I have recently perused Nicholas Kristof’s NYT piece “China’s Man in Washington, Named Trump”(https://nyti.ms/3h2JXh8). One paragraph in particular caught my attention: “A joke in China suggests that Trump’s Chinese name is Chuan Jianguo, or “Build-the-Country Trump.” That’s because Build-the-Country is a common revolutionary name among Communist patriots, and it’s mockingly suggested that Trump’s misrule of the United States is actually bolstering Xi’s regime.”

Kristoff also avows that since Trump’s ascension to presidency, the American nation became highly polarized. This is reflected in the current administration’s policies on climate change, foreign relations with established U.S. allies, and COVID-19 prevention, all of which are rather ineffective. It also seems like Mr. Trump and his team diverged from the traditional priorities, including promoting free trade, human rights, and other quintessentially American values. As described thoroughly by John Bolton, all these factors contributed to the declining standing of the U.S. in global politics.

What is more, many people fall prey to CCP’s propaganda and its interpretations of Trump’s actions, which only enhances China’s reputation.

But that might not exactly be the case.

The CCP apparently failed to utilize the window of opportunity created by the ineptness of the Trump administration, as China could have grown to the position of a leader by filling in the void left by the U.S.

During the 2016 APEC Ministerial Meeting in Lima, Peru, Xi Jinping and his team actively supported the plans to establish the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and a Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific, or FTAAP. In contrast, the United States withdrew its signature from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) in early 2017. Coupled with China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the establishment of the Asian Infrastructure and Investment Bank (AIIB), this move bolstered China’s capacity to influence global investments and trade, high-tech mergers and acquisitions, and, overall, expand its geostrategic influence on the entire globe.

At the same time, various propaganda films about great power competition, military industry, and science and technology surged all at once, and gained remarkable following around the world.

All this provided a window of opportunity for the CCP to slowly change its course. Around the same time, the distrust for POTUS among U.S. allies’ reached its apex. According to polls conducted by the Pew Research Center, the distrust for the U.S. president in the U.K. reached 75%, 72% in Japan, 70% in Australia, and stunning 86% in France.

Had the C.C.P,. begun to open up at that time, or at least resumed the governance style of the Hu-Wen administration, it could have reaped the benefits of promoting liberalism where the U.S. failed to deliver. It was the time for Beijing to gradually enhance freedom of speech domestically, pursue sustainable infrastructural projects, gradually reform unfair barriers to trade, transform its S.O.E.s, strengthen protections for private ownership, and vitalize its start-ups and enterprises.

Moreover, were China to cease the genocide in East Turkestan and refrain from cracking down on Hong Kong's semi-autonomy, it would have greatly enhanced its global international image. Additionally, if paired with slow but steady reforms, Beijing’s respect for sovereignty of its peoples would have attracted a large amount of foreign investment, which in turn would have continued to buttress the country’s growth.

It is China prerogative to remain idle.
It might still be possible for Chinese “Dream” to come true.
Yet, a historic window of opportunity is now closed.

Xi assumed the tools of proscribing and stalling, which are completely antithetical to the aforementioned window of opportunity.

Today, China is more authoritarian, less flexible, and fully deprived of horizontal accountability. Its reliance on wolf warrior diplomacy backfired: for example, the Swedish parliament sought to expel the Chinese ambassador to Stockholm. Also, Prague, the capital of Czechia, terminated its sister-city agreement with Shanghai and instead signed a new one with Taipei. Last but not least, we ought not to forget about the recent fiasco in the relations with the United States who ordered the shutdown of China’s consulate in Houston. All of this took its toll on China’s reputation.

Its international standing and inability to replace the U.S. as the major global power are not the only issues China is currently facing.
As it experiences multiple domestic and international shocks, China struggles to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and tame the disastrous floods of Yangtze River. The swarm of locusts of biblical proportions is also crippling Beijing’s institutional capacity and may soon lead to food shortages. In fact, the precarity of food supply further diminishes the level of trust for Chinese authorities.

In 2019, the Pew Research Center conducted a public opinion survey to examine the international views of China. In the U.S., Argentina, the U.K., Canada, Germany, and Ukraine, only about 30% of respondents claim a favorable view of China.

As the COVID-19 pandemic rages in the U.S., as many as 73% of U.S. respondents view China unfavorably.

Recently, the C.C.P. is losing its focus by continuously shifting targets. In fact, I believe there is no need for the C.C.P.to rely on nationalistic appeals, since in this new century values, business relations, and fair competition are all far more important than greater than delusive blood ties.
China lies only 130 kilometers away from us. Of course, we welcome dialogue and seek to avoid misjudgments. But we also distinguish between the C.C.P. and China. While we do welcome dialogue, but we will not be coerced to talk under unjust preconditions or in fear.

The only fair prerequisites are those of reciprocity, mutual respect as well as fairness and openness with respect for the rule of law.

最近看到紐約時報中文版的一篇文章
<美國的川普，中國的「川建國」>，其中一小段是這樣的

「在中國，人們戲稱川普的中文名字是川建國。那是因為建國是共產黨愛國者中一個普遍的革命人名。它在諷刺地暗示川普對美國的治理不當實際上是在鞏固習近平的政權。」

裡面也提到，川普在任的幾年，國家更分裂，對於氣候變遷，傳統美國盟友，乃至於疫情處理等都相當拙劣，對於美國傳統的自由貿易、人權等價值也基本上都沒有太大興趣。這些方針，導致美國在世界的評價降低，波頓的新書也多有描述。

除此之外，許多不幸相信中共宣傳，又或者是中共圈養的小粉紅，特別故意愛宣傳川普增強中國的威望。

但這不是真的。

中共完全沒有掌握美國做得不夠好的地方，去增強其在世界的領導力。

在2016年時，秘魯的亞太峰會舉行期間，習近平政權爭取（RCEP）及亞太自由貿易區（FTAAP）談判；對比2017年初，美國剛宣布退出ＴＰＰ，加上中國到「一帶一路」和亞洲基礎設施投資銀行，中國當時在世界全面發揮投資貿易、高科技併購還有其地緣戰略的影響力。

也是那個時候，各種的大國崛起、大國軍工、大國科技的宣傳影片此起彼落，似乎正準備要在世界舞台發光發熱。

這曾經是中共慢慢轉向的一個機會之窗。彼時（2017)美國盟友對美國總統的不信任度達到歷史新高，根據皮尤研究中心的資訊，英國對於美國總統的不信任度達到75%、日本72% 澳洲70% 法國更高達86%

如果那時中共開始有限度的改革，對內放寬言論自由，或者至少維持在胡溫當時的水中，對外追求有責任的基礎建設，逐步緩慢減低不公平的貿易壁壘，對於國有企業改革，增強私營企業、新創企業的活力。

停止對新疆迫害，不干預香港自治，不僅國際形象會大幅改善，哪怕是緩慢但是穩健的改革，也會讓大量吸引外資，讓中國的活力持續前進。

哪怕是什麼都不做也好

那或許有這麽一點可能性，中國「夢」是可以前行的

但是歷史機緣的大門已經關上。

習、禁、停、放棄了這個機會之窗，徹底的走向相反的方向。

更專制、更沒有彈性，更沒有任何制衡的力量。各種戰狼外交，讓瑞典議員提案驅逐中國大使，捷克布拉格市長與台北簽訂姊妹是，就解散上海與該市關係、被美國關閉領事館、各種讓中國形象低下的事情，中共都沒有少做。

中共不但完全沒有辦法取代美國，在多重國內外的衝擊之下，又是瘟疫，又是超大水患，緊接著蝗害，還有進來的糧食不足問題，正在面臨巨大的瓶頸。

而糧食的命脈，卻恰恰又在對他最不信任，對中共價值最反對的國家聯盟

根據皮尤研究中心:Pew Research Center2019調查各國對中國的喜好度，美國、阿根廷、英國、加拿大、德國、烏克蘭等，對於中國的喜好度都在30%上下

而2020疫情後美國對於中國的不信任度，更高達73%。

最近中共在演習，又要玩轉移目標的手段，對於中共，其實不必再有民族主義的同情，因為新的世紀，價值、商業模式、公平競爭的制度大於血緣幻想。

中國離我們只有130公里的距離，我們當然歡迎對話，避免誤判。但我們同時也區分中共與中國，歡迎對話，但不在前提、條件、恐懼之下對話。

如果真的要有前提，那就是對等、尊重，還有公平公開法治的方式會晤。

【一念桃花開】(English writing below)
The Peach Blossom Blooms In a Single Thought

我年少時就有暗瘡的問題， 因為使用藥物，後來皮膚就變過敏。

無論是開架或專櫃，不是很多護膚品牌適合我，，而很慶幸的，Innisfree對我的肌膚還蠻管用的。

昨晚，我到Innisfree的專賣店把用完的護膚品空瓶拿去回收。

然後，就在店裡逛，想找我慣用的寒蘭睡眠面膜，可是怎麼找都找不到。我轉頭向身旁熱情的服務小姐詢問。

她便跑去請教一位在收銀台的較資深同事。

得知斷貨了，店員也不曉得幾時會來貨。

後來，我選擇買綠茶睡眠面膜，因為在網路上有讀到不錯的評價。

當收銀員把產品交給我時，她叫我稍等。接著，她找尋了一些贈品送給我。這是許多韓國護膚美妝品牌的一貫作風。

我拿著贈品離開店時，對收銀員的舉動忽然恍然大悟。

我買了一個睡眠面膜

收銀員又送我兩款睡眠面膜的贈品。

這是明智之舉 - 給予客人她會用的產品，而不是一些她可能不會使用的產品。

畢竟，不是每個女生都會在自己的臉上，抹上幾百種護膚品。

其中一個贈品是我剛才在尋找的寒蘭睡眠面膜。

這真是暖心之舉 - 記得客人在尋找的護膚品。

她不知道我是否是這產品的回頭客，或是第一次購買。但重點是，她不但記得我的詢問，還特別贈給我小樣品，讓我這心願得以滿願，不至於白跑一趟。

她這小小的舉動，就是佛法上所說的佈施。

佈施最基本的用意，就是付出自己，解決別人的困厄，給予別人快樂。

盡的心意越多，種的福根越深，若再加上歡喜心去做，那未來際得到的敬愛，必會廣大無邊。

很多人以為佈施這字是用在外人身上，可不知我們身邊的人也一樣仰賴我們的佈施，心靈才能得到愛的滋潤。

我客人當中就有很多這樣的例子：

老公嫌太太忙著孩子，無暇聆聽他的心事，沒有支持他的夢想。

太太嫌老公變了心，沒有像熱戀時那麼地愛護她，照顧家庭。

爸爸嫌兒子不長進，老是打電動。

兒子嫌爸爸不了解他的喜好，總是逼他做他不喜歡的事。

媽媽嫌女兒沒大沒小， 女兒嫌媽媽規矩多。

老闆嫌員工不夠盡責，員工嫌老闆吝嗇。

這些問題的起源，都是來自於兩人計較佈施，或不願佈施。而物以類聚的原理，就會吸引了自己一樣的人。

在家裡，我們需要桃花，才能得到家人之間的愛戴和和睦。

在外，我們也需要桃花，做起事來才會比一般人容易。

而桃花的大小，來自於你能佈施多少的愛。你佈施的心態，也決定了你福報的大小。

我們的周遭都是佈施的機緣，所以不可能沒有機會佈施。

小的佈施，是在家。走出家門，更有大把佈施機會包圍著你，東南西比中，360度你轉哪一個度數，都有佈施的因，是看你怎麼去把握。

所以沒有所謂為什麼命會這樣，而是你沒有把握機會。

嘗試釋放自己，去擁抱一個更有愛的你，更有愛的生活方式。當你能把這快樂帶給很多人時，你會發現你生命的無限潛能，而重新愛上自己。這也是你能給予你自己最大的敬愛，最大的桃花之一了。

p.s. 若不知何謂桃花，可觀看我這影片：https://youtu.be/ECUW9F8Cybg

......................

I have acne skin as a teenager, and somewhere along the way, my skin turned sensitive.

Not many skincare brands, drugstore or over-the-counter, work for me, and Innisfree, to my delight, is one that works

So just now, I dropped by Innisfree to return my empty bottles (in my Stories)

I then browsed the shelves, looking for the Jeju Orchid Sleeping Mask. It was not there. I turned to ask the enthusiastic salesgirl beside me.

She went off to ask the more senior staff, who was behind the cashier counter.

No luck, it was out of stock and they had no idea when it would be back.

I ended up buying the Green Tea Sleeping Mask, having read great reviews online.

As the cashier passed me my purchase, she told me to wait for she wished to give me some samples to try, the de-facto practice of many Korean skincare and makeup brands.

When I left the store with the samples in hand, it dawned on me what the cashier had done.

I bought a sleeping mask.

She gave me two other sleeping mask varieties.

That’s smart - giving what the customer uses, and not some product that that customer may not use.

Not every girl plaster a million products on her face.

One of the samples was the Jeju Orchid Sleeping Mask!

That’s heartwarming - to remember that the customer was looking for.

I could either be keen in that mask, or a repeat buyer. But the key is, not only did she remember my inquiry, she gave me a sample that would not make this trip a wasted one.

This small act of consideration from the sales person is what we called Giving, in Buddhism.

The more thought you put in your giving, the more good fortune you are planting for yourself. When you give with happiness, then the love and respect you receive in future will be vast and boundless.

Many people mistook that the word Giving is to be used on outsiders. They are unaware that the people around us also need our giving to nourish their hearts.

There are many such examples in my clients:

The husband feels that his wife is too occupied with the children. She does not make time to listen to him or support his dream.

The wife rants about her husband having a change of heart and does not care for her, or love the family as before.

The father finds fault with the son's constant gaming, and scolds him for not being hardworking.

The son thinks the father does not care about what he likes, and always forces him to do things that he does not like.

The mother says her daughter is rude to her, while the daughter complains that her mother has too many rules.

The boss sees that his employees are not doing their best, while the employees sees their boss as a stingy man.

All these problems arise from two persons being calculative in giving, or unwilling to give. Given the principle of "Birds of the same feather flock together", you inevitably attract a person who is similar to yourself.

In the confines of our home, we do need Peach Blossom Luck, so that there will be love and harmony among our family.

Beyond our home, Peach Blossom Luck is definitely a must, for that will help us to get things done easier.

The amount of our Peach Blossom Luck is dependant on how much love you give out. The attitude you have when giving will decide the size of your good fortune.

There are plenty of opportunities for us to give, so there is no such thing as no chance to give.

Small acts of giving starts from home.

As you step out of your home door, there are even more giving opportunities surrounding you, no matter which degree of direction you turn.

It is up to you to grasp the opportunity. Like the Innisfree sales person who sees hundreds of people weekly, do your job well, and do it very well every day. That is massive giving, which will sow many seeds of favourable Peach Blossom Luck.

So there is no such thing as to why your Destiny isn't great. It was you who did not make the smart decision to do the right thing.

Try to let go of your resistance, and go embrace a more loving you, a more loving way of living. When you can bring happiness to more people, you will discover the limitless potential in your life and fall in love with yourself all over again. That will be one of the greatest love and respect and Peach Blossom Luck you can give yourself.
