controlocracy

習前幾天對台灣釋出類似的信息。

牛津大學社會學與社會政策系榮譽教授斯坦.林根接受BBC中文網專訪，介紹他的新書《完美的獨裁：21世紀下的中國》。
他認為中國是一個完美的獨裁政府，用專制(Autocracy)等字眼，去形容中國的體制是太過溫和，所以創建了一個新字──管控專制(Controlocracy)。
CHINA – A CONTROLOCRACY – THE PERFECT DICTATORSHIP
英國牛津一位來自挪威的社會學家近日出書形容中國體制為＂完美的獨裁＂，稱其意識形態令人民自覺控制自己的所思、所想、所為，在全球來說是獨一無二。
斯坦.林根(Stein Ringen)認為西方學術界對中國的經濟成就存在根本性誤解，錯誤解讀成一個專制政府的有效管治策略，而忽略了中國體制的黑暗面。
他認為習近平提出中國夢，又成為「核心」，顯示中國再次逐步邁向如毛澤東般的一人治國，並有意進一步推崇國內的民族主義、大國主義。
這種意識形態對台灣、以至區內局勢帶來威脅。.....

CHINA – A CONTROLOCRACY

The Chinese political system is different from any other known to man, now or in history. We need a concept to help us understand that system and to distinguish it from all others. For that purpose, I’ve coined a new concept in political science and China analysis.

The new Chinese dictatorship is sophisticated and effective, hard in fact but mild in appearance. It does not tell everyone everything they must do. But it does control that they do not do what they must not, and it does so in great detail, from not having children that should not be had via not reading or seeing or hearing what should not be read or seen or heard, to not practicing faiths that should not be practiced – and above all to not organising.

That kind of dictatorship needs a name. It is not an autocracy; that is too benevolent. It is not a dictatorship like others; that is too primitive. I give it the name of controlocracy.
