近日，加拿大視頻博主柯克·阿佩蘭（Kirk Apesland）在中國隔離期間發布的一則視頻火了！

自疫情暴發以來，西方媒體歪曲事實的報道層出不窮。在廣西南寧隔離第十一天的柯克·阿佩蘭決定在自己的視頻節目Gweilo 60上揭批外媒。

We all know that the Western media will tell negative stories about China. And I'm not just talking the United States, Canada, Great Britain, but pretty well every Five Eyes country or anybody that's sort ofaffiliated with them, like Japan. Well,I'm not even gonna say Taiwanregion, because Taiwanregionis China.

They go down the same road with the manipulation of the media, but it's not justthe storiesthat they tell you in the news. It's the way that they portrayit. It's the language manipulation that they use.

China doesn't fire officials. They purgethem.

Corrupt Chinese officials don't get convicted for corruption, they lose power struggles.

Chinese leaders don't strengthen laws. They concentrate power.

China doesn't give out loans. They trap countries in debt. Oh yeah, well I've heard that a lot on the Belt and Road Initiative.

Chinese leaders don't want their country to prosper peacefully. They are obsessed with stability.

Countries and international organizations don't praise China. They pander to the increasing global influence.

Chinese people don't attend rallies. They descend upon them.

The Chinese media doesn't report news. It reports propaganda. This is the biggest one.

China doesn't revise counting methodologies. It underreports cases.China doesn't revise counting methodologies. It underreports cases. Think about that one. Doesn't matter which numbers they take out and put out in the public, in the news, give their international partners. It's not true is what they're saying. They're underreported if it's bad.If it's good, well then it's over-reported. Of course, you know what I mean?

China doesn't treat patients. It rounds them up.

China doesn't requisition private hospitals during the health emergency by passing laws. It seizes them. It doesn't requisition. It seizes them.

Chinese people are not patriotic. They're brainwashed.

I hear that from all of theAlt-Right people that... the haters, the Trumpanomics people out of the United States. And there's a lot of Democratsthat are doing exactly the same thing, brainwash this and brainwash that...Well, you know, if that's the way you think, maybe you're the one that's brainwashed.

China's government doesn't face governance challenges.

China companiesdon't innovate. They steal IP. Yeah. And that's been a big thing in the news, the Trumpanomics news over the last number of years.

Chinese celebrities don't love their country and post patriotic messages on social media. They pander to the CCP and nationalistic fans. I get that all the time, guys. Pander, bootlicker, commie shell, all of these things. Yes.

Hong Kong rioters don't storm and destroy Legco. The Hong Kong police stand back and let them do it.

Hong Kong rioters, don't beat and burn and kill civilians, commit arson, build bombs, destroy subway stations, set fires to buildings, block traffic. They retaliate against police brutality.

Citizens of unfriendly countries don't display patriotism. They display nationalism.

You see, all of these words that they use to manipulate thenews in the Western world.But they're notjust manipulating the news, they're manipulating you and me as Western viewersof the news. And it's one of those things that they do it very well. They've been doing it for years and years and years.

You know, you got the Trumpanomic boys and stuff with the Fox News. You got the Democrats with CNN.

In Canada, the CBC is a Liberal thing. The Conservatives, I don't think have any really big news thing, channel on their side. But the Conservatives have social media locked up solid. They're really good onsocial media where you look at the Liberals and they get bashed on social media.

The media in the West, you can't trust them anymore. When I was a kid, you used to be able to trust what they would say. I know that.

常年生活在中國，柯克·阿佩蘭認為：“但在中國，不同的是，如果他們看到世界上發生了一些好事，就算是發生在美國、加拿大、英國或任何地方，他們都會報道。中國媒體會說這是個好消息。”

Sure, in China, there's news and they lean towards their political beliefs in China, too. But the difference in China is that if they see something good happening around the world, even in the United States or Canada or Great Britain or anywhere, they actually report. And they say this is good news.

“而在西方世界，當中國做了好事時，比如這次新冠肺炎疫情，加拿大的新聞就說，臺灣地區做得很棒，韓國在抗擊蔓延全球的新冠肺炎疫情上做得很好，對中國只字未提。”

While in theWest, when China does something good, like you look atthis last CV thing, the Canadian news came on there and said, Taiwanregionand South Korea did a great job at fighting this CV thing that's going around the world right now. No mention of China.

Well, they did mention China because of the province of Taiwan. But most of these Canadian people, they don't understand the difference. So you have to just say they're ignorant.

But the idea is that they won't, they can't. There must be an unwritten rule or maybe it's a written rule in these news organizations that you're not supposed to say anything positive about China.

這里是加拿大魁北克。我從來沒見過任何關于中國的正面報道，媒體總是感覺在遮遮掩掩些什么。我70歲了，一直都關心政治話題。反共產主義根植在我們的文化里，伴隨我們整個人生。當我談論起中國和其成就時，不論是哪方面的內容，比如8億人口脫貧，或醫療保險方面的話題，從來沒人相信我。即使我援引聯合國的數據，他們也不信。所以我說，政治宣傳和“垃圾話”在我們的文化中是根深蒂固的。

西方仍然有人相信地球是平的。和這樣認知水平的人有什么好爭論的。

大多數西方媒體不愿意面對事實，即中國正在有條不紊地處理疫情，成效卓著；然而他們自己的政府倒是手忙腳亂，處理不當。西方媒體已經習慣帶著偏見看中國了，很難改變。

這個主題很棒。就在兩天前，我在Flipboard上看到了一篇稱贊中國援助的文章，我剛想要讀，就被刪掉了！這是我第一次看到Flipboard上的文章被刪掉。在那以后我知道了他們就是不允許夸中國的文章存在，我就把這個應用卸載了。這也太不公平了，太可悲了。我們再也不能相信任何西方媒體了。

仇華的人編造了很多關于中國的負面新聞。我只有一個問題：如果中國方方面面都如此不堪一擊、糟糕邪惡，美國為什么要這么怕中國？為什么美國想盡一切辦法不讓華為進美國？

They had always heard that China was a place with a Communist government and they considered it dangerous. I tried telling them that this was just not true but I couldn't get them to understand.

親朋好友一直聽說中國是一個有共產主義政府的國家，他們認為很危險。我想告訴他們這不是真的，但我失敗了。

I thought then that I would show them the real China that I have grown to love and the only way I knew how to do this was to make videos so they could actually see what I see.

然后，我想我可以給他們展現我所愛的中國、真正的中國。我能想到的唯一辦法就是拍視頻，讓他們能見我所見、聞我所聞。

This turned a lot of them to understand that China was basically the same as their country. The big difference was the culture, food, people, climate and the beauty of the country side.

通過視頻，他們終于明白了，中國和他們的國家基本上是一樣的。最大的區別就是文化、食物、人民、氣候和風光了。

The rhetoric was being spread in thepolitical circles in a number of countries and by mainstream media. I tried to explain to the masses that the truth was not being told to them by these politiciansand journalists.
