关于中-加两国早期小麦贸易的两篇(英文)文章

感情化描述历史 == 带着主观动机去远离客观事实

感情化描述特殊年代的国际贸易,不是有思想有理智的行为。
缺乏独立思考精神,这算是最大的洗脑后遗症了吧。

Abstract

Although Canada was a committed member of the western alliance and publically supported Washington, DC's efforts to isolate communist China, Ottawa embarked on large-scale wheat sales to Beijing in the late 1950s in the face of sustained US opposition. Drawing on a broad range of archival records, this paper explores the three main factors that encouraged the Canadian government in this course: growing doubts about the wisdom of isolating communist China; mounting anger at Washington, DC's use of subsidized wheat sales to capture traditional Canadian markets; and a surging sense of Canadian nationalism that sought a distinct role for Canada on the world stage. Clearly, as was so often the case in postwar Canadian foreign economic policy, a narrowly defined national interest easily trumped the ideological pressures of western solidarity.

... sales to China haven been for 25-percent cash at time of shipment, with the balance, plus interest in 18 months. The Chinese have never defaulted on any of their commitments and have indeed actually made prepayments-presumably as and when their financial position has allowed them to do so.

那篇文章的确有煽情的成分。。也看到有说这样做,是为了解脱加拿大农业的困境。而当时加拿大卖麦子给中国,反对声音也很多,从他们的角度,如果要写,也不少文章可以写。

但不管出于什么样的动机,不能掩盖一个事实,就是中国最困难的时候,加拿大卖给了中国救命粮。。

日常生活里,我不会因为自己付了医药费,就不对救自己命的医生心怀感激,懂得感恩,应该不是太高的要求。。

你可以感恩,如果是行为上的,值得赞扬;否则,搁自己家炖鸡汤感动自己也不错。

但是,不要道德绑架, 如果感恩是+10的正能量,道德绑架-10000。

另外,身处北美,你不如号召让白人去感恩原住民/印第安人吧,这个数量和质量可是大N倍了。

国家之间,忘恩负义?挟恩以报?搞笑, 你们是认真的吗.....

嗯,对一个事情当然可以有不同看法,你随便。。

而感恩其实是个人选择,你当然可以不感恩,像你这样选择的当然也不少。。。

不奇怪。。

嗯,与自己主张不同的只能是对立面的,红卫兵和纳粹思维就是这样的简单粗暴,历来如此,见识了~
