共和黨參議員麥考米克：25年前誤判中國，如今成為美國最嚴峻安全威脅

美國共和黨參議員麥考米克在演講中表示，25年前美國對中國的動機和意圖做出了錯誤押注，認為貿易能讓中國變得自由和親近。然而北京卻將美國的善意轉化為籌碼來挑戰美國。他指出，2017年特朗普打破舊共識將中國定性為對手，而美國的爭端並非針對中國人民，而是針對中共這一全球最強大的極權政權。他提到中共犯下的種種侵犯人權行為，並強調美中競爭是一場世代之爭，外交必須建立在實力的基礎上。

So let me begin with this. 25 years ago, we bet wrong. We bet wrong about the motivations and intentions of our primary adversary. When China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, Washington made a bipartisan bet that trade would make China a closer friend, would make China free.

And over time, Beijing has turned that faith, that good faith that we showed them, into leverage.

And it's used that leverage to outbuild us and challenge America in many ways.

Now, something happened in 2017.

In 2017, President Trump broke the old consensus and finally called China what it is, an adversary.

Now, to be clear, our dispute is not with the Chinese people.

It's with the Chinese Communist Party, the most powerful totalitarian regime on earth and the gravest threat to our security since World War II.

It's committed genocide in many parts of China.

It's jailed Pastor Ezra Jin and other religious leaders, and it sentenced Jimmy Lai to 20 years for running a newspaper.

And Xi Jinping wants nothing less than to supplant America as the world's superpower.

And the AI revolution, which I'm sure we'll talk about today, is accelerating this competition between the United States and China, and it's increasing the stakes.

This is a generational fight, just as the Cold War was.

And then, as now, leaders should talk, as President Trump and Xi Jinping did at the White House last month. We need to talk.

We need to keep these open channels of communication, but diplomacy only works from a position of strength with that in mind let me end where i began at the dmz the people on both sides of that line when you're standing there there's a bright line where the armistice sort of holds the two sides in check and the people on both sides of that line share a language and a history thousands of years but 70 years ago both of 一些些人都不得了。今天，一家人都不得了。包括在新的未來，其他人都不得了。美國是好，我們必須不得了，我們必須不得了，我們必須有問題，但是美國是好，因為它是好。
