What's Wrong with the CCP as Everyone Is Trying to Influencing Others? 每個國家都試圖影響他國，爲何只批評中共？

These few days I attended quite a few events in Washington which discussed the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s “influence and interfere” in the United States and other countries.

這些天連續參加好幾個華盛頓各智庫開的關於中共浸透和影響力的研討會。

One of the arguments I heard was, “What’s wrong with CCP’s influence operations? Isn’t every country trying to influence other countries? Why do you make such a big deal with CCP’s influence operations?”

據說，很多人說：「哪個國家不都在試圖影響其他國家嗎？爲何單單批評中共呢？」（有的美國專家批評起美國來，比批評起中共來起勁得多。）

Because of the argument, some China experts even felt it was necessary to talk about the United States’ influence operations in other countries first in a apologetic tone, before they went on to talk about CCP’s influence operations.

因爲有這種說法在，有的專家在評論中共的浸透活動時，不得不以道歉的語氣先給自己的發言戴個「帽子」：「當然，世界上所有國家都想影響其他國家，美國也一樣，不過，美國做事是透明的，中共做事不透明……」

For me, we just need to put it this way, “The CCP sends you a package; and I also send you a package. What’s the difference? Inside the CCP’s package are explosive devices and poisons; whilst what I send you are flowers. You tell me what’s the difference.”

要我說啊，那樣去繞，不如這樣去說：他也用快遞送你一個包裹，我也用快遞送你一個包裹，有什麼不一樣啊？

他的包裹中裝的是炸彈，我的包裹中裝的是鮮花。

Does everybody get it?

不就是這個理兒嗎？可惜很多人沒整明白。
