●"Russia has all but dropped any pretence of civility with America and Europe; China sticks to the notion of 'win-win relations. Russia arms the Taliban to frustrate America; China seeks to promote a peace deal in Afghanistan."

　　倫敦經濟學人9月8日說：" 俄羅斯跟美國及歐洲已不顧基本的禮貌了，但是中國仍然追求與歐美雙贏。俄羅斯武裝神學士打擊美國，但是中國仍然努力建構阿富汗地和平。"

●The largest Russian military exercises since the cold war were held in southern Siberia in which thousands of Chinese soldiers took part as honored guests.

●"The West should worry ...because the exercises hold a mirror to America's weakened alliances."

　　中俄軍演是一面鏡子，反映了美國與盟國弱化的關係。

●"America appears to be complacent, clinging to the conventional notion that the two giant neighbors will never grow too close" (CPL： a misjudgement of the U.S.)

　　「美國仍然自我感覺良好，深信中俄永不會拉近關係。」(林中斌：美國誤判)
