李嘉诚向美国贝莱德财团出售海外港口所引发的舆论风波仍在持续发酵，近日，又有最新消息传来，长和集团已经开始想方设法的"变换手法"，以求继续推 进与美国财团交易港口。那他们的具体动作是怎样的呢？根据目前曝出来消息，长和集团是准备将售卖的43个港口一分为二，一部分是41个相对不敏感的港 口，另一部分是2个相对敏感的港口。前者卖给加拿大，后者卖给美国的贝莱德公司，其目的很明显就是想以此绕过国家审查。只能说，李嘉诚现在是真的 铁了心要一条道走到黑了。 话说回来，即便现在李嘉诚向美国霸权"秒跪"，难道就能换来安宁吗？显然是不可能的。依照美国的霸权行事风格，你越是妥协屈服于美国的霸权淫威，那 么最后的结果就只会进一步遭到美国的"收割"和打压，继而进一步的对美方妥协，直到自身利益被美国"剥夺"完了为止，当自身失去了利用价值后，美国就 会一脚将你踢开。在这之前，无数的实例早已证明了这一点。总而言之一句话，没有脱离国家利益的资本安全，也没有凌驾于主权之上的商业逻辑。何去何 从，长和应当作出明智的抉择。 之所以这件事会引起舆论的高度关注，主要就是因为该事件的时间点，恰好处在美国特朗普政府多次强调要"收回"巴拿马运河的特殊背景下，也 ...
