《纽约时报》这篇报道的主要内容是：中国感到被美国遏制，但缺乏反击手段。报道提到中国对美国在科技外交等领域的打压感到不满，并认为美国试图联欧制华，在涉台涉疆等问题上干涉中国内政。同时，中国也意识到自身在经济军事等方面仍与美国存在差距，在国际舆论场上处于下风。 评论：这篇报道虽不完全属实，但也不乏一定的道理。的确，中国在发展过程中遇到一些困难和挑战，其中有一些确实来自于美国的不公平打压，但中国也并非毫无反击手段。中国可以进一步加强科技自主创新能力，提升核心技术水平，同时在外交上推动世界多极化，建立更加公平的国际秩序。此外，中国也可以利用自身优势，例如巨大的市场潜力和不断增长的中产阶级群体，来吸引国际合作。最重要的是，中国需要保持自身的发展势头，不断增强综合国力，这才是应对一切挑战的最有效手段。该报道虽带有偏见，但也提醒了中国需要正视差距和不足，不断发展进步。
President Biden’s effort to build American security alliances in China’s backyard is likely to reinforce the Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s view that Washington is leading an all-out campaign of “containment, encirclement and suppression” of his country. And there is not much Mr. Xi can do about it.
To China, Mr. Biden’s campaign looks nothing short of a reprise of the Cold War, when the world was split into opposing blocs. In this view, Beijing is being hemmed in by U.S. allies and partners, in a cordon stretching over the seas on China’s eastern coast from Japan to the Philippines, along its disputed Himalayan border with India, and even across the vast Pacific Ocean to a string of tiny, but strategic, island nations.
That pressure on China expanded Thursday when Mr. Biden hosted the leaders of Japan and the Philippines at the White House, marking the first-ever trilateral summit between the countries. American officials said the meeting was aimed at projecting a united front against China’s increasingly aggressive behavior against the Philippines in the South China Sea and against Japan in the East China Sea. Mr. Biden described America’s commitment to defense agreements with Japan and the Philippines as “ironclad.”
The summit ended with agreements to hold more naval and coast guard joint exercises, and pledges of new infrastructure investment and technology cooperation. It builds on a groundbreaking defense pact made at Camp David last August between Mr. Biden and the leaders of Japan and South Korea, as well as on plans unveiled last year to work with Australia and Britain to develop and deploy nuclear-powered attack submarines.
Mr. Biden has also sought to draw India, China’s chief rival for influence with poorer countries, closer to Washington’s orbit through a security grouping called the Quad. And a high-profile visit to Washington by the Indian leader last year has intensified Chinese suspicions about India.
“China is clearly alarmed by these developments,” said Jingdong Yuan, director of the China and Asia Security Program at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. “Chinese interpretations would be that the U.S. and its allies have clearly decided that China needs to be contained.”
