不管是从美华的角度还是历史角度，中美关系是个geopolitical大看点。中国经济超越美国是2028年还是什么时候只是时间早晚问题。做了这末多年老大如何面对中国，美国人心里没谱。中国人面对西方人主导了几百年的世界心里也没谱。拜登有言对中美关系要有strategic patience，习也一样。双方领导人通话只是象征意义的，如何面对心里没谱。大家关系属摸着石头过河那种，用英语讲，we are in uncharted waters.
Q However, some of America’s European allies are very wary of what they fear will be a new cold war with China. The EU shocked Biden’s team by signing a new investment deal with Beijing – ignoring pleas for consultation with the US. Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, went out of her way in a recent speech to warn against anti-China sentiment dividing the world into blocs. Emmanuel Macron, France’s President, has made similar statements. UQ
Q President Donald Trump tried to enact a policy that would put pressure on American universities to reveal cooperation with China’s Confucius Institute. On January 26, President Biden quietly nixed the policy. A spokesperson for ICE confirmed to Campus Reform that the policy was rescinded.https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=16784 UQ
I think fuzzy logic or multi-value logic is simply natural in many things. Tall/Short? Enemy/Friend? Yes/No? Black/White? Right/Wrong? Right/Left? Male/Female? Many things sometimes can be relative or measured by percentage, roughly. Especially in oriental/Chinese/Japanese cultures.
Fuzzy logic? Q Australia doesn’t have to ‘choose’ China over the US: Martin Parkinson ... The former head of Treasury and the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet said Australia should not simplify the debate about the geo-strategic situation in the region, saying it was not a “choice” between the United States and China. Speaking at the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia annual conference on Wednesday, Mr Parkinson said to simplify the debate on China as a choice was “actually really dangerous”. “It implies we end up with two blocs and if we end up with two blocs we are heading toward a Cold War-type environment,” he said.

imo, Stoicism is simple, merely nothing more than living according to nature (universal and human), that nobody however could even fully understand all the components and interactive operations. Me neither! imo，斯多葛主义很简单，无非就是按照自然（普遍和人类）生活，但是没人能完全理解所有组成部分和互动操作。 我也不！ I promote Stoicism as a religion, is mainly for world peace purpose. 我提倡斯多葛主义作为一种宗教，主要是为了世界和平的目的。 No need to be too serious! 不必太认真！

未来一天，美国很可能会成为仅次于中国和印度的第三名。 经济增长的未来可能会转移到亚洲。 似乎当今美国正在做的事情只是在试图减缓许多亚洲国家不可阻挡的进步。 美国在不久的将来应该很难适当地调整自己的立场。 I just guess!
Perhaps a smart move! Fairly smart indeed!

Q 2020年，英国方面发起一个新的“朋友圈”，有意囊括7国（G7）成员，外加澳大利亚，印度和韩国三国，意欲减少对包括5G内部的中国科技的依赖。 》 2月8日日援引消息人士指出，由于内部有预期不想让7国变成“搞坏与华关系国家”的组织，因此一直在对英国提出的要求，拒绝让澳大利亚加入。 ... 例如，意大利方面就认为，在中澳经贸关系变化之际，澳大利亚更深层次地参与7国的行为“过度挑衅”；法国也担心，若7国扩大，欧洲在集团中的影响力将被取代。 UQ

那么清朝经济当时世界总量世界第一，就是世界第一，霸权国家？中国到现在为止创新了哪个观念思想？全部都是抄来的。模仿能力是世界领先之一，创新能力世界排前十都不知行不行。中国的经济总量，哪怕就是世界第一，也是人口红利的结果，而不是科技创新的结果，承认这个事实就那么困难？ 刚刚找到全球创造力指数列表，比我预计的还差。世界总评第62 位， 技术评级较好，不过也是前十名外，14 名， 天才评级才87名！宽容度更是96 名，与大量非洲国家为伍。

如果现在到大陆的街头，哪怕大学，去主张Stoicism, 基本上会被当成傻瓜。如果在改开以前，人们也不会接受，但是会以同情态度看待。所以层主这样的人，其实包括欣赏stoicism 的本人，在当前的大陆会很难生活。
根据我到目前为止阅读的新闻/文章，一个好的政府应该基于长期的系统合理性原因（最小的党派浪费）和最新的科学知识来学习并尝试制定国家政策。
趋势是, 大陆似乎仍在努力，而其他一些国家正在减少。
Just imo.
我们为什么要在乎呢？
顺便说一句，我只学习和了解基本的斯多葛主义。
Q https://kknews.cc/news/rrm5ylx.html
如果認真對待斯多葛學派哲學家的勸告，棄絕奢侈的生活，我們就會發現我們的需要很容易得到滿足，因為正如塞涅卡提醒我們的那樣，生活的必需品並不昂貴，也很容易獲得。那些專注於奢華的人不得不花費相當多的時間和精力來獲得它；而那些迴避奢華的人卻可以將同樣的時間和精力投入到其他更加值得的事業中去。
一個斯多葛主義者儘管不追求財富，但是仍然會獲得財富。畢竟，一個斯多葛主義者，會盡其所能成為一個對她周圍有用的人。因為得益於對斯多葛主義的踐行，她會是一個自律且做事專一的人，而這些特質有助於她完成她為自己設定的任務。這樣一來，她就有可能高效地幫助別人，而別人也會為此而報答她。換句話說，正因為對於斯多葛主義的踐行，一個斯多葛主義者能夠得到很好的經濟回報。 UQ

所以，美国两党政客急啥？为了自己的统治权威吓唬美国人民么？
说无序竞争，你就不想想至今余波为了的次贷导致的金融危机 ？ 还有历史上永远也无法摆脱的周期性经济危机？
现代史上唯二的世界大战都是经济危机的结果吧？ 这种秩序井然的竞争结果很好玩吗？
说到掠夺自然，你那么会查强化自己观点立场的数据，去查查当前的欧美人均消耗自然资源，比方能源，水，和碳排放量吧。历史累计人均我就不让你查了。
我认为，斯多葛主义应该能够为美国或中国这样的国家/地区提供更好的sustainabilty可持续发展前景。
我个人认为，如今，斯多葛主义在当今的美国和中国大陆越来越流行。 那应该是一个好的方向。
和平，没有战争！
