【新唐人2013年12月21日讯】“第24届中美商贸联合委员会”会议，12月19号在北京揭幕。在经历了“东海防空识别区”问题上的针锋相对，和两国战舰在南海对峙险些相撞的危机之后，接下来双方将如何界定中、美关系﹖这是外界当前十分关注的一个焦点。请看报导。
为期两天的“中美商贸联委会”会议，由中共国务院副总理汪洋、美国商务部长普里茨克、及贸易代表弗罗曼共同主持。
“中美商贸联合委员会”号称中美贸易摩擦的“灭火器”，设立于1983年，是中美最早建立的高级别经贸磋商机制之一。
今年7月，在“中美战略与经济对话”时，汪洋曾提出：“中美经济关系有点像夫妻”，“你中有我，我中有你，虽然也有吵架，有分歧，但是都必须增进了解，增强互信，培育共同的生活基础。”他还说：“我们两家不能走离婚的路，像邓文迪和默多克，代价太大了。”
然而，这一段“高论”却招来了大陆网民的嘲讽与恶搞，甚至有消息说，汪洋回国后遭到高层批评。此后“中美夫妻关系论”就成了外界的笑料。
旅美中国问题专家石实：“我认为中、美关系说到最后，其实是一个互相之间的利益依赖的关系。中共最根本的利益就是维护自己的统治，延续自己的统治，这是中共的利益所在。美国的利益所在在哪里呢？就是经济。就是美国要依赖于中国使得他的经济能够弄上去，这是美国把中国作为朋友的最根本的条件，要有利益。”
旅美中国问题专家石实认为，中共现在对内增加赋税、收钱，把老百姓的钱全部转换了之后，到国外去购买东西，为的是让英、美这些国家，不要在迫害人权等问题上说三道四。
香港《明报》发表署名评论文章，作者孙嘉业表示，中、美肯定不是夫妻关系，也不是敌对关系，而是“假朋友”关系。
“清华大学国际问题研究所”常务副所长阎学通教授，也曾经论断，当前的中、美关系就是“假朋友”关系。
美国中文杂志《中国事务》总编辑伍凡：“中、美是什么关系，因为时好时坏，经济关系这么样的密切，政治上有交往，军事上有的时候又会发生一些冲突和摩擦。美国人的说法比较文明一点，非友非敌，既不是敌人也不是朋友。中国这位教授讲假朋友，是中共想的，我跟你本来就是玩假的，那是中共的心里。从美国的政界各方面讲，我还是愿意跟你（中共）做朋友啦，但是你（中共）不愿意跟我做，把我当作假朋友，那我也没有办法。”
今年11月，中国大陆以及海外的中文社交媒体出现了一部影片《较量无声》，据了解，这部影片是由中共最权威的五大部门合力制作完成，其中包括中共“国防大学”，内容是中、美之间在意识形态、社会制度、政权合法性等战线上，展开的无处不在、无可回避的终极较量。而被外界视为足以体现当前中、美双方，真实“关系状态”的影片。
石实：“中共为了转移压力，它也不敢把美国视为真正的敌人，不敢和美国真正打一仗，军事方面它本身军力上就差很多，你要真打起来的话，中共那么多官员在美国开的账户，它还要不要呀，曝光的话，那个政权马上就会垮，它只不过是为了凝聚国内民族主义的那些东西，维护它的统治，延长它的统治。”
但是美国中文杂志《中国事务》总编辑伍凡，他个人比较倾向于两国之间是“非敌非友”的关系。他认为，中、美双方每天要面对，要挣钱，因此如果单纯从经济利益(好友)关系、或政治利益(敌人)关系出发，都是讲不通的。

What is the Sino-U.S. Relation,
a Married Couple or False Friends?
ANCHOR:
The 24th session of the U.S.-China Joint Commission on
Commerce and Trade (JCCT) took place on Dec. 19 in Beijing.
After a heightened tension on the Air Defense Identification
Zone in East China Sea followed by a narrowly averted
collision between a Chinese naval vessel and a U.S. warship
in the South China Sea,
how will the two sides define the Sino-U.S. relation?
It is an issue of international concern.
The following is our report.
Reporter :
The two day JCCT (Joint Commission on
Commerce and Trade) is co-chaired by
the U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker,
U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman, and
the Communist regime Vice Premier Wang Yang.
The JCCT was established in 1983 as a forum for
high-level dialogue on bilateral trade issues and as
a vehicle for promoting commercial relations.
In the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue (S&ED)
Joint Opening Session in July 2013, Wang Yang described
the U.S-China relationship being like a married couple.
There are fights and disagreement, but one must enhance
mutual understanding and building trust.
Wang Yang: We cannot have a divorce the way Wendi and
Rupert Murdoch just had, for that, it would be
too big a price to pay.
However, this married couple relationship has attracted
netizens´ ridicule and parody.
It is also said that Wang Yang was criticized by senior officials
upon his return to China.
Shi Shi, a Chinese affair expert: I think it is of mutual
benefit and dependent on the Sino-U.S. relationship.
It is to the benefit of the Communist regime to maintain its
ruling, and to the benefit of the US economy, which relies
on trading to China.
This is the basic need of the U.S. to treat China as a friend.
China expert Shi Shi says, that all the taxes and money
collected by the regime are converted to trading with the
Western countries to keep them silent on domestic
issues such as human rights.
An article written by Sun Jiaye, published in Hong Kong’s
newspaper, Ming Pao, indicated that the Sino-U.S.
relationship is a case of being “false friends,” not the
so-called case of being a married couple or hostile.
Professor of Institute of International Relations at
Tsinghua University, Yan Xuetong, has also argued that
the current Sino-U.S. relation is a false friends relationship.
Chris Wu, China Affairs magazine editor-in-chief:
The Sino-U.S. relationship is good and bad at times.
They share close trade relations, but also have conflicting
views in politics and military.
The U.S. has put it in a relatively civilized way, not as
an enemy nor a friend.
As for this so-called false friend, it´s what the
Communist regime believes.
As to the Americans, they´d like to be friends with the
Communist regime, but it´s up to the regime.
In November, the online release of the purported documentary,
“Silent Contest", was jointly produced by five institutes
including the Chinese military ‘s National Defense University.
It describes the competition between the U.S. and the
Communist regime in ideology, social system
and regime legitimacy.
It was commented as a film to truly reflect on
the Sino-U.S. relation.
Shi Shi: To divert the pressure, the Communist regime would
not dare to engage the U.S. as the real enemy for a fight.
The military capacity is different.
Should they really engage in a battle, what´s going to happen
to all the accounts in the U.S. banks?
Once it´s exposed, the regime will collapse.
To maintain and continue its ruling,
they have to manipulate domestic nationalism.
China Affairs magazine editor Chris Wu, however, prefers
the non-enemy non-friend Sino-U.S. relation.
He believes that both sides are facing the issue of economy.
Merely speaking of friendship in trading, or enemy in politics,
is not going to work.
