主题：【整理】大哉，马凯硕之问。 -- 凤兮凤兮

马凯硕不客气地回答，“你的问题完美暴露了西方媒体对中国的偏见认知。”

In the video, which was shot during a forum on China held in Singapore in 2021, a Western reporter claimed China's success was based on "high-level repression" in his question. In response, Kishore Mahbubani, a Singapore-based scholar and former diplomat, said the question shows the "distorted perspective" of reality in the media's perception of China.

马凯硕首先针对记者采用的“压迫”一词，指出其谬误：

Let's take the first word you use, "repression". If the Communist Party of China only relied on repression to stay in power, it would not create the most dynamic economy in the world, right?

就以你用的第一个词“压迫”为例，如果中国共产党只能靠压迫来维持政权，它就不可能创造出世界上最具活力的经济体。

......

摆完各种证据后，他总结道：

So all your descriptions capture the natural distortions of China that you get in the Anglo-Saxon media which violate the rules of the Enlightenment which say that you must be rational, calm and objective, especially in understanding your adversary.

你的一切描述，都展现了盎格鲁-撒克逊媒体对中国下意识的歪曲与偏见。这违反了启蒙运动的信条，即保持理性、冷静与客观。在了解你的对手时，尤其需要如此。
