《彭博》今天发了一篇简短报道：
王沪宁的《美国反对美国》在国内抄到$2500美元一本
（以下为・机器翻译）
值得注意的是，最近中国对绝版书《美国对抗美国（America Against America）》的需求激增，一些复制品已经开始在网上古董市场上出现，价格为$2500美元。
［下图］“ America Against America”在【孔夫子旧书网】出售，这是一个古董在线市场。

该书之所以受欢迎，原因之一是其作者王沪宁现在是中国权力最大的决策机构，七人政治局常委之一。文章写于1988年对美国的一次学术访问中，王在该文中预测，美国社会的分裂将削弱其竞争力。
在上周美国国会大厦的混乱之后，这个论点在北京引起了更多的关注。正如中国人民大学重阳金融研究所（Chonyang Institute for Financial Studies）执行主任王文所解释的那样，中国担心的是，谈判伙伴的不稳定意味着更大的风险协议将被打破。
本周还强调了北京可能不急于启动贸易谈判的另一个原因：中国的事情进展顺利。这种冠状病毒在很大程度上得到了控制，经济也在增长，这两点在西方很多国家是不能说的。
的确，当国家主席习近平本周向省级领导人发表讲话时，他显得非常乐观。习认为中国面临的机遇远远超过了挑战。“世界正在经历百年未见的深刻变化，但时间和形势对我们有利，”他说。
当乔 · 拜登（Joe Biden）下周就任总统时，他将面临一个比以往任何时候都更加分裂的双边关系，以及一个对自己的决心更加自信的中国。这对贸易战的迅速结束来说是个不好的预兆。 6park.com

Just as notable has been a recent surge in demand in China for an out-of-print book titled “America Against America.” Some copies have begun appearing on an online marketplace for antiques priced at $2,500. 6park.com

Among the reasons for the book’s popularity is that its author, Wang Huning, is now a member of the seven-man Politburo Standing Committee, China’s most-powerful decision-making body. Written during an academic visit to the U.S. in 1988, Wang predicts in it that fissures in American society will sap its competitiveness. 6park.com
It’s an argument that’s attracting more attention in Beijing after last week’s chaos at the U.S. Capitol. As explained by Wang Wen, executive dean of Renmin University’s Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies, the concern for China is that instability in negotiating partners means a greater risk agreements will be broken. 6park.com
This week also highlighted another reason why Beijing may be in no rush to jumpstart trade negotiations: Things in China are going well. The coronavirus is largely under control and the economy is growing, two things that cannot be said for much of the West. 6park.com
Indeed when President Xi Jinping delivered a speech to provincial leaders this week, he was notably upbeat. Xi argued that China's challenges were outnumbered by the opportunities ahead. “The world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century, but time and the situation are in our favor,” he said. 6park.com
When Joe Biden takes office as president next week, he’ll be confronted with a bilateral relationship that is more splintered than ever and a China that is more confident in its resolve. That augurs poorly for a quick end to the trade war. 6park.com
