强硬的男人像川普，能硬的只有嗓门 [美国媒体]

Is Trump Going Soft On China?

特朗普对中国软弱？

The administration just let a Chinese electronics company that repeatedly violated international sanctions off the hook.

政府为一家重复违反国际禁令的中国电子公司解禁

【美国赫芬顿邮报】

【日期】2017年4月4日

​

The Chinese electronicscompany, Zhongxing Telecommunications Equipment has an extensive list ofwrongdoing that should make it an easy target for an administration that talkstough on China, yet President Donald Trump let it off the hook. He just gaveZTE a clean bill of health after it admitted in court to avoiding sanctions onIran. The administration assessed ZTE a fine and agreed to reverse FormerPresident Barack Obama’s action that put it on a trade blacklist. That thiscame the week before the summit with China’s President Xi Jinping can be nocoincidence.

中兴通讯设备股份有限公司, 一家不法行为记录可以翻上好几页的中国电子公司，一家本该是美国当局拿来显示自身对华强硬态度的最佳目标的公司，但是现在川普把它从正在示众的处刑架上拎下来了。它这边刚在法庭上对自己朝伊朗出口商品的问题上认了个错，川普那边“吧唧”就给它盖了个“人畜无害”的戳。美国行政部门用手掂量下装着中兴交罚金的钱袋子，直接就同意推翻前总统奥巴马的决议，麻溜的把它从贸易黑名单里摘了出来。而上述的一切都发生在川普跑去见习主席的前一周，这事怎么看都和“巧合”俩字搭不上边。
（文中事件时间表：
   2016年11月美国指控中兴违反伊朗制裁法案，继续朝伊朗出口商品，并准备把他列入贸易出口黑名单，后经过数次延期执行，直到17年3月，美国商务部决定对中兴实施部分堪称美国史上最严厉的出口限制。
   3月8日中兴通讯与美国政府达成和解 ,同意支付8.9亿美元罚金。
   3月30日中兴通讯公司宣称已被移出美国出口限制黑名单。
   4月7日特朗普访华邀请。）

If you have never heard ofZTE, these stories will bring you up to speed. ZTE pleaded guilty in court fortrying to skirt sanctions on Iran. ZTE also plotted to skirt them for NorthKorea, Syria, Sudan and Cuba. Congress declared ZTE a national security riskand the company loaded spyware on millions of Android phones that sent data toBeijing.

啥？你说你没听说过“中兴”这个名字，那就把下面的文字快速看一遍：中兴公司在法庭上承认自己正在卖东西给伊朗。它也承认自己正在卖东西给朝鲜，呃~还有叙利亚，嗯~还有苏丹，好吧~还有古巴……国会公开宣称中兴是美国国家安全的大隐患，它卖的手机里有间谍软件，这东西可以朝北京发送从几百万用户那收集到的数据。

The guilty plea engineered for ZTE came with a $900 million fine. “Record Plea Deal,” screamedheadlines. It sounds tough, but ...

这个专门为了让中兴认罪而设计的审判大会还附带着9亿美元的巨额罚金。连标题都是超大号的黑体字“Record Plea Deal”（“交易辩述记录”），怎么样？场面大不大？名字够不够档次？态度硬不硬气？……但是……

ZTE’s share price climbed 7.4percent in Hong Kong on the news. More importantly, fining ZTE instead ofblocking market access mirrors precisely the Obama administration’s practice of“punishing” big Wall Street banks. Wrongdoing that materially harmed millionsof Americans brought fines, not jail. While Goldman Sachs’s $5 billion penaltysounds huge, keep in mind their revenue in 2016 was $37.1 billion. GoldmanSachs bought an indulgence, its managers avoided jail time, and the bank’soperations never missed a beat. So it is with ZTE. ZTE’s revenue was $15.1billion in 2015.

前脚审判大会刚结束，后脚新闻里立刻传出中兴公司香港股票狂飙7.4%。这还不是最关键的，最重要的是你们处罚中兴的方法难道不应该是让它立马收拾铺盖走人吗？为啥换成了罚款？？！而且所有的流程居然和前总统奥巴马处罚华尔街大银行的手段一模一样！（作者：这是中国的公司，中国的！它不是我们家孩子啊！）中兴这个中国公司干了这么多坏事，伤害了几百万美国的劳苦大众，你们罚点钱儿就完事了？难道你们没有考虑过把他们抓起来什么的……？   
好吧！你们认为罚了9亿美元已经算下手很黑了是吗？你看人家高盛公司被奥巴马一把就罚了50亿美元，50亿啊！！！！！美元啊！！！！你说奥巴马下手黑不黑？狠不狠？什么？你说太黑了？那你现在给我仔细听好啊！高盛公司光是2016年一年的收入就有371亿美元！况且人家高盛花50亿美元买的不仅仅是摆平眼前这点破事，而是摆平以后所有的事！买的是政府的放纵！买的是所有高层的“护身符”！况且人家高盛挨罚以后再也不敢蹦达了，违规的银行操作一次也没发生过。而被罚了9亿的中兴，他们2015年的年收入是151亿美元！！

Trump vowed toughness, but howis this tougher than Obama?

川普当初发誓美国的态度要更强硬，现在谁来告诉我他到底比奥巴马强硬在哪？

Furthermore, Chineseintelligence would have to be stupid — and they surely are not — to allow arelatively minor sum scuttle an arrangement whereby ZTE turns a profit whilebugging millions of American mobile phones.

另外，在中国的情报机构里领薪水的人都是傻子吗？当然不是！他们精明着呢！他们丢卒保车，短尾求生，断的是中兴公司9亿美元的利润的尾，求的是几百万安装在美国民众手机里的窃听装置的生。

By 2015, during the middle ofa storm over Chinese hacking, ZTE was a sticking point because Congress had declaredthem a threat to national security. Obama reached an “understanding,” whichmeans he mostly ignored the issue. By 2016 Obama learned his lesson and put ZTEon a blacklist for its sanctions evasion.

在2015年，就在中国黑客风暴席卷美国大陆期间，中兴在这次大行动中起到了重要节点作用！而国会已经宣布中兴是美国国家安全的一个重大威胁，可奥巴马却达成了一个所谓“谅解”……他压根没把这当回事。而在2016年奥巴马总算学会了一丢丢的国家安全方面的东西，他把中兴以制裁逃税的名义丢进了黑名单。

Trump came into office wantingto remove ZTE from the blacklist and has now done exactly that. Don’t everaccuse the Trump administration of being unable to accomplish its goals.

  如今川普进坐进了美国总统办公室，他现在正在想法子把中兴从黑名单里弄出来，甚至已经把这个该死的工作完成了！！好吧~永远都别谴责川普的政府没法完成自己的工作了。

 Trump vowed toughness, but how is this tougherthan Obama?

川普当初发誓美国的态度要更加强硬，现在谁来告诉我他到底比奥巴马强硬在哪？

Chest thumping about forcingChina to discipline North Korea; saber-rattling about trade; bold calls forscrapping the “one China” policy; loud criticism of Obama’s feckless SouthChina Sea policy ... all faded to, “Pay a fine, then you may continue spying onAmericans and aiding the largest sponsor of radical Islamic terrorism in theworld.”

当初参加竞选的时候，川普拍着胸脯保证要强压中国去限制朝鲜；在贸易方面叫嚣着要使用武力；甚至狂吼着要扰乱“一个中国”的方针政策；疯狂的指责奥巴马在中国南海问题上的软弱无能……这一切仿若昨天，如今却随风飘散~~~~“交罚款！然后你们就可以继续监视美国，就可以去支持世界上最大的伊斯兰激进恐怖组织的头号赞助商。”

In the run-up to the summitwith Xi, Trump has been talking tough: “Well if China is not going to solveNorth Korea, we will. That is all I am telling you. ... [W]e cannot continue totrade if we are going to have an unfair deal like we have right now. This is anunfair deal.” But when it comes to doing, China has observed a willingness toput a price on America’s security.

  直到与习进行会晤的筹备阶段，川普还在一直谈论所谓“强硬”：“中国要是搞不定朝鲜，那就换我们来！这就是我要告诉你们的……如果这是个不公平的交易，我们有权说NO！比方说现在就有些生意不怎么公平！”。川普说的咋样？霸不霸气？绝对霸气四射！不过当他跑去见习的时候……
美国：“为了维护美国本国安全！！！所以…………请您开个价吧~~”。
中国：“……好吧，我知道了。”。

View the ZTE sop to Beijing through the prism of Trump’s failure toeven try to repeal Obamacare. China no doubt believes that Trump’s campaignpromises are hollow. China could be excused for thinking the CliffsNotesfor “Art of the Deal,” diplomacy edition, simply reads, “Sound tough; actmeek.”

处理了中兴，讨好完北京，做人如此失败的川普居然还试图推翻欧巴马一手促成的“棱镜”。中国现在已经完全清楚：川普在竞选总统时所做的所有对华强硬的许诺，全部都是在放屁！全部！！！中国当然可以原谅川普所谓“交易的艺术”的警示牌、“普氏外交”的“狂妄版”……
现在跟我一起念：“强硬男人像川普，能硬的只有嗓门！”


Letting ZTE off the hook nowand doing it right before the big Trump/Xi summit sends exactly the wrongmessage, unless the message Trump wants to send is one of weakness.

  刚好在“川-习”对话前让中兴脱困，川普所发的这个信号实在是一个彻彻底底的错误，除非这这个信息是川普故意告诉对手自己的弱点在哪。

Trump will go soft on China as soon as he realizes that its leader belongs to the club he so admires.

川普见过习后立刻就对中国示弱了，这说明他见到了他所仰慕的“硬汉俱乐部”的首领了。

Bet trump owes Chinese banks money, too.
我敢打赌 川普也欠了中国的银行一大笔钱。

How tough on China did anyone think he would really be when he's into them for 300 million? It sounded good to the unwashed masses, though, huh?

川普对华态度有多强硬？谁会认为早就是那300W人中的一员的川普能够硬得起来，这只能让那群乌合之众听起来感觉不错，至于真的强硬，哈？别逗我笑了！

At his age "going soft" is probably his biggest problem, china , the wall and obamacare are all distant second place finishers.

就他的年纪而言“正在变软”才是他首要问题，中国，墨西哥边界的墙和奥巴马都距离第二名的位置远的很。

He will "go soft" on china since like they did the last time, they'll give him something he wants , like a building license and, voila, no more NKorea chatter.

大概他会在最后一次做“那种事”后就会跑到中国彻底“变软”，中国会提供给他想要的东西，比如一个建筑许可证，瞧！这里就不错，在这朝鲜制造的吵闹声烦不到你。

Trump is absolutely going soft on China. But that popular little blue pill he no doubt needs must be working because he is doing an excellent job of screwing Americans.

川普绝对华态度绝对变得软弱了。但是他也毫无疑问的需要那些大众流行的蓝色小药丸（wei ge）起作用，因为他正在做一项卓越的意义深远的工作，那就是给一大堆美国人民“传花授粉”。
