从贸易战看文明冲突
我一向认为“文明冲突”这概念有些自相矛盾。自古以来,人类群体为了生活争夺有限资源在所难免,但与文明不同无关。何谓文明?科技先进不一定代表文明;军事技术先进的野蛮人只会令世界更危险,更多战祸,生灵涂炭。至于乖乖排队则是表面风度,资源丰富社会的自然现象,并不稀奇,也不代表心里“...

短期內解放台灣?
对绝大多数中国人来说,统一是毫无妥协余地的大事,不能永久逃避 ,只看时间和回归方式而已。我認為統一祖國的契機,很大機會在短期,甚至一兩年內出現。

Imminent Liberation of Taiwan?
Without underestimating the risk of a military solution, Taiwan seems ripe for the big change. Indefinite deferment is not feasible

每人五十萬填補香港裂痕
假如我競選香港特首,會以壓倒性票數勝出。而上任後,一眾議員,左右前後,真假民主,都會放下口號,萬眾一心地支持我實現競選承諾。我的競選策略簡單易明,絕無取巧,連中學未畢業的本土革命議員也一聽便心明大義,心急的甚至會上街遊行,強烈要求我提早接班。更妙的是北北京的策略專家們暗自讚許

面對事實等於“反美”?
可能有人認為我很 「反美」,但我對美帝國的看法是基於大量不具爭議的事實,而非偏見或意識形態。其實我年輕時很崇拜美國。好萊塢電影看多了,甚至以為牛仔是英雄,印第安人是野蠻的「紅番」。懂得睜眼看世界之後,看法才逐漸180度轉變。...

我也來撐唐納德(特朗普)
美國大選就像一場連載真人秀。很多外人越看越投入,連自己不是美國人也忘記了。看到唐納德這個混蛋越戰越勇,血壓跟著上升。這個壞傢伙也可以當總統!氣死人了!見到他那髮型,真不開胃!我奉勸大家且不要動氣。第一,這是美國大選,不關咱們屁事。第二,民主選舉不過娛樂事業,誰當選最後都一樣...

英女皇與共產黨
歷史有時像一酲酒,時間可以把它變醇變辣變香變酸。因果循環這東西,並非十年八載可以看得出來的。 話說1792年,英皇喬治三世(外國的皇室替孩子改名似乎不大創新,來來去去不是亨利便是喬治,結果要加版本號辨認)剛剛丟了北美州這大片殖民地,氣得發瘋,於是跟今天的美國一樣,把精力轉移...

風馬牛不相及的學術自由
香港目前的政治環境簡單得出奇,幾句過期口號可以完全描述。排頭的口號當然是佔中期間每天加班的 「民主自由」 啦。這是免死金牌,跟著喊可以愛啥幹啥,毫無後顧之憂。想落也合理。依然有法有天的話,要自由來幹嘛呢?其他熱門口號,根據熟悉程度排位,大概包括:公義!新聞和言論自由!還有最...
