Kyung-wha Kang: 我认为欧洲的思维模式是以西方为中心，这种思维模式需要转变。亚洲国家的思维方式更加灵活，除非有必要才会采取对抗。特朗普政府的上台可能会加速美国从跨大西洋联盟中撤退的趋势，迫使欧洲更加关注亚洲，与亚洲建立更紧密的联系。所有国家都需要采取务实的态度，而观众对灵活性的选择也表明了这一点。面对美国大选后的新世界格局，我认为韩国需要紧急应对与美国重新谈判成本分摊协议的问题。 Adam Tooze: 我认为华盛顿对亚洲（特别是中国）的立场与在座观众的灵活选择大相径庭。采取强硬手段对抗历史潮流几乎是欧洲的第二天性。欧洲内部的斗争在于，德国的社民党务实商业立场与绿党的美国新保守主义立场之间存在分歧。欧洲需要采取平衡和对冲的策略，并可能欢迎美国采取平衡策略，并存在与亚洲伙伴合作的可能性。真正让我感到担忧的是，美国与中国的关系不再由和平利益主导，而是更多地受到国内政治的影响。
