freedom for all speech的八卦，YOUTUBE和Yahoo名人娛樂都在討論

有位媽媽msg這段錄音給我。
16歲的女生剛經歷過這樣的事情，
情緒比較激動，請見諒。
但這也是她最真切的感受。
（他們說行得正企得正不用變聲，
我唔理佢，強行用software幫她變了聲）
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

她的媽媽今早託我回覆大家：

「謝謝你，睇佐D留言，阿女一路睇一路喊，今次係感動嘅眼淚，佢覺得自己為上街為關心香港的同伴講出心聲，而原來有好多港人都好有愛，爸爸話佢今早喊住返學考試！謝謝大家！」

「我早上一早就上班了，昨晚臨睡前我和她亦再度傾談，佢思想都挺成熟的，而這次的經驗對她而言獲益良多，知道香港有很多有共同信念，共同願景的香港人！而且在此之前，她對自己的學業很緊張，緊張到我們怕她面對不起明天的DSE,但昨晚她親口說她開始釋懷，開始覺得DSE沒有那麼可怕！」

「謝謝各位，有你們讓我女兒，我們的下一代沒有陷入絕望！」

有人幫手聽著打了中英日文字版：

我今日是其中一位參與示威的人，我有一群朋友大家都是十多歲，今天(6月12日)出來不是為了打卡、不是因為朋輩影響。為什麼我們不顧一切不顧自己的安危走出來？是因為我們喜歡香港這個地方，相信香港是一個自由的地方。政府會聽我們的意見，但原來不會。
6月9號、103萬人上街，林鄭月娥(香港特首)可以把所有上街的人說的話、所表現的不當一回事。不要緊，我就當你認為我們不夠堅持，我們今天再出來。
一開始我也不敢下馬路，只敢在天橋看着示威者在樓下，我知道自己很軟弱，我在那一刻真的覺得自己很無助，我在天橋上看到在另一邊的馬路，有一位婆婆。70多80歲也願意出來，為了什麼？不是為了自己。
我作為一個中學生和同學們沒有做任何暴力的行為！而警察不斷發放催淚彈。知道我當時身處在哪裏嗎？是示威區。不單止一個催淚彈，大家都很大聲，叫你停止。告訴你們我們已經在撤退、要求你不要再放了、在走了、在疏散了。為什麼你們還要不斷在用催淚彈？你知道那邊有多少年輕人嗎？多少老人家？多少社工、基督徒？多少人走出來？
我在香港生存了16年，不能說很長，但至少這16年也讓我明白香港的核心價值在哪裏。是因為我們有自由，是因為我們以為我們在被施壓時也可以有出來抵抗、出來集會的自由。但原來並沒有，16年我所學所知的所有原來是假的。
我們的一班同學全部都很好，不顧自己先保護女生，我真的很欣賞他們。但你們到底知不知道他們多少歲？和我差不多大而己，你知不知道我有多慚愧、自責？
可能你們不知道催淚彈是什麼感受，是十分刺痛、像全身都被火燒一樣。我一邊走的時候看見在更前的人，是真的痛得只能坐在地上。那時我在商場內還是有許多催淚彈的味道，示威者真的逃走不了，只能在大叫、在問有沒有水。有許多比我做得更多的人，還在四處問示威者需不需要生理鹽水洗眼、幫受傷的人洗。
我這一輩子也不會忘記，最沒有辦法忘記的不是催淚彈有多刺眼，有多辛苦， 有多窒息。我最記得的是為什麼一群上街的、在前線的人被弄得昏迷。他們什麼也沒有做只能吶喊。到底怎麼了？難道在香港言論自由也是這樣奢侈？難道他們在申訴自己的不滿也是在犯罪？

I am one of the protester. We have a group of classmates, we are all teenagers, we went out not for posting on social media, there was no peer pressure. Why did I not are about my personal safety? Why did I not care about anything and went to the protest? Why did I do that? Because we love this place called Hong Kong. We believed that Hong Kong was, perhaps, a liberal and free place still. Government would listen to our voices, but that is not the case.

June 9, 1.03 million went on the street [and protested], [Chief Executive] Lam-Cheng still doesn’t give a damn. None of the opinions expressed by the protesters matter to her.

I said: Fine, you think that we would retreat. We didn’t have the stamina to go out again.

At the beginning, I was too afraid to [go on the street]. I stood at the overpass and looked at the people on the street from above. I was not courageous enough to go down the overpass at first. I found myself a coward, I felt so helpless. On the overpass, I saw that there was an elderly woman on the other side. She is at least seventy or eighty years old, but she was on the street. For what? Not for herself. [*sob*]

I am a secondary school student, with a group of classmates. WE DID NOTHING VIOLENT! Police kept shooting us with tear-gas. Do you know where I was? I was at the [officially assigned] demonstration area.

One tear-gas bomb was not enough. We [the protesters] were all shouting: Stop […] We are retreating. Please stop. We are retreating. Why were you [the police] still using tear-gas bomb at us? Do you know how many youngsters were there? How many elderlies? How many social workers? How many Christians? They came out. [*sob*]

[I am 16 years-old]. I have been in Hong Kong for 16 years. It is not a long time. But I have come to learn the Core Values of Hong Kong. We have freedom. We have the freedom to resist even when we are oppressed. The freedom to assembly. The freedom to speak to anyone who would listen. But in reality, these things don’t exist. All the things we thought we have, all the things I knew were lies.

All my classmates are good people. They don’t care about themselves, they protect all their female classmates first. I really do appreciate them. Do you know how old they are? We are all at the same age. Do you know how guilty I feel right now?

Perhaps you have no idea how having tear gas shot at you feel like. It hurt so much and so badly. It feels like your whole body is on fire.

As I was retreating, I saw all those at the frontline. They were hurt so badly they [fell to the ground / could not stand up]. Even when I was inside the shopping mall [nearby], I could still smell the tear gas. We sat on the ground and we could do nothing but shout: is there water? There were people who did so much than I did, they were still asking me if I need water to clean myself or wash my eyes? I will remember them for life.

But the things I couldn’t forget the most wasn’t how horrible the tear gas felt, how my eyes hurt, how I couldn’t breath. I couldn’t forget the many protesters, people who were hurt, people fell unconscious - they did nothing but shouting . How come freedom of speech has become so costly in Hong Kong? How come expressing our dissatisfaction has become a crime?

日文版：
（今、私は）１６才です。
今日デモに参加したうちの一人です。
学校の友達と一緒に参加して、みんな同世代です。

私たちこうして声を上げたのは、（ソーシャルメディアで）チェックインしたいわけでなくて、
友達に影響されたわけでもない
どうして自分の安全を気にせずにデモに参加したかというと、
香港という場所が大好きだから
香港は自由があると信じてるから
政府が私の声を耳に傾けると信じてたが
そうではなかった。

6月9日、103万の人が街で抗議したけど、
林鄭（行政長官・林鄭月娥）にスルーされた。
全ての人の意見や声が彼女の眼中にはなかったのだ。
（そして、）私たちの不屈さまだ届いてないかもしれないと思い、
今日再び運動に参加しました

最初、私も怯えてて、歩道橋からみんなの様子を見るしかできなかった
下に降りることができなかった
自分は弱い人間だと思う

今思うと、その時の自分が本当に無力だった
歩道橋から向こうの車道に一人70，80才ぐらいのお婆さんの姿を見えた。
高齢者さえ参加したのに
どうして？自分のためではないの！

私、と高校の学友は決して暴力 など振っていない！
（しかし）警察から投げられた催涙ガスはすごい数で、途絶える事がなかった。
当時私はどこにいたと思う？
デモ地域だった
催涙ガス一つだけじゃ足りなかったみたいで
みんなはすでに大声で止めてって言いつつ
もう退いてるって言いつつ
止めてと要求して、もう離れていたことを表明したのに

それなのに催涙ガスが止まらなかったのです、なぜ？

そこにどれぐらい若者がいたかわかる？どれぐらいお年寄りがいたかわかる？
たくさんの社会福祉士、クリスチャン、他のみんなもその場に居た！

16年間香港で生きてて
これはすごく長い時間じゃない、
ただ、せめて十六年間通して分かったのが香港のコア・バリューというのは自由であること
私は圧迫されても抵抗できるという自由があると思ってた
集会の自由、言論の自由
でも実はそうではないと思い知った。
十六年間から学んだこと、知ったこと全部嘘だった。

学校の友達がみんな優しい
自分の身を気にせずにまず女子を守った
すごく感心した。
彼たちはいくつかと思う？
私と同じぐらい
すごく恥ずかしく思って、自分を責めてる
催涙ガス（投げられたら）どんな気分だったかわからないだろう
すごく痛かった、全身火傷があるような感じだった
走って（現場から）離れた最中、前線にいた人も見て
みんなも痛くて床に座るしかできなかった。
モールの中にいた時も催涙ガスの匂いが満ちていた
痛くて歩けなくなって、座るしかできなかった
何もできなくて、水があるかって叫ぶ事しか出来なかった。

自分よりもっと貢献した人がいて、
塩水いる？と周りの人たちに尋ねてて目を洗るのを手伝ってた。
生涯絶対忘れない
一番忘れないことは催涙ガスの所為でどれほど痛かったか、目がどれほど痛かったか、息ができなくてどれほど辛かったかということではない！

忘れないのは、前線に立った人と昏睡に落ちた人も居たことだ
何もやってなかったのに、ただ叫び続けたのに
どうして？

つまりすでに香港では言論の自由はもう贅沢品になったっていうこと？？

自分の不満を訴えることでみな法を犯したっていうこと？？

Thaksin Shinawatra in Private Discussion
World Policy Institute Global Leader Briefing Series Thinking Points
World Policy Institute, 9th March 2016, New York

———————————————————

Excellencies, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,

I must thank you World Policy Institute for providing me an opportunity to share my thought on the challenges that revolve around the economic, regional and global implications of how Thailand will make its way through a period of transition and change.

We all know that no society in the twenty-first century can sustain any form of “progress” in the well-being of its people without at least two basic foundations:
The first one is political stability. The second one is the ability to create economic activities that allow growth and readiness to shift its creativities to sustain wealth.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Let me tell you the tale of the two cities, which is not written by Charles Dickens. It is the tale of parallel progress of Washington D.C. and Beijing. Each has its own history, pain and loathing. As the years go by, the two cities have been seen as rivals which offers competing models for growth and prosperity.

One is Free Market-Capitalism with the so-called “Open Democracy” as the foundation of its economic model. The other one is State-Led Capitalism with the central control system by one party.

Both of the models have proven to be successful in a very dramatic way from the past to the present. Admitting that the Chinese model was fitting to the change of attitude among the leadership of the country at that time, in parallel with the change of economic model in the West, in which the definition of “free trade” benefits China’s shifting position from a close market to a semi-open market.

But we must admit also that both models are now having to adjust itself to the new reality; the reality of dramatic change in speed and character of technology for industrial production; the change from “a country-based product” to “network of global design, global sourcing,and global production for just one product”. This extraordinary change upends the “normal” internal economic adjustment of the country and made it very difficult to find a simple economic adjustment.

We must recognize that advancement in the wealth management technique and technology also upend the normal linkage between capital and changes in production. However, we probably agree, that one common threat for survival in this present so-called “New Normal” is either you have the ability and willingness to change or you don’t. Thailand, like the other countries, cannot get away from this New Normal in the international context.

Ladies and Gentleman,

There is a tale of a poor English teacher in China who soared to the list of the world’s wealthiest people. He neither built a big factory nor invested in any production facility. But, people paid for his service simply to reach the network of supply and demand on a grand scale. I believe, he must feel thank you to the internet.

Ladies and Gentleman,

Amid the global economic slowdown, the pattern of trade has significantly changed. Due to the development of information technology infrastructure and increasing number of population who is able to access to the internet, e-commerce has become a new engine that sustains growth for both developed and developing economies. According to UNCTAD’s report last year, the value of global business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce in 2013 exceeded $15 trillion USD. While global business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce still accounted for an estimated $1.2 trillion USD, this segment has grown at a rapid pace; especially in the Asia and Oceania region where B2C segment is expected to surge from 20 to 37 percent between 2013 to 2018. Due to the incremental growth of cross-border e-commerce trade, international postal deliveries of small packets and parcels have risen by 48 percent between 2011 to 2014 globally.

For both Asia and the West, I believe these numbers provide us with clues for the new growth opportunities where “access to networks” is the key: meaning, the networks of consumers and factors of production across geographical boundaries. Unlike the economy of twentieth century when “access to centers” is the rules of the game, today, businessmen who do not have big factories and are not the owners of multinational corporations, can manage to reach and satisfy the needs of their customers worldwide through networks of production and distribution with an assist of the new communication technology. Today’s economy is increasingly decentralized. Consumption and production are more and more dispersed. We could imagine that an American producers can sell their products online directly to consumers in the western part of China without having to spend business hours in Beijing or Shanghai. Vice versa, a Chinese producer can bypass New York to offer their products to customers in New England and Mid-Atlantic states. The network economy has provided the people, both in small and large businesses, with the ability to produce and access to consumers at lower costs. We, as a global community, must put special emphasis on how each country can invest and share risk with the people to create growth collectively.

Ladies and Gentleman,

Another tale is about the rebirth of a road that nobody cares since the Portuguese discovered a possible sea route from Europe to Asia. The Portuguese did offer an alternative trade route with substantial margins for the goods carried. Although you might lose half of the cargoes on the way, you still did not lose your shirt. Since the demand for spices were overwhelming, the merchant marines heavily charge everybody.

Ladies and Gentleman,

The heavy-load transport through the sea has been with us till now, and the land routes from Asia to Europe have been neglected. If the world’s economy is thriving like the good old days, probably, not so many people would be interested in finding an alternative in life. But, since the situation goes awry, I believe, any country should consider all possibilities.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Today, there are two major initiatives that, I think, have great potential to accelerate growth and leverage “quality of growth” that brought into being by the emergence of network economy. One is the China-led “One Belt, One Road” (OBOR) plan to develop transport and logistics connectivity encompassed some 60 countries, which include about 50 percent of the world’s GDP. And, the other is the US-led Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) between 12 Pacific Rim countries, which account for more than 40 percent of the world’s GDP. I have not seen these two initiatives as antagonistic, but rather a kind of two parallel processes that, at a certain point, will create mutual economic benefits for Asia and the West.

We must overcome the stereotype that perceive China and the US as merely the two opposing political superpowers. In reality, the economic development during the past decade has shown us how far these two major economies are interdependent. China is the largest foreign holder of US government securities with $1.24 trillion USD worth. With the total trade volume of $521 billion USD in 2014, the US is China’s biggest trade partner. Total US foreign direct investment (FDI) in China stood at $65.77 billion USD at the end of 2014, while the Chinese FDI in the US is estimated to have reach $11.9 billion USD.

Given this interdependence in mind, I believe Southeast Asia- the region that sits in between the two great initiatives of the two major economies- must put special emphasis on how to enhance the mutual economic benefits with its counterparts. For Southeast Asia in the twenty-first century, the geopolitics should be about how to reinforce the networks of wealth creation for the people that stretch across national and regional borders.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Let me tell you the last tale about a Thai restaurant. No matter how many times the master chef tries to teach his protege, the young man keeps making mistakes in mixing the ingredients. Customers are kept waiting, hungry and mad. Once the customers are served, half of them get diarrhea afterward. The moral of this tale is one must make the written recipe right.

Ladies and gentlemen,

While some people may underline the unique characteristics of Thailand in terms of its history and developmental path, the country itself cannot avoid to come to terms with the global challenges of the twenty-first century. For half a century, the Thai economy has incrementally integrated into global economy. Values of Thailand’s exports per GDP and FDI in the country have shown us clearly how far the growth of Thai economy has been interwoven with the fate of global economy.

Against this context, we shall consider Thailand’s draft constitution with a very simple question: will the latest draft constitution “enable” the country to grow and become stronger in the present world? Or, will the latest draft constitution provide Thailand with a sufficient institutional infrastructure for investment, production, cooperation, and businesses?

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Due to the framework set out by the latest draft constitution, it is difficult to foresee a government that is responsive to the people and the challenges of the twenty-first century. According to the new draft, the 200-seat upper house, or Senate, will be appointed by the so-called “experts”. The Senate will also have greater powers to block legislation. Regarding the Constitutional Court, its scope of jurisdiction will be expanded. The Court will have the power to examine cases based on petitions filed directly by individuals, without the requirement that an actual dispute being brought by political organs or other courts.

If we consider the doctrine of separation of powers as the foundation for growth and stability, the critical issue that we shall examine is whether the judicial power will trespass the provinces of legislature/ and executive or not? For a government to be able to manage the economy against the global slowdown, I do hope that there will be no over-enforcement of the judicial power. Experiences of several countries show us that, if unchecked, judicial review can be inappropriately used as “delaying tactic”; thus, in turn, become an impediment to economic policy implementation.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I believe that the foundation for the country to create growth and prosperity is to build trust in the global community. The constitution shall protect the rule of law and provide at least a minimum level of freedom of speech that facilitates economic cooperation between the people and the global community. Trade and investment cannot flourish if there is no certain degree of confidence provided by the rule of law. Against the transition and change, Thailand must reevaluate its strength and weakness. The country shall find a sensible way to regain its political stability and economic dynamism. I have only proposed the way of how should we think of the phenomena that is the world today.

我的中国朋友，这篇文章是假的。 这个外国人是被人给钱付费做的这个视频。 没有我的许可，报纸在这篇文章中使用了我的照片。 请不要相信这些反外国人的文章，他们试图传播仇恨。 我们都是朋友和家人，我们应该彼此相爱，不要恨，因为我们都是兄弟姐妹。
I always try and be respectful when filming in China, I make sure to avoid any sensitive areas, don't film anything remotely to do with politics, or military or government, I film in open public places and film myself. But often I get suspicious old men calling security or the police on me, the police and security guards are always polite and professional and often simply just curious as to what I'm doing and once I explain that I'm shooting a video of myself to show my friends (you my subscribers) what China is really like, they often smile and tell me to continue, but it's not always the case and recently I've been getting a lot of trouble shooting my videos out in public here in China. There is a reason for this and I want to explain to you all why this is all of a sudden an issue, also I want to update you all on how the risks I've taken recently have paid off (or not) as some of you have been asking me to do a follow up on my Risk Failure video I shot over a year ago.
