Social-networking sites like Facebook and Twitter are banned in China by the ruling communist regime. And now their top-think tank is calling them potential risks to national security.
社群网站如脸书和推特，在中国都是被共产政权当局禁止的。而现在他们的最高智囊团又称，这些社群网站对国家安全有潜在的风险。
State-backed Chinese Academy of Social Sciences—or CASS—published their “Report on the Development of China’s New Media 2010.” It acknowledges the growing popularity of social-networking sites, and says, “Some Web sites including Facebook, which are utilized by intelligence agencies in the Western countries, caused people to fear their specific political functions."
国家支持的中国社会科学院，又称CASS（中科院），发表了他们的“2010 中国新媒体发展报告”。报告中肯定了社群网站的日益普及，并且说：“有些网站，包括脸书，在西方国家被一些情报机构利用，让人民害怕它特殊的政治功能。”
But a press-freedom advocate Oiwan Lam from Hong Kong In Media, tells Radio Free Asia that Western social-networking sites are being singled out for another reason.
但是在香港独立媒体工作、倡导新闻自由的林蔼云告诉亚洲自由电台，西方社群网站被挑出来讲的另一个原因。
[Oiwan Lam, Hong Kong In Media]:
“[The regime] is targeting Facebook because it’s targeting new-media from overseas. Because in terms of their basic functions and technicalities, I don’t think Facebook is different from Chinese social-networking sites. The only difference is whether these sites will cooperate with authorities to follow censorship requirements.”
[林蔼云，香港独立媒体]：
“‘当政者’针对脸书其实是在针对海外的新媒体。因为就基本功能和技术面来说，我不认为脸书和中国其它的社群网站有何不同。唯一不同之处，是这些网站是否会和政府当局合作施行审查过滤制度。”
