发帖数: 1 | 1 To contain China or not, that is the question for American officials and
analysts as President Joe Biden’s new administration ponders how to respond
to what it sees as the most significant challenge facing the United States.
Of the flurry of proposals churned out by US think tanks, the strategy paper
titled “The Longer Telegram: Toward A New American China Strategy”
published by the Atlantic Council late last month has raised some eyebrows
among China watchers both in China and the US.
That is partly because the author, self-described as a former senior US
official with deep China expertise and experience, has modelled the lengthy
paper on the American diplomat George Kennan’s better known “The Long
Telegram” in 1946. In more than 5,000 words, Kennan outlined the strategy
of “containment” of the Soviet Union the US government was to adopt as the
corner stone of its Cold War policies, which contributed to the eventual
collapse of communist rule four decades later. |
