【新唐人2014年12月23日訊】由於遭到黑客攻擊還有朝鮮政府威脅，索尼影業取消了喜劇片「刺殺金正恩」在聖誕節的預定上映，不過這部電影最關鍵的27秒卻流傳出來，受到網友們的力挺。另一方面美國已經提醒請中共配合遏制朝鮮實施網絡攻擊的能力，無論中共方面做出怎樣的回應，這似乎都讓中共陷入一種微妙的境地。
《芝加哥太陽報》影評人理查德•羅珀：「羅斯福早就說過，『我們唯一應當恐懼的，就是恐懼本身』。現在就是這種情況。我認為這真是十分黑暗的一天，不僅對電影業，還有美國用這種方式讓步。」
由於遭到黑客攻擊和朝鮮政府威脅，索尼影業取消了喜劇片「刺殺金正恩」在聖誕節的預定上映，引發全美嘩然，讓影評人氣得直說「黑暗」。
不過，在防不勝防的互聯網面前，人為製造的黑暗再大，也難免會裂出一條小縫。這兩天，「刺殺金正恩」電影最關鍵27秒，也就是金正恩被刺殺的片段，在網絡上流傳開了。
網友們也發起了「給『刺殺金正恩』打滿分」的活動，不僅在美國電影網站IMDB上已經有超過一萬人給這部片子打了10分，大陸的「豆瓣電影」也有2000多人打到9.8分。不過「豆瓣」目前已經關閉了這部影片的討論頁面。
而微博上有很多大陸網友留言說，「太想看了」，「就等這個了」。
哥倫比亞大學人權研究所訪問學者谷川：「中國網民不喜歡金正恩，當然也不喜歡朝鮮這個國家。因為歷史上朝鮮戰爭，金日成把中國拖下水，死了那麼多人，現在朝鮮又對中國那麼不好。實際上中國網民也不喜歡俄羅斯，不喜歡普京。但中國政府，因為它都是獨裁，都是極權的政府，所以它們都會捆在一起。」
而在國際事務上一直「罩著」朝鮮的中共，也不得不就這個事件做出回應。《紐約時報》說，美國政府已經尋求中國的幫助，以遏制朝鮮實施網絡攻擊的能力。因為朝鮮幾乎所有的電信活動都要經由中國運營的網路。
資深評論員傑森•馬博士：「因為他都走的中國的網線網關，相關的黑客行蹤，你只要把他大概的發動命令的起始點IP告訴中國，就會非常清楚知道是從哪兒發出來的。」
這無疑讓中共站在一個很微妙的境地，因為自從美國司法部在今年5月正式指控中共軍方的五名黑客竊取了美國企業的敏感信息之後，雙方在網路安全問題上一直關係緊張。
傑森•馬博士：「這實際上是美國在測試一個概念，就是到底這次黑客行為有沒有中國人幫助，中共是不是在這個過程中起了一個非常關鍵的作用？美國說這是朝鮮做的，你要查一定能查的出來，那你查不查？如果你不查，或者以此為藉口，說朝鮮沒做等等，那麼很可能這個過程中，其實把中共也暴露出來了。」
目前中共還沒有具體回應美國的提議，對於中共可能採取的態度，評論人士有不一樣的看法。
谷川：「它肯定不會配合做調查的。而且中國也對美國進行黑客攻擊。美國就是它的敵人了，它不會去幫助敵人的。」
傑森•馬博士：「我想中共方面回應，裝糊塗的可能性更大一些。就說不知道，為了維護網民的安全，我們不透露有關信息，它可能以此為藉口，或者說它就置之不理，完全不回應。」
而時政觀察人士唐靖遠認為，中共內部可能有某個派系會配合美國的調查。
時政觀察人士唐靖遠：「這個涉及到一個很微妙的問題，就是怎麼去界定中共和朝鮮之間，它是小兄弟的關係。這種關係其實在中共高層它都是分裂的，因為中共高層現在事實上就是分裂，明顯的是分成兩大派，那麼就會折射到國際關係。」
唐靖遠指出，之前出席金正恩接班儀式的，是前中共政法委書記周永康，最近金正日三週年忌日，去朝鮮駐華使館送花的，是中共現任政治局常委劉雲山，這兩人都是江派官員。而中共總書記習近平至今還沒有訪問所謂的「盟友」朝鮮，反而先去訪問了韓國，近期和歐巴馬的互動也讓世界有目共睹。中共高層的嚴重分裂，使得對外關係也處於微妙的境地。

Comedy Film on Kim Jong-un Puts Chinese Regime in Dilemma
Due to cyber attacks and threats from North Korea,
Sony Pictures cancelled its premiere of the comedy film
“Kim Jong-un Assassination",
which was slated for Christmas Day.
But the most crucial 27 seconds of the film was circulated
on the Internet and widely liked by netizens.
The United States has asked the Chinese regime to help curb
North Korea’s capability for cyber attacks.
Regardless of how the Chinese regime would respond,
it seems to have put the Chinese regime
into a delicate situation.
Please see the following analyses.
Richard Roeper, film critic, the Chicago Sun-Times says:
“… FDR said it a million years ago,
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
That’s exactly what is happening now.
I think this really is a very dark day not only
for the movie industry but for America to give in like this."
Due to the cyber attacks and threats from North Korea,
Sony Pictures cancelled its premiere of the comedy film
“Kim Jong-un Assassination".
It has triggered outcry across the US.
Some critics have described it as “awful".
However, faced with the permeable Internet,
no matter how big the man-made “awfulness" may be,
there will inevitably be a clue.
These days, the most crucial 27 seconds of the film,
which is a fragment depicting the assassination of Kim Jong-un,
has circulated on the Internet.
Netizens have also launched a campaign to give full marks
to the film.
Not only have over 10,000 people given the film 10 points
on the Website of US Internet Movie Database (IMDB),
but more than 2,000 Chinese have also given 9.8 points
on the Movie.douban.com’s Website.
But the movie.douban.com has closed the discussion page
for this film.
Many netizens in mainland China said on microblog that
they have been “anxious to see it", and that
“this is exactly what we’ve been waiting for".
Tanigawa, visiting scholar at Columbia University
Institute of Human Rights: “Chinese netizens do not like
Kim Jong-un and North Korea, because in the Korean War,
Kim Il Sung dragged China into the hot water
that cost many people their lives,
and North Korea’s attitude toward China is not so good nowadays.
In fact, Chinese netizens do not like Russia and Putin either.
However, the Chinese regime regards it as its ally
because both of them are authoritarian regimes."
On the frontline of international affairs, the Chinese regime has
long been North Korea’s supporter, so, it has no choice
but to make some response to this incident.
New York Times reported the US government has sought
help from China, to curb North Korea’ capability for cyber attacks,
as almost all of North Korea’s communication systems
go via Chinese network systems.
Senior critic Dr. Jason Ma: “As its communication systems
are via China’s cable gateway, relevant hackers’ whereabouts
can easily be identified, as long as the IP that launched
the hacks are given to the Chinese regime."
It undoubtedly put the Chinese regime in a very delicate
situation.
Since the US Department of Justice formally accused
five Chinese military hackers of stealing sensitive information
from US companies, the two sides have had tense relations
on the issue of cyber security.
Dr. Jason Ma: “This is actually a concept that the US is testing.
That is, whether there were Chinese people who helped
the hacking activity, and whether the regime has played
a crucial role during the process.
If the US says that it was done by North Korea,
would the Chinese regime conduct the investigations?
If the regime rejects the request, or fabricates an excuse
to say that it wasn’t done by North Korea, then,
during the process,
the Chinese regime’s lies can actually be exposed."
To date, the Chinese regime has yet to come up
with any specific response to US proposals.
As to the possible attitude the Chinese regime might take,
critics have different views.
Tanigawa: “It certainly will not launch any investigation,
as the Chinese regime has also launched hacking activities
against the United States.
The US is the regime’s enemy, so it won’t help its enemy."
Dr. Jason Ma: “I think the Chinese regime is very likely
to pretend to know nothing about it.
It would claim that to safeguard the security of Internet users,
it cannot disclose the relevant information.
It may use this as an excuse, or just ignore it altogether,
without giving any response."
Politics observer Tang jingyuan said that a certain faction
within the Chinese Communist Party is likely
to help out the US investigation.
Tang jingyuan: “This involves a very subtle issue, that is, how
to define the close relationship between the CCP and North Korea.
In fact, this relationship is diversified among the Chinese
regime’s leadership, because the leadership is actually divided,
and it has apparently divided into two distinct factions.
And this situation will reflect on its international relations."
Tang jingyuan pointed out that the Chinese official
who attended Kim Jong-un’s inaugural ceremony was
former secretary of the Politburo, Zhou Yongkang.
Recently, on the third anniversary of Kim Jong Il’s death,
the official who went to the North Korean Embassy to China
to place the bouquet was incumbent CCP Politburo Standing
Committee member Liu Yunshan.
Both of them are officials from the Jiang Zemin faction.
CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping has yet to visit North Korea,
its so-called “ally", and instead, he visited South Korea first.
His recent interactions with Obama have attracted
the world’s attention.
The serious division among the Chinese regime leadership
has also made the regime’s foreign relations very complex.
