在刚刚过去的五年中，美国费尽力气来影响中国的行为，但是美国对于北京日渐增长的、坚定而自信的活动——包括经济间谍活动和人工岛建设——的反应大多数是无效的。现在美国的领导者在考虑新的选项——经济制裁。传统观点认为美中经济关系已经“庞大到不可倒下”，因此华盛顿没有什么手段可以用来对付北京。实际上，美国的政策制定者应当现实一些，对中国的广泛制裁不仅不明智，而且不可行。然而，特定的有限的、基于行为的制裁可能能够以可接受的代价改变中国人的行为。

The US has to get over the idea that it can alter chinese behaviour. It doesn't have the power or the means right now and the Chinese are too smart to fall into any trap the US may set up.

美国必须克服“我可以改变中国的行为”这种想法。它现在没有足够的力量或手段，而且中国人太聪明以至于没有落入任何美国可能设立的陷阱。

Looking forward to China boycotting US companies, and just watch Chinese exports to the US disappear.

期待中国抵制美国的公司，然后静静的看着中国对美国的出口消失。（逻辑呢？）

Anyone making statement about Chinese exports to the US disappear is either non-American or a loser to Chinese exports. Chinese exports to the US is consumers/end users driven, the demand of Chinese goods in the US is deep and full spectrum.

任何说中国对美出口消失的人要么不是美国人要么是因中国出口而失败的人，中国的对美出口是消费者（最终用户）驱动的，美国对中国货物的需求是深入的、全局的。

The US is a free trader, but if China sanctions US companies, the US will respond in kind. Looking forward to future trade wars.

美国是自由贸易者，但是如果中国制裁美国企业，美国也会以牙还牙。期待未来的贸易战争。

As neither an American nor a beneficiary of Chinese exports to the USA your sour grape response is within the norm.

您既不是美国人，又不是中国对美出口的获益者，您的酸葡萄式的反应很正常。

民主在中国没用。我们帮助了中国太多次了，每一次中国都是恩将仇报。该强硬起来用武力对付中国了，否则就等着第三次世界大战吧。当我们展示力量的时候，中国肯定会后退。

The truth is China has done very little if anything to harm US national interest. US has a overwhelming advantage in propaganda war. They are able to portray every little dispute into a life and death struggle for survival to the American people. These lie machines also portray US as savior for the world when in fact US is suffering from self induced mania.
This long article only tells us:
1) US is very isolated.
2) US has little options left to sabotage China.
3) Do nothing, let China over take US, and the world will change little.

事实是中国很少伤害美国的国家利益。美国在宣传战中有压倒性的优势，他们能吧任何小的争端描绘成对美国人民生死攸关的斗争。这些谎言机器还把美国描绘成救世主，而事实上美国正陷于自我诱发的狂热。
这篇长文章告诉我们：
1）美国很孤立。
2）美国没有什么手段能破坏中国。
3）啥也不用管，让中国超越美国，世界不会有啥变化。

All the more reasons Chinese will not allow American companies to have a monopoly in China. This little trick can be turn around. China can influence American behavior by targeted economic sanctions.

那样的话，中国将更有理由不让美国企业在中国垄断。所以美国实行经济制裁的话，可能会产生大逆转。中国可以通过定向经济制裁来影响美国的行为。
