I have recently perused Nicholas Kristof’s NYT piece “China’s Man in Washington, Named Trump”(https://nyti.ms/3h2JXh8). One paragraph in particular caught my attention: “A joke in China suggests that Trump’s Chinese name is Chuan Jianguo, or “Build-the-Country Trump.” That’s because Build-the-Country is a common revolutionary name among Communist patriots, and it’s mockingly suggested that Trump’s misrule of the United States is actually bolstering Xi’s regime.”
Kristoff also avows that since Trump’s ascension to presidency, the American nation became highly polarized. This is reflected in the current administration’s policies on climate change, foreign relations with established U.S. allies, and COVID-19 prevention, all of which are rather ineffective. It also seems like Mr. Trump and his team diverged from the traditional priorities, including promoting free trade, human rights, and other quintessentially American values. As described thoroughly by John Bolton, all these factors contributed to the declining standing of the U.S. in global politics.
What is more, many people fall prey to CCP’s propaganda and its interpretations of Trump’s actions, which only enhances China’s reputation.
But that might not exactly be the case.
The CCP apparently failed to utilize the window of opportunity created by the ineptness of the Trump administration, as China could have grown to the position of a leader by filling in the void left by the U.S.
During the 2016 APEC Ministerial Meeting in Lima, Peru, Xi Jinping and his team actively supported the plans to establish the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and a Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific, or FTAAP. In contrast, the United States withdrew its signature from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) in early 2017. Coupled with China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the establishment of the Asian Infrastructure and Investment Bank (AIIB), this move bolstered China’s capacity to influence global investments and trade, high-tech mergers and acquisitions, and, overall, expand its geostrategic influence on the entire globe.
At the same time, various propaganda films about great power competition, military industry, and science and technology surged all at once, and gained remarkable following around the world.
All this provided a window of opportunity for the CCP to slowly change its course. Around the same time, the distrust for POTUS among U.S. allies’ reached its apex. According to polls conducted by the Pew Research Center, the distrust for the U.S. president in the U.K. reached 75%, 72% in Japan, 70% in Australia, and stunning 86% in France.
Had the C.C.P,. begun to open up at that time, or at least resumed the governance style of the Hu-Wen administration, it could have reaped the benefits of promoting liberalism where the U.S. failed to deliver. It was the time for Beijing to gradually enhance freedom of speech domestically, pursue sustainable infrastructural projects, gradually reform unfair barriers to trade, transform its S.O.E.s, strengthen protections for private ownership, and vitalize its start-ups and enterprises.
Moreover, were China to cease the genocide in East Turkestan and refrain from cracking down on Hong Kong's semi-autonomy, it would have greatly enhanced its global international image. Additionally, if paired with slow but steady reforms, Beijing’s respect for sovereignty of its peoples would have attracted a large amount of foreign investment, which in turn would have continued to buttress the country’s growth.
It is China prerogative to remain idle.
It might still be possible for Chinese “Dream” to come true.
Yet, a historic window of opportunity is now closed.
Xi assumed the tools of proscribing and stalling, which are completely antithetical to the aforementioned window of opportunity.
Today, China is more authoritarian, less flexible, and fully deprived of horizontal accountability. Its reliance on wolf warrior diplomacy backfired: for example, the Swedish parliament sought to expel the Chinese ambassador to Stockholm. Also, Prague, the capital of Czechia, terminated its sister-city agreement with Shanghai and instead signed a new one with Taipei. Last but not least, we ought not to forget about the recent fiasco in the relations with the United States who ordered the shutdown of China’s consulate in Houston. All of this took its toll on China’s reputation.
Its international standing and inability to replace the U.S. as the major global power are not the only issues China is currently facing.
As it experiences multiple domestic and international shocks, China struggles to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and tame the disastrous floods of Yangtze River. The swarm of locusts of biblical proportions is also crippling Beijing’s institutional capacity and may soon lead to food shortages. In fact, the precarity of food supply further diminishes the level of trust for Chinese authorities.
In 2019, the Pew Research Center conducted a public opinion survey to examine the international views of China. In the U.S., Argentina, the U.K., Canada, Germany, and Ukraine, only about 30% of respondents claim a favorable view of China.
As the COVID-19 pandemic rages in the U.S., as many as 73% of U.S. respondents view China unfavorably.
Recently, the C.C.P. is losing its focus by continuously shifting targets. In fact, I believe there is no need for the C.C.P.to rely on nationalistic appeals, since in this new century values, business relations, and fair competition are all far more important than greater than delusive blood ties.
China lies only 130 kilometers away from us. Of course, we welcome dialogue and seek to avoid misjudgments. But we also distinguish between the C.C.P. and China. While we do welcome dialogue, but we will not be coerced to talk under unjust preconditions or in fear.
The only fair prerequisites are those of reciprocity, mutual respect as well as fairness and openness with respect for the rule of law.

最近看到紐約時報中文版的一篇文章
<美國的川普,中國的「川建國」>,其中一小段是這樣的
「在中國,人們戲稱川普的中文名字是川建國。那是因為建國是共產黨愛國者中一個普遍的革命人名。它在諷刺地暗示川普對美國的治理不當實際上是在鞏固習近平的政權。」
裡面也提到,川普在任的幾年,國家更分裂,對於氣候變遷,傳統美國盟友,乃至於疫情處理等都相當拙劣,對於美國傳統的自由貿易、人權等價值也基本上都沒有太大興趣。這些方針,導致美國在世界的評價降低,波頓的新書也多有描述。
除此之外,許多不幸相信中共宣傳,又或者是中共圈養的小粉紅,特別故意愛宣傳川普增強中國的威望。
但這不是真的。
中共完全沒有掌握美國做得不夠好的地方,去增強其在世界的領導力。
在2016年時,秘魯的亞太峰會舉行期間,習近平政權爭取(RCEP)及亞太自由貿易區(FTAAP)談判;對比2017年初,美國剛宣布退出TPP,加上中國到「一帶一路」和亞洲基礎設施投資銀行,中國當時在世界全面發揮投資貿易、高科技併購還有其地緣戰略的影響力。
也是那個時候,各種的大國崛起、大國軍工、大國科技的宣傳影片此起彼落,似乎正準備要在世界舞台發光發熱。
這曾經是中共慢慢轉向的一個機會之窗。彼時(2017)美國盟友對美國總統的不信任度達到歷史新高,根據皮尤研究中心的資訊,英國對於美國總統的不信任度達到75%、日本72% 澳洲70% 法國更高達86%
如果那時中共開始有限度的改革,對內放寬言論自由,或者至少維持在胡溫當時的水中,對外追求有責任的基礎建設,逐步緩慢減低不公平的貿易壁壘,對於國有企業改革,增強私營企業、新創企業的活力。
停止對新疆迫害,不干預香港自治,不僅國際形象會大幅改善,哪怕是緩慢但是穩健的改革,也會讓大量吸引外資,讓中國的活力持續前進。
哪怕是什麼都不做也好
那或許有這麽一點可能性,中國「夢」是可以前行的
但是歷史機緣的大門已經關上。
習、禁、停、放棄了這個機會之窗,徹底的走向相反的方向。
更專制、更沒有彈性,更沒有任何制衡的力量。各種戰狼外交,讓瑞典議員提案驅逐中國大使,捷克布拉格市長與台北簽訂姊妹是,就解散上海與該市關係、被美國關閉領事館、各種讓中國形象低下的事情,中共都沒有少做。
中共不但完全沒有辦法取代美國,在多重國內外的衝擊之下,又是瘟疫,又是超大水患,緊接著蝗害,還有進來的糧食不足問題,正在面臨巨大的瓶頸。
而糧食的命脈,卻恰恰又在對他最不信任,對中共價值最反對的國家聯盟
根據皮尤研究中心:Pew Research Center2019調查各國對中國的喜好度,美國、阿根廷、英國、加拿大、德國、烏克蘭等,對於中國的喜好度都在30%上下
而2020疫情後美國對於中國的不信任度,更高達73%。
最近中共在演習,又要玩轉移目標的手段,對於中共,其實不必再有民族主義的同情,因為新的世紀,價值、商業模式、公平競爭的制度大於血緣幻想。
中國離我們只有130公里的距離,我們當然歡迎對話,避免誤判。但我們同時也區分中共與中國,歡迎對話,但不在前提、條件、恐懼之下對話。
如果真的要有前提,那就是對等、尊重,還有公平公開法治的方式會晤。

Story of Seasons และ Harvest Moon ต่างกันอย่างไร แล้วเลือกเล่นเกมไหนดี ?
.
เห็นการเปิดตัวของ Harvest Moon ภาคใหม่ในชื่อ One World แล้ว เหล่านักเล่นเกมในไทยน่าจะรู้สึกตื่นเต้นกันไม่น้อย เนื่องจากชื่อของ Harvest Moon นั้น เป็นชื่อเก่าเจ้าเดิม ที่พวกเราคุ้นเคยมาตั้งแต่ยุค PlayStation 1
.
แต่ขอให้หยุดความตื่นเต้นนั้นไว้ก่อน เพราะความจริงแล้ว Harvest Moon ของความทรงจำดี ๆ ในวันนั้น กับ Harvest Moon ในวันนี้ ไม่เหมือนกันแม้แต่น้อย...
Continue ReadingWhat is the difference between story of seasons and harvest moon? Which game do you choose?
.
Seeing the launch of harvest moon in one world, the gamers in Thailand should be quite excited because harvest moon is the same old name that we have been familiar with since Playstation 1 ERA.
.
But let's stop that excitement because in fact harvest moon of good memories that day with harvest moon today is not the same.
.
The Feet have gone since the farming game. This game is only name called in Japanese. That's bokujo monogatari (Lóng). The game was released in Japan in 1996 on snes. at that time, the development team wanted to sell the game. All over the world, so we open the opportunity for natsume to translate the game into English. Ready for shipping. Sell in 1997
.
But before the translations were completed until it was released, the big problem happened that the name of the name of the name of the 'livestock' which looks, it was unused. Think about the parents let go. Cool shopping in a video game store. Who will pick up 'Livestock Story' to pay this job, so they think of a brand new name. This is the harvest moon we know now.
.
After that, harvest moon gradually creates memories for the old generation of children. For Thai people should be the most familiar with back to nature. The author still misses the fragrant night of sleeping and wake up to water vegetables in the morning. I got it.
.
But when entering the 15th year of the marvelous entertainment series, the developer studio has integrated with America's aql companies, making the go inter route to outside Japan no longer rely on natsume, resulting in the deal of both companies. Since then, Harvest Moon 3 D: a new beginning (2012) is bokujo monogatari. The last part called harvest moon.
.
In fact, a lot of people wonder how long working for 15 years. How easy is it is this easy to split up? This story, Mr. Yoshifumi Hashimoto, chief of development department of marvelous, has a short notice in E3 2014 that both companies actually have quite different directions. So in the near future they will separate the series. Natsume will be. Continue making games as harvest moon as this is his name. We will use the new name 'story of season' with xseed game. The affiliates as a translation manager.
.
When the two separated, the competition took place inevitably in the 3 s. DS are the era where both series are braised about new innovations happening in the game. We saw story of seasons: Trio of towns that raised the whole town. Different cultures, freelancing system. Harvest Moon is not less. Adjust yourself to stand out for a while in harvest moon: Skytree Village, but slowly, but it's down now.
.
At the moment, story of seasons is going well with doraemon story of seasons that brings the story of immortal comics to be adapted into a vegetable planting game and in July. They prepare to sell story of seasons friends. Of Mineral Town remake of back to nature's remake in English version, which I can tell that fans are preparing to jump tremendously. The future is very bright.
.
But with harvest moon since the end of the 3 S, ds have always been a lot. Can't keep the original standard of the game. The latest part like harvest moon: mad dash has become puzzle game. It's called destroying brand credibility. No good pieces left
.
Do you know about the difference in story of seasons and harvest moon. Who is waiting to play original cuddle, we suggest story of seasons friends of mineral town that will be on sale in July. This sharp only, but if you want to try harvest moon one world in case it comes back to be as fun as the 3 DS, I don't mind.
.
Summary of summary
- Bokujo Monogatari (Shàng) is the name of our well known vegetable planting game.
- got the name of harvest moon because natsume studio translates the language.
- 15 years later, the game developer included with aql from America.
- deal withdrawal with natsume because the direction doesn't match. Plus someone has translated the language.
- bokujo monogatari got a new name as story of seasons. Harvest Moon via natsume will continue.
- story of seasons has been going pretty well, including the latest part has been widely talked about.
- Harvest Moon. Don't keep your own standards.
.
In conclusion, if you want to play the genuine harvest moon that you touched in over ten years ago, it must be 'story of season friends of mineral town' only.
.
