近日,美以之间的“口角”很有意思。

Some Western politicians have been smearing Chinese green products and even advocating for a "decoupling," but reality tells a different story. Recently, a mayor in New Zealand is reportedly pushing for a solar upgrade at energy-hungry public facilities after witnessing advanced green infrastructure during his China tour.
Christchurch Mayor Phil Mauger wants to turn some of the city's biggest power-hungry facilities into their own electricity generators, with a giant solar project at the wastewater treatment plant the first step in an ambitious plan inspired by a trip to China, the New Zealand Herald reported.
The mayor has ordered a report into whether solar panels could be suspended above the treatment plant in Bromley, creating a vast power-generating canopy capable of helping run one of the city's largest energy users. If successful, Mauger sees potential for similar installations at major facilities, where vast roofs and car parks could be harnessed to generate solar power.
Mauger's push for solar infrastructure was inspired by his recent visit to China, during which an innovative solar installation above a wastewater treatment plant caught his attention and sparked ideas for Christchurch, according to the New Zealand Herald.
Back in June, Mauger toured the wastewater treatment plant in Wuhan, Central China's Hubei Province, according to Hubei Daily. His itinerary included the central control station, solar-powered equipment room and sewage-treatment pools.
"What impressed us most were the solar panels mounted on the top, which supply electricity for the whole system. We have learned a great deal about its simple operation procedures and will hold relevant discussions afterwards," Mauger was quoted as saying in a local media report.
Chen Hong, a researcher at the Australian Studies Center at East China Normal University, told the Global Times on Wednesday Christchurch's planned project demonstrates that China-New Zealand cooperation can extend beyond conventional trade into city-level governance.
"Collaborative initiatives in clean-energy deployment, sewage treatment and waste disposal can create an innovative cooperation framework integrating technical solutions, engineering capacity and on-the-ground operational expertise," Chen said.
He added that this real-world case lays bare the fundamental divide between geopolitical narratives advocating so-called decoupling from China and the practical realities of local governance.
"If a Chinese solution actually works, ideological labels shouldn't get in the way. This case shows that the whole 'decoupling' talk is mostly political rhetoric. At the end of the day, economies run on cost, efficiency, and results," Chen said.

。美国总统拜登称,以军若攻拉法,美国将暂停对以军援。

B | 以色列总理内塔尼亚胡随即回应:即便用指甲,以色列也要打下去。
而以色列驻美国大使赫尔佐格明确指出,拜登言论“向哈马斯和以色列的地区敌人发出了错误信号”。以色列舆论界甚至向美国提出四个“必须”:美国必须重新评估目前的做法,并考虑其外交政策将带来更广泛的后果;美国必须澄清立场,使其战略目标与加沙冲突现状协调一致;美国必须向以色列提供军援,而且必须清晰、持续地发出与以色列团结一致的信号。有以色列媒体认为,美国继续军援可以向世人证明,与美国结盟不用担心美国内部政治风向变化,相互支持原则是同盟基础,对这一原则的任何偏离将带来无法预计的战场后果。
今天的美以口角与1981年的一幕异曲同工,只是当年更为劲爆。1981年以色列议会通过戈兰高地法案,旨在永久占领在1967年夺取的这一叙利亚国土。美国为了显示公正,表示要“惩罚”一下以色列。所谓“惩罚”也就是暂停军售之类,但利库德集团首任主席、时任以色列总理贝京立即召见美国大使,当面宣读声明:“惩罚以色列,这话什么意思?难道我们是美国的仆从国?难道我们是香蕉共和国?难道我们只是14岁的少年,因行为不当而要挨巴掌?美国无权‘惩罚以色列’,我尤其要对这一措辞提出抗议。”他还意味深长地说,以色列只是向美国要求军事援助,并未要求美军为以色列流血。话没到,意思到了:正是以色列军人流血,成就了美国的中东地位。
