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。

Destiny 2 details, gameplay unveiled
《天命 2》公布实机游玩宣传影片 预定今年夏季展开首波 Beta 测试 PC版为暴雪战网独占
转载 - 巴哈姆特
Bungie 制作,Activision 预定 9 月 8 日同步推出中文版的 PS4 / Xbox One / PC 大型多人在线第一人称动作游戏《天命 2(Destiny 2)》/《命运 2》,18 日公布首部实机游玩宣传影片,供玩家欣赏。
《天命 2》故事叙述地球上最后一座安全无虞的城市遭到红色军团首领攻陷化为废墟,失去一切的守护者将再次集结,掌握新技能与新武器,探索太阳系各地,重新夺回属于人类的世界。
在本次公布的实机游玩宣传影片中,玩家得以一窥三大阵营的守护者英雄在对抗红色军团入侵的战役中,屈居劣势但仍全力奋战的英勇场面,以及完全针对新世代硬件制作的精彩游玩画面。
Activision 首席执行长 Eric Hirshberg 在 18 日举办的游戏实况发表会中还宣布,《天命 2》的 PC 版将与同一集团的 Blizzard 合作,由 Blizzard 旗下的 Battle.net 平台独占发行。 此外并预定于今年夏季展开全平台的 Beta 测试,预购游戏的玩家将可获得抢先参与测试活动的兑换代码。
以下是直播中的流程(转载 A9VG)
开场首先放出的是全新的剧情宣传视频,新的预告片主要讲述了Zavala(泰坦导师)从一个Guardian成为带领整个Guardian的领袖,并且建立了人类在地球的最后城市Tower的故事(《命运》之前的故事)。
开发者称《命运2》将更注重故事细节,将会让玩家进入一个全新的世界。本作有很多全新的内容,制作团队对于1代中的不足部分,在2代中进行了大量的修改和完善。
《命运2》将为一直以来solo的玩家提供更加完善的联机组队体验,强调“即使一个人也能体验到《命运2》的所有内容”。另外发布会上也宣布了将追加全新的4v4 PVP模式。
随后的视频正式公布了《命运2》的实机游戏画面,从中可以看到Cabal大军入侵Tower,他们入侵地球攻占Tower的目的是为了抢占Traveler的科技和能力。
在剧情模式中依然可以3人组队,各职业Vanguard Leader完全参与到了游戏故事模式的战斗中,这些职业导师在前作中只是作为Tower的NPC出现,并没有参与到任何战斗中,这次他们将与玩家在剧情中并肩作战。在实际演示中我们看到了全新的武器系统“Power Weapon”,以及各种全新的武器,例如半自动冲锋枪、榴弹发射器、能量型重武器等。此外演示中还展示了三个职业的全新副职业以及各自的超必杀技。
第三段视频则介绍了本作各职业的全新副职业(术士的DAWNBLADE、泰坦的SENTINEL、猎人的ARCSTRIDER),每个副职业的超必杀技都是基于冷兵器展现的技能(类似于前作泰坦的Hammer of Sol)。
发布会的第四段视频介绍了全新的4个星球,本作不用每次回轨道就可以去其他想去的地方。此外还有全新的游戏模式Countdown,以及类似沙箱游戏一般的探索模式。(NPC互动、城镇等)
《命运2》拥有全新的社交系统Clans(类似网游的公会),每个玩家的活动都将影响整个Clan的发展,包括资源共享以及公会任务等。本作还有全新的雇佣系统,任何solo玩家都可以选择雇佣其他Clan的玩家或团队,从而实现组队。
接下来官方公布了一段总结性质的新预告片,其中包含大量未公开的实机游戏画面。
最后登场的人有些让人意外——暴雪总裁麦克·莫汉通过视频宣布:暴雪、Bungie和动视进行了合作,《命运2》的PC版将会是暴雪战网独占。
那么为什么要在暴雪的游戏平台上引入一款非暴雪出品的游戏呢?官方给出的解释是《命运2》是该系列首次登陆PC平台的作品,如果要为此制作一个全新的网络客户端将导致其开发周期延长。目前登陆战网平台仅限于《命运2》这一款游戏,未来或将评估动视发行的其他游戏登陆战网的需求和可能性。至于第三方游戏,目前暴雪还没有打算提供支持。
暴雪称在游玩《命运2》时能同时和战网其他好友聊天,可以看到好友在玩《命运2》时的状态图标,此外《命运2》还可以使用战网点数购买。更多消息将在今年下半年公开。
Activision and Bungie lifted the lid on Destiny 2 during a gameplay premiere event live streamed online from the Jet Center in Hawthorne, California.
The sequel to the 2014-launched Destiny, Desttiny 2 is a first-person action game that tasks players with defending humanity from annihilation. It offers a fresh start to all players with no previous knowledge or background of the first game necessary. It promises a “heroic, cinematic journey,” which you can play either solo or with friends, and offers a new “Guided Games” feature that allows solo players to find and play with other players to earn new in-game rewards like weapons and armor.
Here’s the full overview, via Activision:
■ Product Description
Destiny 2 is a first-person action game and the evolution of its award winning, internationally acclaimed predecessor, Destiny. With a compelling, immersive story and fresh beginning awaiting all new, returning, casual, and competitive players, Destiny 2 will deliver an experience for new and existing players to discover.
■ Cinematic Story with Relatable Characters
Humanity has fallen to an overwhelming invasion force, led by Lord Ghaul, the imposing commander of the brutal Red Legion. He has stripped Guardians of their power, and forced the survivors to flee their home. Players will venture out into our solar system to discover an arsenal of weapons and devastating new combat abilities. To defeat the Red Legion and confront Ghaul, they must reunite humanity’s scattered heroes, stand together, and fight back to reclaim our home.
■ Four New Stunning Worlds to Explore with New Features
Destinations of Destiny 2
European Dead Zone – The largest destination yet featuring a lush forest, abandoned town, a cave system below the surface, and a Red Legion military base to explore and contest.
Titan – One of Saturn’s Moons where Commander Zavala is regrouping at the hands of Ghaul. There is no land on Titan. Instead, players explore a series of Golden Age platforms surrounded by a rolling ocean.
Nessus – a strange and unstable planetoid that has been fully consumed by the Vex where players will find Cayde-6 is caught up in his own adventures in a stunning landscape of sheer walls, lush canyons, and creepy Vex caverns.
Io – A moon of Jupiter, where Ikora Rey has gone in search of answers. Io is the last known site the Traveler visited during the Golden Age, it’s now occupied by our enemies.
All New Director
Your guide throughout Destiny 2 in your search for Adventures, Lost Sectors, new Public Events, and more. Players can pick a landing zone, explore, and seamlessly jump into other activities in game.
Adventures
Shorter missions with self-contained stories for players to learn more about the Destiny 2 universe and the characters that live there.
Lost Sectors
Scattered, enemy dungeon layers throughout the world you can discover with unique boss enemies guarding treasure to earn.
Public Events
Unique, optional, dynamic combat activities that players can join on the fly as they roam around the world solo or with up to nine other players.
■ Action, Adventure, and Gameplay Activities for All Types of Players: New, Returning, Casual, and Competitive
Play Solo or with Friends
Story Campaign – Narrative of Destiny 2’s cinematic story where players can also explore in Adventures, Patrols, Lost Sectors, Quests, and Public Events.
Join Friends to Complete Cooperative Experiences
Strikes – Three-player missions in Destiny 2.
The Raid – Six-player missions with incredible challenges and rewards.
Face-off Against Opponents in Competitive Experiences
The Crucible: Competitive 4v4 PvP Gameplay with New Modes and Maps
Countdown is a new competitive mode where players spawn on either Offense or Defense, and when the round ends you swap sides and roles. The goal is to plant a bomb at the enemy base, and then defend it until it explodes. Each round is worth one point. First team to six wins. To revive a teammate, you must use a revive token. Power weapon ammo is only granted to the one player who pulls it. Working as a team is the key to victory.
Midtown is an abandoned part of the City. When the Red Legion invaded, they completely ignored this sector of the City in their takeover. The Legion deemed Midtown was of no tactical importance. Lord Shaxx agrees, which is why it was chosen as a Crucible arena in the first place.
Clan Creation Feature
New integrated system that allows friends to bring their community and unique culture to the forefront of Destiny. Clans have been fully integrated into the game and will provide official banners, invitations, and their own rewards and experience systems for all members.
