主题：【原创】闲话1 -- 井底望天
正是中国外交部的一些人物，不断向美国人暗示，你要是想得到中国在经济上对美国的合作（就是说答应美国的予取予求，为美国经济危机买单），你必须，记住了，必须要在中国周边的地方，中国比较敏感的地缘政治上，有所表示。
用英文挺好的，正好给我们学习的机会嘛。我从你这学了不少金融相关的词汇，不胜感激。
我觉得我们中国人将来要在世界上当头，必须要有相当一部分的人口能够流利的使用英文。一来可以了解其他国家的信息动态，二来可以方便的宣传自己的意识形态和开发其他国家的市场。
因为中文比较难学，可以在事实上形成一个知识和技术的壁垒。我们领先的技术，都用中文来表达。我们要推销的技术，就用英文好了。
我们将来如果要做领导世界的民族，那么对本民族里每一个成员的要求都应该是比较高的，这其中也应该包括流利的使用多种语言。我也很有信心我们大部分中国人都是有足够高的智力水平做到这一点的。
他老人家活到现在估计要把"外卖部"整个斗私批修一番.
古往今来一直没断过根，不过买办们把这个发扬光大成了挟洋自重而已。
打汉字就那么麻烦么？西西河里并非全都精通英文的。本来这个圈子已经很小众了，你还要搞这样的文章。为了啥呢？
说他们卖国看来不过分，不过既然井底望天老大点出来了，中央应该会重视了。
不然为啥叫外卖部?
Anyway, that key position really depends on who is the top one after the forthcoming transition.
PBOC policy is now also a part of the China foreign policy. If the foreign reserve can be used efficiently, it is HUGELY powerful diplomatic weapon against....
US is bluffing. China needs to let America know that the end result is a lose-lose game while Europe will benefit from this stupid fight.
European observers are encouraging this fight in all kinds of forums. That idiot, Martin Wolf of FT.com, even said that America can sanction China by not allowing China to buy U.S. treasury notes any more... (I was so shocked that a debtor dares to treat its most important creditor with this kind of crazy strategy).
Now let's see who is the chicken in the end.

我们将来如果要做领导世界的民族
Yes! But not with narrow-minded people at the top who can only speak Han Chinese.
China is a nation with many minorities. One of the reasons why Han people can not control Tibet/Xinjiang effectively is because the Han elites look down upon other minority culture and languages and refuse to learn those "non-Chinese" language.
Without language skill, how can you understand local culture?
Without cultural knowledge, how can you rule that region peacefully?
Without conquering people's mind, how can you really conquer that land???
When the British empire ruled the world, it had talents specializing in all kinds of languages. During WWI, it easily defeated Turks in the middle-east just with one Briton, the famous Lawrence of the Arabic. That guy spoke fluent Arabic and was an expert in mid-east civilization. He was trained at either Oxford or Cambridge.
When it comes to empire-building, China is just a humble pupil. Be patient and learn from the British empire. There is a lot of stuff to learn over time.
山不就默罕默德，默罕默德便就山。 谁掌握知识谁就是山。 他这份坚持是让人不舒服。不过他的行为不是故意捣乱，而有他自己的道理和准则。这主在某些方面，不是改造自己适应社会的主，而是个用自己意识影响社会的主。
要么用规则逼铁手赶人（不智且不太可行）。要么体会他的意图，委屈自己以获得信息（不舒服，有好处）。 世界总是不会让人太舒服的。
能为井大提供谈资，不胜荣幸。
其实中国精通其他语言的专业人才很多的。出于实际需要，连尼泊尔语这种话都有人专门学的，大学里也有相应的专业。老毛，周恩来这样的人物也不会外语（周的法语估计早忘光了）,藏族人，维族人好像对老毛还是很崇拜的。
当然虚心学习别人的长处是应该的。国内的英语热已经很说明问题了。八十九十年代日语也热过。中国人其实是善变的民族。英国人当初学外语，也是有实际的利益在里面。
lived outside China before and really had idea about the outside world
One or two leaders (e.g., Mao) can have no language skill or foreign experience, but in your LEADERSHIP group, you must have team members who are sophisticated on foreign language and culture. As China expands its sphere of influence, top leaders have to understand that their moves will have global impact later.
These two, Zhou and Deng, played important roles in contemporary China's history: one neutralized some negative impact of Mao and the other opened up china again so that you can enjoy the much improved life in China or outside China.
BTW, back in Europe, Zhou was well-known in his circle as a very image-conscious person. He dressed well with many girls chasing after him. He definitely still kept that "French" influence in his later life, though he depressed it to fit in with his peasant communist colleagues.
To be frank, when he really dressed up again as China's PM during all those important diplomatic meetings, he shined again among both Asian and Europeans. I have to say that he is really a very presentable Chinese man, in terms of fashion, personal hygiene, gesture, appearance and gentlemanhood. Today's Chinese leadership has a long way to catch up.
During the Geneva conference, Zhou successfully presented China's Liang Shan Bo & Zhu Ying Tia to foreigners and resold the show as China's "Romeo and Juliet"... That kind of social skill is learned from your foreign language/culture study in the past.
Deng, when he visited the U.S. in 1979, kissed the American kids who presented a show to the Sino-American leaders. That political "showmanship" really capture the hearts of American mothers and caused a small sensation when the picture was later published in the Time magazine-- Deng presented himself well as a personable senior leader who really cares and loves kids--not that kind of stereotyped image as a rigid, cold-hearted, blood-thirsty communist killer popular in the western media.
He clearly learned that from American politicians, but he DID NOT DO THAT at home with Chinese kids.
As I said many times before on this forum, language skill opens up one's mind. With language skill, it also comes the cultural knowledge, and more acceptance by both the minorities inside China as well as foreigners outside China.
For a nation destined to rule the world, being narrow-minded and inertia to other people's language and culture can transform small issues into trouble as well as possible political events.
Look at this American empire, you can see narrow-minded Americans did a much worse job compared with their British cousins.
但是这么有一个关键问题。
中国要做各种各样的准备使得中国手里的美国国债，两房债能够在短时间彻底颠覆美国的货币信誉。关键就是我们是不是知道那个点是美国超级通胀的临界点或是货币崩溃的临界点。因为美国政府自己买自己的债其实就是财务游戏并不能解决实际问题，但是啥时候这个问题会被彻底暴露是一个大问题。
