【按：如果有百分之二十的利潤，資本就會蠢蠢欲動；如果有百分之五十的利潤，資本就會冒險；如果有百分之一百的利潤，資本就敢於冒絞首的危險；如果有百分之三百的利潤，資本就敢於踐踏人間一切法律-馬克思。所以，美國大選和抗疫是不是一場能夠博取百分之三百利潤的資本與人性角逐，不言而喻】
當地時間27日，美國《國家利益》雜誌發表題為《後疫情時代，特朗普政府會讓中國再度偉大嗎？》的文章。文章詳細對比了中美在抗擊新冠肺炎疫情中的不同表現，指出這種迥異表現可能導致世界秩序發生重大轉變。
The American diplomatic magazine The National Interest published an article Monday titled "Will the Trump White House Make China Great Again in a Post-Pandemic Era?" The article pointed out that China and the United States have behaved very differently during this epidemic, which may lead to a major shift in the world order.
文章開頭寫道，在這場戰“疫”中，中國有效地運用了科學的、以健康為重的方式來抗擊新冠病毒，而美國卻採取了以經濟為重的方式應對疫情，這無疑削弱了科學家和醫學專家的作用。不僅如此，特朗普甚至拒絕了美國情報和軍事機構提供的相關信息，以至於他在新冠疫情對美國造成的影響上出現各種判斷失誤。
The article praised China in adopting a "scientific and health-driven approach" to combat the coronavirus, and criticized the Trump government's "economic-fueled" approach which in the authors' opinion has "undermined scientists and health professionals."
與此同時，文章稱，中國全面的地緣政治戰略為自身從歐洲和非洲帶來了眾多機遇，相比之下，特朗普政府卻狹隘地把中國臺灣和斯里蘭卡當作“棋子”。
文章寫道，“由於缺乏對美國的外交敏銳度和戰略眼光，特朗普總統的種種偏頗、失敗、疑慮和無能，都將自動為中國帶來勝利。”

文章舉例稱，為了轉移國內的指責，特朗普近日宣佈暫停對世衛組織的資助，同時還揚言要對其進行審查，以評估其在應對大流行病時的“處理不當”。而為了提醒美國人他是抗疫“啦啦隊長”，他則在經濟刺激的支票上印上自己的名字——這是一種前所未有的“零售式競選”路數，暴露了某種自卑感。
"With his lack of diplomatic acumen and strategic vision for the United States, President Trump's range of deflections, failures, misgivings, and utter incompetence in the face of the coronavirus presents a victory for China by default," the article said, calling Trump's decision on suspending funding to the World Health Organization a way to deflect blame, and said his efforts in making sure that his name is printed on stimulus checks were "an unprecedented form of retail politics with an inferiority complex."

而在特朗普極力“甩鍋”的同時，中國正成為人道主義救援的敏銳先行者。中國竭盡所能為深陷疫情困境的各國提供援助，這包括數以萬計的口罩、呼吸機乃至醫護人員等。相比之下，特朗普所做的卻是援引《國防生產法案》，要求3M公司停止向加拿大和拉美市場出口口罩。
文章一針見血地指出，“頗具諷刺意味的是，美國接受的中國援助甚至比美國政府自己提供給民眾的都要多。”
While U.S. President Donald Trump is busy shifting the blame, China has become the "perceptive leader in humanitarian response," the article said, through providing medical supplies including thousands of masks, ventilators, and even doctors to countries that are in critical need of help, with the U.S. included, given that it has accepted more Chinese aid than it actually provided to its own people.
文章進一步指出，對中國來說，抗疫過程中的對外援助能夠將“一帶一路”倡議轉變為新的“健康絲綢之路”，從而提升中國的全球聲譽。“一帶一路”因此將變得更具吸引力，而在這一點上，對大多數國家而言，加入美國陣營幾乎是毫無益處的。
China's "generous aid" towards the world, according the article, represents a strategic opportunity to "transform the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) into a new Health Silk Road" which will in turn bolster the country's global reputation.

以斯里蘭卡為例，美國駐斯里蘭卡大使威爾斯曾將這個國家稱為重要的“不動產”，因為其在印度洋具有重要的戰略位置。然而，如今美國正失去對斯里蘭卡的控制，這點從其未能延續《部隊地位協定》就可以看出。另外，美國還曾承諾通過《千年挑戰合約》向斯里蘭卡提供4.8億美元的發展援助，但最終該國卻拒絕簽署該協議。
與此同時，在斯里蘭卡政府發出緊急求援信號僅數日後，中國立即為斯里蘭卡延長了10年的優惠貸款以幫助其渡過疫情難關。斯里蘭卡和許多國家一樣，正相應地轉變對華合作關係。
Taking Sri Lanka, a country becoming "increasingly more important" to the U.S. as an example, the article stated that "The United States is losing its grip over Sri Lanka made evident by its failure to renew its Status of Forces Agreement, even after pledging $480 million in development aid via the Millennium Challenge Compact (MCC)." Meanwhile, China extended a ten-year 500 million U.S. dollar concessionary loan to help Sri Lanka fight COVID-19 only days after an urgent request was sent out from the Colombo administration.

文章最後總結稱，疫情當前，中國正積極發展經濟夥伴關係，推進外交政策目標，而特朗普的短視政策正把美國引向地緣政治的自然失敗。若美國繼續推行失敗的政策、不信任盟友、推卸全球責任——那麼不用有意推進，中國也將在後疫情時代自動成為全球領導者。
"If Trump continues to pursue failed policies, distrust allies, and shirk global responsibilities, then China will be well-poised to replace the United States as the global leader in a post-pandemic era—not by design but by default," the article concluded.

【結語：最後還是想用《資本論》的論述來看待目前的美國，從理論到實際，人們不盡的探索和求證理論的正確，很顯然，百餘年前的那位德國思想家，哲學家似乎已經看到了今天的這一切：作為資本家，他只是人格化的資本。他的靈魂就是資本的靈魂。而資本只有一種生活本能，這就是增殖自身，獲取剩餘價值，用自己的不變部分即生產資料吮吸盡可能多的剩餘勞動。資本是死勞動，它象吸血鬼一樣，只有吮吸活勞動才有生命，吮吸的活勞動越多，它的生命就越旺盛。】
