【新唐人2012年1月18日讯】1月16号，北京举行纪念尼克松访华40周年晚宴。中共国家副主席习近平在致辞时表示，中美两国应该“密切合作”。在中美关系备受人民币汇率、南海等问题困扰的时刻，习近平的这番讲话，被外界认为是在向美国示好。下面请看本台记者的报导。
纪念尼克松访华40周年晚宴上，中共国家副主席习近平说，中美两国应该更加紧密合作，化解国际危机，决不能让两国关系再次出现重大干扰和挫折。
对此，美国《路透社》分析指出，习近平的讲话是在向美国示好，中方希望保持与美国的平稳关系，这将有利于习近平近期的访美和中共高层今年的18大交接班。
大陆自由撰稿人、原河北人民广播电台编辑朱欣欣对《新唐人》表示，虽然中共拥有一定的经济实力，但中共自己也知道，目前它还无法和美国抗衡。
朱欣欣：“无论是从它的现实讲，还是将来讲，我想中共要维持中美之间这种关系，目前（中共）宣传的这种看法，只是出于它的现实利益来考虑的。”
英国广播公司《BBC》中文网评论说，尽管习近平希望中美关系平稳，但两国之间实际上面临很多重大矛盾。中美巨大的贸易不平衡、人民币汇率问题，在短期内仍然很难解决。在敏感的南海问题上，中美间更是冲突不断。
针对中共在亚太地区的扩张，美国这个月初发表的《防务战略指南》表示，美国的战略重心将转向亚太，强化在亚太地区的外交、经济和军事活动，保持亚太地区稳定。而近期缅甸政府释放政治犯、逐步向民主转型的趋势，也让中共非常恼火。
朱欣欣分析指出，美国是个基督教国家，信奉有神论，在执政理念上，首先要坚持真理。而中共作为一个类似“伪宗教”的无神论组织，奉行利益至上的“机会主义”。二者在意识形态上、价值观上是绝对对立的。
朱欣欣：“习近平讲：现在无论怎么变化，我们都要和美国友好，搞好关系。这只是一种外交辞令。从长远来讲，只要是共产党在中国占统治地位，中美两国之间的关系，从根本上是对立的，总会摩擦不断。”
据报导，美国前国务卿基辛格也出席了这次晚宴。他曾经陪同美国总统尼克松在1972年2月访问中国。而尼克松的这次访华，被认为结束了两国的相互隔绝状态，因此也被称为“破冰之旅”。
朱欣欣：“人们对文化大革命，从刚开始的狂热到后来的怀疑，直到林彪事件，毛泽东这种偶像崇拜的地位受到极大的打击。在国内，它﹙中共﹚面临很大的危机。国际上来讲，中苏关系越来越紧张，所以它﹙中共﹚利用美国来抗衡苏联。”
目前外界普遍认为，中共国家副主席习近平，很有可能会在中共18大上接替胡锦涛，成为中共总书记。17号，中共外交部发言人证实，习近平将在近期内出访美国。这被认为是中共新任领导人接班前的惯例。

40th Anniversary of President Nixon’s Visit to China:
Looking back and Looking forward
On Jan.16, Beijing held a dinner party to commemorate the
40th anniversary of Richard Nixon’s visit to China.
Chinese Vice Chairman Xi Jinping said the two countries
should be “cooperating closely".
Sino-US relations currently have problems on the issues of
the RMB exchange rate, the South Sea and other problems at the moment.
Xi’s speech has been considered a friendly sign to the United
States.
At the dinner party, the Chinese Vice Chairman Xi Jinping
said that China and the U.S. should work closely to resolve
the international crisis and not allow any disruption between
the two countries.
Reuter’s interpretation of Xi’s speech was that it demonstrated
an amicable show to the U.S. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) hopes to maintain the smooth relations.
This may be of aid to Xi Jinping’s visit to the U.S. which
is a good sign for the 18th National Congress power shift.
Writer Zhu Xinxin, former editor of the Hebei People’s
Radio Station said to NTDTV that
although the CCP has economic strength,
it knows it cannot compete with the US at present.
Zhu Xinxin: “No matter whether it is with regard to current
reality or the future,
I think the CCP wants to maintain its relationship with the U.S.
Currently, the CCP is spreading propaganda highlighting this
view, in consideration of its practical interests."
The BBC Chinese network commented that
although Xi Jinping hopes that Sino-US relations are stable,
the two countries are face many contradictions.
For example, there is a huge trading imbalance
between the two countries.
The RMB exchange rate also raises some issues.
In the short term, these problems are difficult to solve.
On the sensitive issue of the South Sea, both countries have
consistently conflicting views.
With regard to the CCP’s expansion in the Asia-Pacific
region, the U.S. published a “Defense Strategy Guide" earlier,
which highlighted that the U.S. strategic focus
will turn to the Asia-Pacific,
to strengthen their diplomacy, economy, military activities
and to maintain stability.
Recently, the Myanmar government have released
their political prisoners.
This trend of shifting to democracy has also
aggravated the CCP.
Zhu Xinxin’s analysis of the U.S. highlights that is a Christian
country, upholding the principle of truth in its political administration.
The CCP, as a pseudo-religious yet atheistic organization,
follows opportunism. Thus, they are sharply divided in ideology.
Zhu Xinxin: “Xi said, the CCP will maintain friendly relations
with U.S. despite changes.
This is nothing but a diplomatic strategy.
As long as CCP rules China, it will be fundamentally
antagonistic to the U.S.”
Reports state former U.S. Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger
Also attended the dinner.
Kissinger accompanied President Nixon to visit China
in February, 1972.
This visit was considered an “ice-breaking trip”,
ending the segregation between the two countries.
Zhu Xinxin: “From the people’s frenzy at the beginning of
Cultural Revolution,
to their subsequent suspicion and the Lin Biao incident,
the idolatry surrounding Mao had been greatly undermined.
At home, the CCP faced internal crises; internationally, Sino-
Soviet relations worsened.
Thus, CCP made use of the U.S. to counter the Soviet Union.”
It is now widely believed that Chinese Vice Chairman Xi Jinping
is to succeed Hu Jintao at the CCP’s 18th National Congress.
Jan. 17, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman confirmed that
Xi Jinping will visit U.S. in the near future,
which is now considered customary practice for
China’s future presidents.
