论文摘要
本文研究了关于Covid-19的阴谋和揭穿叙事，从2020年1月到2020年4月，在中国主要的社交媒体平台上发起了关于Covid-19关于Covid-19的Weibo的流行阴谋，包括该病毒是人类合成的或生物武器，与美国的生物群体有很大不同。他们将更多的责任归因于美国，尤其是在中国对抗之后。与阴谋帖子相比，揭穿帖子与用户的参与程度较低，但动员更高。当叙事来自女性和影响者并引用科学家时，揭露叙事可能会更具吸引力。我们的发现表明，阴谋叙事可以携带高度文化和政治取向。更正工作应考虑政治动机，并确定重要的利益相关者，以重建国际对话，以实现跨文化理解。
This paper studies conspiracy and debunking narratives about COVID-19 origination on a major Chinese social media platform, Weibo, from January to April 2020. Popular conspiracies about COVID-19 on Weibo, including that the virus is human-synthesized or a bioweapon, differ substantially from those in the US. They attribute more responsibility to the US than to China, especially following Sino-US confrontations. Compared to conspiracy posts, debunking posts are associated with lower user participation but higher mobilization. Debunking narratives can be more engaging when they come from women and influencers and cite scientists. Our findings suggest that conspiracy narratives can carry highly cultural and political orientations. Correction efforts should consider political motives and identify important stakeholders to reconstruct international dialogues toward intercultural understanding.
