世界經濟的寄生蟲

世界經濟的寄生蟲



我的舊文：“你用膳 我付鈔？ ”是借用江澤民主席的名句：“你請客 我付鈔！”當時正值中英談判有關興建新香港機場的財務安排，我只是借用了並略為修改，成為我網文的標題，說全世界借了US$14,300,000,000,000給美國人，讓他們得以繼續享受美式的民主。


今有俄羅斯的前總統現任總理大人 普京 先生說：
Putin says：US a 'parasite' on world economy
【vanguard】Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Monday accused the United States of acting as a “parasite” on the world economy by accumulating massive debts that threaten the global financial system.

“The country is living in debt. It is not living within its means, shifting the weight of responsibility on other countries and in a way acting as a parasite,” Putin told a group of pro-Kremlin youth in central Russia.

He also suggested that Washington may have been flirting with the idea of a default in order to weaken the dollar “and create better conditions for exporting their goods.

“But they had enough common sense and responsibility” to avoid a default, Russia’s former president added.

US President Barack Obama on Sunday announced an 11th hour debt deal that will allow the country to avoid its first default in history while pushing ahead with a painful austerity plan designed to slash Washington’s swelling debt.

The deal was met initially with relief on global financial markets and saw Moscow’s two stock exchanges open the day up about two percent but investors then began to have doubts about the plan and gains were reversed sharply.

Putin has repeatedly criticised the United States’ recent foreign exchange policy and its propensity to cover budget deficits with treasury bills and bonds held by sovereign clients such as China and Russia.

The value of that paper will shrink if US debt is downgraded by a major Western ratings agency and Putin was insistent Monday that the world should be seeking new reserve currencies for trade and savings.

“If the US encounters a systemic malfunction, this affects everyone,” Putin told the Seliger camp gathering. “There should be other reserve currencies.”

Putin added that the debt agreement announced by Obama “was not that great overall because it simply delayed the adoption of a more systemic solution.”


普京先生說得比我更直接淺白：美國是世界經濟的寄生蟲！ 首先讓我們知道多一些關於“寄生主義” Parasitism。


【維基百科】Parasitism is a type of symbiotic relationship between organisms of different species where one organism, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other, the host.

Parasites are classified based on their interactions with their hosts and on their life cycles.

Parasites that live on the surface of the host are called ectoparasites (e.g. some mites) and those that live inside the host are called endoparasites (including all parasitic worms).

Endoparasites can exist in one of two forms: intercellular (inhabiting spaces in the host’s body) or intracellular (inhabiting cells in the host’s body). Intracellular parasites, such as bacteria or viruses, tend to rely on a third organism which is generally known as the carrier or vector.

The vector does the job of transmitting them to the host. An example of this interaction is the transmission of malaria, caused by a protozoan of the genus Plasmodium, to humans by the bite of an anopheline mosquito.

An epiparasite is one that feeds on another parasite. This relationship is also sometimes referred to as hyperparasitism which may be exemplified by a protozoan (the hyperparasite) living in the digestive tract of a flea living on a dog.

Social parasites take advantage of interactions between members of social organisms such as ants or termites. In kleptoparasitism, parasites appropriate food gathered by the host. An example is the brood parasitism practiced by many species of cuckoo and cowbird, which do not build nests of their own but rather deposit their eggs in nests of other species and abandon them there.

The host behaves as a "babysitter" as they raise the young as their own. If the host removes the cuckoo's eggs, some cuckoos will return and attack the nest to compel host birds to remain subject to this parasitism.

The cowbird’s parasitism does not necessarily harm its host’s brood; however, the cuckoo may remove one or more host eggs to avoid detection, and furthermore the young cuckoo may heave the host’s eggs and nestlings from the nest.

Parasitism can take the form of isolated cheating or exploitation among more generalized mutualistic interactions. For example, broad classes of plants and fungi exchange carbon and nutrients in common mutualistic mycorrhizal relationships; however, some plant species known as myco-heterotrophs "cheat" by taking carbon from a fungus rather than donating it.

Parasitoids are organisms whose larval development occurs inside or on the surface of another organism, resulting in the death of the host. This means that the interaction between the parasitoid and the host is fundamentally different from that of a true parasite and shares some of the characteristics of predation.

An adelpho-parasite is a parasite in which the host species is closely related to the parasite, often being a member of the same family or genus. An example of this is the citrus blackfly parasitoid, Encarsia perplexa, unmated females of which may lay haploid eggs in the fully developed larvae of their own species. These result in the production of male offspring. The marine worm Bonellia viridis has a similar reproductive strategy, although the larvae are planktonic.

Traditionally parasite referred to organisms with lifestages that went beyond one host.

就近來美國國債上限的兩黨談判，民主和共和兩黨的議員們、議長、多數派領袖、少數派領袖，用盡可以發揮的民主主義賦予的權力，大玩其政治遊戲，於水浸眼眉的最後兩週，兩黨翩翩起舞，卻舞出個大龍鳳，雖然最終得到兩黨同意提高國債上限兩萬億美元，據說可以足夠去多借國債，用來支付未來兩年的財政開支，但要賠出了 Triiple A 的國家主權債務評級，被 S&P 標普 降為 AA+ 評級。


關於債務違約，評級下降，在事後孔明，偉大的阿倫斯潘出來說風涼話 。。。。。。

Alan Greenspan, Former Chairman of the Federal Reserve: "Very much so. This is not an issue of credit rating, the United States can pay any debt it has because we can always print money to do that. So, there is zero probability of default."


中國創辦的 大公國際信貸評級 Dagong Global Credit Rating：Dagong has downgraded the local and foreign currency long term sovereign credit rating of the United States of America (hereinafter referred to as “United States” ) from “AA” to “A+“, which reflects its deteriorating debt repayment capability and drastic decline of the government’s intention of debt repayment.



根本美國有沒有意向還款的呢？格林斯潘說很明白了吧。就在國債上限在水浸眼眉之時，於死線前通過了調整增多兩萬億，據說可以足夠支付未來兩年的聯邦財政開支，但是兩黨貌合神離的舞蹈，引來標普對美國主權債務評級下降為 AA+，失去了 triple A 最高評級，引起了全球金融界的動盪，股票市場蒸發了數萬億美元的價格，全世界都受累了。


美國式的民主於國家級別，設有眾議院和參議院，內面又一大班眾議員參議員，除了黨部的辦公室和專業團隊外，每位參議員眾議員他她們除了在所屬州份設有辦公室外，在華盛頓有另設有辦公室，聘請顧有一大班不同範疇律師團、各行各業專家團、資料收集隊、民意調查隊、文書工作隊 etc etc 去輔助議員了解每一個議案，發表在議事廳內外的言論，和最終選擇投票的意向。


以上所有的就是為了保存美式的民主制度，是美國聯邦政府總經費的部份開支，也即是靠借國債得來金錢，讓其繼續維持運作，讓其可以支付薪金給員工，交水費交電費，交通費 etc etc。美國人先使未來錢，靠每季發新的國債去償還利息，除了利疊利之外，再要借更多些債，去繼續推行美國的霸權主義，派發失業救濟金給國民，支付聯邦機構員工的薪酬 etc etc。


美國人卻凡事、每事、事事都要管，在地球上每一個角落，都派有美國間諜和特工，美國艦隊在全球各區海洋游弋，實行大美國霸權主義，宣揚美國式民主，強逼別國跟從，強加於人。美國式民主，是要在國內國外的花費巨額金錢，去保衛她的民主，保持她的民主，保存她的民主，如今美國發債已經超過了一萬四千三百萬億元的國債，今次還增加了兩萬億元的上限，美式民主是一個花費巨額金錢的民主主義。


更可懼者：美國式的民主是實施霸權主義，而全球購買了美國國債，無論是個人、機構、銀行、中央銀行、國家，正在供養著美國！

香港明報每個週六，都有外地評論摘要，為了解翻譯出來的中文稿子，與原來的英文原本文章有何差異，我通常會在網上搜尋原文閱讀。 以前很也曾經多次，把兩篇中英兩文一起轉載，方便網友參考，當然也方便自己以後查閱。


誠然，過去兩週來，中外的新聞不斷：黃主任的言論、美國會兩黨為美債上限角力、新疆恐怖襲擊與殲暴、全球股災蒸發兩萬億美元、菲傭居留權施法覆核等等，最繫我心者，還是：七二三動車追撞事件。


【明報專訊】中國的動車意外，繼續引來外地傳媒關注，除了中國官僚貪腐問題及高鐵是否「大躍進」備受指摘外，內地打壓傳媒報道的手段也引來強烈批評。

外地評論摘要：美國《華爾街日報》8月3日
高鐵殘骸被埋 問責也被埋（WSJ：China's Wreckage Under Wraps）
天災和工業慘案，在新中國並非新事，但導致40人死亡（官方數字）的7‧23高鐵相撞意外，卻可能發展成另一類事件。中國新聞從業員和公眾都在反抗官方審查，就政府自詡全球最先進的鐵路系統要求得到更多的資訊。餘下來拭目以待的是，究竟事故引發的民憤會否迫使共黨政府，改變它處理尷尬事件的一貫做法。

北京政府上周五下令國內傳媒封口之前，國內報章整整一星期的社論，都在嚴厲質詢官員是否罔顧乘客性命，鐵道部發言人在記者會上飽受記者圍攻。有人在微博上寫：「當一個國家腐敗到一次雷擊就能導致火車意外，我們沒有一個人能置身事外……今天的中國就是在風雷暴雨中疾走的列車，我們全都是乘客。」

這種對政府弊病的公開批評，令人期望中國是否在發展出能監察政府的傳媒，但恐怕未必。北京已學懂了如何先讓公眾發泄民憤，然後就阻止能帶來真正問責的跟進報道出現。

四川大地震之初，記者們即時就指出校舍是受震尤其嚴重的建築，好幾份報章刊登專題質疑是否涉及腐敗或豆腐渣工程，但翌月民辦傳媒的記者就被下令撤出災場。

同樣，在毒奶粉事件中，政府為防問題愈掘愈深，很快推出官方版本並強令傳媒統一報道口徑，毒奶受害人家長趙連海為伸權益，竟受威脅甚至下獄。

中國政府上周在壓力下聲稱會改革鐵路系統，總理溫家寶承諾會有「公平透明的調查」，但政府如此鐵腕鎮壓言論，任何改革都不可能在公眾監察下推行。

有人形容，官方控制傳媒的手腕升級已為「控制2.0」。這也許能在短線維持穩定局面，但卻會令導致民怨的問題坐大，隨著每次事故在受控前，要發泄的民憤不斷增多，有一天可能政府再也無法鎮得住人們要求答問的呼聲。


究竟外國人是怎樣看呢？借用國內用語：外國人是怎樣說三道四呢？


【Wall Street Journal】China's Wreckage Under Wraps
Without accountability, each tragedy sparks greater public anger.

Modern China is no stranger to natural and industrial disasters. Yet the July 23 high-speed train crash that left 40 people dead and another 191 injured—according to the official tally—could become a different kind of event.

Chinese journalists and ordinary citizens are resisting government censorship and pressing for more information about the safety of a rail system the government has touted as the most advanced in the world.

What remains to be seen is whether the outrage the crash has provoked will force the regime to refashion its standard procedures for dealing with embarrassing—and revealing—events.

On Friday the government decided to curtail domestic media coverage of the accident after a week of sharp editorials asking whether official neglect cost the trains' passengers their lives. At a press conference with the railways ministry, journalists grilled the ministry's cowed-looking spokesman.

"When a country is so corrupt that one lightning strike can cause a train crash . . . none of us is immune," one person wrote on Sina Weibo, the country's most popular microblogging service. "China today is a train rushing through a lightning storm . . . we are all passengers."

This kind of open criticism of the government's failures raises expectations that China is developing a watchdog media. If only that were true. The regime has learned how to allow the public to vent and then prevent the follow-up reporting that would bring true accountability.

When a magnitude-7.9 earthquake ravaged Sichuan province in May 2008, reporters noted immediately that schoolhouses had been particularly hard-hit. Several newspapers published pointed stories asking whether corruption and inadequate building standards were responsible for the high number of school-age victims. Yet by mid-June of that year reporters from the commercial media were being recalled from the scene.

Likewise when toxic milk powder sickened thousands of infants in 2008, the government rushed its version of events out to the public in order to pre-empt those who would dig deeper.

The media were not silenced; rather they were forced to hew rigidly to the official line that contamination was under control and recalls were limited. Activist Zhao Lianhai, who tried to expose the cover-up and demanded greater compensation for the families, was threatened and then jailed.

After intense public pressure the Chinese government last week declared it would work to reform the rail system. When Premier Wen Jiabao visited the crash site last Thursday, he promised a "fair and transparent investigation." But now that the state has pressed its heavy hand, any reforms will be undertaken outside of the public gaze.

For now, too many questions about last month's crash remain unanswered. Reporters who arrived on the scene the day after the crash found crews busy burying the wrecked carriages in the mud, as if to conceal the evidence.

Rescue workers seemed more interested in restoring rail service than in recovering wounded passengers. The official death toll was suspiciously volatile. Many suspect that a cover-up was underway from the start.

Chinese media watchers like Qian Gang, who writes on the previous page, have dubbed the government's more sophisticated policies to control the media "Control 2.0." While this regime may maintain stability in the short term, it allows the problems that cause public distrust to fester.

Mothers still flock anxiously to Hong Kong to buy foreign milk powder for their infants, and ticket sales for the high-speed trains have collapsed. As each incident requires a bigger venting of anger before it can be contained, the day may be approaching when the government is unable to put the lid back on and deny the Chinese people's demands for answers.


我的英文不算好，只可勉強是夠用，故此不敢評論明報是否翻譯和摘要得宜，各位網友們可以自讀、自衡、自量、自斷。我就較為享受原汁原味！


WSJ 顯示這文是 Review and Outlook 是沒有處名的文章，也不是 Editorial 社評，我只可以理解成是 WSJ 華爾街日報 內部自己人寫的或是約稿，因為沒有處名，文責看來似是由 WSJ 肩負吧。


上文不是翻譯外電新聞報導的 FACTS 實況，而是翻譯轉載華爾街日報的八月三日的評論 REVIEW and OUTLOOK。不過原來明報已經做了翻譯後的“去蕪存菁”，摘要後才刊登出來，公開予讀者閱讀，而不是全文一段不漏全部展示，我不知道報章報社雙互之間的協議，也是非我後所能及。


看電視新聞，除了一貫的亞記亞洲台和無記互動新聞台，我都有收看鳳凰衛視和有線電視的新聞報導，若有國際大新聞則兼看 BBC（World），CNN（International），和 AJE （Al Jazeera 半島的英語頻道），務求得到更多方面收集而來的更多資訊。


曾在舊文寫過：『被稱為「中國CNN」的官方新華社主辦國際新聞電視台「中國國際電視台」（CITV）將於明天(按：2009年11月18日）開始試播。』至今尚未有看到過，是否已經無疾而終呢？還是尚在試播試播在試播中，從來未正式開播呢？


新聞消息的傳播，由遠古的口述至到筆錄，由月刊週報到日報，再由日報轉至電台，透過有電線的收音機窄播新聞，再轉至向無線電收音機進行廣播新聞，又再由有線電視台發展至無線電視廣播新聞，直至今時是利用衛星向全球廣播新聞。


於國際社會雖云：新聞自由，新聞報導應該依據 facts 實況實據，據實報導，至於是否能辦得到呢？這是後話。而評論文章例如：社評 editorial 評論 review 就可以 take sided 有先決立場。我時常強調讀報、讀新聞、看新聞、還有讀歷史要多讀，若能多讀經由不同的源和 perspective 發表的報導與評論，經過消化了解後，然後“去蕪存菁“，最為重要。


在這資訊發達的時代，新聞是24小時每週七天年中無休，即時的才是新聞，之後再重覆的只可稱舊聞（歷史）。但不改的是，人們總愛在事後作出評論，不管是有先見之明，還是馬後礮，人總是愛繼續說三道四。不過我也慶幸，還能在特區繼續寫我的 blog。



補遺：
明報還有另一篇外地評論摘要：“高鐵慘劇 掀動中產造反”英國《金融時報》8月4日評論版文章作者：David Pilling。Financial Times：”China crashes into a middle class revolt“ By David Pilling。各位網友們，有暇可以細讀精讀原裝全文和中譯的摘要，了解了解！

海外華人的忠誠




【明報專項】美國首位華裔駐華大使駱家輝宣誓就職，他承諾致力深化中美合作，為建立積極、合作和全面的中美關係努力。

當地時間1日下午，駱家輝攜全家來到美國國務院，參加由國務卿希拉里親自主持的美國駐華大使宣誓就職儀式，中國駐美大使館官員也蒞臨現場。

就職儀式上，駱家輝手按妻子李蒙捧起的一本《聖經》，在希拉里的引領下宣讀誓言，又當場在一份委任書上簽字，就此正式履任美國駐華大使。

駱家輝稍後在致辭時表示，自己對出任美國駐華大使深感榮幸，中美兩國有著極為重要與復雜的外交、經濟和戰略關系，雙邊關係既有挑戰，更存深化合作的良好願景。

「我期待同中國政府合作實現這一願景，並且更重要的是，為建立奧巴馬總統和胡錦濤主席一致同意我們兩國應追求的積極、合作和全面的關係努力。」駱家輝說。

他強調，深化合作不僅對中美兩國至關重要，對國際社會也至關重要，出任駐華大使後，他將全力支持中美在氣候變化、清潔能源研發、制止核武和核材料擴散等一系列問題上正在展開的合作，並將努力拓展兩國新的合作領域。

駱家輝又稱，對於中美之間存在的挑戰和分歧，他將努力確保順暢的溝通渠道，清晰傳達美國政府立場，並與中國最高層政府官員保持接觸，同時會更加努力直接接觸中國民眾，幫助兩國民眾加深了解。

今年3月9日，現年61歲的駱家輝被總統奧巴馬提名為新一任美國駐華大使，接替4月底離職的前任大使洪博培。6月23日，美國參議院外交關系委員會率先批準提名，7月27日參議院又一致表決通過提名，駱家輝順利成為美國歷史上首位華裔駐華大使。

早前駱家輝透露，在等待「出使」中國的這段日子，他以說得一口流利中文的洪博培為榜樣，努力學習中文，又指身為亞裔美國人，「出使」中國令他備感自豪，他期待舉家前往北京，但出任美國駐華大使也是迄今奧巴馬交給他的「最艱巨任務」。

祖籍廣東台山的駱家輝在華盛頓州西雅圖出生，是華人移民的第三代。早年從耶魯大學和波士頓大學畢業，他投身政壇，此後相繼成為美國歷史上第一位華裔州長及華裔商務部長，是美國政壇當之無愧的「華裔代表」，而出任美國駐華大使更令他的仕途之路掀開新的篇章。


到了外國的中國人，有些仍然心懷故國放不下來，到死仍然只是居民身份，而沒有入籍歸化，就算未能落葉歸根，死後縱未有移葬回祖家，仍要做身在外國～中國人的鬼。


【維基百科】Gary Faye Locke (born January 21, 1950) is an American politician, who has been confirmed to be the United States Ambassador to China. He is the current United States Secretary of Commerce, and on July 27, 2011, the United States Senate confirmed him by unanimous consent to be United States Ambassador to China.

駱家輝（Gary Faye Locke，1950年1月21日生），出生於美國華盛頓州西雅圖市，華裔民主黨政治家，祖籍中國廣東台山二區明塘鄉灣頭吉龍村（現廣東省台山市水步鎮長塘吉龍村）；於1997年至2005年間擔任美國華盛頓州第21任州長，是首位當選為美國州長的華裔美國人，現為第36任聯邦商務部長。2011年3月9日，美國總統奧巴馬正式提名駱家輝出任美國駐中國大使，同年7月27日美國參議院一致通過這一提名，他因此成為歷史上首位華裔駐華大使。


也有絕大部份移民外國的中國人，在外國落地生根，歸化了成為外國公民，他她們都自稱是華裔，成為“海外華人”，而再不自稱是中國人。他們的第二代第三代除了與當地通婚的混血兒，也有固執一定跟華裔通婚，仍然保存純種華人血脈。


【維基百科】Locke was born on January 21, 1950 in Seattle, Washington. A third-generation American with paternal ancestry from Taishan, Guangdong, in China, Locke is the second of five children of James Locke, who served as a staff sergeant in the U.S. military's Fifth Armored Division during World War II, and Julie Locke, who is from Hong Kong. His parents gave him the Chinese name of 駱家輝 (pronounced Lok Gaa-Fai in Cantonese). He did not learn to speak English until he was five years old. He graduated with honors from Seattle’s Franklin High School in 1968.

Through a combination of part-time jobs, financial aid and scholarships, Locke attended Yale University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science in 1972. He later received his Juris Doctor from the Boston University School of Law in 1975.

駱家輝是來自台山市水步鎮長塘村移民家庭的第三代。駱家輝的祖父早年從中國來到美國時不會說英語，他找到了一份幫人料理家務的工作，以換取學英語的機會。這家人住的地方離駱家輝後來居住的州長官邸只有1英里（相當於1.6公里）遠。

駱家輝在家中五名孩子中排行第二，父親是參加過第二次世界大戰的美國退伍軍人駱榮碩（James Locke），母親Julie Locke則來自香港。駱家輝曾在父母開的雜貨店裡幫工，靠打零工的積蓄和各種獎學金到耶魯大學深造。1972年畢業於耶魯大學獲得政治學學士學位，爾後在1975年在波士頓大學取得法學學位。


華人在外國多從事商業活動，就算在歸化後亦甚少從政，卻又是有時身不由己，為了保衛人身財富不能不依靠政治勢力。不過作為政治一到極端，就會牽涉到種族層面，宗主國的主流族群，遇到經濟滑落多遷怒有財卻無勢力的少數族裔。印尼和馬來西亞都曾經發生多次針對華裔的種族暴動，希特勒的納粹德國更要滅絕猶太人。


【維基百科】On October 15, 1994, Locke married Mona Lee, a former television reporter for the NBC affiliate KING 5 television in Seattle. She is of Chinese descent and her father is from Shanghai and her mother is from Hubei Province. The Lockes have three children: Emily Nicole, born in March 1997, Dylan James, born in March 1999 and Madeline Lee, born in November 2004.

1994年10月15日與李矇共結連理。李矇曾是1986年全美亞裔小姐，時為西雅圖 KING 5電視台記者。


不過二零一一年七月廿七日美國參議院確認了華裔美國人 駱家輝 Gary Locke，成為第一位華裔的美國駐華大使 United States Ambassador to China。作為華裔的第三代，美國本土出生的駱家輝出使中國，就更加要比白人的前任者更加白，以避免成為別人口實。


記得讀新中國的兩彈一星記載書籍，旅美的火箭專家 錢學森，1949年在回國途中，就被扣押在三藩市五年，最終1955年在中、美政府長達幾個月的日內瓦雙邊會談之後，錢學森卒被美國政府釋放，用以交換在朝鮮戰爭中被俘的美國飛行員，錢學森才能依據交換才得以回國。


還有華裔核武科學家李文和，這位曾經在美國核武研究最高機構：新墨西哥州諾斯阿拉莫斯研究所 工作過的老先生，1999年慘被誣告竊取美國核機密，經過九個月的牢獄生涯，和以後長達八年的法律抗爭，最後才獲得平反。之後，他著書：《My Country Versus Me ～ Wen Ho Lee》 。


擁有黃面孔黑頭髮的華裔，無論是否經已歸化了美入國籍多久，還是已經幾代在美國土生土長的土生華裔，於美國主流社會的眼中始終還是外國人，警察危急開槍時的一個念頭，始終還是 stereotyped 定性為是 foreigner/ alien 外國人。


駱家輝 無時無刻表示對美國的忠誠，幾次來到中國都是絀绌逼人，如狼似虎地為宗主國效力。今次拿著國書來到中國出任大使，當然更加要加把勁。駱家輝 雖然改了個英文名 Gary Locke，橫睇豎睇都不像華裔，也沒能像前任的洪博培說的一口流利的京片子，在中國身份他是美國外交官員。在美國本土，駱家輝的相貌橫睇豎睇都不像主流社會人種的外國人，可謂兩面都不是人。


選擇 駱家輝 Gary Locke 當駐華大使，是會把中美的死結結得更緊張呢？ 還是，如外交術語所言，開創新天地呢？ 在這一刻，我還是屬意前者！



後話：
三位華人：錢學森（未有歸化）選擇回國發展航天事業，李文和（經已歸化）受盡逼害仍然選擇留在美國，駱家輝（土生華裔）被美國派回中國充當美國大使。三位華人（華裔）身份各異，他們的心路歷程各異，對故國與新的宗主國的感情各異，產生出不同：”海外華人的忠誠“。
