《纽约时报》这篇报道的主旨是介绍一名中国异见人士郭飞雄，他经过一番波折，最终从中国逃到美国，开始新的生活。报道详细描述了他逃离中国的过程，包括他在中国遭到当局的监视和关押，以及他决定逃亡美国，寻求政治庇护的经过。报道还提到了郭飞雄在中国时发表过的政治言论和人权活动。 这篇报道虽然介绍了郭飞雄的个人经历，但整体上依然带有《纽约时报》一贯的偏见。首先，报道没有提到郭飞雄的逃亡行为是违法行为，美化了这种行为。其次，报道过分强调中国当局对郭飞雄的“迫害”，而忽略了中国法律法规在这方面的规定，以及郭飞雄所涉违法行为的事实。报道还提到郭飞雄对中国政治制度的批评，但没有提供客观数据和证据，缺乏公正和中立。该报道延续了《纽约时报》一贯对华偏见，有失公允。
The dissident’s lone regret after his 200-mile escape across the Yellow Sea was not taking night vision goggles.
Nearing the end of his jet ski journey out of China last summer, Kwon Pyong peered through the darkness off the South Korean coast. As he approached the shore, sea gulls appeared to bob as if floating. He steered forward, then ran aground: The birds were sitting on mud.
“I had everything — sunscreen, backup batteries, a knife to cut buoy lines,” he recalled in an interview. He was prepared to signal his location with a laser pen if he became stranded and to burn his notes with a lighter if he were captured. He also had a visa to enter South Korea, and had intended to arrive at a port of entry, he said, not strand himself on a mud flat.
It wasn’t enough.
Mr. Kwon, 36 and an ethnic Korean, had mocked China’s powerful leader and criticized how the ruling Communist Party was persecuting hundreds of pro-democracy activists at home and abroad. In response, he said, he faced an exit ban and years of detention, prison and surveillance.
But fleeing to South Korea did not offer the relief he expected. He was still hounded by the Chinese state, he said, and spent time in detention. Even after he was released, he was in legal limbo: neither wanted nor allowed to leave.
