如何戳穿一些所谓“中国专家”的西方反华媒体和学者的嘴脸？近日，居住在中国苏州的英国视频博主常鹰（Curt McArdle），用一张中国社保卡在海外社交媒体“钓鱼”，结果轻松“钓”到了一波反华媒体和所谓的“中国问题专家”。他拍摄视频分享了这次经历，在中国和海外社交媒体上引发热议。

 

British YouTuber, Curt McArdle, who lives in China duped three "prominent" China experts into believing that a card with bold Chinese characters translated to "social security card" written on it was a "positive content payment card" from the Chinese government. McArdle shared the story on why and how he orchestrated the prank in a video and uploaded it online which later sparked heated discussions in China and abroad.

 

据《环球时报》报道，常鹰今年27岁，是一名定居在中国的英国电影制作人。他在视频中介绍，自己此前曾在内蒙古居住过，2021年搬到了苏州，时常会拍摄一些在中国生活、工作的视频。

常鹰表示，很多反华账号及媒体一直在造谣说任何像他一样对中国做出正面评价的人，都是中国政府资助的。因为这些造谣，常鹰经常在海外网站上遭到骚扰和辱骂，甚至他的家人和朋友们也受到牵连。于是，忍无可忍的他决定，做出一次反击。

 

他想了一招，向国外一个反华社交账号发了张自己的中国社保卡照片，称这是一张“好评返现卡（positive content payment card）”，也就是只要发表关于中国的正面言论，便可凭此卡获得中国政府的资助。他还假装自己最近没有收到“宣传费”，令自己看上去是一些外媒口中“中国政府雇用的宣传人员”：

 

 

“嗨伙计，我还在用上次会议上收到的‘好评返现卡’，但这个月我还没有收到钱。你能告诉我怎么搞定吗？”

 

发完这条消息后，他又赶紧留言表示自己“发错人了”，假装想要赶紧销毁“证据”的样子，“你知道我怎么才能删除这条消息吗？”

 

As one of the foreigners being smeared and attacked online, McArdle decided to fight back with a prank — he left messages for some social media accounts that usually engage in disinformation about China, in which he pretended to be hired by the Chinese government and sent a picture of a social security card in China with the message, "Hi mate, I'm still using the same 'positive content payment card' I got at our last meeting but I haven't been paid this month. Let me know what I can do to fix it." He continued to write that he had sent the message to the wrong person and inquired how to delete the message.

 

没想到，该反华媒体账号真的 “上钩”了。

 

尽管卡上写了大大的五个字——“社会保障卡”，但该反华账号完全无视或者根本没看懂汉字，迫不及待地在推特上发布了常鹰的留言截图，暗示抓住了“中国雇佣外国博主发帖宣传”的证据并广为传播。

 

更讽刺的是，这条内容还“钓”到了其他几条“大鱼”。

 

所谓的“中国专家”——经常关注所谓“人权”问题的英国反华政客裴伦德，就转发了该反华账号的相关内容，并写道“这……是真的吗？”；

 

自称是康奈尔大学讲师、研究中国和东南亚地区民族关系及政治人类学的马格努斯·菲斯克乔也“上钩”了，他转发了相关内容并配文：“这些政府水军就是这样收到报酬的”；

 

此外，另一位反华人士，美国共和党海外事务组织副主席俞怀松也转发了相关内容，并借此继续污蔑中国。

 

Although the Chinese characters of "Social Security Card" are so boldly printed on the card, anyone with any level of proficiency in Chinese would understand that it has nothing to do with bank accounts but can be used for medical and elderly insurance; some people have been fooled and caught flat-footed.

 

Luke de Pulford, who claimed to be a human rights campaigner in the UK, particularly "in the areas of modern slavery and human rights abuses in China" reposted a screen shot that showed McArdle's messages and commented, "Is this… for real?" Magnus Fiskesjö, who claims to be a teacher from the Cornell University and whose research concerns ethnic relations and political anthropology in China and Southeast Asia, commented, "How pro-regime trolls get paid." And Solomon Yue, a Chinese American Republican Party activitist, also posted the screenshot of McArdle's message and later made several posts to mock McArdle.

 

这出精心策划的“钓鱼”闹剧，让常鹰笑了一整天。因为但凡对中国有点了解的人都知道，这是一张让中国人民享受社会保障服务的卡，内容包含医疗保险、养老保险等，几乎人手一张，参加社保的外籍人士持有效证件也可办理中国的社保卡，所以压根就不是什么“收取宣传费的取款卡”。

 

常鹰录制视频讲述了这次“钓鱼”的过程，并在1月18日上传到了自己的YouTube频道上。此外，他也在推特上转发了自己的这个视频。目前视频播放量已经超过14,655次。

 

Seeing these people get duped by such a simple trick made McArdle laugh for a whole day. 

 

He shared this story on a video and uploaded it on his YouTube account on January 18. As of press time, the video has received more than 14,655 views and attracted lots of attention in China and beyond.

 

在视频中，常鹰提醒外国网友，以后看到这些著名的所谓“中国专家”再发表任何有关中国的“高见”时，要保持清醒和思考，因为他们其中很多人可能连最基本的中文都看不懂，也对中国的生活一无所知。 

 

“他们这些专家，对中国人的生活一无所知。但凡来过这里的人都知道，那是一张社保卡。任何一个国际问题专家，至少应该能看懂这个国家的语言。这些人关于中国的声音都会被放大，这真的非常令人担忧。因为BBC、《纽约时报》、CNN会和他们交流，引用他们的观点，会把他们当作懂中国的权威一样对待。事实上，他们不会中文，也对这里的生活一无所知。我一直觉得这些人甚至都不相信他们自己说的话。他们就是一群利用人们的无知来赚钱的投机分子。”

 

“These are the experts. These people know nothing about life in China. Anyone who spent time here will know that is a social security card. Anyone who is an expert on a country should at least be able to read the language. It's really really concerning that these are the amplified voices on China. These are the people that BBC and New York Times, CNN will speak to and they will quote. They will treat them like they are the authority on China. And they can't read the language, they don't know anything about life here,” McArdle said.

 

"My gut instinct has always been that these people don't even really believe the things they say. They are opportunists who capitalize on people's ignorance to make a bit of money."

 

常鹰玩的这波“钓鱼”，在海外社交媒体上引发热议。有网友跟帖晒出自己的“好评返现卡”，反讽回怼反华账号。

 

“给我个更好的报价，我也能为你服务。”

 

“视频很棒！完全揭露了现在的情况：这些所谓的中国专家愿意将任何看起来负面的证据传播出去，管它是真是假。顺便提一句，这些专家甚至都没在中国住过多长时间。

 

“到底是机智的常鹰‘钓鱼’能力太强，还是这些‘鱼儿’太蠢？这是个问题。”

 

“我认识一些连中国话都不会说的朋友告诉我，他们知道中国的真相，并且告诫我要‘保持清醒’。眼见为实已经是过去式了，现在是信什么才能看见什么。”

 

“这证明了这些所谓‘中国专家’只不过是向恐华人士贩卖自己仇恨及种族歧视的骗子。”

 

“这种水平的‘专家’在中国是根本找不到工作的。竟然有西方政府引用他们当作消息源，难以置信。真令人担忧！”

 

与常鹰有过类似经历的加拿大视频博主丹尼尔·邓布尔（Daniel Dumbrill）也在推特发文声援常鹰。

 

“这件事很搞笑，但也很有用。它能够帮助大家认识到，为了满足自己疯狂的谬论，裴伦德这类‘精英’愿意相信任何涉及反华的内容，哪怕是这种再明显不过的胡扯。”

 

据报道，定居在深圳的丹尼尔·邓布尔曾在海外社交媒体发视频揭穿西方涉疆谎言，因此遭到西方媒体诬告。

 

不过，常鹰告诉《环球时报》记者，让人失望的是，这些反华人士在得知自己被戏弄后，目前都没有联系他，“我乐于与人辩论，但遗憾的是这些人似乎并不想。我估计他们宁愿假装什么都没发生过。”

 

Despite the discussions over the incident, none of the above "China experts" contacted McArdle.

 

"I'm always happy for a debate with people, so it's a pity that they didn't feel comfortable doing so. I think they would rather just pretend it didn't happen," said McArdle.
