諾貝爾經濟學獎得主克魯曼（Paul Krugman）批評，美國總統川普必敗。

So Donald Trump went to a NATO summit, insulted our allies, then made the absurd demand not just that they increase defense spending — which they should — but that they raise it to 4 percent of G.D.P., much higher than the bloated military spending in his own budget. He then claimed, falsely, to have won major concessions, and graciously declared that it is “presently unnecessary” to consider quitting the alliance.
Was there anything our allies could have done that would have mollified him? The answer, surely, is no. For Trump, disrupting NATO doesn’t seem to be a means to an end; it’s an end in itself.
Does all of this sound familiar? It’s basically the same as the story of the escalating trade war. While Trump rants about other countries’ unfair trade practices — a complaint that has some validity for China, although virtually none for Canada or the European Union — he hasn’t made any coherent demands. That is, he has given no indication what any of the countries hit by his tariffs could do to satisfy him, leaving them with no option except retaliation.
So he isn’t acting like someone threatening a trade war to win concessions; he’s acting like someone who just wants a trade war. Sure enough, he’s reportedly threatening to pull out of the World Trade Organization, the same way he’s suggesting that the U.S. might pull out of NATO.

哈哈. 美國人不把台灣人香港人統稱Chinese 已經很久了. 當人家說Chin~ese, 我們通常馬上就跟對方說是台灣人, 香港人, 對方也會很禮貌的表示萬分理解. 畢竟Chin~ese這個字在白人世界太攏統也很糟糕. 是騙子的代名詞. 能不用就不要用. 以免遭受池魚之殃.
