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

七十年代打开中国大陆外交大门的美国前国务卿基辛格博士忠告，即将上任的拜登政府必须侭快重啟中美对话以避免军事冲突。

基辛格在纽约的一场座谈会上表示，除非中美两国採取合作行动，否则会把世界带进战争的深渊，他十分担扰两国之交往不断在恶化中，这位年纪近百的外交家是一九七二年尼克森总统访华的铺路人。

自从新冠疫情猖獗以来，川普总统不断指责新冠病毒来自中国大陆，先后三天内关闭中国驻休斯敦领事馆及孔子学院，两国关係进入冰冻状态。

由于川普至今不承认败选，拒绝给总统当选人拜登聼取每日情势简报，并在今天又把一位和他意见相左做国家安全部高官克斯利革职，虽然他可能在位只有六十多天， 他仍然执行从阿富汗及伊拉克之辙军及可能进攻伊朗之军事行动。

拜登总统当选人今天邀请了一些外交、治安专家座谈，听取他们的简报。

我们全体国民正遭受严重恐怖的疫情，再看华府上演的荒谬大戱，称為全球民主典范的美国，我们不断批评其他国家民主选举不公，这次轮到自己，怎能不让人汗顏呢。
