Richard Spencer: 我认为中国正在利用当前美国政策的不确定性和混乱,特别是特朗普政府的单边主义和“美国优先”政策,来扩张自身在全球的影响力。他们通过强调自己是可靠的、支持国际秩序的伙伴,来吸引那些对美国政策感到失望的国家。 中国并不是直接挑战美国,而是向那些关注华盛顿局势的国家传递信息,暗示美国在国际事务中的不可靠性。他们强调与俄罗斯的长期友谊,并向其他国家保证,中国将是他们可靠的发展伙伴。 中国这种策略在欧洲和一些发展中国家获得了共鸣,一些国家开始重新评估他们对中美两国的看法。一些国家已经与中国建立了联盟,这表明中国的影响力正在增长。 然而,中国是否真的想要全球领导地位还有待商榷。这取决于对世界和安全问题的看法。中国将美国视为世界不稳定的根源,认为美国在中东等地区的干预加剧了冲突。中国认为,如果国家能够自主发展,就不需要像美国那样的安全架构。 中国对特朗普政府的回应,也反映了特朗普政策中关于对华政策和国际主义的矛盾之处。特朗普政府内部对与中国对抗的策略存在分歧,这令台湾等国家感到担忧。中国似乎正在试探特朗普政府内部的孤立主义倾向,并以此来评估美国是否真的愿意与中国对抗。

This suggests China believes there's an opening to expand its influence and challenge the US's global leadership role. The impact is being felt in various countries, particularly those seeking investment or wary of US reliability.

  • China is portraying itself as a reliable and stable partner to countries wary of the US.

Shownotes Transcript

While the world watches Donald Trump chasing peace in Ukraine, China has used its biggest political event of the year to appeal to US allies. Its foreign minister says countries do not have to be subject to the “law of the jungle” - a thinly veiled reference to the US president’s disruptive foreign policy. The Times’ China correspondent Richard Spencer looks at whether China wants global leadership and whether anyone will follow.
