At a roundtable inside the center’s Beijing headquarters, various contributors to the book, all leaders of trade groups and multinational corporations(MNCs) in China.     

地缘政治中的中美关系与台湾问题

台湾所处的地理位置决定了它在东亚-西太平洋地区的地缘政治与地缘战略中具有 特殊重要的意义。中美冷战时期,台湾成为美国遏制中国的地缘战略工具。随着中美关系的缓和, 台湾在该地区地缘政治中的重要性大幅下降。冷战结束以来,随着中美关系被美国的战略决策者 定位成战略上的竞争关系,台湾对美国而言的地缘战略价值再次上升。这正是台湾问题具有长期 性、复杂性的根本原因之一。     

Pretexts for Intervention

正Since taking office the Joe Biden administration has made no clear statement about U.S. Middle East strategy, indicating there will probably be no major changes for the time being, and the evacuation of U.S.troops from Afghanistan is unlikely to change the U.S. mindset.     

台湾当局与尼克松政府关于中美大使级会谈的交涉

多年来,台湾当局始终反对中美大使级会谈。美国为了安抚台湾,每次大使级会谈后都向其通报内容。然而,尼克松当政时期,美方向台方的通报却隐瞒了最敏感的内容,即美方在＂台湾问题＂上的新表述和中美举行高级会谈的事宜。然由于美方的通报涉及与中方讨论＂台湾问题＂及签署支持＂和平共处五项原则＂的联合声明,台湾当局向美方提出了交涉与抗议。蒋介石本人也深受打击,不再信任尼克松。尽管尼克松勉力安抚蒋介石,不断重申美国将坚守对台承诺,但都不能减轻蒋的疑虑。台美关系也因此变得更为复杂而敏感。     

Old Tricks,New Tracks

With 102 evidences of U.S. interference from five aspects, Fact Sheet: U.S. Interference in Hong Kong Affairs and Support for Anti-China,Destabilizing Forces, released by China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on September 24, is considered by experts to be a strong response to the U.S. bullying acts.     

A NEW NORMAL IN CHINA-U.S. TIES

Despite rivalry in some fields,the two largest economies can still cooperate The 2020 U.S.election,with a complex and controversial outcome,has seen the dust settle after months of farce and chaos with Joe Biden sworn in as the 46th U.S.president on January 20.However,party polarization still continues in the U.S.and more complicated confrontations between the Democrats and Republicans are anticipated in the future.     

The False Narrative On Basic Rights

正The U.S. has made human rights a central component of its foreign policy since the Jimmy Carter administration(1977-81). Carter, seeking to improve the international image of the U.S. in the aftermath of the Viet Nam War, criticized human rights abuses and the lack of political freedoms in various U.S.-allied dictatorships, including Chile and Nicaragua. Such criticisms were designed not only to enhance the reputation of the U.S. internationally but also to buttress and give credibility to its ongoing ideological warfare against the socialist world.     

Anti-Virus Cooperation Is a Must

正U.S.intelligence agencies failed to reach a conclusion on the origin of the COVID-19 virus within 90days as demanded by President Joe Biden,another solid piece of evidence that the U.S.is politicizing virus origin tracing in a game of deflection.     

Trojan Horse Strategy

The U.S. interest in Hong Kong is not for residents' welfare but to prop up its own waning influence The new $900-billion relief package signed by U.S. President Donald Trump on December 27, 2020, designed to supplement the U.S. economy over the impact of the novel coronavirus disease(COVID-19), is hardly straightforward in its purpose. It is being utilized as a vehicle for other things, which in fact have little to do with the virus or the U.S economy.     

Provocation Doomed to Fail

Tensions across the Taiwan Straits have recently escalated due to actions on the part of several U.S. politicians as well as some pro-independence parties on the island. On October 26, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed his country's "support" for Taiwan joining the United Nations, a blunt violation of the one-China principle. At the same time, the Taiwan authority is increasingly, and recklessly so, challenging the bottom line of the Central Government in Beijing. In her CNN interview on October 28, Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen confirmed that U.S. troops are training local military forces on the island, making Tsai the first Taiwanese authority to admit to the presence of U.S. military on the island.     

Uncertainty,the Only Certainty for Afghanistan

正Afghanistan is the battlefield where the U.S.army fought the longest overseas.Since U.S.President Joe Biden took office in January,the war's future course has come in the spotlight.According to an agreement signed between the Donald Trump administration and the Taliban in late February 2020,the U.S.     

A Due Regard for Multilateralism

A World Trade Organization (WTO) arbitrator on January 26 ruled on the case of the United States—Countervailing Duty Measures on Certain Products From China, determining that China may impose trade retaliations against the U.S. with respect to trade in goods in the amount of$645 million annually given the U.S. failure to comply with a WTO ruling in force. China now urges the U.S. to take immediate action to right its wrongs in trade remedy investigations targeting China.     

Skyrocketing House Prices and Stagnating Wages,What's Wrong?

With the U.S. economy still reeling from the COVID-19 pandemic and record unemployment, real estate prices continue to skyrocket, pricing thousands of house hunters out of the market in the U.S. and Canada. This may seem counterintuitive for an economy that is still recovering from recession, is yet to reach 2019 GDP levels and saw unemployment peak at just over 14 percent in April, 2020. The last time U.S. home prices raised this quickly, it led to an ensuing crash that brought down the global economy.     

PACKED TO THE RAFTERS

From 2018 to 2020, the number of U.S. companies attending the China International Import Expo (CIIE) increased from 180 to 198, with their total exhibition area one of the largest among all participating countries and regions. This year, some 200 U.S. com-panies attended the expo's fourth edition that took place in Shanghai from November 5 to 10, hitting a new high. Their active engagement in the CIIE mirrors U.S. businesses' continued passion for the Chinese market, the only major economy to achieve positive growth last year amid the worldwide impact of COVID-19, a Xinhua News Agency commentary read.     

“The China problem” in the eyes of the China‐watchers

This research is a survey study of the opinions of one group of China scholars in the U.S.—scholars teaching Chinese politics in American universities—on issues concerning the People's Republic of China. Our findings suggest that despite some new developments in the Sinologist community in the U.S., China scholars continue to favor more generous and more pragmatic approaches toward China. They are more concerned with practical issues such as regional stability and economic ties with China and do not want the U.S. to be highly moralistic in dealing with China.

论美国《金融服务现代化法》对我国金融监管立法的启示

《金融服务现代化法》是美国金融法史上一部重大、意义深远的法律,其许多规定对世界各国金融立法和金融监管发展方向产生重要影响。它在金融业实现混业经营前提下所确立的功能监管原则给中国金融监督立法带来有益的启示。中国金融监管立法应考虑构建统一基本法,引入功能监管、双线多头监管制。     

A Shift in Democracy

The U.S. hosted the virtual "Summit for Democracy" on December 9-10. It is a striking irony that it occurred shortly after the U.S. chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, which it invaded basically to establish "democracy" and eliminate terrorism.     

RISE AND FALL

正'Kabul,Afghanistan,I love my job!"Nicole L.Gee,a 23-year-old marine from California posted on her Instagram on August21,holding up a photo of herself cradling an Afghan newborn.The image also made it onto the U.S.Department of Defense 's social media pages.     

世界格局多极化的系统论思考

本文运用系统思维方法,从系统论的角度,用过程的观点对战后世界格局发展、演变的历史加以分析和研究,认为多极格局虽然尚未形成,但多极化趋势却是上升的历史大趋势.美国目前在政治、经济、军事等各个领域所拥有的优势只是阶段性优势,相对于美国实现其独霸全球的目标,并不具有胜势.其独霸全球的战略构想与行动是逆历史潮流而动的,单极霸权是与世界发展所要求的多元化、多极化格局格格不入的.
