Another Chinese Voice in the English Blogosphere
Via CDT, Chinese journalist-blogger Michael Anti (ZHAO JING) now has a blog in English. (This would make another addition to the Chinese View category in the China Blog List. )
But what striked me most in the announcement was this remark Anti made when explaining the motivations behind his English blog.
P.S. Chinese blogger Wozy writes about his blogging experience in China in this month's edition of Wired magazine. Many people with simliar experiences like Wozy would have given up on blogging the first or second time when they were forced to move their blog. But Wozy is very persistent. He said: "Even if my blog is censored 100 times, I will write it for the 101st. I will never give up."
"From today on, I will translate the latest focus of discussions by Chinese intellectuals on http://mranti.blog.com（now changed to http://mranti.blogneo.com/）. The original length of the Chinese articles is about 1500 characters. I do not limit the selection of camps. To make it easy for classification and search, I will carefully choose the following labels which they self-claim but are also accepted by others to label them: governmental scholars, Marxists, Mao leftists, new leftists, democrats, libertarians, constitutionalists, cultural conservatives, political conservatives, liberal conservatives, environmental leftists, women's rights activists, science-ists etc. What I try to do is to display the full spectrum of Chinese political thought, and use professional standards to choose, edit and translate these writings. No matter what they say, it will be the real voices of Chinese intellectuals today."
But what striked me most in the announcement was this remark Anti made when explaining the motivations behind his English blog.
"Things that have not been expressed in English perhaps never seemed to have really exist in the world."
