外交关系授权法 H.R.2410

外交关系授权法，由众议院外交事务委员会主席伯曼(Rep. Howard Berman)提出，授权对2010以及2011年的一些外交事务支出做出拨款。法案授权美国总统把卫星与相关零件从美国武器出口管制的项目中免除，不过，直接或者间接有助于中国发展太空项目的卫星并不在免除的范围之内。法案也设立基金会鼓励美国学生到中国等国家留学。

该法授权在美国驻北京大使馆内设立负责西藏事务的部门，并主张推动非政府组织干涉西藏事务，还要求寻求在拉萨设立领事馆的可能。

United State Assistance- The President shall provide grants to nongovernmental organizations to support sustainable economic development, cultural and historical preservation, health care, education, and environmental sustainability projects for Tibetan communities in the Tibet Autonomous Region and in other Tibetan communities in China

The Secretary of State is authorized to establish a Tibet Section within the United States Embassy in Beijing, People's Republic of China, for the purposes of following political, economic, and social developments inside Tibet, including Tibetan areas of Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, and Yunnan provinces, until such time as a United States consulate in Tibet is established. Such Tibet Section shall have the primary responsibility for reporting on human rights issues in Tibet and shall work in close cooperation with the Office of the Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues. The chief of such Tibet Section should be of senior rank.

众议院院会在10号晚些时候还通过跟外交关系授权法案相关的修正案，其中一项由国会美中工作组共同主席拉森众议员Rep Larsen, Rick [WA-2] 与科克众议员共同提出。修正案表示，美国在全球推动解决气候变化问题的时候，必须保护有关清洁能源科技的知识产权。（原文如下）

H.AMDT.187 to H.R.2410 An amendment numbered 7 printed in part C of House Report 111-143 to provide that the policy of the United States, with respect to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, shall be to prevent any weakening of, and ensure robust compliance with and enforcement of, existing international legal requirements for the protection of intellectual property rights, related to energy or environmental technologies.

由此可见，一方面美国在金融危机中暂时寻求中国的协作与帮助，另一方面求变本加厉继续干涉和煽动西藏问题扩大化。一方面，想要与中国合作推动气候变化谈判和全球温室气体减排，另一方面却有把持相关科学技术和知识产权，生怕发展中国家从中获益。这样的两面嘴脸毫无信义可言，又如何能取信于中国，推进中美关系的发展呢？可以预见，一旦美国经济政治军事形势好转，反华势力必将卷土重来，现在的这些立法就是在制造障碍，埋下伏笔，侵蚀合作和信任的基础，为将来留余地。

三百勇士与八百勇士

不满意以南京大屠杀来表现中国的抗战历史，也不满意“我的团长我的团”，我找了一下，台湾拍过一部“四行仓库”，挺好。里面的歌里唱得好，“宁战死，不退让”，这个比较符合当时的历史状态，也应该是我们回顾那段历史的基调。

淞沪会战中的四行仓库一战，是整个抗日战争光辉的起点，是挫败日本军国主义侵略计划，鼓励中国抗战的旗帜。虽然平型关一战伏击成功，歼敌逾千，但相比起来，四行的惨烈与悲壮，对整个中国抗战的历史而言更具代表性。

古代斯巴达300勇士守温泉关，最近好莱坞的片子看起来还是很有霸气。那种不屈的精神，拒绝当奴隶的勇气，面对死亡的从容，藐视敌人的豪气，是一个民族最应当具备的性格。守四行的八百勇士（实有400多人，大多数是新兵）的壮举毫不亚于这三百勇士。从孤军奋战，到困守孤营而不降，直至被俘而不屈，最终回到抗战队伍，故事之曲折跌宕，军人的慷慨赴死精神，令人感佩。

谢晋元团才是抗战中真正的英雄团，四行仓库之战才是中国军人和中国人民在民族危亡时刻不屈不挠的象征。

正是由于淞沪会战，特别是四行仓库之战对日本侵略者的重大打击，才导致其占领南京之后兽性大发，采取大规模屠杀以摧垮中国抗战意志的办法。从这个意义上说，日本人在南京的罪行，恰恰是中国人不畏强权，反抗暴政的结果，而不是放弃抵抗、任人屠杀的结果。

所以最好不要再追着斯皮尔伯格的道儿，一味满足外国人的好奇心和怜悯心了。

TFP and Krugman Bias

When financial crisis hit Asia in 1997, the wise Krugman quickly pointed out that there's a fundamental problem in the Asian economy and he used the Total Factor Productivity as a theoretical concept to explain the phenomenon. The lack of innovation in the Asian economies, argued Krugman, ultimately contributed to the collapse of monetary system throughout the region. Though others rush to criticize the so called crony capitalism and the whole pattern of political economy in Asia, I always thought that Krugman's argument was the most fitful one.

Now it's the American turn to suffer the financial meltdown, but so far, the prophet Krugman hasn't even mention the word TFP. For liberal economists, the idea that American market economy is not at the center of technological innovation and productivity growth is unthinkable and even blasphemous. The bias agaisnt Asian development is obvious now. Particularly when Krugman traveled to China and told the Chinese that their way of polluting the world is unsustainable at best. When it comes to the TFP, Krugman never wants to confess that two factors slip his mind: the scientific and technological innovation in the developing world is far more effective than he thought; if not, that's because the developed world always monopoliz the knowledge in order to prevent competition from outside the club. So stop empty talking Prof. Krugman. If you really want to save the world, try to pursuade big companies to transfer more energy saving techs to the developing world first!
