葉耀元:美中高規格會談是競爭者間的正常互動

Quick Look

中國國家主席習近平訪美期間,美國總統川普以高規格接待引發國會議員質疑。美國聖湯瑪斯大學國際研究講座教授葉耀元指出,作為競爭者的高規格接待屬正常現象,習近平需禮遇用於國內宣傳,川普則利用會議轉移伊朗衝突焦點,但美中根本利益衝突使實質建設性成果不可能。

中國國家主席習近平於美國當地時間23日至25日訪美,美國總統川普以高規格接待,引發外界議論。多名美國國會議員質疑,川普應謹記他接待的是一位殘暴、未經選舉產生且施行高壓統治的獨裁者,且中共此刻正支持美國的對手——俄羅斯和伊朗,並威脅美國的民主夥伴——台灣。對此,美國聖湯瑪斯大學國際研究講座教授葉耀元表示,到底要講幾遍大家才聽得懂呢?作為美國的競爭者,高規格接待習近平本來就是一件很正常的事情。

葉耀元在臉書PO文表示,到底要講幾遍大家才聽得懂呢?作為美國的競爭者,高規格接待習近平本來就是一件很正常的事情。習近平需要美國的禮遇讓他以此來跟國內炫耀搞大內宣;川普需要這場會議來轉移伊朗衝突的焦點;世界也希望看到美國跟中國至少還願意談,沒有直接打起來。

請繼續往下閱讀...

葉耀元指出,但這是不是表示美中高峰會可以談出任何結果?答案必然是否定的。中國的國家利益是取代美國霸權,美國的國家利益是維繫自己的霸權,請問兩個相衝突的狀況是會談出什麼有建設性的結論嗎?美國自2018年貿易戰開始到現在,什麼時候真的對中國鬆手了。中國難道有因為美國遞出橄欖枝,然後就願意聽美國的話嗎?

葉耀元直言,搞清楚這個核心問題,剩下就只是看他們演戲而已。
