Jonathan Watts is the Guardian's Asia environment correspondent and recently covered the Copenhagen Climate Conference. He was short-listed for Foreign Correspondent of the Year at the 2006 British Press Awards, and he and his research assistant were awarded the One World Media Award for best press story in 2007. In 2009, he was a co-winner of the environment prize at the One World Media Awards for a series on the global food crisis.
As a young child, Jonathan Watts believed if everyone in China jumped at the same time, the earth would be shaken off its axis, annihilating mankind. Now, more than thirty years later, as a correspondent for The Guardian in Beijing, he has discovered it is not only foolish little boys who dread a planet-shaking leap by the world’s most populous nation. When a Billion Chinese Jump is a road journey into the future of our species. Traveling from the mountains of Tibet to the deserts of Inner Mongolia via the Silk Road, tiger farms, cancer villages, weather-modifying bases, and eco-cities, Watts chronicles the environmental impact of economic growth with a series of gripping stories from the country on the front line of global development. He talks to nomads and philosophers, entrepreneurs and scientists, rural farmers and urban consumers, examining how individuals are trying to adapt to one of the most spectacular bursts of change in human history, then poses a question that will affect all of our lives: Can China find a new way forward or is this giant nation doomed to magnify the mistakes that have already taken humanity to the brink of disaster?

評分當十億中國人同時跳起來,地球會發生什麼?答案是,在那一刻什麼也不會發生。然而,當他們從空中落下的瞬間,悲劇就立刻發生瞭:“如果全部的中國人在同一時間跳起來並落地,這會將地球從中軸綫震裂為兩截,大傢都會完蛋。”《當十億中國人跳起來》(When a Billion Chinese Ju...

評分Jonathan Watts 的這個講座,可以說是他前一天參加 Will China Rule the World 討論的延續。他的文字含蓄但又不乏鋒芒,詼諧但又坦誠,這些也反映在他的講座中,他首先解釋瞭他的新書《當十億中國人一起跳起來》(When a Billion Chinese Jump)的書名含義:小時候的他從大人那裏...
