超級星期二初選改變政治版圖

全美國十五個州及美屬薩摩亞週二投票初選， 現任民主黨總統拜登及共和黨籍之川普皆輕鬆過關， 註定代表兩黨在今年十一月角逐白宮大位。 在全國地方及參眾議員之初選也同時舉行， 更牽動了當地的許多政治版圖。

共和黨全國代表大會有2429 張代表選票，參選人必須拿到至少1215 張選票。 此次初選之後川普已經超過此數字，他篤定成為總統候選人 ，可能重返白宮執政。

今天世界局勢充滿變數， 從俄烏之戰到中東戰爭及臺海情勢 ，是近幾十年來最危險之時刻。 此時之美國大選勢必影響到未來之世界局勢。

無可諱言， 今天中國大陸之崛起正在改變世界之政治格局， 美國面對此一挑戰， 正在聯合許多國家企圖阻止中國之發展 ，因此中美之間之矛盾和競賽將會繼續加劇。

我們認為， 今年總統大選及參眾議員之改選 ，將會影響美國及世界未來之走向。 如果戰爭無法結束， 包括俄羅斯、 北韓、 伊朗及許多中東國家必然會結集力量對抗美國及其盟邦， 未來的世界必然充斥著極大之危機。

Super Tuesday Primary Election Changes The Political Map

Fifteen States and Samoa voted   for the primary election on Tuesday. The current Democratic President Joe Biden and Republican Donald Trump passed through the election process easily. They are destined to represent the two parties to run for the White House in the November presidential election. The national and local primary election was also held at the same time which has also changed many local political maps. 

The Republican National Convention has 2,429 votes. A candidate must get 1,215 votes to represent the  party to run for president. Trump 

has exceeded this number. He has become a presidential candidate and may return to White House. 

Today's world situation is full of variables and uncertainties. From the war between Russia and Ukraine to the war in the Middle East and the situation in the Taiwan Strait, the world is at a dangerous and unsettling moment not seen in many decades. At this time of the U.S. presidential election, the outcome will certainly affect the future of the whole world. 

Today the rise of China is changing the political landscape of the world. In the face of this challenge, the United States is uniting with many countries to prevent China’s development. Therefore, the contradictions and competition between the two countries will continue to intensify. 

We believe that if many of the problems of the world cannot find any solutions, the future of the world is bound to be full of great crises.
