原文访谈：A Conversation With Google’s Chairman and CEO

谈到了比较关键两点：

Q：Why did you announce this publicly rather than go to the Chinese government and try to work things out? – 为什么不先与中国 GOV 来沟通，而是把整件事情公诸于众？

A：We are going to the Chinese government, and we hope we can work things out. But we want to be transparent. We don’t want to keep secrets. So we decided to first make a public announcement and now we are having discussions with the Chinese government.

Google 希望与中国的 GOV 沟通来解决这件事情，但是前提是透明化，而不是私底下秘密的进行。

Q:Do you believe that China can still globalize while maintaining its censorship system? – 对于中国在全球化的进程中仍然维持的审查制度如何看待？

A：But China is placing restrictions on information that few countries place. China is the only country in the world where Google was willing to offer a local site that followed the regime’s censorship laws. We haven’t done this anywhere else. Other countries sometimes block, say, YouTube for a few weeks. But then we talk to them, point out that they were offended by one video out of literally hundreds of millions. And we work things out. So, China places unique limits on information.

中国是少数几个对信息采取限制的国家，但是谷歌中国是 Google 唯一一家建立了当地站点并同时遵循当地审查法律网站，仅此一家。Google 在其他国家也存在旗下网站被封锁的情况，例如时不时抽风的 Youtube。但是沟通过后，从数以千万的视频中指出那个不合法的视频，移除它，就重新 OK 了。中国却不是如此。

第一点，说明 Google 不懂中国的人情世故，是不是应该像百度学学，上上春晚；第二点，说明中国的头头们，明显的是希望 Youtube 上全是 《党的政策亚克西》。

Google 不可能这般撤出中国，突然想起《十月围城》中那句闻一多的台词，是不是 Eric Schmidt 应该在 Youtube 上吼上一嗓子：

无耻啊，无耻！这是 XXX 的无耻，恰是 Google 的光荣！
