俄羅斯官方媒體版本的烏克蘭戰爭

NEIL MACFARQUHAR

在克里姆林宮的版本中，這場戰爭不是關於烏克蘭，而是一場針對俄羅斯的更廣泛的文明戰爭。美國是主要對手，歐洲和北約是其走狗。俄軍的傷亡和西方制裁的代價被掩蓋。

從竄訪到包圍台灣  a sneaky or illicit encounter, not an aboveboard meeting. Chinese military drills circling Taiwan set up a potential standoff.

The Chinese word used in the official statements for “visit” — cuanfang — connotes a sneaky or illicit encounter, not an aboveboard meeting.

竄訪

偷偷摸摸的或非法的相遇，而不是光明正大的會議。

Chinese military drills circling Taiwan set up a potential standoff.

Although much attention has been on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, the real potential for a military showdown comes now that she has left.

China’s military has said it will conduct a series of live-fire drills beginning on Thursday. A post on Chinese state media offered coordinates for six swaths of sea surrounding Taiwan, three of which overlap with areas that Taiwan says are a part of its territorial waters.

Where China Plans Military Drills

Some of the areas are inside what Taiwan says are its territorial waters, and they are closer to Taiwan than similar areas announced during the Taiwan Strait crisis in the mid-1990s.

Ukraine Drives Russian Forces From Snake Island, a Setback for Moscow

The retreat came after sustained Ukrainian attacks, including with newly arrived Western weapons, and could undermine Russia’s control over shipping lanes.

 Yet the American right — and Americans in general — should be paying close attention to how Cameron’s Tories fare in Britain’s election on May 6, and how well they govern if they win. That’s because for all his leftward feints and politically correct gestures, Cameron is campaigning on a vision of government that owes a great deal to the American conservative tradition.
