"这实在荒唐，"罗思义表示，中国与西方的经济结构有着显著差异。然而，西方却据此得出一个荒谬至极的结论："一定是中国的模式出了问题"。 今年的【问诊2026中国经济】专题，观察者网将聚焦"十五五"开局年的各种机遇和挑战。作为专题的开篇，人大金融研究院高级研究员罗思义首先为我们分 析了，中国经济当下正面临的复杂的外部环境。 罗思义说，西方那些人，无非是被傲慢蒙蔽了双眼，他们笃信"我们是西方人，所以我们必然正确。因此，若中国与我们有所不同，那错处必定在中国。我 们甚至无需审视自身逻辑是否成立，不必核查事实，更不用去正视'中国增长5%、我们仅增长2%'的现实。我们是西方国家，所以中国肯定是错的。" "荒谬的是，有些中国人说，我们必须照搬西方模式。他们不明白，中国做得比西方好，增长也比西方快。当然，中国是不一样的。可是，如果中国真的采 用西方式经济结构，那就等于是在自废武功。"罗思义说。 罗思义作为一位西方左翼人士，既因严谨的经济学研究而著称，同时也由于在欧洲、俄罗斯和中国数十年从政和学术研究经历，对地缘政治也有独到的见 解。 谈及中美经济这一话题时，罗思义直言，美国将在经济竞争中输给中国，"这么说吧，美国试图让中国进 ...

Core Viewpoint - The current global order is fragmented and unlikely to be restored, necessitating a new world order where the Global South plays a significant role [1][4]. Group 1: Global South's Role - The Global South, comprising developing countries, is essential in shaping a new international order, moving beyond the narrow focus on US-China relations [1][2]. - A multipolar world is emerging, where power is distributed among various nations rather than being dominated by a single or dual superpower [2][5]. Group 2: Challenges and Cooperation - Many global challenges, such as pandemics and climate change, are transnational and cannot be solved by any single nation, highlighting the need for global cooperation [6][7]. - Effective global governance structures are necessary to address these challenges, but current multilateral frameworks are in decline [6][7].

Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes that Australia must learn to listen and stop blaming China for issues in the Pacific region, as this mindset has harmed Australia's national interests [1]. Group 1: Australia-China Relations - Australian media's portrayal of the Australia-China relationship oscillates between understatement and exaggeration, which may mislead the public about the challenges in the Pacific [2]. - The narrative that China's influence in the Pacific is solely due to its actions overlooks the fact that Beijing meets the actual needs of Pacific nations, such as infrastructure development and educational support [2].

Core Viewpoint - The recent events in Venezuela, including the capture of President Maduro by U.S. forces, signify a shift in U.S. foreign policy, indicating a move towards a more aggressive stance in its "backyard" rather than a genuine acceptance of a multipolar world [4][5][21]. Group 1: U.S. Foreign Policy Shift - The U.S. has acknowledged the long-term nature of great power competition and the decentralization of global power in its new National Security Strategy, but this does not imply humility [8][21]. - The concept of a "Western Hemisphere security fortress" suggests a more aggressive approach to maintaining control over Latin America, viewing it as an extension of U.S. territory [10][12]. - The "Trump Corollary" to the Monroe Doctrine indicates that any deviation from U.S. influence in Latin America is seen as a direct threat to U.S. security [9][10]. Group 2: Hybrid Warfare Strategy - The U.S. has employed a hybrid warfare strategy against Venezuela, combining military, economic, and psychological tactics to undermine the Maduro regime [14][15][16]. - This strategy includes cutting off Venezuela's financial channels, spreading disinformation, and criminalizing political issues to justify military actions [18][19]. - The swift recognition of opposition leaders as "transitional presidents" after Maduro's capture demonstrates the effectiveness of the U.S. in executing its proxy war strategy [20].
