In a stunning blow to the overseas propaganda efforts of the Chinese Communist Party, a jury in a US federal court returned a unanimous defamation verdict yesterday in favor of the CCP’s most famous and lethal critic.
美国联邦法院的一个陪审团昨天作出一致的诽谤判决，支持中共最著名和最致命的批评者。 这是对中国共产党海外宣传工作的一个惊人打击。
Since embarking upon his campaign to expose official corruption and promote the rule of law in China, Mr. Guo Wengui has been pursued ruthlessly by the CCP. They have brought numerous criminal actions against him in China in absentia. They have also orchestrated multiple frivolous lawsuits against him here in the US. Ironically, many overseas Chinese media personalities claiming to be pre-democracy activists have taken their cue from the CCP and launched their own smear campaigns against Guo Wengui here in the US via Youtube and Twitter.
郭文贵先生自从开展揭露官员腐败和推动中国法治的运动以来，一直被中共无情地追捕。在中国， 他们在他缺席的情况下判决了许多针对他的犯罪行为。他们还在美国针对他策划了多起毫无依据的诉讼。具有讽刺意味的是，许多声称是前民主活动人士的海外华人媒体人士已经从中共那里得到了启示，并通过Youtube和Twitter在美国发起了针对郭文贵的诽谤运动。
Rather than cowering in the face of a multi-pronged attack from the menacing red leviathan, Mr. Guo, a foreign national, has placed his faith in the US justice system and launched his own legal counterattacks. The first to go to trial was directed towards a former assistant professor from Peking University, David Yeliang Xia. Mr. Xia used his Youtube and Twitter accounts to mimic the libelous assaults originating from state-run media in China. The punishment for Mr. Xia, now a US citizen, was handed down by a federal jury of his peers in Northern Virginia yesterday. Mr. Xia was found liable for $100,000 of damages for his defamatory remarks.
郭先生是一名外国公民，面对来自这个庞大红魔的多方面威胁性的攻击没有畏缩，他信任美国司法系统并发起了自己的法律反击。第一个提起诉讼的是针对北京大学的前副教授David Yeliang Xia。夏先生利用他的Youtube和推特账号来效仿来自中国国家媒体的诽谤性攻击。对于现在是美国公民的夏先生的处罚，昨天由他所在的北弗吉尼亚州由公民组成的联邦陪审团作出。夏先生因诽谤言论被判须赔偿10万元。
Mr. Guo, a foreign national, placed his faith in the US justice system and the eight-person jury did not disappoint. Mr. Guo Wengui believes an independent judiciary must be established in China if the Chinese people are ever to enjoy fundamental human rights He has demonstrated how to combat that criminal state through civilized legal channels. . His unprecedented legal maneuvers speak even louder than his scathing critiques of the CCP. With this recent legal victory, he has gained the upper hand against the CCP and their network of mouthpieces who, until now, have often used the rights and freedoms enjoyed in the US to further the interests of the communist regime in China. With the wind in his sails, he has plenty more counterattacks in the works as the CCP-enabling pundits now face the stern reality that engaging in defamation via social media will no longer go unpunished . And all of this, as Guo Wengui often says, is just the beginning.
郭先生作为一名外国人，他信任美国司法系统，八人陪审团并没有让人失望。郭文贵先生认为，如果中国人民想要享有基本人权，就必须在中国建立独立的司法机构. 他已经证明了如何通过文明的法律渠道打击这个犯罪政府。他史无前例的法律行动比他对中共的严厉批评更加响亮。凭借他最近取得的司法的胜利，他在反对中共和他们的喉舌的网络战中占了上风，直到现在，这些喉舌还经常利用美国享有的权利和自由来促进中国共产党政权的利益。他将乘胜追击，对那些中共支持的权威人士，他将展开更多的反击，这些权威人士现在面临残酷的现实，即通过社交媒体进行诽谤将不再逍遥法外。正如郭文贵经常说的那样，一切都是刚刚开始。
