Last summer I was trying to build a prototype of a new website named Chinapig (in Taiwanese only), which turned out to be an unfinished work but also a success in some way. In that website, I introduced a couple of realistic facts that Chinese government was abusing humanity among Tibetan, East Turkistan and Christians. Capitalism has brought great prosperity to China yet more obstacles to its democracy and human rights of its people. There are so many foreign enterprises investing in China, they could easily lose great amount of profits just because of angering the communist government by, say urging on the release of jailed journalists. This gives me a good reason not to use products that are Made in China since protesting on the streets outside of China doesn’t give much help in fact. Despite of its notoriety, there is still more and more capital flows into China in the past 20 years and the human rights conditions are even getting worse. I deeply believe that only by stopping buying products made in China can we warn the government and companies that care nothing about the suppressed people. So this was what I did recently: I assembled a PC with no module that is labeled Made in China.
去年夏天我製作了一個實驗性質的網站「種果豬」，雖然最後我並沒有完成他，不過在某些方面來說這還算是一個成功的作品。在這個網站當中我說明了中國政府這六十年來對於圖博人、東土耳其斯坦的泛突厥民族、還有其境內的基督教徒的種種壓迫與剝削。我們都知道自從改革開放以後，來自資本主義國家的跨國企業紛紛把巨量的資金投入中國市場。但是資本主義在中國雖然成功促進了部分區域的繁榮，卻也為這個國家的民主化進程以及人權環境帶來陰影。而這些跨國企業因為中國政府制定的那些本身就不公平的招商法規獲得暴利，又怎麼可能會要求中國政府改善其人權條件呢？別忘了幾年前 Yahoo! 還因為提供私人郵件的內容給中國公安，而造成數名記者成為政治犯鋃鐺入獄。因此這給了我一個很好的理由抵制中國製造的產品。我們過去不斷在中國以外進行街頭運動來抗議中國政府的暴行，然而就算中國政府的惡名一天比一天來得臭，在過去二十年間我們卻看到越來越多的資金湧入中國，只是形式上的抗議早就無法動搖利益薰心的企業和共產黨。所以我堅定的相信，唯有抵制中國製造的產品，才能真正給予這些犯下反人道罪行的主犯與共犯警告，這也是我對於圖博和東土追求自由獨立的朋友們最實際的支持。所以我最近做了一件事情：我組裝了一台沒有一個模組包裝上標示為「中國製造」的電腦。
For those who may want to build a China-free PC like me, I list the spec of my new PC below so that you can ask resellers for them.
為了那些也想組一台不含中國製造模組的電腦的人，我列出了這台新電腦的規格給你們去質問 3C 通路商。
CPU: Intel – Core i7 920 (Costa Rica 哥斯大黎加)
Motherboard: Gigabyte – EX58-UD3R (Taiwan 台灣)
DRAM: Transcend – DDR3 1333MHz 2GB*3 (Taiwan 台灣)
System HDD: WD – VelociRaptor 150GB (Thailand 泰國)
Data HDD: WD – 1TB 7200rpm SATA2 (Malaysia 馬來西亞)
Graphics Card: Gigabyte – N26-896-I (Taiwan 台灣)
Power Supply: Zippy – HU2-5660 660W (Taiwan 台灣)
Case: Lian Li – PC-A06F (Taiwan 台灣)
Monitor: EIZO – S2402W-H (Japan 日本)
Keyboard: moshi – Celesta (Taiwan 台灣)
Mouse: MacMice – The Mouse Laser (Taiwan 台灣)
Totally those cost me 64,250 NTD. The new PC is named after the great ancient Japanese goddess, Amaterasu (アマテラス). Also, I photoed my desktop in which you may see Amaterasu with my VAIO SZ notebook Himiko and my little bro lying on the floor by following this link.
這全部花了我 64,250 新台幣，只能說真是超爽ㄉ。我幫新電腦命名為アマテラス，也就是記錄日本最古老故事的《古事記》當中所記載日本最資深的傲嬌姊氣女神天照大神。最後我將整理好的書桌拍下來作為最有力的說明（那幹嘛擺在最後面…），其中你可以看到令人驚豔的日本製 24 吋大螢幕、陪我回內地朝聖的資深筆電ヒミコ，還有躺在地上睡覺的我弟，他大概睡到靈魂出竅了。相簿連結
