“正如我們最近幾周所討論的, 我們的政府運作已經崩是潰狀態. 不僅是外交，幾乎所有的政府管理環節都處於崩潰狀態。 這就是為什麽我們卷入伊朗戰爭的原因。 這場戰爭未經深思熟慮，無論從戰略還是戰術層麵上都未經思考。 種種跡象表明, 這是一場由特朗普一個人決定的戰爭。他對第二天會發生什麽毫無頭緒。我們把自己困在一件代價高昂、及其危險的戰爭中, 而且這場戰爭的結局與任何所謂的戰爭解釋或目的都相去甚遠。這些解釋或目的沒有一個是成立的，也一個都無法實現。
我們的流程出了問題。 政府其實是一個嚴肅的機構。 它需要嚴肅的會議，需要大量的計劃、準備、談判和外交。 一個靠社交媒體上那些令人費解、怪異、危險、令人分散注意力的帖子來運行的政府，並非真正的政府。 所以, 現在美國麵臨一個嚴重的長期問題，非常嚴重。那就是我們國會的政客被特殊利益所腐蝕, 而我們的行政部門運轉不靈。 我們沒有計劃，沒有外交，也沒有跨部門的協作。 我們充其量隻能算是盲目飛行，有時我們甚至被困在停機坪上。相比之下，中國政府及其治理體係極為成熟完善。 這也許會讓人倍感驚訝: 如果說一人統治，那其實是現在的美國。 如果說的是有一個複雜的過程, 那就是中國。 中國剛剛宣布了第十五個計劃, 這是第十五個經濟計劃。 我認識許多參與專家審查、委員會、審議和談判的人，包括一些中國的頂尖學者、頂尖專家。 這是一個極其細致周密的審議過程。美國根本沒有這樣的流程。
中國埋頭苦幹，40多年來遠離戰爭，建立了世界一流的經濟體，並打造了至今為止全球最大的製造業。 有些人大喊 "哦, 他們竊取了這一切“,” 他們這樣做不公平"。 不是。 中國所做的是年複一年的大量投資，係統性的投資, 提前計劃, 為長期技術進步取得顯著進展。 這一切，都得到了回報。它帶來了最大規模、最高效的製造業，在電動汽車領域處於領先地位，在眾多關鍵技術領域名列前茅，因為他們一直為之努力，並遠離戰爭。
如果美國也遠離戰爭, 現在浪費在炸毀東西上的數萬億美元 （這些錢沒有用於美國人民和美國經濟），就可以投資到長期的全球競爭力、美國人民和美國勞動力的和平與福祉上。 所以我們真正應該做的是嚴肅的長期計劃，不是為戰爭，而是為民生目的進行投資。 正是基於這個根本原因, 這次峰會基本上是按中國的意願進行的。 因為按照購買力平價調整後的正確衡量標準, 中國現在的規模已經比美國大百分之三十左右了，而且在無數工業領域處於領先地位。他們通過投資和長期和平的方式做到了這一點。”
As we’ve been discussing in recent weeks, our governmental processes are in a state of collapse, Not only our diplomacy, but almost everything about the government management is in a state of collapse. That’s why we’re in a war in Iran. It was not thought through either strategically or tactically. It is from every single indication a war decided by one person by Trump without any idea of what was gonna happen the second day and we trapped ourselves in something that is very costly and very dangerous and where it’s not going to end on terms remotely close to any of the varied explanations or purposes so called of this war, none of which were valid and none of which are going to be achieved. So we have a breakdown of process. Government is actually a serious institution. It requires serious meetings. It requires lots of planning, preparation, negotiation, and diplomacy. A government that runs on truth social posts, many of which are head-scratchingly bizarre, dangerous, weird. Distracting is not government. So, we have a serious long term problem in the United States right now. Very serious, which is that our politicians in the Congress are corrupted by special interests, and our executive branch doesn’t work. We don’t plan. We don’t have diplomacy. We don’t have interagency processes right now. We’re at best flying blind if we’re flying. Sometimes we’re stuck on the tarmac. If I compare that with China, Chinese government and governance is extremely sophisticated. This may surprise people: if you talk about one person rule, that’s actually the United States right now. If you talk about a complex process, that is China. China just announced its fifteenth plan, it's a fifteenth economic plan. I know many of the people that were involved in expert reviews and committees and deliberations and negotiations. Some of China’s top scholars and top experts. It was an extraordinarily detailed and deliberative process. We have nothing like this in the US. China basically has put its head down and for more than 40 years stayed out of war and built a world class economy and built by far the largest manufacturing sector in the world. And for all the people shouting “Oh they stole this, they did this, unfair”. No. What China did was invest heavily. Year after year, invest systematically plan ahead, make significant programs for long term technological advancement. And this is paying off. It’s paying off with the largest manufacturing sector, the most costs effective manufacturing sector, the leader in electric vehicles, the leader across many many key technologies, because they’ve been working hard at it and staying clear of war. If the United States would stay clear of war, the trillions of dollars that we’ve wasting now in blowing up things and that are not helping the American people or the American economy, would be invested in long term global competitiveness, peace and wellbeing of the American people and American workforce. So, we should be doing serious long term none-war, planning and investment for civilian purposes. It’s for that fundamental reason why this summit basically went China’s way. Because China’s now by the correct measurement that is at what’s called purchasing power adjusted prices, an economy that’s about 30% larger than America’s now and at the cutting edge of countless industrial activities. They’ve done it through investment and a long term peaceful approach.
