70 years ago, the United States fought the Korean War, which she would soon rather forget, then 50 years ago the bloody Vietnam War, which haunted her for years. Now America seems poised to get involved in another war in that part of the world again - this time with China. Some paint the potential war with China as one between good and evil, democracy vs autocracy, freedom vs communism etc. Didn't we hear the same rhetoric when the U.S. got into Korea and Vietnam? Americans were told that their sons and daughters had to fight and die in Asia because America had a God-given duty to halt the spread of the evil communism. Which turned out to be lies. When the Koreans and the Vietnamese fought each other, they were, more than anything else, fighting for national unification - America simply got in the way, which is why American involvement seemed both unnecessary and tragic. As a Chinese American, I also hear too frequently some sinister noises in America when it comes to China. To some Americans, Chinese people are either "chinks," "commies," or spies or thieves. If the United States gets into a war with China because of its prejudice, intentional or unintentional, against the Chinese people, it will not only be tragic but put this nation on the wrong side of history. With one fourth of China's population, can the United States remain forever the sole superpower of the world? Can the average American be four times smarter or more capable than the average Chinese, and remain so indefinitely? Indeed, starting from China, many other countries, such as India or Indonesia, may one day have bigger economies or even more influences in the world than the United States. These are all non-Western countries whose customs and values differ from us. America, get used to it. I hope to God that there will never be a war between China and Taiwan - with or without American participation. But make no mistake, should a war break out there, it will be a war more about Chinese nationalism than anything else, similar to what happened in Korea and Vietnam. If the United States gets involved this time, history will repeat itself yet again - most likely in far bloodier fashions. This cannot be a good thing for China -- or America.

尽管如此，尽最大努力保护台湾是中国的一部分，并在台湾做出大陆不能接受的不当行为时惩罚台湾，在某些方面应该是可以的。
就像现在一样。
浪子回国应该是迟早的事，只要父亲有耐心把他叫回来。
正如我们都相信在适当的时候，上帝的本性会让万物按照普遍的本性生活。 至少我是这样希望的！

顺便说一句，也许一个可能的策略是，当大陆对台湾居民好时，台湾居民就会在很多方面接受大陆。
即使台湾政府永远不会回来正式承认大陆也没什么大不了的，只要大陆根据国际和联合国法律合法地主张所有权。
只是个人看法。

也许美国需要从根本上基于模式转变(paradigm shift)的真正 整体转型(systemic/holistic transformation)。
由于取悦短视选民的传统和不合逻辑的优势，这正是现有美国民主制度真正需要改变的。
我认为上述这场革命对许多人来说可能是最有趣的。
我猜想，也许通过合并为一个政党（加上一些其他小政党）来整合两个主要政党可能是好的解决方案。
美国应该为许多其他国家带头改变。
只是想法。
Q 揭秘美国军工复合体 http://www.xinhuanet.com/globe/2021-04/02/c_139827308.htm
军工复合体是由军方、军火制造商、国会议员、国防科研机构、智库、舆论界等组成的利益集体，其基本运作方式是：军工企业为了自身利益，以各种理由游说国会议员或政府官员，确保政府在军事上增加或维持庞大开支，鼓动政府制造地缘政治冲突甚至发动战争，以扩大军火贸易和订单合同。这一过程中，资本扮演了极为重要的桥梁纽带和幕后推手角色。
一个财团往往控制着数家军工企业，一些大型军工企业也往往由多个财团联合控制。以美国最大的军火制造商洛克希德–马丁公司为例，其军用业务涵盖军用飞机、直升机、舰艇、卫星、雷达等多个领域，赫赫有名的F-16、F-22、F-35、C-130和三叉戟导弹等都出自该公司，其背后是加利福尼亚财团。
美国十大财团都离不开军工业务，如第一花旗银行财团掌控着波音公司；洛克菲勒财团掌控着马丁·玛丽埃塔公司和西屋电气公司；摩根财团掌控着通用电气公司、通用动力公司和格鲁曼飞机公司；波士顿财团掌控着贝尔直升机公司和雷神公司；梅隆财团掌控着罗克韦尔公司，这些军工企业都是美国国防部和对外军售的主要承包商，每年从大量军事订单中获取惊人的高额利润。 UQ

可能，整合两个主要政党的一个好处可能不仅是节省大量选举成本，而且还有所有公民的团结精神。
通过照顾如此多的邻近美国国家，这是建模和建立新的泛美所必需的。 就像过去美国为征服世界所做的那样。
事实上，两大政党的整合可能并不难。
1st. 找出新党的共同目标（比如 30%）的 LCM 是什么，例如明确定义要服务于哪个主要的公民群体。
2nd. 每个主要政党都将成为新成立的新政党的子党。
3rd. 新党需要组织一定数量的专门委员会，在几年内解决另一个（比如说）30%的次级目标。
4th. 剩余的（比方说）40%由两个子党方别处理，交替处理。剩余的（比如）40% 将由两个子党单独处理，或者（比如）5x2 年一个周期。
5th. 必须包括通过衡量人均 GDP 提高邻国生活水平的主要目标，同时准备接受美国人均 GDP 有可能在未来几十年内的下降。
