Taiwan, China...

台灣，中國

what's the difference?

有什麼不同？

Hi, welcome to China Uncensored.

歡迎收看中國解密

I'm your host, Chris Chappell.

我是主持人 Chris Chappell

I’ve never been to Kenya,

我從沒到過肯亞

and I certainly haven’t been arrested there.

肯定也沒在那裏遭到逮捕過

But I hear their jails are great!

但我聽說他們的監獄很棒！

Or at least, I presume they must be.

至少，我以為是這樣

That would explain why these 15 Taiwanese citizens

那樣才能說明為什麼這 15 名 被關在肯亞奈洛比的台灣人

in Nairobi, Kenya attempted to barricade themselves in a jail cell.

試著將自己關在那裏的監牢裡

Unfortunately, their delightful detainment wasn’t to last.

不幸的是，愉快的監禁日子持續不長

A few moments later,

沒多久

Kenyan police busted the door down,

肯亞警方便破門而入

grabbed them, and put them on an airplane.

抓走他們，並將他們送上飛機

And deported them to China.

遣送至中國

This China, not this China.

是這個中國，不是這個

Even though they’re from this China.

即使他們來自這個中國

And if you’re not familiar with the “One China” policy

如果你不熟悉一個中國政策

that says that both of these regions are China, watch this video.

主張這兩國都是中國 那請看這部影片

And if you are familiar with the “One China” policy,

但是如果你熟悉一個中國政策

you know why this awkward

你就會知道為什麼

sending-Taiwanese-citizens-to-mainland-China thing

把台灣人送去中國這件怪事

is such a big deal.

非同小可

Here’s what happened:

事情是這樣的

These 15 people are part of a group of 45 Taiwan citizens

這 15 人與其他被告共 45 人

who faced charges in Kenya for telecom fraud.

在肯亞被控告電信詐欺

They had been accused of defrauding people in mainland China

他們被控告詐騙中國人民

of more than $93 million dollars in a series of scams.

連續詐騙所得超過九千三百萬美金

I can only assume they pretended to be African princes

我只能假設他們假裝自己是非洲王子

seeking to "transfer funds" to unsuspecting victims.

想要將「資金移轉」至無辜的受害者 [非洲王子需要我的幫助，這裡是我的銀行帳戶]

Anyway, I'm not saying they didn't commit fraud.

總之，我並沒有說他們沒犯下詐欺案

But they were acquitted by the Kenyan court.

但他們在肯亞的法庭被判無罪

That is, not guilty.

也就是沒有犯罪

Yet the government of mainland China insisted

但中國政府卻堅持

that Kenya send these Taiwanese to mainland China for “investigation.”

肯亞當局要將這群台灣人 遣送至中國接受「調查」

As Kenya's Interior Ministry spokesperson put it,

肯亞的內政部發言人說：

"They came from China and we took them to China.”

「他們來自中國，我們將他們送回中國。」

Now it’s not that Kenyan officials are too dumb to realize

肯亞當局當然不會笨到不知道

that being from China and being from Taiwan are not the same thing.

來自中國和來自台灣不可相提並論

They just want to respect the "One China” policy,

他們只是出於尊重「一個中國政策」

where Kenya only recognizes the CCP, and not the Taiwan government,

只承認中國共產黨而非台灣政府

as the legitimate rulers of all China.

為全中國的合法統治者

As a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson put it,

就如中國外交部發言人所說：

"Countries which follow the 'One China' principle are worthy of approval."

「世界上各國政府堅持一個中國的政策是值得肯定的。」

But while Kenya may get a gold star from the CCP,

正當肯亞政府獲得中共政府的獎勵

they're actually violating their own policy.

實際上卻違反肯亞自身的政策

Because the Kenyan court issued an order to not deport these people.

因為肯亞法庭下令不要遣送這些台灣人

So why would they do it? Could it possibly have to do with...

所以他們為什麼這麼做？有沒有可能…

money?

跟錢有關？

Now I'm not saying these Taiwanese citizens didn't commit fraud.

我不是說這些台灣人沒有犯下詐欺罪

You may be innocent unless proven guilty in America.

在美國，一個人在法院上會被假定為無罪直到證實為有罪

And in Kenya.

在肯亞

And in Taiwan.

在台灣也都是一樣

But in mainland China, you're only innocent

但是在中國大陸，一個人會被假定為無罪

until you're forced to confess on state-run television.

直到上國營媒體認罪

Because that’s actually what happened.

因為整件事就是這樣進行的

And if this case is any indication,

如果這件案子有任何啟示的話

now it could potentially happen to any Taiwanese citizen

那就是任何在海外遭指控犯罪的台灣人

accused of a crime overseas—

都有可能發生同樣的事情

even if they’re found not guilty.

就算他們獲判無罪

So what do you think?

你怎麼看這件事？
