巴基斯坦学者：中国人民至上的抗疫措施值得称赞 西方虚假指责充满讽刺******
中国日报网1月4日电日前，巴基斯坦人类命运共同体研究中心执行主任哈立德·泰穆尔·阿克拉姆为《中国日报》撰文，文中写道，通过对中国努力和创新性医疗举措的详细分析，可以看出在抗击新冠疫情的斗争中，中国政府不遗余力地维护了人民生命安全和健康。
新冠疫情扰乱了全球各地经济体的社会经济结构，凸显了医疗辅助人员和和资源的重要性。即使在这种情况下，中国也是少数几个保持经济健康增长的国家之一，并帮助其他国家保持发展，为他们提供新冠病毒疫苗和医疗援助，以遏制新冠病毒的传播。
阿克拉姆表示中国政府富有远见的领导力保护了中国人民免受新冠病毒最严重的影响，为此，中国实施了严格且必要的限制措施，开展更有针对性的卫生防疫。中国政府在综合评估病毒变异、疫情形势和中国防控基础等因素后，放宽了疫情防控措施。
然而，自疫情开始以来，西方媒体一直声称中国的防疫政策在遏制病毒方面的成功是有限的。一些西方国家在中国放宽限制后对中国展开了敌意宣传，此举充满了讽刺性，因为此前他们曾表示中国没有理由继续严格的限制。
中国在近三年的抗击疫情行动中，优先保护老人和儿童，扩大疫苗接种范围，采取一切必要的病毒预防措施。更重要的是，中国的抗疫政策仍然是为了在促进社会经济发展的同时，尽可能减少病例数，实施科学、有针对性的疫情防控措施。这样的政策拯救了宝贵的生命，帮助生活在相对较短的时间内恢复正常。
在抗击疫情的过程中，中国帮助许多国家稳定其经济，保护人民免受病毒侵害。由于中国强有力的政策和落实，中国持续为世界提供货物和服务，包括许多国家急需的抗击疫情的商品。因此，西方国家发动反华宣传的努力注定要失败。
文中阿克拉姆进一步提到，在过去近三年里，中国的抗疫政策和预防措施帮助降低了国内的感染风险，这表明严格的防控政策在控制病毒方面是有效的。简而言之，中国一直在加强医疗资源，动员各级医疗机构妥善应对新冠疫情，确保感染病毒的人得到妥善治疗。
中国政府充分认识到这些挑战，并一直在为保护中国人民免受病毒侵害而不懈努力。因此，任何针对中国的指责，都让我们对西方国家对病毒采取的所谓预防措施、维护经济稳定提出质疑。因此，西方国家不应该指责中国，而是应该与中国合作，共同创造一个没有新冠疫情的世界。
对中国的虚假指控和敌对行为不会影响中国构建全球纽带。相反，它们会暴露出不利于全球和平与安全的力量。
中新网评：美国众议长选举“连续剧”暴露美式民主痼疾******
中新网北京1月9日电(蒋鲤)在15轮投票表决后，美国众议院议长选举这场“连续剧”终于落下帷幕，众议院共和党领袖凯文•麦卡锡最终成功当选第55任美国众议院议长。这是美国国会过去164年来耗时最久的一次议长选举记录，将美国“对抗式民主”的弊端暴露无遗。
资料图：美国众议院共和党领袖麦卡锡。中新社记者 沙晗汀 摄由于两党对立加剧、党派内斗、利益分配不均等因素，众议长选举陷入一场拉锯战。在此次众议长竞选中，美国民主党议员继续抱团，多轮投票中，一票不投麦卡锡，共和党右翼“强硬派”领头的约20人小团体也拒绝投票麦卡锡。
麦卡锡的当选之路一波三折，除了本人的“政治投机派”角色在国会不受欢迎外，与共和党内部政治分歧关系密切。
一方面，共和党党内反对者认为，麦卡锡对民主党态度过于软弱，无力对抗民主党控制的参议院和拜登政府，另一方面，因为共和党的多数优势微弱，党内一些影响力较小的派系的政治力量则被放大，有利于他们巩固自己的选票。
此外，党内反对者也认为，自己的选票没有换取更多利益，希望以此作为筹码换取麦卡锡更大的让步，比如让他们获得众议院重要委员会中的职务。
作为仅次于美国总统、副总统的政坛三号人物，众议院议长通常由众议院多数党领袖担任，选举几乎没有悬念。然而，麦卡锡此次为当选，不得不做出多个关键让步，其中可能包括恢复一项罢黜议长动议机制，使得众议长的权力被削弱，难以掌控众议院。
美国有线电视新闻网CNN称，麦卡锡在这场不合时宜的政治勒索中作出让步，这种绥靖政策只会让极端主义势力更加强大。
这场引发全世界围观的尴尬选举暴露出美国政治存在严重的对立和分化。在权力博弈思维的裹挟下，党派利益凌驾于国家和人民利益之上，美国两党相互拆台，陷入“为反对而反对”的无脑对垒。而即便是一党内，也会因为利益分配问题产生不同的小派系，相互对抗，选票变成了谋利益的工具。
从国会山骚乱到打破记历史记录的15轮众议长选举，“对抗式民主”让美国政治陷入瓶颈，长期对抗势必会让政客们丧失客观公正的判断能力，其政治阶层是否有能力治理国家也会引发质疑。
两党之争和党派内斗进一步放大了美国政治体制弊病，美国所谓的“民主”形象，让全世界大跌眼镜。鼓吹以选民利益为先的美式选举，变成了政客们利益置换的游戏，进一步彰显出美国“民主政治”日渐失能，不断极化的党争已使美国政治制度陷入死循环。
House speaker election reveals deep-rooted problems in U.S. democracy
(ECNS) -- The Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was elected as the 55th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 ballots. As the most grueling House speaker election in the past 164 years, the election has highlighted the defects of the country’s "confrontational democracy".
The election once reached a stalemate due to intense partisan strife, inner-party struggle among the Republicans, uneven distribution of interests, and more. Democratic Party members forged a close alliance, refusing to vote for McCarthy, while about 20 Republicans also declined to cast ballots for the GOP leader.
Except for his unpopular role as a "political speculator" in Congress, McCarthy’s hard-won election can be attributed to turmoil within the Republican Party.
On the one hand, opponents in the Republican Party believe that the GOP leader's attitude toward the Democrats is too weak to confront the Senate controlled by Democrats and the Biden administration.
On the other hand, the political power of some less influential factions in the Republican Party has been amplified due to the Party’s weak majority advantage in the House of Representatives, which is conducive to consolidating their ticket warehouses.
Meanwhile, these opponents believe that their votes failed to win them more benefits, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip for McCarthy's further concessions, such as getting them positions in important House Committees.
As the third political figure after the President and Vice President of the U.S., the speaker, by tradition, is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives.
But McCarthy has made many concessions in order to bring the ultra conservatives along, involving what’s known as the “motion to vacate,” a mechanism by which members can force a vote to depose the speaker. The reported concessions will empower individual members at the expense of McCarthy’s sway as speaker.
CNN thought the concessions he made during this unseemly political shakedown would only make the extremist faction more powerful.
This embarrassing election, which has drawn global attention, exposed the serious opposition and polarization in American politics. Both Democrats and Republicans put their interests before that of the country and its people, attacking and opposing each other irrationally.
Besides, different factions arise within a single party and confront each other because of the distribution of interests. Votes have become a tool to win more benefits.
From Capitol riots to the House Speaker election with record-breaking ballots, "confrontational democracy" has become a bottleneck of American politics. Long-term confrontation will surely impede politicians to think objectively and fairly while their capacity of governing the country will also raise doubts among the public.
Both parties’ struggle and infighting among the Republicans have further amplified the defects of the American political system, with its "democratic" image shocking the world.
The U.S.-style election, which advocates putting voters' interests first, has become a game of interest exchange among politicians. In addition, it further demonstrates the malfunction of American "democratic politics" and the constantly polarized party struggle that has trapped the American political system into an infinite cycle.
