【written by 遮打道口水佬（已封筆）】內地最憎嘅美國官員就係肥仔蓬佩奧。唔好睇少內地五毛在社交媒體嘅評論，一般來講，大圍社交媒體評論嘅方向都係shaped and formed by阿爺。五毛唔鍾意肥仔奧，即係阿爺都係好唔老黎佢。不過，唔老黎還唔老黎，sorry阿爺，因為肥仔奧is VERY likely here to stay much longer than you think。點解？咁要睇吓肥仔奧嘅背景。

佢嘅CV在現今嘅年代已經係少之有少，因為佢嘅背景就係美國人叫做嘅golden boy。美國人好得意，你淨係識得讀書冇用，淨係文係唔得嘅。除咗有台型識講，最難得又最受人尊重嘅係落場打過仗，有「實戰」經驗嗰種。其實，美資大行，早在廿幾年前的領導，雖然好多表面係長春藤畢業，斯斯文文，其實大部份都當過兵，有啲仲上過戰場、打過仗、指揮殺過人。二戰過後，世界比較太平，要有新一輩文又得武又得嘅後生啲嘅領導已經買少見少。肥仔奧可算係一個例外。呢個人你唔好睇佢肥頭耷耳，鬧人都係好斯文，情緒管理好好，其實佢係近年集「文武商」於一身、美國人眼中嘅golden boy。

肥仔奧讀中學時係籃球最佳前鋒，之後「考第一」畢業於西點軍校（人哋係真正嘅考第一呀），唸半工半商的一科Engineering Management。畢業後直接去當兵，一入就係Armor Branch即係要combat要打嗰隻，據說肥仔奧最叻係帶領坦克步隊，用了5年時間升到上膊頭有兩條銀bar嘅Captain，ranking 係Lieutenant之上Major之下，可以指揮戰役。

想感受乜嘢叫做美國嘅conservative white，肥仔奧在Nixon Presidential Library門前的演說和整個鋪排，應可畀到大家一啲感覺。好多人都集中講肥仔奥的反共演說內容，我反而想講整個鋪排過程的意識形態。

Richard Nixon係當年1972年到大陸展開美國對華友好嘅engagement policy的美國總統。無Nixon開呢度門，根本冇可能有之後老鄧嘅70年代尾改革開放。肥仔奧要reposition美國對華嘅外交政策就必需重回起點。佢特登重回自己出生地Orange County，然後又有Nixon個外孫Christopher Nixon Cox endorsed佢在紀念自己祖父的Nixon Presidential Library作為演說場地，再由老到震震吓嘅知名退休加州市長Pete Wilson介紹肥仔奧嘅CV，最後肥仔奧才施施然說出48年嘅中美建交嚟到呢一刻到了需要調整的時候。

傳統conservative white演說係好悶㗎，連儀式都老土莊嚴過人，肥仔奧詞令亦不特別好，但好多時，越係唔花言巧語嘅人，越要小心。仲有一點，肥仔奧已經係中年大叔，但你會聽到有點不加堆砌的youthfulness，有youthful心態嘅golden boy一般都會排除萬難把件事情完成好，因此對某些人來說佢係極度危險人物。

由6月開始，美國國防部主管Robert O'Brien、FBI一哥Christopher Wray和司法部長William Barr已先後發言提醒美國企業在華業務的部署需要改變，直至近期肥仔奧的反華四步曲，對象除了是美國民眾之外，更重要嘅目標當然就係一直保持沉默嘅美國企業。

//Blinken’s predecessor as secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, formally designated as “genocide” Beijing’s treatment of more than 1 million Uighurs in concentration camps. Pompeo thereby made national policy of a judgment that candidate Biden voiced in August 2020, and that Blinken affirmed during his confirmation hearing.//

Comment by a colleague: A laudatory piece by the conservative George Will on Biden's position on China thus far. Many in Hong Kong made a big deal of Pompeo's pronouncement of China's treatment of Uighurs as "genocide" in January, but Will reminds us it was Biden who first made that pronouncement as candidate in August, and it is Blinken, the current Sec of State, who now implements that position.

Finally, a systematic, as well as systemic, standing up to the bully of East Asia! The previous admin lobbed scattershot incendiaries but otherwise legitimated the bullying with cowering silence.

China announced sanctions on 28 officials from the Trump administration, minutes after Joe Biden was sworn in as President of the United States. The Biden administration has called Beijing’s move “unproductive and cynical.”

拜登宣誓就職美國總統後沒多久，中國外交部隨即宣佈制裁剛卸任的美國國務卿蓬佩奧（Michael Pompeo）等28人。美國國家安全委員會發言人霍恩（Emily Horne）回應中國制裁特朗普政府官員時形容，做法「毫無建樹和犬儒」。

The Real Threat to the US is the loss of self-confidence
──An Open Letter to Mr. Secretary Mike Pompeo

My name is Wang Ping-Chung, the spokesperson for the New Party, Taiwan’s political party. During the ongoing pandemic of the Covid-19, the enemy of all human beings, including the American people and Chinese people, is definitely the corona virus. However, as Secretary of State of the United States, you seem to consider China instead of the virus to be your enemy. It lets you do little in pandemic prevention but much in blaming the WHO and China. You have even made great efforts to politicalize the issue of public health in order to attack China, which reflects the United States’ prevailing concept of so-called China’s threat. Nevertheless, the real threat to the US is not China but the loss of self-confidence indeed.

As President Franklin Roosevelt once said, “Only thing we have to fear is the fear itself.” The threat you have to fear today is not other peoples but yourselves. Even though you have done your best to shift blames on the WHO and China, the fact is already clear of the US domestic misdiagnosed cases, which had been seen as H1N1 but in fact corona virus since last autumn. It is also your fault in underestimating the severity of the epidemic while China sacrificed itself to let the world have more preparation time. Accordingly, the Covid-19 has killed more than fifty thousand people in America. As China’s population is four times larger than the US, it is quite shocking that America’s death toll due to the Covid-19 has been above China’s.

I feel so sorry for the suffering of your people, yet it is never too late to mend. However, not only did you palm off the responsibility on others, but you also undermined international solidarity against the pandemic. Moreover, you even try to deny the status of the WHO as the coordinator for universal combat against diseases, which in some way means challenging the global institutions under the governance of the United Nations. It is so unbelievable that the United States, viewing itself as the world leader above half a century, is tending to destroy the world order recognized by the international society. The very reason I can think of is the loss of America’s self-confidence. It is the threat to both the US and the whole world.

For Liberalists in the United States, China has been believed either an opponent or a violator to international institutions. As far as it’s concerned, there had been debates whether to keep containing China economically and militarily or engaging it institutionally. Both were resulted from America’s confidence in its leadership. Consequently, the confidence gradually changed into arrogance, luring the United States into aggressions upon other countries as the global superpower without permission from the UN Security Council. It made America exhausted at last. Therefore, the United States has become an isolationist, and even a betrayer to the global institutions they established before. On the contrary, China seems more like a protector of the world order.

On the other hand, for Realists, the predominant thinkers in international politics, China has been seen as the primary rival to America. As they estimate there will be threat if any other regional hegemony occurs, the nation’s fear becomes beyond what its capability can hold. To some extent, this is the real crisis to your people. In fact, different from western nations developing themselves by oppressing and exploiting others, the Chinese people have risen out of poverty at the cost of blood, sweat, and tears of our own. I would like to remind you of Franklin Roosevelt’s self-evident words that nothing to fear but fear itself. The only threat you should conquer is the threat in your mind.

As Henry Kissinger has argued, relations between China and the United States need not – and should not – become a zero-sum game. He also suggested that China and America build a Pacific community with each other. Thinking in the same way, Chinese President Xi also claimed that the vast Pacific Ocean has enough space for the two large countries of China and the United States. Furthermore, I believe the world is large enough to embrace different political and social systems. As western liberalism in recent years has met difficulties in over-consumption and government failure, we should be more open-minded to the superiority of Chinese governance in some fields, especially the high efficiency in defeating the epidemic. The United States should also be more self-confident to have China rising under the global governance of international institutions, sharing with mutual benefits instead of destroying each other. Without doubt, only by doing so can the United States overcome the real threat and bring the world peace and prosperity, the real universal values for all mankind.
