【文/观察者网 王一】美国国会参议院外交关系委员会的民主党议员们近日用一份长达91页的报告，痛 批特朗普政府的种种保护主义行径。几乎同时，《美国新闻与世界报道》新公布的全球最佳大学排名 中，中国顶尖大学的排名也有所上升。观察者网此前对两件事都进行了深度报道。 美国《时代》周刊7月16日借该报告发文称，在中美竞争日趋激烈之际，特朗普不断攻击本国高等教 育，可能会削弱美国与中国竞争的能力，还把报告中所说的"将全球领导权拱手让给中国"放进了标题。 观察者网国际时政评论员指出，特朗普的这些保护主义行径在全球范围内都遭到了广泛的批评，但因为 现在美国国内的"政治正确"，美国民主党议员批评时竟还不忘搬出中国。而且，这些民主党人心中所想 的"全球领导权"实质是全球霸权，"让"出来中国也不会"收"，它与中国在很多领域"做好自己的事"而实 现的全球领先不是一回事，更与中方提倡的"人类命运共同体"格格不入。但《时代》周刊对美国相关问 题的批评揭露，仍有一定的参考价值。 "美国在撤退，中国在前进" "在我们撤退之际，他们却在扩大影响力。"美参院外交关系委员会主席、民主党人珍妮·沙欣（Jeanne Shaheen）主导的报告中写道， ...
