‘Chaotic’ Trump gives China’s Xi Jinping ‘advantage’ in global relations: ex-Australian PM

A former Australian prime minster said the Trump administration’s treatment of long-time allies was providing an opportunity for China, in remarks that came shortly before the US president delivered a personal rebuff.
Malcolm Turnbull, who led Australia from 2015 until 2018, said the world is seeing a more “undiluted” version of Donald Trump in his second term in office. Such behaviour would be viewed as an “advantage” for China’s President Xi Jinping in international relations over the next four years.

“President Xi will aim to be the exact opposite of Trump,” Turnbull said in a Bloomberg interview on Monday. “Where Trump is chaotic, he will be consistent. Where Trump is rude and abusive, he’ll be respectful. Where Trump is erratic, he will be consistent.”

Through such an approach, Turnbull said, there would be countries that look at “China on the one hand, and Trump on the other” and would “find China a more attractive partner.”

Turnbull led Australia for part of Trump’s first term in office, and had a sometimes fractious relationship with the US president.
Shortly after the interview, Trump posted on social media that Turnbull “never understood what was going on in China, nor did he have the capacity to do so.”

華郵:為進入中國市場 臉書曾擬僱人審查內容 | Meta | 言論審查 | 扎克伯格

【新唐人北京時間2025年03月11日訊】近日,《華盛頓郵報》獨家披露,社交媒體巨頭Meta在十年前曾為了打入中國市場,不惜開發言論審查系統和改變他的隱私權政策等,以迎合中共當局對言論自由的打壓。 《華盛頓郵報》(The Washington Post)上週日(3月9日)獨家報導,曾經在Meta的中國政策團隊工作的韋恩威廉斯(Sarah Wynn-Williams)指控,為了打入利潤豐厚的中國市場,Meta曾表態願意配合讓中共監督境內的社群內容和壓制異見。 根據去年4月提交給美國證券交易委員會(Securities and Exchange Commission)的78頁控訴書,Meta執行長扎克伯格(Mark Zuckerberg)於2014年組建「中國團隊」,以開發中國版本的臉書(Facebook)。 當時,稱為臉書的Meta,在2015年為中國開發審查系統,同意僱用至少300名審查員,並計劃任命一位「總編」,掌握刪除內容的權力,在「社會動亂」期間還可以關閉整個網站。 根據擬議協議,一家中國私募股權公司將負責審查和決定,中國用戶與外國遊客發布的內容是否「合法」。 另外,為了中共政府的利益,Meta也考慮改變隱私政策,包括同意削弱香港用戶的隱私權。 不過,控訴書指出,當被問及進軍中國市場的努力時,Meta的高管一再向投資者和美國監管機構搪塞。 而Meta發言人史東(Andy Stone) 在一份聲明中表示,公司有意在中國發展已 「不是祕密」。 2019年,當川普政府與中共開打貿易戰後,Meta放棄了進軍中國的野心。如今川普再次執政,Meta的目標是從美國對中共的強硬立場中獲益。 扎克伯格在今年會議上表示,如果TikTok在美國被禁止,將有利於Meta。他也在1月表示,將與川普新政府合作,反擊各國政府對美國公司的審查。 新唐人電視台記者郭約希美國報導 本文網址: https://www.ntdtv.com/b5/2025/03/10/a103966041.html
