中新网评:美国众议长选举“连续剧”暴露美式民主痼疾******

  中新网北京1月9日电(蒋鲤)在15轮投票表决后,美国众议院议长选举这场“连续剧”终于落下帷幕,众议院共和党领袖凯文•麦卡锡最终成功当选第55任美国众议院议长。这是美国国会过去164年来耗时最久的一次议长选举记录,将美国“对抗式民主”的弊端暴露无遗。

  由于两党对立加剧、党派内斗、利益分配不均等因素,众议长选举陷入一场拉锯战。在此次众议长竞选中,美国民主党议员继续抱团,多轮投票中,一票不投麦卡锡,共和党右翼“强硬派”领头的约20人小团体也拒绝投票麦卡锡。

  麦卡锡的当选之路一波三折,除了本人的“政治投机派”角色在国会不受欢迎外,与共和党内部政治分歧关系密切。

  一方面,共和党党内反对者认为,麦卡锡对民主党态度过于软弱,无力对抗民主党控制的参议院和拜登政府,另一方面,因为共和党的多数优势微弱,党内一些影响力较小的派系的政治力量则被放大,有利于他们巩固自己的选票。

  此外,党内反对者也认为,自己的选票没有换取更多利益,希望以此作为筹码换取麦卡锡更大的让步,比如让他们获得众议院重要委员会中的职务。

  作为仅次于美国总统、副总统的政坛三号人物,众议院议长通常由众议院多数党领袖担任,选举几乎没有悬念。然而,麦卡锡此次为当选,不得不做出多个关键让步,其中可能包括恢复一项罢黜议长动议机制,使得众议长的权力被削弱,难以掌控众议院。

  美国有线电视新闻网CNN称,麦卡锡在这场不合时宜的政治勒索中作出让步,这种绥靖政策只会让极端主义势力更加强大。

  这场引发全世界围观的尴尬选举暴露出美国政治存在严重的对立和分化。在权力博弈思维的裹挟下,党派利益凌驾于国家和人民利益之上,美国两党相互拆台,陷入“为反对而反对”的无脑对垒。而即便是一党内,也会因为利益分配问题产生不同的小派系,相互对抗,选票变成了谋利益的工具。

  从国会山骚乱到打破记历史记录的15轮众议长选举,“对抗式民主”让美国政治陷入瓶颈,长期对抗势必会让政客们丧失客观公正的判断能力,其政治阶层是否有能力治理国家也会引发质疑。

  两党之争和党派内斗进一步放大了美国政治体制弊病,美国所谓的“民主”形象,让全世界大跌眼镜。鼓吹以选民利益为先的美式选举,变成了政客们利益置换的游戏,进一步彰显出美国“民主政治”日渐失能,不断极化的党争已使美国政治制度陷入死循环。

  House speaker election reveals deep-rooted problems in U.S. democracy

  (ECNS) -- The Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was elected as the 55th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 ballots. As the most grueling House speaker election in the past 164 years, the election has highlighted the defects of the country’s "confrontational democracy".

  The election once reached a stalemate due to intense partisan strife, inner-party struggle among the Republicans, uneven distribution of interests, and more. Democratic Party members forged a close alliance, refusing to vote for McCarthy, while about 20 Republicans also declined to cast ballots for the GOP leader.

  Except for his unpopular role as a "political speculator" in Congress, McCarthy’s hard-won election can be attributed to turmoil within the Republican Party.

  On the one hand, opponents in the Republican Party believe that the GOP leader's attitude toward the Democrats is too weak to confront the Senate controlled by Democrats and the Biden administration.

  On the other hand, the political power of some less influential factions in the Republican Party has been amplified due to the Party’s weak majority advantage in the House of Representatives, which is conducive to consolidating their ticket warehouses.

  Meanwhile, these opponents believe that their votes failed to win them more benefits, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip for McCarthy's further concessions, such as getting them positions in important House Committees.

  As the third political figure after the President and Vice President of the U.S., the speaker, by tradition, is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives.

  But McCarthy has made many concessions in order to bring the ultra conservatives along, involving what’s known as the “motion to vacate,” a mechanism by which members can force a vote to depose the speaker. The reported concessions will empower individual members at the expense of McCarthy’s sway as speaker.

  CNN thought the concessions he made during this unseemly political shakedown would only make the extremist faction more powerful.

  This embarrassing election, which has drawn global attention, exposed the serious opposition and polarization in American politics. Both Democrats and Republicans put their interests before that of the country and its people, attacking and opposing each other irrationally.

  Besides, different factions arise within a single party and confront each other because of the distribution of interests. Votes have become a tool to win more benefits.

  From Capitol riots to the House Speaker election with record-breaking ballots, "confrontational democracy" has become a bottleneck of American politics. Long-term confrontation will surely impede politicians to think objectively and fairly while their capacity of governing the country will also raise doubts among the public.

  Both parties’ struggle and infighting among the Republicans have further amplified the defects of the American political system, with its "democratic" image shocking the world.

  The U.S.-style election, which advocates putting voters' interests first, has become a game of interest exchange among politicians. In addition, it further demonstrates the malfunction of American "democratic politics" and the constantly polarized party struggle that has trapped the American political system into an infinite cycle.

【青听·两岸】如何更好在大陆发展?在陆台青支招:不要误信对大陆的扭曲******

 

     来到大陆,他们见证了祖国日新月异的发展和进步,结识了新的朋友、凝聚了新的情感,感受到了同胞的热情和温暖。他们是两岸融合发展的“沟通者”、正能量的“传播者”。两岸青年声音,你我共同倾听。中国新闻网特别推出《青听ㆍ两岸》融媒体栏目,共同记录两岸青年的真实声音。  

  中新网1月20日电 (马壮 陈文韬)台湾青年到大陆工作都需要注意什么?来大陆扎根前需要准备什么?三位台湾青年日前做客中国新闻网《青听ㆍ两岸》栏目,为广大台青分享在大陆求学、工作经验,给要来大陆发展的台青“支招”。

  不要误信台湾当局或台湾媒体对大陆的扭曲和谣言

  北京台资企业协会青年会副会长郑博宇曾协助不少台湾青年在大陆扎根落地,在他看来重要的是要导正价值观。他总结了来大陆发展的6个原则:靠自己、接地气、不投机、共发展、促融合、迎未来。其中,最关键的是接地气。

  据郑博宇观察,很多台青来大陆发展会带着台湾的视角去看大陆的方方面面,“这其实是给自己建了一道墙,会影响你融入当地并和当地人交流。这样的壁垒不利于在大陆的落地和发展。”

  郑博宇建议,若来大陆发展,应该把在台湾的一些想法放下来,然后很好地用心去感受要来发展的地方,该走走就要去走走,该看看就要去看看,好好地从接地气的过程中寻找机会,融入大陆、找出路。“如果都带着一些成见,不断地累积,就会产生很多很负面的想法。”

  郑博宇特别提醒,千万不要去尽信台湾网络上,包含一些台湾媒体对大陆的报道,这确实对台青认知大陆有很大的影响。

  而在聊到有什么话想对自己的台湾的亲友说时,郑博宇再次强调,“千万不要误信台湾当局或台湾媒体一些对于大陆的不实的扭曲和谣言,我们会让你们看看,我们在大陆真的都挺好。”

  要多做功课才能更好地在大陆扎根

  台青初入大陆职场也会面临文化差异产生的问题。光大金融租赁公司转型办公室副主任黄柏翔,初来大陆时也因文化的差异闹出一些“囧事”。

  由于最初不熟悉大陆文字的用法和表述,黄柏翔所写的文章被大陆同事认定为“很台味”。故黄柏翔建议新来大陆的台青可以通过诸如读大陆媒体的报道,来熟悉如何精准用词和表达。

  他认为,台湾青年如果想来大陆发展,做好准备是必要的功课,通过一定的准备才能去克服遇到的问题。他常对学弟学妹们说,如果要来大陆深耕,都需要做一些前期的准备,包括相关的大陆新闻、大陆的发展趋势等等。

  黄柏翔承认,很多台青朋友,尤其没来过大陆的,要一次性的融入大陆是非常困难的。他以自己亲身经历告诉要来大陆发展的青年朋友,在大陆扎根需要去建立一个过程,首先要设定方向,要去看大陆发展的趋势,要对自己想要去领域多做功课,只有这样才会扎根地更好。 

  迷茫的时候要想想为什么当初想要来这里

  很多台湾青年怀揣着梦想来到大陆,期盼寻求更多的机会。谈及要扎根大陆的心态,清华大学公共管理学院台级博士生陈冠颖认为,“最重要的就是不忘初心”。

  陈冠颖说,身边有不少台青在大陆求学,因为迷茫没有坚定地继续留在大陆发展。很多人被网络上所谓的“一夜暴富”蒙蔽,幻想来大陆可以实现“一夜暴富”。陈冠颖分析说,大陆对于台青而言,存在很多的机会,二十来岁的年龄选择并不多,如果要来大陆发展一定要自己想清楚,不忘初心坚持下去。

  “特别是当大家迷茫的时候,我就要想想自己为什么当初想要来这里,来了之后就不要再去想东想西。”(完)
