总统川普与中国的贸易战结束了，至少暂时，最新的报告显示，中国占了便宜。
不可否认，美国与中国的双边经济关系有着根深蒂固的不平衡衡问题，历届美国政府也
没有成功的让中国应用通常或者外交手段来解决这些问题。川普先生采用了激进的对抗
手段，包括威胁施加关税，或许值得一试，以达到他想要的真实目的。
然而，根据现在报到的美国与中国的停战协议，川普先生看起来已经使用了美国的杠杆
，企图大规模的减少美国对中国3750亿美元的贸易逆差，这其实是一场可以预期得到的
徒劳之举。 他现在同意撤销关税威胁，以换取中国的同等对待，加上让中国购买更多

足球不适合举国体制。比如当年东德的奥运金牌数一数二，但足球比西德可以忽略不计。
足球运动完全没有正确的踢法，也没有可以遵循的成功路线。 足球需要运动员能够在
场上随机应变。
严格训练虽然能提高球员的技能和体力，但足球艺术不是练出来的。
球队成功很大程度靠球星。为什么最伟大的球星都是小矮个没人能理解。
球星不是刻苦训练能产生的，而是需要能自由发挥的成长环境。
巴西，阿根廷，西班牙，葡萄牙这种推崇激情鄙视纪律的国家最适合踢球。
美帝虽然是自由国家，但体育却是强调纪律训练的专制体制，所以美帝足球也很烂。
