美国时间10月4日，美国副总统彭斯在哈德逊研究所就美国对华政策发表了长达一个小时的演讲。美国方面在一周前就已经为此次演讲做了预告，声称演讲将为特朗普政府的对华政策定调。中国方面担心演讲会给已经高度敏感的中美关系增加负面情绪，甚至让国际社会认为中美之间的“新冷战”已经不可避免。从彭斯演讲的内容来看，这次演讲更多出于美国国内政治目的，有意将中国作为特朗普民意支持下降的替罪羊。 On October 4, United States Vice President Mike Pence delivered a one-hour speech on the US' China policy at the Hudson Institute. The US government announced that the speech would be given a week ago, claiming that it would set the tone of the Trump administration's China policy. The Chinese government is concerned that the speech merely adds more negative sentiment to the already sensitive relationship between China and the US and that it suggests to the international community that a new Cold War between the two countries is inevitable. Judging from its content, Pence's speech served more of a domestic political purpose, as it sought to use China as a scapegoat for US President Donald Trump's falling public approval. |
