In Poland during Russian occupation a primary school girl was told by her school to write an essay. The title was "Why do I love the Soviet Union?"
Uncertain about the answer the girl asked her parents, "Mom, Dad ... why do I love the Comunist Party?"
The adults eyes widened in disbelief.
"Are you crazy?" cried her mother.
"Who could ever love those thieves, those criminals? Everybody hates them!"
The father sat up hastily from the chair fuming like a stove and growled, "What is this rubbish? They are murderers and liars, they are the oppressors occupying our land, the whole Poland hate those communists asswipes."
Distressed, the girl tried asking to several other adults but the answer didn’t change much.
But she couldn’t go back school empty handed so at the end she wrote:
"I love the Soviet Union because no one else does."

[時事英文] 美國要求72小時內關閉陸駐休士頓總領館
★★★★★★★★★★★★
《紐約時報》報導:
The United States ordered China to close its diplomatic consulate in Houston, the Chinese foreign ministry said on Wednesday, dealing another blow to the rapidly deteriorating relations between the two countries.
1. order…to v. 吩咐...;命令;指示...
2. diplomatic consulate 外交領事館
3. the foreign ministry外交部
4. deal a blow to sth/sb 使(計劃或希望)破滅;使受挫,使失敗
5. deteriorating relations 惡化中的關係
中國外交部週三宣布,美國命令中國關閉休士頓領事館,兩國之間迅速惡化的關係再遭打擊。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
In the hours after the Trump administration notified the Chinese of its decision, smoke was seen billowing from a courtyard inside the consulate as employees dumped what appeared to be documents into flaming barrels, according to a video posted by KPRC-TV, a local television station.
6. billow 波浪般起伏,洶湧向前(這裡指煙霧升起)
7. flaming barrels 燃燒的(垃圾)桶
8. according to 根據
根據當地電視台KPRC-TV發布的一段影片,在川普政府將這一舉措通知中方數小時後,領事館員工將似乎是文件的東西倒入燃燒的垃圾桶內,煙霧從領館院內升起。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
The closure in Houston was the latest effort by the Trump administration to tighten the reins on Chinese diplomats, journalists, scholars and others in the United States. Restrictions have included Cold-War-like travel rules for diplomats and requiring several Chinese state news organizations to register as diplomatic entities. The administration is also considering a ban on travel to the United States by members of the Communist Party and their families, a move that would affect 270 million people.
9. closure(n.) 關閉
10. the latest effort 最新的行動
11. tighten the reins on 對…加強控制、約束
12. cold-war like travel rules 冷戰式的旅行規定
13. require…to v. 規定、要求

關閉休士頓領事館是川普政府收緊對在美中國外交官、記者、學者等約束的最新行動,其他還包括冷戰式的針對外交官員的旅行規定,以及命令數家中國新聞機構註冊為外國實體。美國政府如今還在考慮對中國共產黨黨員及其家屬實施旅行限制,這一舉措將會影響2.7億人。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Closing a consulate is a serious matter, but it is not, unprecedented in times of diplomatic tensions.
16. a serious matter 事關重大
17. not unprecedented 並非沒有先例
18. in times of... 在…時期
19. diplomatic tensions 外交緊張
關閉領事館事關重大,但涉及外交緊張關係時期並非沒有先例。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
In 2017, the Trump administration ordered Russia to close its consulate in San Francisco, along with two annexes near New York and Washington, in retaliation for Russian restrictions on the number of American diplomats in Moscow. Those moves stemmed from the furor over Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, the fallout from which is still felt, despite Mr. Trump’s attempted outreach to the Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin.
20. close its consulate 關閉其領事館
21. annex(n.) 附屬建築,附加建築
22. in retaliation for 作為…的報復
23. American diplomats 美國外交官
24. stem from sth 源自於…,由…造成的
25. furor(n.) 轟動 (這裡指風波)
26. presidential election總統大選
27. fallout (n.) 不良影響,惡果
2017年,川普政府下令讓俄羅斯關閉駐舊金山領事館及另外兩個紐約及華盛頓附近的附屬建築,報復俄羅斯對駐莫斯科的美國外交官人員數量設限。這些做法源自俄羅斯干預2016年大選的風波,儘管川普試圖向俄羅斯總統弗拉基米爾·普丁示好,但該事件的後果影響至今。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
The effect of the closure on relations — and travel — remained uncertain. Consulates principally process visas for travelers visiting China; the Houston consulate handled those for the southern states, from Texas to Florida. Travel between the two countries has been severely limited in any case because of the coronavirus pandemic.
28. remain uncertain 仍不清晰,未明
29. process visas 辦理簽證
30. travel between the two countries 兩國間的往來
31. severely limited 嚴重受限
32. in any case 無論如何
33. the coronavirus pandemic 新冠大流行
尚不清楚領事館關閉對兩國關係及人們出行的影響。領事館主要為訪問中國的旅客辦理簽證,休士頓領事館負責辦理從得克薩斯州到佛羅里達州的南部各州的簽證。由於新冠大流行,兩國間的出行往來無論如何都已嚴重受限。

Exchange for Support (Lee Yee)
There was one other major world event on Jul 1, apart from the promulgation of the National Security Law for Hong Kong. A referendum was held in Russia on the revision of the country’s Constitution.
In the Newscast on the night before last, CCTV broadcast a key feature about the telephone dialogue between Xi Jinping and Russian President Putin. Putin expressed firm support from Russia for China's efforts to maintain national security in Hong Kong. Xi mentioned the Russian constitutional amendment, endorsed by a majority vote in a referendum, which will allow Putin’s term as the president to last until 2036. Xi reaffirmed China’s firm support for Russia's commitment to a development direction that is appropriate for the nation.
Not a word was uttered by China on Russia’s celebration of its 160-year occupation of Vladivostok. Instead, the compliments on Putin’s uninterrupted re-election were dished out in exchange for Russia’s support for the National Security Law.
Although there are 53 countries on the United Nations Human Rights Commission (and reportedly 20 more) that support Hong Kong National Security Law, once all the names of these countries are unfolded, it is not hard to spot that none of them are countries that would likely attract Chinese nor Hong Kong people to invest, study, or live in. There is not a single great power amongst them. However, though opposition to the law has only been voiced out by 27 countries, all of them are influential with significant leverage on world affairs. Of course, among them the most adamant is the United States, which has withdrawn from the Human Rights Commission. Now that Russia is at last joining the Chinese bandwagon, the situation looks a little less awkward for China.
On July 1, the referendum on the constitutional amendments in Russia drew to a close. 78% of the voters supported the amendments, the most important one of which is the "removal of the upper limit of the presidential term in the ‘re-election’ clause”. That is to say, all the presidential terms before the amendment takes effect will be revoked. Everything will be back to zero. Putin's term of office will start all over again. According to the new constitution, Putin can be re-elected as the president until 2036. He will have stayed in the highest power for the longest in Russian history, even surpassing the reign of Peter the Great.
Like Xi Jinping, who forced through the National Security Law for Hong Kong, Putin did not receive any blessings from other major international powers for his feat. There was no strong opposition because after all it went through a referendum. The United States and the European Union, however, were skeptical about the voting process, questioning whether there was coercion of voters, or repeated voting.
Russia's deletion of the presidential re-election regulations is analogous to China's deletion of the presidential re-election regulations in the year before last. With both world powers ruled by lifetime leaders, concerns about such a situation have been raised in international public opinion.
Despite all the twists and turns throughout history, in China as well other countries, everything boiled down to power struggles that basically stemmed from succession schemes amongst the most powerful, which in turn came with a lifetime tenure amongst top leaders. A lifetime tenure for the most powerful led to absolute power that bred absolute corruption, which is the root cause of all political complexities in human society.
All the struggles in the royal courts originated from the inheritance of power. The potential heirs, not the sons, of an emperor were the focuses. There was no place for normal family intimacies amongst sons, daughters, siblings, wives and concubines. Family relationships were built on associations with the potential heirs. For the past 70 years in the Soviet Union, the severe suppression of the people by the dictatorship, and all the brutal struggles have all been due to the inheritance of power at the highest level. During Mao Zedong’s rule, every single one of the never ending political movements of class struggles could be traced back to the inheritance of power at the top. Ordinary people were the victims as a result.
After millennia in the dark ages, it was not until 1776 when the United States became independent that the problem of inheritance of power at the highest level was basically solved. Finally, people could vote to authorize the succession of power in a legal manner, without bloodshed and contention. A system was established to ensure the separation of the three powers, a multi-party system, freedom of news reporting, speech, religion, and association, etc. as checks and balances of the highest power so as to prevent absolute corruption that came with absolute power.
In 1800, there were only three democratic countries in the world. By 2015, the number of countries authorized by the peoples’ votes increased to 130. According to Churchill, ‘democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.’ In all those that have been tried, plebs were inevitably victimized in the power struggles.
Deng Xiaoping might also have understood that power inheritance is the root cause of all political complexities. That was why he laid down the system for naming the heir for the generation after the immediate next. This system achieved a certain period of social stability. What is the impact of abandoning this approach? Putting China aside, what we saw in Hong Kong was the changes in the period from the Causeway Bay Bookstore incident to the implementation of the Hong Kong version of National Security Law.
