Strategic intimacy: US seeks face-to-face rivalry with China
Story by Laura Kelly • 22h • 6 min read
“We believe that intense competition requires intense diplomacy on a range of issues, and in-depth, face-to-face diplomacy is particularly important to managing tensions,” a senior administration official told reporters in a call Friday, previewing Blinken’s trip.
Xi is in a difficult position at home, with an economy still struggling to recover from COVID-19 lockdowns and worsened by the U.S. and other allies diversifying supply chains away from Chinese manufacturing.
美國人認為communication skills 是重要的技能。不光朋友間需要交流，敵人間更需要交流 to avoid misunderstanding and miscalculation。中國人小農意識，以為隻要去中國訪問的就是有求於中國。但是美國官員每次去北京都是嚴辭要求，對中國的製裁絲毫沒有受到訪問的影響。中國人十分不解。他們需要脫離小農思想，學會現代人的打交道方式。

請問全世界有多少國家是公開支持烏克蘭的？又有多少國家是敢公開支持俄羅斯的？為什麽？

We all know China is now a mad dog. Yet it is the previous U.S. administrations that is responsible for spoiling China. China is biting its neighbors and barking at anyone for no apparent reasons. Trump and Biden are skilled dog trainers. Thru training and setting boundary for China, they have made China understand the consequences it would have to bear for misbehaviors. Is China a good dog now? Of course not. Has it improved? Yes. Secretary Blinken’s upcoming visit to Beijing will further correct China’s bad behavior. A few years ago, it’s hard to imagine China would accept such visit. Now it does. We have to give China credit for progress.
不知道有人看過Dog whisperer with Cesar Milan 電視節目沒有？節目裏那些沒有家教的狗搞得主人沒辦法，主人隻好去請專家來調教。Cesar一來，那些狗呲牙咧嘴，攻擊性很強。Cesar訓狗的辦法就是給狗立規矩 show them who is the boss。幾番回合下來，那些曾經蠻橫亂咬的狗都是服服帖帖。狗的主人滿心歡喜，感謝Cesar訓狗有功。在今天，瘋狗就是中國，Cesar就是美國。
