编者按：在美国总统特朗普宣布向全球强征关税之际，尤其是对中国大开狮子口强征145%的关税，引爆全球经济动荡，被观察者认为特朗普打响了贸易战。此时此刻，搬出美国媒体刚刚报道的前总统吉米·卡特在世时最近一次关于中国的采访中对唐纳德·特朗普所说的话。字字诛心，字字珠玑，分享给亲爱的读者。

美国媒体刚刚报道了前总统吉米·卡特在最近一次关于中国的采访中对唐纳德·特朗普所说的话。
“你担心中国正在超过我们，我同意你的看法。但你知道中国为什么超过我们吗？我在1979年与北京实现了外交关系正常化。从那以后，你知道中国与任何国家发生过多少次战争吗？一次也没有，尽管我们一直在打仗。
美国是世界历史上最好战的国家，因为它想强加给西方那些回应我们政府和美国价值观的国家，并控制其他国家拥有能源资源的公司。”而中国则将其资源投资于铁路、基础设施、洲际和跨洋高速列车、6G技术、机器人智能、大学、医院、港口、建筑和高速列车等项目，而不是用于军事开支。
“我们这个国家有多少公里高速铁路？
我们浪费了3000亿美元的军事开支来压制那些试图摆脱我们霸权的国家。
中国在战争上没有浪费一分钱，这就是为什么它在几乎每个领域都超过了我们。如果我们把这3000亿美元用于在美国安装基础设施、机器人和公共卫生，我们就会拥有跨洋高速列车。”我们会有不会倒塌的桥梁，美国人会有免费医疗，成千上万的美国人不会比世界上任何其他国家都更多地感染新冠病毒。
我们会有经得起考验的道路。我们的教育系统会像韩国或上海一样好。”——吉米·卡特。
The American press has just recounted what former President Jimmy Carter said to Donald Trump during his recent interview about China.
"You're worried that China is getting ahead of us,and I agree with you.But do you know why China is getting ahead of us?I normalized diplomatic relations with Beijing in1979.Since then,do you know how many times China has gone to war with anyone?Not once,even though we're constantly at war.
The United States is the most warlike nation in the history of the world because it wants to impose states that respond to our government and American valuesthroughout the West,and to control companies that own energy resources in other countries."China,for its part,invests its resources in projects such as railways,infrastructure,intercontinental and transoceanic bullet trains,6G technology,robotic intelligence,universities,hospitals,ports,buildings,and high-speed trains instead of using them for military spending.
"How many kilometers of high-speed trains do we have in this country?
We wasted$300billion in military spending to subjugate countries that sought to escape our hegemony.
China hasn't wasted a penny on war,and that's why it surpasses us in almost every area.And if we had spent$300billion to install infrastructure,robots,and public health in the United States,we would have high-speed transoceanic bullet trains."We would have bridges that don't collapse,free healthcare for Americans,thousands of Americans who wouldn't be infected with COVID-19more than any other country in the world.
We would have roads that hold up properly.Our education system would be as good as South Korea's or Shanghai's."-Jimmy Carter.
