In a week dominated by controversy over China’s soft power forays in Australian politics a new report recommends the Australian government take practical steps to level the playing field and exert some soft power of its own.

中国软实力对澳洲政治的影响成为本周最具争议的新闻头条，而一份新的报告建议澳洲政府采取实际措施平衡影响并施加自己的软实力。

The report from Wanning Sun professor of media and communication at the University of Technology Sydney suggests the Australian government “could take the opportunity to use Chinese online media to exert Australian soft power and explain its position on controversial matters such as the South China Sea dispute.”

这个报告来自于孙万宁（音译），悉尼科技大学的媒体和通讯平台领域的教授，他建议澳大利亚政府“能够把握机会通过中国网络媒体平台展现澳大利亚的软实力，同时阐述澳大利亚在争议性话题上的立场，如南海争端。”

It also suggests Australian business interests should be much more active on Chinese social media sites like WeChat.

他同时建议澳大利亚企业界应当更主动的在中国社会的媒体网站上采取积极行动，如微信。

The new analysis considers whether or not Chinese media outlets in Australia are now little more than propagandists for the regime at home.

这份新的报告考量了中国媒体平台在澳洲是否为中国政权进行政治宣传。

It notes that Chinese-language media in Australia used to be dominated by outlets catering to earlier Cantonese-speaking generations.

该报告称澳洲的中文媒体以往服务于讲粤语的华人。

“Nowadays a vibrant media landscape has emerged that targets a Mandarin-speaking migrant community from the People’s Republic of China” the report says. “Accompanying this shift in consumer demographic has been a discernible shift from a mostly critical coverage of China to a mostly supportive stance.”

“如今，一幅生动的媒体风景画已经出现，他们以从中国大陆来的讲普通话的移民群体为目标”报道提到“伴随着人口统计上的消费者群体的变迁，这些媒体可以明显看出已经开始从过去对中国批判性的报道转为了大多数积极赞赏的立场。”

The analysis notes that the shift in tone has happened during a period where the Chinese state-run media has become “to some extent integrated with Chinese media in Australia.”

这个分析注意到，这种基调上的变化始于中国国有媒体“在一定程度上与在澳大利亚的中国媒体相结合”的时期。

“That said there is little clear evidence that such localised propaganda has a direct impact on Chinese-speaking audiences let alone the broader Australian community” the report says noting Chinese migrants are often sceptical about state media and have access outside China to a range of publications and points of view.

“即便如此，没多少清楚的证据表明这些局部宣传语对于普通话受众的有直接的影响，更不必说对更广泛的澳洲社区造成影响了”该报告还提到，中国移民通常对国家媒体抱有怀疑，出国后他们可以获取一系列的媒体刊物和诸多观点。

The report follows a week of controversy after it was revealed the Labor senator Sam Dastyari asked a Chinese businessman to cover a travel overspend.

在这篇报告出炉之前，有报道披露称工党参议员 Sam Dastyari 请求一名中国商人支付自己的旅游超支费用，这个事件引发了人们长达一周的讨论。

In asking for and accepting a payment of $1670.82 from a businessman Minshen Zhu Dastyari said he had “fallen short” in his duty as a member of parliament and he resigned from the Labor front bench on Wednesday evening.

在要求和接受了中国商人祝敏申提供的1670.82美元资金后， Dastyari 称自己没能履行好作为国会议员的职责并于周三晚上辞去了前座议员的职务。
（备注：前座议员：英国议会下院中的成员。根据英国惯例， 下院开会时，执政党议会党团领袖、反对党影子内阁成员、在政府中任职的议员等均坐在前排议席，故称。普通议员一般坐在后排议席，称为后座议员。来自百度百科）

The imbroglio has triggered a conversation about China’s exercise of soft power in this country through business and political networks and there is now a significant push on to ban foreign donations as part of an overhaul of the donations and disclosure system.

这种错综复杂的局面引发了人们对中国通过商业和政治网络对澳洲施加软实力的讨论，现在澳洲有大量声音呼吁加大力度禁止外国捐赠，从而对澳洲的捐赠和信息披露系统进行大修整。

Of course we've all forgotten about the Liberal party's use and abuse of so called Chinese social media soft power in Chisolm in the last election.

我们当然都忘记了上次大选时自由党在chisolm对所谓的中国社交媒体这种软实力的利用和个中鄙行

They managed to spread propaganda and lies that were most effective most notably a vote for Labor was a vote for bestiality as part of the marriage equality debate.

他们努力去扩大宣传和传播谣言说对工党的投票就是对兽行的投票，这是对婚姻平等问题的讨论的一个方面

Needless to say no one called the cops.

更不用说没人去找警察了

Of course you forgot about the ALP's lie on social media ( plus massive texting scandal) about the LNP "privatising Medicare".....

你当然也忘记了工党在社交媒体上关于自由国家联盟（译注：即澳大利亚自由党和澳大利亚国家党的联盟）的医疗保健私营化政策的谎言（还有他们大量的短信丑闻）

mostlygrey Carstendog 4d ago
Yes but that got legs because we all know the LNP have been snipping around the edges of Medicare for sometime so it's not altogether a lie.

但这话（指上文那个工党的谎言）也不是不靠谱，因为大家都知道自由国家联盟一直在医疗保健领域的边沿上打转，所以这不算一个完全的谎言

Um I believe that the LNP did call the cops on that one

呃……我相信那会（译注：指第一条涉及事件）自由国家联盟确实叫了警察

While influencing the Chinese has some merit the bigger issue is controlling a fifth column in Australia that actively seeks to influence government decisions that favour the PRC at the expense of Australian interests. There is enough evidence to show both the ALP and the LNP are open to this influence. This is a national security issue that dwarfs the war on terrorism.

虽然影响中国人是有一点好处，但是更重要的事情是如何控制澳洲的第五纵队，这些媒体试图影响澳洲政府的决策，牺牲澳洲利益，最终服务于中国的利益。有足够的证据证明工党和自由国家联盟对这种影响都持开放态度。这是一个让反恐战争都相形见绌的国家安全问题。

Instead of exerting 'soft power' for political purposes how about we focus on generating more jobs for Australians?

与其将这种软实力用在政治目的上，何如关注一下给澳大利亚人创造更多工作方面？

From what I know Tourism Australia is doing quite well on Weibo with over half a million (roughly 530000) followers. Chinese tourists spent an average of nearly $8000 a visit in 2015 or $8.9 billion in total over the year to March.

就我所知澳洲旅游协会在微博上已经做得很好了，他们有大约53万粉丝。在2015年，中国游客每年每人平均花费近8000美元，去年整年到今年三月，他们总共花了89亿美元

I'd rather Turnbell use that 'soft power' to create more jobs for Australians than jeopardising the relationship with our largest trading partner over a few islands that are thousands of kilometres away from Australia.

与为了几千公里之外的几个破岛而将与我们最大贸易伙伴的关系置于炉上相比，我更想转而去利用这个“软实力”去为澳大利亚人创造更多的工作。

Fully concur. We also have to remember the dispute over the South China Sea is with some ASEAN countries who have largely taken a softly softly approach. The PRC has been effective in getting elites in those countries through financial incentives to go along with what is happening. There is little Australia or even the US can effectively do when ASEAN resistance is negligible.

完全同意。我们也不得不记起与中国在南海的有争议是使用着很柔和很柔和方式的东盟国家。中国通过经济刺激使这些国家的精英附和中国要做的事并且这种方法很有效。所以如果东盟的抵抗都微不足道时，澳洲利亚甚至是美国都没啥好法子了。

Yes im sure the good people of China would spend as much money as possible buying literally EVERYTHING Australian..... Land Power Ports Water... (air??)

是的我很确定中国的好人会花尽可能多的钱去真正的购买澳洲的所有东西。土地 能源 港口（空气？？）

How is this good for Australia though.

这对澳大利亚有什么好处呢

Sounds more like a painful death to me.

听起来更像痛苦的死亡对我来说

International institutions sound lovely in theory but they have no power or influence over superpowers they're just shaped by them.

国际组织说的理论都很好听但是他们没有能力或者影响力在超级大国之上。这些组织是被这些大国所塑造的。

ASEAN is the perfect example. As you mention China has already been successful in influencing ASEAN countries to ensure they don't work as a bloc on the South East Sea issue. May as well close the issue there.

东盟是个很好的例子。就像你说的中国已经成功的影响到了东盟国家并保证他们不能在东南海（译者注：说的应该是南海）事情上运作的像一个联盟。不妨就在那里结束了这个问题吧。

Sick to death of this hypocrisy. If Chinese battleships cruised into the waters off Cuba the US would tell them to piss off in around 20 seconds flat. This despite the fact that no one actually owns the seas and oceans

这种虚伪真的恶心死了。如果中国战舰巡航到了古巴水域美国会断然地告诉他们20秒左右赶紧滚，尽管事实是没人拥有这篇海或洋。

"the US would tell them to piss off in around 20 seconds flat"
Probably true enough but SE Asian countries are sharing their concerns with the US re South China Sea and China is trying to exert influence on the oceans and the seas that are owned by no one.

“美国会断然地告诉他们20秒左右赶紧滚”
或许这很对但是东南亚国家正在与美国分享他们的关于南海的担忧：中国正在试图在这片海洋施加影响但是这片海其实是没有人拥有的。
