Assignment: China - "The Week That Changed The World (Chinese Subtitles)

Richard Nixon's visit to China in February 1972 changed the course of history — reshaping the global balance of power and opening the door to the establishment of relations between the People's Republic and the United States.
１９７２年２月理查德•尼克松对中国的访问改变了历史的轨迹 － 它重新调整了全球势力的均衡，为中华人民共和国和美国两国间关系的建立打开了大门。

It was also a milestone in the history of journalism. Since the Communist revolution of 1949, a suspicious regime in Beijing had barred virtually all U.S. reporters from China. For the Nixon trip, however, the Chinese agreed to accept nearly 100 journalists, and to allow the most dramatic events — Nixon's arrival in Beijing, Zhou Enlai'swelcoming banquet, visits to the Great Wall and the Forbidden City — to be televised live.
这次访问同时也是新闻史上的一个里程碑。自１９４９年共产革命以来，对外界充满怀疑的­北京政府将所有美国新闻记者拒之门外。然而为了尼克松中国之行，中方同意并接纳了１０­０名新闻记者，并且允许电视现场直播尼克松中国之行中发生的重大事件 － 例如尼克松抵京，周恩来总理欢迎晚宴，总统参观长城和故宫。

The coverage was arguably as important as the details of the diplomacy. It profoundly transformed American and international perceptions of a long-isolated China, generated the public support Nixon needed to change U.S. policy, and laid the groundwork for Beijing's gradual move to open China to greater international media coverage.
对总统之行的新闻报道可以说和这次外交之行的细节同等重要。它深刻地改变了美国以及国­际社会对长期与外部世界隔离的中国的印象，为中国政府逐步对国际新闻媒体开放奠定了基­础。

While the outlines of the Nixon trip are familiar, the behind-the-scenes story of how that momentous event was covered is much less well-known. This segment of Assignment: China focuses on journalists who went with Nixon and includes interviews with those officials who sought to shape the coverage. The Week that Changed the World contains previously unreleased footage of the Nixon visit, as well as interviews with journalistic luminaries such as Dan Rather and Bernard Kalb of CBS, Ted Koppel and Tom Jarriel of ABC, Barbara Walters of NBC, Max Frankel of the New York Times, Stanley Karnow of the Washington Post, and many others.
尼克松中国之行虽然广为人知，这一历史事件是如何被报道的幕后故事却没有很多人了解。­这一解析中国之旅的纪录片关注的是陪同尼克松中国之行的新闻记者，同时包含了对中美双­方试图影响新闻报道的官员的采访。改变世界的一周收纳了从未公布的尼克松中国之行的影­像，以及对新闻界知名人物的访谈，如哥伦比亚广播公司的丹•拉瑟和伯纳德•卡尔布，美­国广播公司的伯纳德•卡尔布和汤姆•贾里尔，全国广播公司的芭芭拉•沃尔特斯，《纽约­时报》的马克思•弗兰克尔，《华盛顿邮报》的卡史丹，以及其他知名记者。

Reported and narrated by U.S.-China Institute Senior Fellow Mike Chinoy, formerly CNN's Senior Asia Correspondent and Beijing Bureau Chief, and edited by USCI Multimedia Editor Craig Stubing, the film offers a fascinating and previously untold perspective on one of the most important historical moments of the 20th century. Clayton Dube conceived of the Assignment: China project and supervises it.

Dan Rather is funny lol

[ronnieboy3]

OK here is my sense of right and wrong. Mimicing a fail economic system from Stalin was wrong. Creating a cultural revolution that wasted 20 yrs of development is wrong. Waging civil war especially with a belligerent neighbor that was going to invade you was wrong. Opening up to the world and for new science and technology was right. Modernizing the military so it can protect the country was right. Treating your own better than treating foreigners is right. Learning from pass mistakes is right.

[ronnieboy3]

but the universe is nothing more that a giant vaccum that wouldn't shed a tear for any Chinese suffering. Your sophistry will not help you if someone stronger than you are who wants to invade you and kill your people. If you ask me whether I rather have justice or nuclear weapons, I rather have nukes. If China did not modernize through Deng China would be like it is in Iraq. Thank goodness Deng had the foresight to stop the Cultural Revolution and bring China to this modern era.

[ronnieboy3]

There is only of advantage of applying the concept of "right and wrong" to the other party if the other party extends this concept to you. But if you extend this position to someone that doesn't reciprocate it to you, you are putting yourself at a disadvantage with the other party can exploit. I know that many Chinese like to believe that there is a universal concept of justice and fairness. That maybe there is a god that may acknowledge our moral position but, cont.

[ronnieboy3]

China didn't have any modern military equip and the us seemed unstoppable. You have not ideal how scared and powerless it felt back then. I thought the 100 yrs of humilation was going to repeat itself. I remembered how us hawks would say they were going to bomb us back to the stone age or turned China into glass. And FYI we are not born losers.

[ronnieboy3]

maoist people's war theory of overwhelming numbers to defeat an opponent. When the Chinese government saw how the us easily beat the iraqi forces, it made drastic changes to it's military. You can see the results today 20 yrs later. We have nuclear road mobile ICBMs, an new modern jet fighters, new destroyers and submarines. Equipment that China needs to defend itself. Believe you me, I was there when GWB became the president call China a competitor. conti

[ronnieboy3]

When a country makes a mistake that weekends it, other countries will exploit it to its advantage for thier own gain. That has happen throughout history. The west is not immune to this. The war is Iraq and the housing bubble has created a mass debt for the west. This China can exploit to its advantage. Let me give you an example where China made the right decision by learning form the mistakes of others. Before the first Iraq war, China military was base no obsolete maoist people's war cont.

[ronnieboy3]

You don't seem to understand what I am saying. There is not inncate racial/ cultural charateristics that prevents any ethinicity form making mistakes. All nations and cultural groups make mistakes throughtout history. But if a nation is to endure, it must learn from a the mistakes as to never make them again. Do you understand? The west maintain their dominant position because they are holding hostage the rest of the world because of it's vast military power.

[sunmoonstargood]

ronnieboy3, it's impossible to learn from the past, or to interpreter what happened to China without an adquate sense of right & wong. What believe system do u hv? Do u hv any? If we believe the west version of how the world hs been operating, then, all the conquers in the human history hv gone, disspeared. That means, the west will be gone also, without exception. Then, why should China emulate someone who will desternated to dissappear in the future? lol

[sunmoonstargood]

ronnieboy3,u said u hoped China being strong again. Do u know that we Chinese hs a strong sencse of right & wrong? Our culture teachs us, " those who conquers will be conquered in the end." & "what comes goes around will come around". That's why we don't go out to conquer others, coz we know the final consequence. We believe there is justice in the universe; even in jungles, justice will prevail, & the west will meet its justice. Our culture still guides us Chinese's thinking, but not u. lol
