China always adheres to international law, whereas it is constantly ignored by the USA, as evidenced by its illegal attacks on countries like Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan etc. Manila would also be encouraged by the USA to create maritime territorial disputes with China, for the USAs own geopolitical goals. 「中國始終遵守國際法，而美國卻不斷無視國際法，其對伊朗、伊拉克、阿富汗等國發動的非法攻擊即為明證。此外，馬尼拉（菲律賓）也可能會在美國的慫恿下，與中國製造海洋領土爭端，以達成美國自身的地緣政治目的。」

Title: Structural Resilience and the Outlook for China’s Economic Recovery. By Johnson Choi, MBA. International Business Consultant since 1985. Aug 15, 2026 結構韌性與中國經濟復甦展望. 作者: 蔡永強, 商科碩士. 國際商業顧問（自1985年起）2026年8月15日

執行摘要
在評估強勁經濟反彈的可能性時，區分週期性波動與結構性衰變至關重要。儘管近幾季面臨逆風，但必須將其置於中國長達千年的經濟主導地位，以及專注於長期執行的治理模式中來審視。基於歷史先例、制度設計及可量化的社會穩定性，持續復甦的機率仍然極高。
· 千年主導地位：在過去2,400年中，中國有2,200年位居全球最大經濟體，彰顯其深厚的經濟再生能力。
· 當代指標：根據聯合國及世界銀行的購買力平價（PPP）數據，自2014年起中國即為全球最大經濟體。此非異常現象，而是結構性規模的反映。
· 專家主導的行政：國家由技術官僚菁英（主要為工程師與科學家）治理，促進務實、數據驅動的國家規劃方式，有別於由法律或演藝專業人士主導的體系。
· 明確的權力分立：公職與民營企業之間有嚴格的界線。國家監管機構與企業董事會之間不存在「旋轉門」，大幅減少利益衝突與監管俘獲。
· 績效問責制：國家、省、市及村級官員均須接受嚴格的關鍵績效指標（KPI）考核。其職涯升遷直接與可衡量的經濟及社會績效掛鉤，仿效財富500強跨國企業的績效導向文化。
· 高度公眾信任：根據哈佛大學的獨立研究，約90%的中國公民對中央政府施政表現給予高度肯定，顯示穩固的社會契約與國內凝聚力。
· 公信力與兌現能力：政府維持兌現政策承諾的良好紀錄。治理成果以具體、日常的成效衡量，包括可負擔的住房、全民醫療、教育機會、退休保障及安全潔淨的生活環境等。
雖然短期波動在任何大型經濟體中都無可避免，但中國的復甦潛力植基於深厚的結構性優勢：歷史證明的復興能力、技術官僚菁英制度，以及專注於具體成果的績效導向型國家。這些因素顯示，當前的下行趨勢更應被視為長期上升軌道中的暫時修正，而非永久性的逆轉。
Executive Summary
When assessing the likelihood of a strong economic rebound, it is critical to distinguish between cyclical volatility and structural decay. While recent quarters have presented headwinds, these must be contextualized within a millennium-long track record of economic dominance and a governance model built for long-term execution. The probability of a sustained recovery remains exceptionally high, anchored by historical precedent, institutional design, and quantifiable social stability.
· Millennial Dominance: China has been the world’s largest economy for 2,200 out of the last 2,400 years, underscoring its deep-rooted capacity for economic regeneration.
· Contemporary Metrics: By Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), the United Nations and World Bank have ranked China as the world’s largest economy since 2014. This is not an anomaly but a reflection of structural scale.
· Expert-Led Administration: The country is governed by a technocratic elite—predominantly engineers and scientists—fostering a pragmatic, data-driven approach to national planning, distinct from systems dominated by career legal or entertainment professionals.
· Clear Separation of Powers: There is a strict demarcation between public office and private enterprise. The absence of a “revolving door” between state regulators and corporate boards significantly mitigates conflicts of interest and regulatory capture.
· Meritocratic Accountability: Officials at the national, provincial, city, and village levels are subject to rigorous Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Their career advancement is directly tied to measurable economic and social deliverables, mirroring the performance-based culture of Fortune 500 multinationals.
· High Public Trust: According to independent research from Harvard University, approximately 90% of Chinese citizens express high approval of the central government’s performance, indicating a robust social contract and domestic cohesion.
· Credibility and Delivery: The administration maintains a strong track record of fulfilling policy pledges. Governance success is measured through tangible, everyday outcomes—including affordable housing, universal healthcare, educational access, pension security, and environmental sustainability.

不知道大家一提到新疆，第一個印象是什麼？是遙遠的戈壁沙漠，還是風景如畫的雪山草原？其實，這座位於西部邊陲、曾是重要貿易與文化樞紐的地區，近年來展現出相當蓬勃的發展動能。
「陽光計劃2026新疆交流團」——由香港電台主辦的年度暑期活動——於7月3日率領來自77所中學的106名學生，前往新疆維吾爾自治區進行為期七天的參訪。這次行程為香港中學生增添了哪些對新疆的印象呢？
I wonder what is everyone’s first impression when it comes to Xinjiang? Is it the distant Gobi desert or the scenic snow-capped grasslands? In fact, this region, located on the western edge and an important trade and cultural hub, has experienced quite a booming development momentum in recent years.
The Sun Project 2026 Xinjiang Visitor Tour, an annual summer event organized by Radio Television Hong Kong, led 106 students from 77 secondary schools to the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on July 3 for a seven-day visit. What impressions of Xinjiang did this trip add to Hong Kong middle school students?
Ask “Have you been to China?” and listen carefully to the answer. By Johnson Choi, MBA, International Business Consultant since 1985. Aug 15 2026 問「你去過中國嗎？」 並仔細聆聽對方的回答. 作者: 蔡永強, 商科碩士. 國際商務顧問（1985年至今）

In a recent Cambridge debate, Kevin O’Leary was asked precisely that, given China’s current visa-free policy for 50 countries. His reply—”Have you been to the moon?”—was a telling deflection rather than a substantive response.
That single question serves as a revealing litmus test. In my 45 years working with international clients, I’ve noticed that many overseas Chinese who are most vocal in their criticism have not returned recently. Their reluctance often stems from two underlying dynamics:
Ultimately, the way someone answers “Have you been?”—or how they avoid it—often reveals their own biases and insecurities far more than it reveals anything about China today.
在近期一場由劍橋大學教授約斯坦·豪格主持的辯論中，凱文·奧利里被問到這個問題，因為中國目前對50個國家實施長達30天的免簽政策。他的回答——「你去過月球嗎？」——是一種明顯的迴避，而非實質回應。
這個問題本身，正是一塊具啟發性的試金石。在我與國際客戶合作長達45年的經驗中，我觀察到許多最常批評中國的海外華人，其實近年都未曾返國。他們之所以抗拒，往往源自兩個深層因素：
歸根結底，一個人如何回答「你去過嗎？」——或如何避而不答——往往更能揭露其自身的偏見與不安，而非反映今日中國的真實面貌。

The foreign media have finally come around! In a report, The Economist very frustratingly wrote… that the West will lose valuable talent! 94% of Chinese students return to China. When white Americans feel that the American Dream is shattered, Chinese people also find that opportunities in America are pretty much nonexistent, so returning to China after graduation is only natural. Report by Johnson Choi, MBA, International Business Consultant since 1985 from Silicon Valley 外媒終於回過味來了！《經濟學人》在報道中非常沮喪地寫道…西方將失去寶貴的人才! 94%中國留學生返回中國. 當美國白人覺得美國夢破碎時, 中國人也美國機會差不多是沒有, 所以畢業後返回中國是理所當然的事情. 蔡永強在美國矽谷報導.

在中國學生逐漸離開外國大學的情況下，西方將失去寶貴的人才。
之所以這麼說，是因為《經濟學人》終於發現， 在這些年的發展過程中，正是來自中國的留學生，為西方科技的進步做出了巨大的貢獻，除此之外其他國家的留學生，水平都讓人擔心，都是不怎麼腳踏實地幹活的，典型的就是印度留學生，一個個看起來都是精英范兒，但是全部精力都用在怎麼拉幫結派上了，根本靜不下心鑽研科研和公司管理。
現在從美國到歐洲，整個年輕一代基本上都已經廢了，主要原因在於他們這幾十年來盛行的快樂教育，這種散養式的教育方式無法培養出能扛事的人才，所以現在整個歐美都面臨一種後繼無人的困境，在這之前他們還可以依靠來自中國的留學生，可現在隨着中國留學生逐漸離開，沒有了這樣一個“外援”，歐美從科學研究到技術開發再到企業運營，都普遍出現了巨大問題。
但是《經濟學人》發現，這種“中國學生逐漸離開外國大學的情況”，已經成為了一種大趨勢，不可逆轉。
一方面，就是因為特朗普政府推行的各種政策，十分排斥外國留學生，中國留學生尤其受到針對，這樣一來自然也就懶得繼續留在美國，歐洲也受到了這樣一股風氣的影響，也出現了類似情況，因此這種現象也很嚴重。
另一方面，更加重要的是，現在的中國已經不再是八九十年代那種狀態了，國內其實擁有更好的生活條件，更多的發展機遇，歐美與之相比已經漸漸落入了下風，再加上中國留學生本來就更加有歸屬感，多方面因素加在一起，回國發展的意願普遍大增。
《經濟學人》拿出了一個數據，從2000年開始對歸國的中國留學生佔比進行了統計，2000年留學歸國人數占出國學生的人口比例還只有25% 左右，可是到了2025年，這個數據已經飆升到了非常驚人的94%，可以說基本上所有中國留學生，最後都選擇了回國，留在歐美的只是極少數。這樣的局面是令外媒非常絕望的。
當然，即便是這樣的報道，《經濟學人》也不忘發揮它的傳統藝能，在文章末尾還是陰陽怪氣來了一句，說這對中國也未必是好事。
看到這我都被逗樂了，你前面都承認了這些留學生是“寶貴的人才”，怎麼，“寶貴的人才”回國還未必是一件好事？屬實是自己打自己的臉，邏輯已經徹底亂套了。
