Garnesh: When you are in Washington, you will feel that a country is sliding to confront China with endless debates.This degree of civilization is disturbing.
The fierce party struggle has its own use.At least, a split country can comfort himself: All the government's ideas have been reviewed and all opposed.If the censorship is due to the maliciousness of the tribe, not the Socrates to seek truth, it may become more real.The United States is currently in a torn state mdash; MDASH; even daily wearing masks is political Mdash; mdash; but it avoids the same danger in the opposite direction: without thinking consensus.
Except for the most important policies in this century.In Washington, you will feel that a country is running to confront China endlessly, and the debate is rare.Those politicians who can be expected to argue in the sky or 2 plus 2 are equal to the necessity of a superpower duel.In the campaign advertisement like Lambo's pre -reported film, Joe Biden just accused Donald Bull; President Donald Trump's position was too flexible to China.
The Democratic presidential candidate is not a rare warrior in his party.Senate Democratic Party leader Chake Bull; Chuck Schumer urged the president to insist on a tough position on the tariff issue, because strength is the only way to win with China.No one asked him, which historical history can provide evidence for his veterans?Or would he suggest that the president shows weakness to which country?No, it will ask for debate.At present, no matter in Washington and the corporate sector, no evidence of debate is not found at least in the official record.Scholars are more willing to express their doubts, but their quantities or impacts are not great.
As a result, a very American thing: consensus, and it not only involves the future, but also more and more involved in the past.Now everyone knows that before Trump entered the White House, Washington was full of Trust trust (WHIG), and always bet on material benefits to make China a large Japan or South Korea: a democracyState, an ally.According to this idea, China joined the World Trade Organization (the World Trade Organization) is the US promoter accidentally put on the crown for its opponents.
Leaving aside the slander of the two presidents of George HW Bush and Barack; Barack Obama (the former has ignored Beijing's request and insisted on selling tariffs on Chinese tires).It also has the idea of only two choices about MDASH; mdash; either the innocence of liberalism or the idea of investing in the second Cold War mdash; mdash;Just like MDASH; mdash; at that time, the United States lost China at the time, causing it to fall into the hand of the Communist Party mdash; mdash; the premise of this idea is: the country with the largest population on the earth, the oldest and oldest civilization,With the rise and fall of the US policy.Regarding its own initiative, the statement about its reform after 1978 will restore its status, and it has become an alternative speech in Washington.
All of this is not praying for ease (how easy the term of the Soviet era to return).The struggle between the United States and China may not only be argued, but also destined.We now know the theory of international relations.One is a strong country that is rising, and the other is the old power; the other is a one -party state, and the other is a democratic country: the material of the conflict is placed there.However, while trusting these, they still feel uneasy about lack of public discussion and well -known opponents.Even in the early days of the Cold War, Senator Robert Bull; Robert TAFT opposed NATO.There was also a diplomat George Bull; George Kennan mdash; mdash; Mdash; mdash; Mdash; considering curbing strategy was a good misunderstanding of his suggestions.The United States at the time of submission of these minority reports is far more pleasant than today.
The absence of such voices in the moment is disturbing.Because this means that the policy has not been scrutable and has not been tested by stress.For example, it is no longer clear that the dissatisfaction of the United States stops in China, or it extends to China's way of treating the people of its own country.Vice President Mike Bull; Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Bull; Mike Pompeo mentioned the latter more frequently.Democrats often mention this more often than Republicans.If this mission is aligned, it will be very important if it exists.Economic confrontation is already tricky.Cere about a confrontation in governance philosophy, the difficulty of clever treatment will be much higher.
Another potential impact of this consensus is that different opinions are becoming political taboos.This involves a dark history that has to be mentioned.It was forgotten that McCarthonism had nothing to do with Russia, but because the United States was said to lose China.American diplomats were chased by their national members at the time (right wing took the lead in the cancellation culture).When Harry Truman, the president of Harry Truman, abandoned General Douglas Macarthur, who was eager to fight against China, not everyone supported the leaders of the civilian officials.
Washington is far from reaching such an enthusiasm.However, even in accordance with the standard of the election, it is not willing to say any attitude that may be explained as flexible speech.The ultimate advantage of the United States is the noise of its public discourse.On the Chinese issue, its degree of civilization is disturbing.
