如果中国人是自由的，为什么我看不到批评中国的人？

答主：Jamie Wang, Born and raised in China, had lived in Swiss and Germany

并不是你看不到批评中国的人，而是Quora的运作方式并非如此。为了看到你想要的回答，你需要先提一个正确的问题。

假设这里有一个人叫约翰，他是个烟民，喜欢红色万宝路。他有时候会在别人在场时抽烟，包括他6岁大的女儿。

如果你想要看别人批评约翰，那你就要问“约翰有什么坏习惯？”或“你认为约翰可以做些什么来提升自己？”这样的问题。

但是，你绝大多数针对他的问题是这样的：

·我听说约翰杀了300人。为什么没有人对此采取行动？
·约翰强奸了他女儿，我们该做些什么？
·BBC说约翰使用巨量毒品，这对他女儿是否危险？

你希望在这些问题下看到什么？人们只会争辩并告诉你约翰如何不是你说的那样。

然后你又提问：“如果约翰周围的人是自由而不受威胁的，为什么我看不到批评约翰的人？”

It’s not that you cannot see people criticizing China, because it’s not how Quora works. You need to ask a correct question just to see the answers you want.

Say there is a person called John, who is a smoker and likes red Marlboro. He sometimes smoke when others are present, including his 6 year old daughter.

If you want to see people criticizing about John, then you should ask questions such as “What bad habbit does John have?” or “Do you think there is anything that John could do to improve himself?”

Instead, most of your questions against him are like these:

·I heard people saying that John mudered 300 people. Why no one is taking any action?
·John raped his daughter, should we do something about it?
·BBC says John uses huge amount of drugs, is it dangerous for his daughter?

What do you expect to see with these questions? People argueing and telling your about how John is not what you are told.

Then you ask: “Why I cannot see people criticizing John if people around him are free from being threatened?”
