重九登高快樂,去劍橋啦!😂😄
英國劍橋終於無法忍受中國遊客大舉入侵,反對劍橋淪為「黃金周」的萬里長城,劍橋市政府準備限制中國人入城。只是見錢眼開的英國政府怎捨得?
重溫本人兩年前之準確預見、溫馨警示,益見KOL 兼知識份子身處大時代,要客觀、中立、超然,先劍橋之憂而憂,後強國之樂而樂,也真不容易呢!
【英國痴,劍橋迷】2015年11月12日
中國人的親英崇洋,銘刻在骨髓裏。英國的劍橋鎮,有人遊訪回報,早已黑壓壓喧鬧一片,淪為唐人街。
因為中國家長,包括香港中環人,崇慕牛津劍橋與他們追求LV、Gucci、法國拉弗紅酒的瘋狂相同。不但子女能上牛劍,一圓「中國夢」,連護老院改名「劍橋」,老人家最後一程,如果不被中國人員工剝清光洗浴示眾的話,本來也走得特別優雅。
英國朋友不解,曾經問我:中國人為什麼那麼迷戀英國,特別是劍橋呢?
我答:「因為英國劍橋,有一位不朽的代言人,名叫徐志摩。」英國朋友問:「這個姓徐的,來劍橋讀過書嗎?」我答:不但讀過,還留下很偉大的詩篇名句。
我Google,找了徐志摩的篇章,向英國朋友口譯:「在康河的柔波裏,我甘心做一條水草;」我說:「This guy would rather like to be a weed floating on the Cambridge river, than a Chinese.」英國朋友笑了起來。
然後我再口譯徐志摩名句:「我的眼,是康橋教我睜的。我的求知慾,是康橋給我撥動的。我的自我意識,是康橋給我胚胎的。我慢慢的發現了康橋,我不曾知道過更大的愉快。」
徐志摩是由英國人來Define的,他將天堂介紹給中國人。但是,徐志摩有一樣不好,他去完英國劍橋,回來他的祖國,就覺得中國樣樣不順眼了,包括風景頂級的杭州西湖:「什麼西湖,這簡直是一鍋腥臊的熱湯,西湖的水本來就淺,又不流通。水渾不用說,風一來可真難受極了,又熱又帶腥味兒,真叫人發眩作嘔。」
中國人將徐志摩當偶像,所以劍橋為徐詩人立銅碑。這樣一來,中國人更痴迷英國了。
我看不過眼,曾多次告誡中國人:你們可不可以不要那麼親英呢,陰功?這個徐志摩比那個「香江第X才子」更洋奴一百倍,至少那個香江第幾的也去過杭州,覺得西湖邊蓋了卡拉OK、房地產、星巴克咖啡,看上去,也很和諧,不覺得作嘔。但徐志摩如果今日再去劍橋,看見那麼多農民中國人,他會像聖殿裏看見小販的耶穌,捲起一條繩子就掃場鞭打。
連去了英國讀書,回來掌摑老母,也用英文開罵。我今生最大的夢想,就是中國人不要太戀慕英國。或許,香港的劍橋護老院,請多幫忙,多虐待幾個老人,拆英國佬的招牌,幫中國人解一解徐志摩的劍橋痴咒。

大家早安
歡迎收看我的踢足球荒唐文
當皇家馬德里遇上蕭婆莫莉
由於 American Tourister Taiwan 代言人是世界足球明星C羅
這趟西班牙馬德里的體驗行程
就帶大家來到 Estadio santiago bernabéu
原本以為只是單純性的參觀球場
沒想到突然大家被帶到球員休息室
在裡頭迎接大家的是印有我們每個人名字的足球衣(驚)
接著我們得知每個人都可以上場踢足球
只要射進球門就有禮物
最好笑的是我們還要像球員一樣霸氣光榮進場
我只能說我實在很愛演
不是真球員態度也要演出來啊
看我出場的浮誇姿態就知道我多有事
進場後發現ok傻眼球門離超遠
我應該是要投胎才射得進去
瞬間覺得足球運動員腿力都是浩克等級
沒關係
就像我剛剛說的
踢不進沒關係
我們態度還是要有
助跑超遠一腳給它踢下去
我認真覺得我姿勢不錯啊哈哈哈哈哈哈
蠻有樣子吼
而且我其實踢得蠻遠(幸好平常有運動XDDDD)
實在覺得這個體驗太特別
如果不是因為這次工作
我一輩子都不可能在這裡踢足球啊(大概只有在夢裡吧)
喔對了中午請大家來看我與C羅的見面哈哈哈哈

I have recently perused Nicholas Kristof’s NYT piece “China’s Man in Washington, Named Trump”(https://nyti.ms/3h2JXh8). One paragraph in particular caught my attention: “A joke in China suggests that Trump’s Chinese name is Chuan Jianguo, or “Build-the-Country Trump.” That’s because Build-the-Country is a common revolutionary name among Communist patriots, and it’s mockingly suggested that Trump’s misrule of the United States is actually bolstering Xi’s regime.”
Kristoff also avows that since Trump’s ascension to presidency, the American nation became highly polarized. This is reflected in the current administration’s policies on climate change, foreign relations with established U.S. allies, and COVID-19 prevention, all of which are rather ineffective. It also seems like Mr. Trump and his team diverged from the traditional priorities, including promoting free trade, human rights, and other quintessentially American values. As described thoroughly by John Bolton, all these factors contributed to the declining standing of the U.S. in global politics.
What is more, many people fall prey to CCP’s propaganda and its interpretations of Trump’s actions, which only enhances China’s reputation.
But that might not exactly be the case.
The CCP apparently failed to utilize the window of opportunity created by the ineptness of the Trump administration, as China could have grown to the position of a leader by filling in the void left by the U.S.
During the 2016 APEC Ministerial Meeting in Lima, Peru, Xi Jinping and his team actively supported the plans to establish the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and a Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific, or FTAAP. In contrast, the United States withdrew its signature from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) in early 2017. Coupled with China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the establishment of the Asian Infrastructure and Investment Bank (AIIB), this move bolstered China’s capacity to influence global investments and trade, high-tech mergers and acquisitions, and, overall, expand its geostrategic influence on the entire globe.
At the same time, various propaganda films about great power competition, military industry, and science and technology surged all at once, and gained remarkable following around the world.
All this provided a window of opportunity for the CCP to slowly change its course. Around the same time, the distrust for POTUS among U.S. allies’ reached its apex. According to polls conducted by the Pew Research Center, the distrust for the U.S. president in the U.K. reached 75%, 72% in Japan, 70% in Australia, and stunning 86% in France.
Had the C.C.P,. begun to open up at that time, or at least resumed the governance style of the Hu-Wen administration, it could have reaped the benefits of promoting liberalism where the U.S. failed to deliver. It was the time for Beijing to gradually enhance freedom of speech domestically, pursue sustainable infrastructural projects, gradually reform unfair barriers to trade, transform its S.O.E.s, strengthen protections for private ownership, and vitalize its start-ups and enterprises.
Moreover, were China to cease the genocide in East Turkestan and refrain from cracking down on Hong Kong's semi-autonomy, it would have greatly enhanced its global international image. Additionally, if paired with slow but steady reforms, Beijing’s respect for sovereignty of its peoples would have attracted a large amount of foreign investment, which in turn would have continued to buttress the country’s growth.
It is China prerogative to remain idle.
It might still be possible for Chinese “Dream” to come true.
Yet, a historic window of opportunity is now closed.
Xi assumed the tools of proscribing and stalling, which are completely antithetical to the aforementioned window of opportunity.
Today, China is more authoritarian, less flexible, and fully deprived of horizontal accountability. Its reliance on wolf warrior diplomacy backfired: for example, the Swedish parliament sought to expel the Chinese ambassador to Stockholm. Also, Prague, the capital of Czechia, terminated its sister-city agreement with Shanghai and instead signed a new one with Taipei. Last but not least, we ought not to forget about the recent fiasco in the relations with the United States who ordered the shutdown of China’s consulate in Houston. All of this took its toll on China’s reputation.
Its international standing and inability to replace the U.S. as the major global power are not the only issues China is currently facing.
As it experiences multiple domestic and international shocks, China struggles to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and tame the disastrous floods of Yangtze River. The swarm of locusts of biblical proportions is also crippling Beijing’s institutional capacity and may soon lead to food shortages. In fact, the precarity of food supply further diminishes the level of trust for Chinese authorities.
In 2019, the Pew Research Center conducted a public opinion survey to examine the international views of China. In the U.S., Argentina, the U.K., Canada, Germany, and Ukraine, only about 30% of respondents claim a favorable view of China.
As the COVID-19 pandemic rages in the U.S., as many as 73% of U.S. respondents view China unfavorably.
Recently, the C.C.P. is losing its focus by continuously shifting targets. In fact, I believe there is no need for the C.C.P.to rely on nationalistic appeals, since in this new century values, business relations, and fair competition are all far more important than greater than delusive blood ties.
China lies only 130 kilometers away from us. Of course, we welcome dialogue and seek to avoid misjudgments. But we also distinguish between the C.C.P. and China. While we do welcome dialogue, but we will not be coerced to talk under unjust preconditions or in fear.
The only fair prerequisites are those of reciprocity, mutual respect as well as fairness and openness with respect for the rule of law.

最近看到紐約時報中文版的一篇文章
<美國的川普,中國的「川建國」>,其中一小段是這樣的
「在中國,人們戲稱川普的中文名字是川建國。那是因為建國是共產黨愛國者中一個普遍的革命人名。它在諷刺地暗示川普對美國的治理不當實際上是在鞏固習近平的政權。」
裡面也提到,川普在任的幾年,國家更分裂,對於氣候變遷,傳統美國盟友,乃至於疫情處理等都相當拙劣,對於美國傳統的自由貿易、人權等價值也基本上都沒有太大興趣。這些方針,導致美國在世界的評價降低,波頓的新書也多有描述。
除此之外,許多不幸相信中共宣傳,又或者是中共圈養的小粉紅,特別故意愛宣傳川普增強中國的威望。
但這不是真的。
中共完全沒有掌握美國做得不夠好的地方,去增強其在世界的領導力。
在2016年時,秘魯的亞太峰會舉行期間,習近平政權爭取(RCEP)及亞太自由貿易區(FTAAP)談判;對比2017年初,美國剛宣布退出TPP,加上中國到「一帶一路」和亞洲基礎設施投資銀行,中國當時在世界全面發揮投資貿易、高科技併購還有其地緣戰略的影響力。
也是那個時候,各種的大國崛起、大國軍工、大國科技的宣傳影片此起彼落,似乎正準備要在世界舞台發光發熱。
這曾經是中共慢慢轉向的一個機會之窗。彼時(2017)美國盟友對美國總統的不信任度達到歷史新高,根據皮尤研究中心的資訊,英國對於美國總統的不信任度達到75%、日本72% 澳洲70% 法國更高達86%
如果那時中共開始有限度的改革,對內放寬言論自由,或者至少維持在胡溫當時的水中,對外追求有責任的基礎建設,逐步緩慢減低不公平的貿易壁壘,對於國有企業改革,增強私營企業、新創企業的活力。
停止對新疆迫害,不干預香港自治,不僅國際形象會大幅改善,哪怕是緩慢但是穩健的改革,也會讓大量吸引外資,讓中國的活力持續前進。
哪怕是什麼都不做也好
那或許有這麽一點可能性,中國「夢」是可以前行的
但是歷史機緣的大門已經關上。
習、禁、停、放棄了這個機會之窗,徹底的走向相反的方向。
更專制、更沒有彈性,更沒有任何制衡的力量。各種戰狼外交,讓瑞典議員提案驅逐中國大使,捷克布拉格市長與台北簽訂姊妹是,就解散上海與該市關係、被美國關閉領事館、各種讓中國形象低下的事情,中共都沒有少做。
中共不但完全沒有辦法取代美國,在多重國內外的衝擊之下,又是瘟疫,又是超大水患,緊接著蝗害,還有進來的糧食不足問題,正在面臨巨大的瓶頸。
而糧食的命脈,卻恰恰又在對他最不信任,對中共價值最反對的國家聯盟
根據皮尤研究中心:Pew Research Center2019調查各國對中國的喜好度,美國、阿根廷、英國、加拿大、德國、烏克蘭等,對於中國的喜好度都在30%上下
而2020疫情後美國對於中國的不信任度,更高達73%。
最近中共在演習,又要玩轉移目標的手段,對於中共,其實不必再有民族主義的同情,因為新的世紀,價值、商業模式、公平競爭的制度大於血緣幻想。
中國離我們只有130公里的距離,我們當然歡迎對話,避免誤判。但我們同時也區分中共與中國,歡迎對話,但不在前提、條件、恐懼之下對話。
如果真的要有前提,那就是對等、尊重,還有公平公開法治的方式會晤。
