【 全球抗疫戰的話語權之爭 】
有關林書豪在推特上堅持不該稱呼「武漢肺炎」,因為該稱呼涉及歧視華人的評論,我前兩天在臉書上也發表了看法並引起廣大迴響,其中兩派網友說法值得深入討論。
第一,林書豪其實就是美國人,雖然他雙親來自台灣,但他是土生土長的台裔美國人,外界無須對他以所謂「台灣人」的價值觀進行檢視。
第二,許多台灣人在歐美各地深受歧視,打個噴嚏有如驚弓之鳥,常遭來旁邊猜忌眼光,我們無需再加深「這是來自中國的病毒」這類的輿論,否則海外的台灣人會遭受波及。
這兩派論點,乍聽有理,不能完全說錯,但有其盲點。茲析述如下。
第一,我從來不認為林書豪是台灣人,他是一個在美國出生長大並發光發熱的美國人,這點毋庸置疑。他的政治判斷是基於一位美國公民的身份認同,不是台灣人。他容或有對台灣的情感,以及對中國或廣義華人的情感,這點我們無法替他回答。
如同楊安澤(Andrew Yang)參加美國民主黨黨內總統初選時,我從未期待他提出友台的外交政策一般,因為他競選的是美國總統,而非台灣總統,況且民主黨向來(並非絕對)較共和黨傾中,他如果在兩岸議題上一面倒支持台灣,更加不可能贏得黨內初選。事實證明,楊安澤在競選過程中幾乎不提台灣,面對敏感的中國議題時,他的發言十分謹慎。這都完全可以理解。
第二,海外的台灣人被誤認為中國人而遭到歧視,其來有自,並不是因為這一波疫情才出現。外國人無法區分台灣人及中國人的臉孔甚至口音,故而在街上被小混混以歧視華人字眼謾罵,連我自己都曾經遇過。對台灣來說,這是一個長期的政治宣傳工作,並非短期一蹴可幾。
我們必須加強在國際上稱呼自己為Taiwanese,而非Chinese,避免使用令人困惑的Republic of China,改稱Taiwan,甚至連包括China Airline在內等公司進行改名,改為Air Taiwan之類(我個人不喜Chunghwa這個名稱,那將造成更多困惑),長期在國際上強調Taiwan不等於China,台灣人或台灣文化性是Taiwanese,而非Chinese。
總之,雖然對於海外台灣人被誤認為中國人感到很難過,但這是我們長期一廂情願使用Chinese自我標榜的錯誤結果,我們只能痛下決心,不再使用曖昧不明的Chinese有關字眼。
回過頭來談林書豪事件。他球打得好,拿到好的中國打球合約及相關代言或節目通告,這都是他的本事,我沒有意見。我真正在意的是,任何一個人,包括美國人在內,都應小心勿落入中國大外宣的圈套。
中國在這波疫情中,出現幾個明顯的文宣拐點。
第一個拐點是,華爾街日報二月二十九日引用中國人民日報的報導指出,中國政府聲稱「中國境內新冠肺炎的痊癒人數首度超過了目前仍確診人數」。
第二個拐點是,習近平在3月10日親訪武漢。雖然有人質疑習近平親訪武漢的照片或影片是造假,但真假根本不重要,重點是中國對於疫情掌控的信心。
第三個拐點,是3月19日中國宣布本土零新增確診病例。
上述三個文宣拐點,代表的是中國逐漸在對外文宣上轉守為攻,從一開始「國際輿論批評病毒來自中國」,再到「武漢封城有效,中國為全世界做出巨大犧牲」,再到「中國願意向各國輸出及分享自身成功抗疫經驗」,再到「病毒是美國軍人帶來中國」。
明眼人都看得出來,中國堅持不能稱為「武漢病毒」,要改成COVID-19,只是文宣戰的第一步。如果這步沒守住,之後中國會不會開始散播「台灣因為沒辦法加入WHO,所以跟美國合作將病毒藉著台商帶到中國」等荒唐言論?依照李明哲或前英國駐港領事鄭文傑的案例,如果此時又出現某個台商在中國脅迫之下在鏡頭面前被迫承認將病毒帶到中國呢?
中國的大外宣作法,一切都是為了黨的利益,本質上是凌厲的外交攻勢。可悲的是,部分國家確實買帳。
根據紐約時報的報導,中國派出龐大醫衛團隊至義大利協助抗疫,同時贈送菲律賓兩千個快篩試劑,賽爾維亞總統Aleksandar Vucic甚至公開說:「歐洲團結並不存在,我只相信我的兄弟習近平及中國援助」。紐約時報這則報導標題提醒我們:Beijing is mounting a humanitarian aid blitz in countries struggling with their own outbreaks. In doing so, it’s stepping into a role the West once dominated. (北京正向受疫情所困國家升高人道援助突襲,並扮演了過往由西方國家專屬的角色)甚至,位於華府的布魯金斯協會(Brookings Institution)轄下的中國戰略倡議中心主任Rush Doshi說:這也許是數十年來第一次全球大危機非由美國有意義領導,而是由中國領導。不只上述的義大利、菲律賓及賽爾維亞,中國還向日本、伊拉克、西班牙及秘魯等國提供協助或表態將提供協助。
中國打的,是一場全球外交的話語權大戰。
是在這樣險峻的國際政治脈絡下,我們討論病毒的命名才有戰略意義縱深。至於林書豪是不是為了合約或商業利益替中國辯護,其實也就沒那麼重要了。

Windshield Shatters on Plane in China, Pulling Pilot Partly Through Window
四川航空因副駕駛半邊身體被吸出窗外而緊急迫降
A Sichuan Airlines plane heading for Tibet made an emergency landing on Monday after its windshield shattered and a co-pilot was partially sucked out of the cockpit, the local news media reported.
據中國在地新聞媒體報導,週一時,四川航空公司一架飛往圖博的飛機在擋風玻璃破裂後緊急降落,且副駕駛有部分的身體被吸出駕駛艙外。
Flight 8633 left the southwestern metropolis of Chongqing at 6:26 a.m. and was scheduled to land at 9:05 a.m. in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa, around 1,500 miles west, according to the flight tracking website FlightView.com.
根據航班追蹤網站FlightView.com所示,8633號航班原本於上午6點26分離開中國西南部大都市重慶,並計畫於早上9點05分降落在重慶以西1500英里(大約2410公里)的圖博首都拉薩。
But the windshield later “shattered with a loud sound” the pilot, Liu Chuanjian, said in a video posted by the news outlet Chengdu Business News. “When I looked over to my side, half of my co-pilot’s body was hanging out of the window.
不過擋風玻璃隨後「爆裂且發出巨大的聲響,」機長劉傳健在新聞媒體《成都商報》張貼的一段影片中說。「我往旁邊看時,副機長(的身體)已經飛出去一半,半邊身體在窗外懸掛。」
“Fortunately, he was wearing a seatbelt,” Mr. Liu said.
「還好,他有綁安全帶。」劉傳建表示。
The plane made an emergency landing at 7:42 a.m. in the southwestern Chinese city of Chengdu.
飛機於上午7點42分在中國西南部的成都市緊急迫降。
Later on Monday, Sichuan Airlines said in a post on Weibo, China’s Twitter-like microblogging platform, that 29 of the plane’s 119 passengers were sent to a hospital for examination. One cabin crew member was being treated for a waist injury and the first officer suffered scratches, but the remaining passengers were discharged, the post said.
週一稍晚,四川航空在新浪微博上發文指出,機上的119名乘客中有29名被送往醫院進行檢查。文章中寫道,一名機組人員腰部受傷,正在接受治療。副機長皮膚擦傷。但其餘乘客都已出院。
Many Chinese social media users lauded the pilots as heroes and encouraged the airline to reward them.
中國許多社群媒體使用者讚揚駕駛們是英雄,並鼓勵航空公司應該給他們獎勵。
“Sichuan pilot, you rule!” one wrote.
「四川航空的機長,你超狂的!」有人寫道。
“Give the pilot a raise!” another user commented below the Sichuan Airlines’ post. “Give the first officer a paid vacation!”
「該給機長加薪!」另一位網友在四川航空公司的文章下評論。「也給副機長放有薪假!」
The pilot’s deft handling of the incident draw praise for the company. “If I have the chance, I will definitely take this airline,” one commenter wrote.
機長對事故的俐落處理也使公司得到了稱讚。「有機會一定要搭乘一次四川航空。」一位評論者這麼表示。
Others remained skeptical of the airline’s portrayal of the incident. “The pilot is indeed awesome, but why is this the only thing broadcasted?” one user asked. “This clearly is Sichuan Airlines’ accident. Sichuan Airlines’ public relations team is quite clever at crisis management.”
另一些人懷疑航空公司對本次事故的描述。「機長是很狂,可為什麼只單單宣揚這個?」一位網友問道。「這明明是四川航空的事故啊,他們的公關處理滿有才的啊。」
China’s aviation institutions are known to be especially risk-averse. Flights at major Chinese airports, for example, are typically spaced farther apart than they would be in Europe or the United States to minimize the chances of an accident — a precaution that increases flight delays.
中國的航空機構向來特別注重風險迴避。例如在中國的主要機場,航班間隔通常比歐洲或美國大,以減少事故發生的可能—也因這樣的預防措施增加了航班的延誤。
The Sichuan Airlines incident is at least the world’s second broken-window incident of the year aboard a commercial plane.
四川航空事件至少是今年全球第二起商用飛機窗戶破裂事件。
In April, when an engine exploded in midair on a Southwest Airlines flight from New York to Dallas, a gust of shrapnel blew out a window in the cabin and partially sucked a 43-year-old woman headfirst into the sky.
四月,從紐約飛往達拉斯的西南航空(Southwest Airlines)班機在半空中發生引擎爆炸,碎片擊破了一扇窗戶,將一名43歲女子以頭部朝向前方的方式把她一部分身體吸到了機艙外。
She was dragged back into the plane but later pronounced dead from what medical examiners called blunt trauma to her head, neck and torso. Seven others on that flight suffered minor injuries.
她被拉回了機艙,但後來被宣告死亡。醫療檢驗人員稱她是因頭部、頸部和身體受到鈍挫傷。班機上另有七人受了輕傷。

Hello Youtube Family,
Finally able to upload our Istanbul vlog (again)!! YEY! Sorry about the delay. I know you guys have been waiting for this one. Editing this made me miss Turkey so bad. Tim and I set off to Istanbul not knowing what to expect. We had the most fun exploring the beautiful city while meeting new friends along the way. We're so honoured to be part of such a fun project. Tim’s favourite part was the food (as always) and mine was the vibrant markets. Stay tuned for the next travel vlog coming up soon. We go paragliding!!
Love, the Bubz family xo
