反现实的制裁
不少人一听到"制裁"便怕得要死,瑟瑟发斗,估计是忽略了历史,或许不明现状,或由于种种原因不希望改变目前的病态不公。
早于1949年,被洗劫百年的中国一穷二白,连生产火柴(亦称"洋火)也是国家关注的工业项目,毛泽东面对西方广泛制裁的回应是:“让他们封锁吧,封锁个十年八年,中国的一切问题都解决了……” 当然,没有任何东西能解决中国这样规模国家的所有问题,但当时的西方制裁确实有助于国家在垂死边缘回气生息。假如今天旧西方全面制裁中国,将同样有助加速其重归历史经济地位,并缓解转型期间的内部矛盾。与美国的贸易战已经在若干关键领域做到了这一点。
美国的基本矛盾是身为一个资源丰富的大国,却继承了一个充满野心的细小岛国的基因和战略视野。

Sanctions Against Reality
It’s difficult to apprehend the surreal threat of comprehensive Western sanctions against China. Back in 1949, after a century of neo-colonial marauding, Mao’s response to sanctions was: “Let them isolate and sanction. Sanction us for eight to ten years, and all our problems will be resolved…” Comprehensive sanctions from the old West today will accelerate China’s return to its historical economic position, and ease domestic discontent during the challenging transition

特朗普与马斯克一点也不疯
我非常肯定特朗普和马斯克都不是傻瓜。单看表面而认定他们有病的话会中计,忽略了他们的大局铺排和真正目的,错误看待这百年不遇大变局,不幸的话甚至会招来不必要的损失,因为无论他们成功或失败都会对美国带来巨大改变,影响全球。

Rise and Fall of the Western "Free Press"
Many believe freedom of the press is absolute & inviolable even though it has never existed. That is changing rapidly, unpredictably

Lest we forget --- what?
Lest we forget?Forget what? Lessons we’ve never learned? Will they start WW-3 in Europe (again!) and let MANY more people die for no reason?

欧洲自残之谜
仅仅一百年前的世界大战,世人已忘记得八八九九。简略回顾一下可能会提醒大家曾经因为一时冲动愚昧而付出过的沉重代价,以史为鉴。否则「三战」的导火线不会比上两战的理性文明,但杀伤力是好几个数量级。结果可能是核弹多的毁灭对方三次,核弹少的毁灭对方一次,三比一打成「平手」,地球落得清静。

In the Midst of World War III
Most people are unaware that we are in the midst of World War III, as the antagonists have not yet exchanged missiles. That will happen.

战争与立场
现代战争不一定有硝烟,但可能带来的祸害比传统战争更甚;敌人意图抢掠或摧毁的不单止是眼前的生命和财产,而是整个国家整个民族的前途,世世代代的幸福和自主。但由于暂时没有热辣辣的炮弹乱飞,很多人仍然没有醒觉,不知道我们正处于史诗级的世界大战,而且战况渐入高潮。

The Propaganda War 2.0

中國的輿論抗戰 2.0
我在2015年3月的一篇博文《中國人的輿論抗戰》中說: 「這場不常規的世界大侵略,可以說是兩個世紀來帝國侵略的變態延續。在這反帝國侵略的抗爭中,中國是後來者,處被動狀態。」轉眼六年過去,這「輿論侵略」越來越猛烈瘋狂,到了完全不顧事實,甚至不顧基本邏輯和顏面的地步。為啥呢?

香港不願直面的病根
一元復始,萬象更新,聽起來生氣勃勃,但「去舊立新」說易行難,需要很大決心和勇氣,更要有自知之明和執行能力。香港的復原,當然不會例外。服毒多年的香港內傷深重,最終要靠爺爺出手才暫且脫險,但自愈能力已被重創,康復路程漫長複雜,不瞭解病因的話,甚至會引起併發症。

川普带出人类的存亡警号
川普现象不单纯是美国问题;自称「智人」的人类只不过小行星上的新兴物种,在大图像里不值一提。智人在动物王国的成就关键于群体力量;失去的话连牙更尖爪更利的狗狗也不如,更莫论在食物链顶大吃大喝了。但经过几十年的「个人主义」浪漫化,群体本能已沦为概念,甚至不够个性而遭蔑视,可能是集体找死

臆想国安法
《港版国安法》出台,本来觉得事情已经在专业领导手中,无需边吃瓜边插嘴了,但我对一些执行细节和目标的臆想,好像没有什么人谈及,所以忍不住又要多口。一般港人和香港的所谓“建制派”应该清楚认识这重大里程碑,把握时机,停止投机取巧,为香港的复原和真正回归做实事。

钱作怪
一万亿美债听来数目惊人,但金钱能够换来的“内涵”价值,早在中国落地生根,开枝散叶,多年来翻了不知几十倍了。能够及时适量减持美债最好,否则也并非世界末日。再者,美国够胆赖债吗?在几万亿美元洪水的冲击下,股票资产飙升的话,完全不犯逻辑。大冲洗一轮之后,美元大贬值是最实际的赖债方法

中美博弈的第二最差结局
中美博弈犹如两个高手比武。有切身关系的旁观者,好比下了赌注的观众,心情被拳来拳往牵动。看见自己的拳师打中对方一拳,立即拍腿欢呼;中了人家一招,则高声怪叫,好像世界末日。这些情绪可以营造赛事气氛,但对赛果影响不大,倒不如专心欣赏,有需要时在旁打气,最重要是保持信心团结。信心哪来呢?
