Cool Down Of U.S.-China Relationship

The one who opened the China door in the early 70’s, former Secretary of State, Dr. Henry Kissinger has advised the incoming Biden administration to move quickly to restore lines of communication with China to avoid military conflict.

Kissinger told the session of the Bloomberg New Economy Forum that, “unless there is some basis for some cooperative action, the world will slide into a catastrophe comparable to World War I.”

Kissinger is worried that America and China are now drifting increasingly toward confrontation and they’re now conducting their diplomacy in a confrontational way.

The 97-year old diplomat was the one who paved the way for President Richard Nixon’s historic 1972 trip to China.

Since the pandemic hit this year, President Trump has stepped up his criticism of China blaming them for the spread of the virus and the death toll in the U.S. The relations between the two countries are at the lowest in decades. Trump is planning several new hardline moves against China in the remaining weeks of his term.

President-elect Joe Biden has received a briefing on national security and diplomacy from a group of experts outside of government. Trump is still barring Biden from receiving a classified intelligence briefing that typically is given to a President-elect.

President Trump is also in the middle of a legal battle. He fired the Department of          Homeland Security official Chris Kreisler who had rejected Trump’s claims of widespread voter fraud.

At this critical time, our nation is facing the pandemic disaster and an economic downturn and we do not see any peaceful solution to the political dispute.

Even with the vaccine on the market soon, we still don’t know how many of our sisters and brothers will lose their lives before they can get help. This is really a shameful national tragedy.

  基辛格肺腑之言

七十年代打開中國大陸外交大門的美國前國務卿基辛格博士忠告，即將上任的拜登政府必須侭快重啟中美對話以避免軍事衝突。

基辛格在紐約的一場座談會上表示，除非中美兩國採取合作行動，否則會把世界帶進戰爭的深淵，他十分担擾兩國之交往不斷在惡化中，這位年紀近百的外交家是一九七二年尼克森總統訪華的鋪路人。

自從新冠疫情猖獗以來，川普總統不斷指責新冠病毒來自中國大陸，先後三天內關閉中國駐休斯敦領事館及孔子學院，兩國關係進入冰凍狀態。

由于川普至今不承認敗選，拒絕給總統當選人拜登聼取每日情勢簡報，並在今天又把一位和他意見相左做國家安全部高官克斯利革職，雖然他可能在位只有六十多天， 他仍然執行從阿富汗及伊拉克之辙軍及可能進攻伊朗之軍事行動。

拜登總統當選人今天邀請了一些外交、治安專家座談，聽取他們的簡報。

我們全體國民正遭受嚴重恐怖的疫情，再看華府上演的荒謬大戱，稱為全球民主典範的美國，我們不斷批评其他國家民主選舉不公，這次輪到自己，怎能不讓人汗顏呢。
