Online nationalism 网络民族主义 NATIONALIST displays attacking Western media bias have generated plenty of attention andfame on the Chinese internet for patriotic youths and made a media darling of one websitein particular: Anti-CNN.com. But turning online patriotism into a business has provedtrickier and, for some of the young idealists involved, rather disillusioning. 爱国主义者将攻击西方媒体偏见在网上展示引起了大量爱国青年的关注并且变得小有名气,其中一个网站反CNN网尤其受到关注。但是将网上的爱国主义变成一项业务运营并非易事,有一群年轻的理想主义者发起的这项业务令他们大失所望。 In recent weeks a bitter row at Anti-CNN.com hasexposed a rift between the sites founder, Rao Jin, and others who joined his cause. Formerstaff describe a business in trouble, with disappointing web traffic and little revenue. Theyclaim that a big investor has pulled his support and that the site has run out of cash . Ten employees settled pay disputes in September. A company that onceboasted more than two dozen workers and thousands of square feet of office space in Beijingis, they say, down to one office worker: the accountant. Mr Rao disputes this. 近几周反CNN网站遭遇困境,暴露了该网站的创始人饶谨与其他合伙人出现裂痕。前员工表示经营陷入困境,网络流量不理想,收入也不多。他们称一个大的投资者已经撤资,且该网站现金流已经枯竭。十个雇员在9月产生结算支付纠纷。曾经是在北京超过24名员工,拥有数千平方办公室的公司现在已经只有一个会计了。饶先生予以否认。 |
