【INSIGHT FORUM x Prof. Kishore Mahbubani】中美角力：亞洲能否引導拜登的對華政策？ - 主題演講 （足本重溫 - 中英雙語字幕版）

著名全球思想家馬凱碩教授（Kishore Mahbubani）在「團結卓爾論壇」以「中美角力：亞洲能否引導拜登的對華政策？」為題主講，呼籲在全球疫情肆虐的大環境下，美國應停止對中國發動地緣政治對抗。

馬凱碩教授直言，「拜登政府的首要工作是停止對華貿易戰，並撤銷特朗普在貿易戰期間對中國加徵的關稅」。他指出，中美貿易戰使美國經濟低迷、就業市場不景，亦無助美國勞工維持生計，「扭轉特朗普時代的政策，全球經濟將有望重拾增長，提供更多就業機會」。

“Can Asia guide Biden on China?” Keynote Speech by Prof. Kishore Mahbubani

At the “INSIGHT FORUM” organised by Our Hong Kong Foundation, eminent global thinker Professor Kishore Mahbubani called on the US to hit the “pause button” on its geopolitical contest against China amidst the raging global pandemic.

Prof Mahbubani, who is a Distinguished Fellow at National University of Singapore’s Asia Research Institute, pointed out that the US trade war against China had hurt the American economy without solving the underlying economic concerns it was meant to resolve. Such policies have not raised America’s standing in the world, neither have they weakened China significantly nor led to the progressive isolation of China from most countries.

He said that the Biden administration should press the “pause button” on the contest, especially when billions of people around the world are suffering from the massive economic recession caused by Covid-19. The only way to jumpstart the global economy is for the world’s two leading powers to work together.
