中国互联网的成长速度令人吃惊，其互联网用户比美国，英国，俄罗斯，德国，法国和加拿大人口加起来还多。尽管中国的互联网并不完美，一度被遗忘的人们的生活还是因此而大大得到了改变，华南早报的CEO刘可瑞如是说。在这个精彩的演讲中，刘详细描述了中国科技行业的现状，如AI优化的火车路线等创新，以及像社会信用评级这样同时奖励和限制公民行为的反乌托邦措施。

我是美国科技行业的产品，
02:30
both as a consumer and a corporate leader.
47
138871
2190
既是消费者，也是公司负责人。
02:33
So I am well acquainted
with this type of fuel.
with this type of fuel.
48
141085
2600
所以我对这种燃料很熟悉。
02:36
But about a year and a half ago,
49
144750
1571
但大约一年半以前，
我从纽约的家搬到香港，
02:38
I moved from my home
in New York City to Hong Kong
in New York City to Hong Kong
50
146345
2389
02:40
to become the CEO
of the South China Morning Post.
of the South China Morning Post.
51
148758
2896
成为了华南早报的CEO。
02:43
And from this new vantage point,
52
151678
2931
在这个新的有利位置，
02:46
I've observed something
that is far less familiar to me,
that is far less familiar to me,
53
154633
3071
我们开始观察到一些
前所未有的事情，
前所未有的事情，
02:49
propelling so much of China's innovation
and many of its entrepreneurs.
and many of its entrepreneurs.
54
157728
4788
推动了中国的许多创新
和许多企业家的发展。
和许多企业家的发展。
02:55
It is an overwhelming need economy
55
163355
2605
这是一个为弱势群体服务的
02:57
that is serving
an underprivileged populous,
an underprivileged populous,
56
165984
2736
巨大需求经济，
03:00
which has been separated for 30 years
from China's economic boom.
from China's economic boom.
57
168744
3494
却被中国经济繁荣的30年排除在外。
03:05
The stark gaps that exist
between the rich and the poor,
between the rich and the poor,
58
173425
4065
富人和穷人之间，
03:09
between urban and rural
59
177514
1335
城市跟农村之间，
03:10
or the academic and the unschooled --
60
178873
2747
或者受过教育和未上学的人
之间存在明显的代沟——
之间存在明显的代沟——
03:13
these gaps, they form a soil
61
181644
2508
这些代沟为培植不可思议的
03:16
that's ready for some
incredible empowerment.
incredible empowerment.
62
184176
3615
力量提供了土壤。
03:19
So when capital and investment
become focused on the needs of people
become focused on the needs of people
63
187815
3699
所以当资本和投资开始专注于
03:23
who are hanging to the bottom rungs
of an economic ladder,
of an economic ladder,
64
191538
3738
在经济阶梯底层徘徊的人们，
03:27
that's when we start to see the internet
truly become a job creator,
truly become a job creator,
65
195300
5339
我们就开始看到互联网
真正开始创造就业机会，
真正开始创造就业机会，
03:32
an education enabler
66
200663
1459
成为教育推动者，
03:34
and in many other ways, a path forward.
67
202146
2557
以及在很多方面指引前进的方向。
03:37
Of course, China is not the only place
where this alternative fuel exists,
where this alternative fuel exists,
68
205806
3556
当然，中国不是唯一一个
存在这种替代燃料的地方，
存在这种替代燃料的地方，
03:41
nor the only place where it is possible.
69
209386
2272
也不是唯一可能实现这一切的地方。
03:44
But because of the country's sheer scale
and status as a rising superpower,
and status as a rising superpower,
70
212320
4334
但由于中国的绝对规模和
崛起中的大国地位，
崛起中的大国地位，
03:48
the needs of its population
have created an opportunity

71
216678
3023
人口的需求就创造出了
03:51
for truly compelling impact.
72
219725
2428
真正引人瞩目的影响。
03:55
When explaining the rapid growth
of the Chinese tech industry,
of the Chinese tech industry,
73
223509
3135
当观察快速增长的中国科技产业时，
03:58
many observers will cite two reasons.
74
226668
2166
很多观察者常会提到两个原因。
04:01
The first is the 1.4 billion people
that call China home.
that call China home.
75
229286
3405
首先是，有14亿人口以中国为家。
04:05
The second is the government's
active participation --
active participation --
76
233442
3516
第二个因素，是政府的积极参与——
04:08
or pervasive intervention,
depending on how you view it.
depending on how you view it.
77
236982
3174
或者是过渡干预，取决于
你如何看待这个问题。
你如何看待这个问题。
04:12
Now, the central authorities have spent
heavily on network infrastructure

78
240732

在过去几年，中央政府
对网络基础设施的

environment for investment.

04:19
At the same time, they've insisted
on standards and regulation,

81
247863

同时，他们坚持标准和监管，
04:23
which has led to fast consensus
and therefore, fast adoption.

82
251149

快速地达成了共识，
同时也在短时间内实现了普及。

because of the abundance
of educational incentives.

84
258276

这得益于大量的教育激励措施。
04:33
And local, domestic companies,
in the past, have been protected

267296
1413
得到了保护。
04:41
Of course, you cannot observe
the Chinese internet
the Chinese internet
88
269641
2388
当然，你观察中国互联网
04:44
without finding widespread censorship
89
272053
2143
就无法忽视广泛的审查，
04:46
and very serious concerns
about dystopian monitoring.

05:04
At the same time,

So it's a very mixed bag.
119
365875
1817
这背后的机制十分复杂。
06:20
The internet exists in a restricted,
arguably manipulated form within China,

中国境内的互联网存在于一种受限制，

06:30
So even in its imperfection,

因此尽管它并不完美，
06:32
the growth of the Chinese internet
should not be dismissed,
should not be dismissed,
123
380403
3023
中国互联网的成长也不容忽视，
06:35
and it's worthy of our closer examination.
124
383450
2492
值得我们的仔细审视。
06:39
Let me tell you two other stories today.
