說得好！若拜登當選，絕不能走「重啟中國」路線，應在上任政府的大方向下，優化美國的反制中國政策。
If he is elected as U.S. president in November, Joe Biden will come under intense pressure to seek a reset in relations with China, of the kind that President Barack Obama once sought to extend to Russia. Yielding to this pressure would be a serious mistake. Despite its excesses and omissions, the Trump administration has done the right thing by beginning to push back against Beijing. Biden should build on what he inherits, keeping the good policies, discarding the bad, and eliminating the ugliness that has marred Donald Trump’s presidency and damaged the nation’s ability to meet its greatest strategic challenge.
Trump deserves credit for presiding over an administration that finally, fully accepted the reality of the challenge posed by China and began to implement some of the policies that will be needed in order to meet it. But Trump’s protectionist, isolationist impulses, corrosive and divisive leadership, and contempt for democratic principles have weakened the nation from within and render him uniquely ill-suited to lead it forward. If he wins, Joe Biden should reject the idea of a reset and pick up where Trump left off.
（試譯） 若拜登11月當選美國總統，他將面臨巨大壓力，要求他尋求重啟與中國的關係，就像奧巴馬總統當年尋求處理與俄羅斯的關係一樣。屈服於這種壓力將是個嚴重的錯誤。儘管特朗普政府有其過激也有不及之處，但它開始反擊北京的做法是正確的。拜登應該在他所繼承的基礎上，保留好的政策，摒棄壞的政策，清除那些玷污特朗普總統任期、和損害國家應對最大戰略挑戰能力的醜惡現象。
特朗普政府終於全面地接受了中國帶來的挑戰的現實，並開始實施一些應對挑戰的政策，這一點值得稱讚。但特朗普的保護主義、孤立主義衝動、腐蝕性和分裂性的領導力，以及對民主原則的蔑視，從內部削弱了這個國家，令他不適合繼續領導這個國家前進。如果他獲勝，拜登應該拒絕重啟的想法，並從特朗普離開的地方開始。
