je Kitajsko varoval pred osvajalci.

But China also has a great firewall.

Kitajska pa pozna tudi veliki požarni zid.

That's the biggest digital boundary in the whole world.

Gre za največjo digitalno mejo na svetu.

It's not only to defend the Chinese regime from overseas,

Ne le da ščiti ureditev Kitajske pred tujimi vplivi,

from the universal values, but also to prevent

pred splošnimi vrednotami,

China's own citizens to access the global free Internet,

pač pa tudi preprečuje dostop Kitajcev do svetovnega brezplačnega interneta

and even separate themselves into blocks, not united.

in jih celo razmejuje na nepovezane gradnike.

So, basically the "Internet" has two Internets.

"Internet" ima torej dva interneta.

One is the Internet, the other is the Chinanet.

En je Internet, drugi pa Chinanet.

But if you think the Chinanet is something

A če mislite, da je Chinanet

like a deadland, wasteland, I think it's wrong.

opustošena pustinja, se motite.

But we also use a very simple metaphor, the cat and the mouse game,

Z uporabo preproste prispodobe, igre mačke in miši,

to describe in the past 15 years

lahko opišemo dogajanje zadnjih 15 let,

the continuing fight between Chinese

in sicer trajajoči boj med

censorship, government censorship, the cat,

kitajsko oz. vladno cenzuro - mačko

and the Chinese Internet users. That means us, the mouse.

in kitajskimi uporabniki interneta, nami oz. mišjo.

But sometimes this kind of a metaphor is too simple.

A včasih je taka prispodoba preveč enostavna.

So today I want to upgrade it to 2.0 version.

Danes jo želim nadgraditi na različico 2.0.

In China, we have 500 million Internet users.

Na Kitajskem je 500 milijonov internetnih uporabnikov.

That's the biggest population of Netizens, Internet users, in the whole world.

Gre za največjo svetovno skupino "mrežanov" oz. uporabnikov interneta.

So even though China's is a totally censored Internet,

Čeprav je internet na Kitajskem popolnoma cenzuriran,

but still, Chinese Internet society is really booming.

pa je družbeni vidik kitajskega interneta v razmahu.

How to make it? It's simple.

Kako deluje kitajski internet? Preprosto.

You have Google, we have Baidu.

Vi imate Google, mi imamo Baidu.

You have Twitter, we have Weibo.

Vi imate Twitter, mi imamo Weibo.

You have Facebook, we have Renren.

Vi imate Facebook, mi Renren.

You have YouTube, we have Youku and Tudou.

Vi imate YouTube, mi pa Youku in Tudou.

The Chinese government blocked every

Kitajska vlada je blokirala

single international Web 2.0 service,

sleherno mednarodno platformo na spletu 2.0

and we Chinese copycat every one.

in jo posnemala.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

So, that's the kind of the thing I call smart censorship.

Temu torej pravim pametna cenzura.

That's not only to censor you.

Njihov namen pa ni zgolj nadzor.

Sometimes this Chinese national Internet policy is very simple:

Včasih je državna kitajska internetna politika zelo preprosta -

Block and clone.

blokiraj in kloniraj.

On the one hand, he wants to satisfy people's need of a social network,

Po eni strani želi zadovoljiti potrebo ljudi po družbenih omrežjih,

which is very important; people really love social networking.

ki so zelo pomembna za ohranjanje družbenih stikov.

But on the other hand, they want to keep the server

Po drugi strani pa hočejo ohraniti strežnik v Pekingu,

in Beijing so they can access the data any time they want.

da lahko kadarkoli dostopajo do podatkov.

That's also the reason Google was pulled out from China,

Zaradi tega je tudi Google prenehal delovati na Kitajskem,

because they can't accept the fact

saj ne more sprejeti dejstva,

that Chinese government wants to keep the server.

da želi kitajska vlada nadzirati strežnik.

Sometimes the Arab dictators didn't understand these two hands.

Nekateri arabski diktatorji niso razumeli teh dveh polov.

For example, Mubarak, he shut down the Internet.

Mubarak, na primer, je ukinil internet.

He wanted to prevent the Netizens [from criticizing] him.

Želel je preprečiti kritike ljudi na spletu.

But once Netizens can't go online, they go in the street.

A ker ljudstvo ni moglo na splet, je šlo na ceste.

And now the result is very simple.

Posledica je zelo jasna.

We all know Mubarak is technically dead.

Vsi vemo, da je Mubarak tehnično mrtev.

But also, Ben Ali, Tunisian president,

Ben Ali, predsednik Tunizije,

didn't follow the second rule.

ni upošteval drugega pravila,

That means keep the server in your hands.

namreč lastnega nadzora nad strežnikom.

He allowed Facebook, a U.S.-based service,

Dovolil je uporabo Facebooka, spletne storitve z bazo v ZDA

to continue to stay on inside of Tunisia.

znotraj Tunizije.

So he can't prevent it, his own citizens to post

Tako ni mogel državljanom preprečiti

critical videos against his corruption.

objave posnetkov s kritiko njegove korupcije.

The same thing happend. He was the first

Zgodilo se je enako. Strmoglavili so ga

to topple during the Arab Spring.

med gibanjem Arabska pomlad.

But those two very smart international censorship policies

Ti dve razdelani mednarodni cenzurni politiki

didn't prevent Chinese social media [from] becoming a really public sphere,

pa nista preprečili kitajskim družbenim omrežjem, da postanejo resnično javne družbene sfere,

a pathway of public opinion and the nightmare of Chinese officials.

poti javnega mnenja in nočna mora kitajskih uradnikov.

Because we have 300 million microbloggers in China.

Na Kitajskem je 300 milijonov mikroblogerjev.

It's the entire population of the United States.

Toliko, kot je prebivalstva ZDA.

So when these 300 million people, microbloggers,

A tudi pri teh 300 milijonih mikroblogerjev

even they block the tweet in our censored platform.

cenzura blokira tvite na naši nadzorovani platformi.

But itself -- the Chinanet -- but itself can create

A kitajski internet lahko sam predstavlja

very powerful energy, which has never happened

izjemno močno energijo, kar se še ni zgodilo

in the Chinese history.

v kitajski zgodovini.

2011, in July, two [unclear] trains crashed,

Julija leta 2011 sta dva vlaka trčila

in Wenzhou, a southern city.

v južnem mestu Wenzhou.

Right after the train crash,

Takoj po nesreči so oblasti želele

authorities literally wanted to cover up the train, bury the train.

dobesedno zakriti vlak, ga zakopati.

So it angered the Chinese Netizens.

Uporabniki interneta so pobesneli.

The first five days after the train crash,

V prvih petih dnevih po nesreči

there were 10 million criticisms of the posting

je bilo na družbenih omrežjih objavljenih 10 milijonov kritik,

on social media, which never happened in Chinese history.

kar se na Kitajskem še ni zgodilo.

And later this year, the rail minister

Kasneje tistega leta so odpustili ministra za železnice

was sacked and sentenced to jail for 10 years.

in ga obsodili na zaporno kazen 10 let.

And also, recently, very funny debate between

Pred kratkim je potekala zabavna debata med

the Beijing Environment Ministry

Pekinškim Ministrstvom za okolje

and the American Embassy in Beijing

in Ameriškim veleposlaništvom v Pekingu,

because the Ministry blamed

ko je ministrstvo obtožilo

the American Embassy for intervening in

veleposlaništvo vmešavanja v

Chinese internal politics by disclosing

kitajske notranje zadeve preko objavljanja

the air quality data of Beijing.

podatkov o kakovosti zraka v Pekingu.

So, the up is the Embassy data, the PM 2.5.

Zgoraj so podatki Veleposlaništva o trdih delcih PM 2,5.

He showed 148, they showed it's dangerous for the sensitive group.

Vrednost je 148, torej nevarna za občutljive ljudi.

So a suggestion, it's not good to go outside.

Gre za opozorilo, naj po možnosti ne hodimo ven.

But that is the Ministry's data. He shows 50.

Spodaj pa so podatki ministrstva, ki kažejo vrednost 50.

He says it's good. It's good to go outside.

Nobene nevarnosti torej ni in lahko se zadržujemo zunaj.

But 99 percent of Chinese microbloggers

A 99 odstotkov kitajskih mikroblogerjev

stand firmly on the Embassy's side.

se je jasno postavilo na stran veleposlaništva.

I live in Beijing. Every day, I just watch

Živim v Pekingu. Vsak dan preverim

the American Embassy's data to decide whether I should open my window.

podatke Ameriškega veleposlaništva in se odločim, ali naj odprem okno.

Why is Chinese social networking, even within the censorship,

Kako to, da je družbeno mreženje, kljub cenzuri,

so booming? Part of the reason is Chinese languages.

v takem razmahu? Del razloga tiči v kitajskem jeziku.

You know, Twitter and Twitter clones have a kind of

Twitter in njegovi kloni imajo omejitev

a limitation of 140 characters.

okrog 140 znakov.

But in English it's 20 words or a sentence with a short link.

To v angleščini predstavlja okrog 20 besed ali stavek s kratko povezavo.

Maybe in Germany, in German language, it may be just "Aha!"

Morda teh 140 znakov v nemščini pove le "Aha!"

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

But in Chinese language, it's really about 140 characters,

V kitajščini pa gre za 140 pismenk,

means a paragraph, a story.

ki tvorijo cel odstavek, zgodbo.

You can almost have all the journalistic elements there.

Lahko vključite vse novinarske elemente.

For example, this is Hamlet, of Shakespeare.

Tu je, na primer, Shakespearov Hamlet.

It's the same content. One, you can see exactly

Vsebina je enaka. Kot lahko vidite,

one Chinese tweet is equal to 3.5 English tweets.

je en kitajski tvit enakovreden 3,5 angleškim tvitom.

Chinese is always cheating, right?

Kitajščina vedno goljufa, kajne?

So because of this, the Chinese really regard this

Zato so za nas mikroblogi samostojen medij

microblogging as a media, not only a headline to media.

in ne le naslovi v medijih.

And also, the clone, Sina company is

Pri podjetju Sina

the guy who cloned Twitter.

so klonirali Twitter.

It even has its own name, with Weibo.

Ima svoje ime, Weibo.

"Weibo" is the Chinese translation for "microblog".

"Weibo" je kitajski prevod za "mikroblog".

It has its own innovation.

Ima pa tudi novost.

At the commenting area, [it makes] the Chinese Weibo

V območju za komentiranje postane kitajski Weibo

more like Facebook, rather than the original Twitter.

podoben Facebooku in se razlikuje od izvirnega Twitterja.

So these innovations and clones, as the Weibo and microblogging,

Te novosti in kloni, tako kot Weibo in mikrobloganje,

when it came to China in 2009,

so prišli na Kitajsko leta 2009

it immediately became a media platform itself.

in v trenutku postali samostojna medijska platforma,

It became the media platform of 300 million readers.

ki združuje 300 milijonov uporabnikov.

It became the media.

Postali so medij.

Anything not mentioned in Weibo,

Kar ni bilo omenjeno na straneh Weibo,

it does not appear to exist for the Chinese public.

ni obstajalo za kitajsko javnost.

But also, Chinese social media is

Poleg tega kitajski družbeni mediji

really changing Chinese mindsets and Chinese life.

dejansko spreminjajo miselnost in življenje na Kitajskem.

For example, they give the voiceless people

Ljudem brez glasu

a channel to make your voice heard.

dajo način, da izrazijo svoje mnenje.

We had a petition system. It's a remedy outside the judicial system,

Imeli smo sistem za prošnje, sredstvo zunaj sodnega sistema,

because the Chinese central government wants to keep a myth:

s katerim je osrednja kitajska vlada želela ohranjati mit:

The emperor is good. The old local officials are thugs.

Cesar je dober, stari lokalni uradniki so slabi.

So that's why the petitioner, the victims, the peasants,

Prosilci, žrtve, kmetovalci

want to take the train to Beijing to petition to the central government,

so torej raje sedli na vlak do Pekinga in vložili prošnjo na osrednjo vlado,

they want the emperor to settle the problem.

saj so želeli, da težavo reši cesar.

But when more and more people go to Beijing,

A vedno pogostejše zbiranje nezadovoljnih v Pekingu

they also cause the risk of a revolution.

lahko obeta revolucijo.

So they send them back in recent years.

V zadnjih letih so jih tako pošiljali nazaj.

And even some of them were put into black jails.

Nekaj so jih celo zaprli.

But now we have Weibo, so I call it the Weibo petition.

Zdaj pa imamo Weibo, čemur pravim Weibo prošnje.

People just use their cell phones to tweet.

Ljudje tvitajo prek svojih mobilnikov.

So your sad stories, by some chance your story

Vaše žalostne zgodbe

will be picked up by reporters, professors or celebrities.

tako lahko pridejo v roke poročevalcem, profesorjem ali znanim osebam.

One of them is Yao Chen,

Ena od njih je Yao Chen,

she is the most popular microblogger in China,

najbolj priljubljena mikroblogerka na Kitajskem

who has about 21 million followers.

z okoli 21 milijoni sledilcev.

They're almost like a national TV station.

Mikroblogerji so torej kot državne TV postaje.

If you -- so a sad story will be picked up by her.

Oni lahko izpostavijo vašo žalostno zgodbo.

So this Weibo social media, even in the censorship,

Ta Weibo družbeni medij kljub cenzuri

still gave the Chinese a real chance for 300 million people

omogoča 300 milijonom Kitajcev

every day chatting together, talking together.

vsakodnevne pogovore in debate.

It's like a big TED, right?

Je kot velik TED, kajne?

But also, it is like the first time a public sphere

Poleg tega pa gre za prvi pojav javne sfere

happened in China.

na Kitajskem.

Chinese people start to learn how to negotiate

Kitajci se učijo, kako se pogajati

and talk to people.

in kako se pogovarjati z drugimi.

But also, the cat, the censorship, is not sleeping.

A maček, cenzura, ne spi.

It's so hard to post some sensitive words on the Chinese Weibo.

Težko je namreč objavljati občutljive besede ali teme.

For example, you can't post the name of the president,

Ne sme se, na primer, objaviti imena predsednika,

Hu Jintao, and also you can't post the city of Chongqing, the name,

Hu Jintao, prav tako mesta Chongqing,

and until recently, you can't search the surname of top leaders.

in do nedavnega ni bilo dovoljeno iskanje po priimkih glavnih vodij.

So, the Chinese are very good at these puns

Kitajci so tako domiselno iznašli besedne igre,

and alternative wording and even memes.

načine drugačnega izražanja in celo imitacije.

They even name themselves -- you know,

Tako so tudi poimenovali sebe, in sicer

use the name of this world-changing

preko boja med

battle between the grass-mud horse and the river crab.

podvrsto alpake in rečno rakovico.

The grass-mud horse is caoníma,

Kitajsko ime za alpako je caoníma,

is the phonogram for motherfucker,

kar je fonogram za "jebem ti mater",

the Netizens call themselves.

s čimer uporabniki interneta izražajo svoj odnos

River crab is héxiè, is the phonogram for

do rečne rakovice, po kitajsko héxiè, kar posnema izraz za

harmonization, for censorship.

harmonizacijo družbe oz. cenzuro.

So that's kind of a caoníma versus the héxiè, that's very good.

Konflikten odnos med caoníma in héxiè je torej zelo domiseln.

So, when some very political, exciting moments happened,

Ob zelo burnih političnih dogodkih

you can see on Weibo, you see a lot of very weird stories happened.

se je na Weibo objavila cela vrsta bizarnih zgodbic.

Weird phrases and words, even if you have a PhD

Čudnih stavkov in besed ne bi razumeli niti,

of Chinese language, you can't understand them.

če bi imeli doktorat iz kitajskega jezika.

But you can't even expand more, no, because

Niso pa se mogle širiti,

Chinese Sina Weibo, when it was founded

saj je kitajski Sina Weibo nastal

was exactly one month after the official blocking of Twitter.com.

točno en mesec po uradnem blokiranju strani Twitter.com.

That means from the very beginning,

Od samega začetka je torej

Weibo has already convinced the Chinese government,

Weibo zagotovil kitajski vladi,

we will not become the stage for

da ne bo postal medij

any kind of a threat to the regime.

za kakršnekoli grožnje državni ureditvi.

For example, anything you want to post,

Tako se vse, kar želite objaviti,

like "get together" or "meet up" or "walk,"

kot "srečanje", "dobiti se" ali "hoditi",

it is automatically recorded and data mined

samodejno shrani, poišče med podatki

and reported to a poll for further political analyzing.

in prijavi raziskovalcem, da analizirajo morebitno politično vsebino.

Even if you want to have some gathering,

Čeprav gre v resnici za srečanje,

before you go there, the police are already waiting for you.

vas bo na kraju čakala policija, še preden tja pridete.

Why? Because they have the data.

Zakaj? Ker imajo podatke.

They have everything in their hands.

Vse, kar potrebujejo, držijo v rokah.

So they can use the 1984 scenario data mining of the dissident.

Za odkrivanje nasprotnikov lahko uporabijo metode iskanja podatkov kot v romanu 1984.

So the crackdown is very serious.

Ukrepi so torej zelo resni.

But I want you to notice a very funny thing

A rad bi, da vidite tudi zabavno plat

during the process of the cat-and-mouse.

boja med mačko in mišjo.

The cat is the censorship, but Chinese is not only one cat,

Mačka predstavlja cenzuro, a kitajska mačka ni edina,

but also has local cats. Central cat and local cats.

pač pa so tu še lokalne mačke.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

You know, the server is in the [central] cats' hands,

Strežnik je v rokah vrhovne mačke,

so even that -- when the Netizens criticize the local government,

ko torej uporabniki spleta grajajo lokalno vlado,

the local government has not any access to the data in Beijing.

pa ta nima dostopa do podatkov v Pekingu.

Without bribing the central cats,

Brez podkupnine za vrhovne mačke

he can do nothing, only apologize.

torej nimajo moči, lahko se le pokesajo.

So these three years, in the past three years,

V zadnjih treh letih

social movements about microblogging

so družbena gibanja prek mikrobloganja

really changed local government,

resnično spremenila lokalne oblasti

became more and more transparent,

in jih prisilila k večji preglednosti,

because they can't access the data.

saj nimajo dostopa do podatkov o kritikih.

The server is in Beijing.

Strežnik je v Pekingu.

The story about the train crash,

Pri železniški nesreči ni bistveno vprašanje,

maybe the question is not about why 10 million

zakaj je bilo objavljenih 10 milijonov kritik v petih dnevih,

criticisms in five days, but why the Chinese central government

pač pa zakaj je kitajska centralna vlada

allowed the five days of freedom of speech online.

dovolila teh pet dni svobode govora na spletu.

It's never happened before.

Kaj takega se še ni zgodilo.

And so it's very simple, because even the top leaders

Razlog pa je zelo preprost, namreč tudi najvišji vodje

were fed up with this guy, this independent kingdom.

so se želeli rešiti tega ministra in končati z neodvisnostjo njegove uprave.

So they want an excuse --

Zato so potrebovali izgovor za njegovo kaznovanje

public opinion is a very good excuse to punish him.

in javno mnenje je bilo izjemno prikladno.

But also, the Bo Xilai case recently, very big news,

Tu je še nedaven primer Bo Xilaia,

he's a princeling.

odmeven primer potomca privilegiranih članov Partije.

But from February to April this year,

Od februarja do aprila letos

Weibo really became a marketplace of rumors.

je Weibo postal pravo tržišče govoric.

You can almost joke everything about these princelings,

Ljudje so lahko po mili volji zasmehovali te politične privilegirance.

everything! It's almost like you're living in the United States.

Bilo je, kot bi živeli v ZDA.

But if you dare to retweet or mention any fake coup

Kdor pa si je dovolil kopirati tvite ali omenjati zaigran udar

about Beijing, you definitely will be arrested.

v Pekingu, je bil gotovo aretiran.

So this kind of freedom is a targeted and precise window.

Ta vrsta svobode je usmerjeno in natačno določeno okno.

So Chinese in China, censorship is normal.

Za Kitajce in Kitajsko je torej cenzura nekaj normalnega.

Something you find is, freedom is weird.

Človek spozna, da je svoboda nenavadna.

Something will happen behind it.

Nekaj se dogaja v njenem ozadju.

Because he was a very popular Leftist leader,

Ker je šlo za zelo priljubljenega levičarskega voditelja,

so the central government wanted to purge him,

se ga je centralna oblast želela znebiti,

and he was very cute, he convinced all the Chinese people,

on pa je prebrisano pozval Kitajce,

why he is so bad.

naj premislijo, zakaj je tako slab.

So Weibo, the 300 million public sphere,

Weibo, 300 milijonsko javno omrežje,

became a very good, convenient tool for a political fight.

je tako postalo zelo prikladno sredstvo za politični boj.

But this technology is very new,

Ta tehnologija je zelo nova,

but technically is very old.

pravzaprav pa gre za staro metodo.

It was made famous by Chairman Mao, Mao Zedong,

Znana je postala v času voditelja Mao Zedonga,

because he mobilized millions of Chinese people

ko je zbral milijone Kitajcev

in the Cultural Revolution to destroy every local government.

in preko njih v Kulturni revoluciji poteptal vse lokalne vlade.

It's very simple, because Chinese central government

Bilo je preprosto, saj kitajski osrednji vladi

doesn't need to even lead the public opinion.

ni treba niti usmerjati javnega mnenja.

They just give them a target window to not censor people.

Le omogočijo jim ciljno okno brez cenzure.

Not censoring in China has become a political tool.

Necenzura je na Kitajskem postala politično sredstvo.

So that's the update about this game, cat-and-mouse.

To je torej nadgradnja igre mačke in miši.

Social media changed Chinese mindset.

Družbeni mediji so spremenili kitajsko razmišljanje.

More and more Chinese intend to embrace freedom of speech

Vse več Kitajcev dojema svobodo govora

and human rights as their birthright,

in človekove pravice kot njihovo rojstno pravico

not some imported American privilege.

in ne kot nek uvožen ameriški koncept privilegiranih.

But also, it gave the Chinese a national public sphere

Poleg tega so Kitajski dali nacionalno javno omrežje,

for people to, it's like a training of their citizenship,

preko katerega, kot bi šlo za utrjevanje njihovega državljanstva,

preparing for future democracy.

se pripravljajo na prihajajočo demokracijo.

But it didn't change the Chinese political system,

Niso pa še spremenili kitajskega političnega sistema

and also the Chinese central government utilized this

in kitajska centralna vlada se je posluževala

centralized server structure to strengthen its power

koncepta centraliziranega strežnika za utrjevanje svoje premoči

to counter the local government and the different factions.

ter nasprotovati lokalnim oblastem in drugačnim skupinam.

So, what's the future?

Kaj nas torej čaka?

After all, we are the mouse.

Konec koncev smo zgolj miš.

Whatever the future is, we should fight against the [cat].

V vsakem primeru se moramo boriti z mačko.

There is not only in China, but also in the United States

Ne samo na Kitajskem, pač pa tudi v ZDA,

there are some very small, cute but bad cats.

je nekaj majcenih, srčkanih a hudobnih mačk.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, TPP and ITU.

SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, TPP in ITU.

And also, like Facebook and Google, they claim they are friends of the mouse,

Prav tako kot Facebook in Google trdijo, da so mišini prijatelji,

but sometimes we see them dating the cats.

a včasih jih zalotimo v mačkini družbi.

So my conclusion is very simple.

Moj zaključek je povsem preprost.

We Chinese fight for our freedom,

Mi, Kitajci, se bomo borili za svobodo,

you just watch your bad cats.

vi pa pazite na svoje pokvarjene mačke

Don't let them hook [up] with the Chinese cats.

in držite jih stran od kitajskih.

Only in this way, in the future,

Le tako bomo v prihodnosti dosegli

we will achieve the dreams of the mouse:

mišine sanje,

that we can tweet anytime, anywhere, without fear.

da lahko brezskrbno tvitamo kadarkoli in kjerkoli.

(Applause)

Thank you.

Hvala lepa.
