第二个困惑是演讲并没有证实中国如何干预美国内政。彭斯在演讲中提出了很多所谓中国干涉美国内政的证据,例如中国国际广播电台在美国30多个电台播放对中国友好的节目;在美中国留学生建有联合会;中国试图分化美国商界、地方政府与联邦政府在中美经贸摩擦上的团结等等。但是,彭斯所列举事例带有明显的政治偏见。运用商业渠道在他国投放有利于本国国家形象的宣传片是一种国际惯例,属于软实力宣传的范畴,美国同样试图用“美国之音”等媒体对华宣传。在美中国留学生的结社自由应当得到美国法律的保护和美国政府的接受。而美国商界、地方政府与中国各级政府的互动,多数并非是由中方主动发起,而源于美国地方政府对特朗普极端贸易政策的忧虑。美国的联邦制和选举制度给了地方政府和各种利益集团充分表达其诉求的权利,这种权利是美国之所以成为美国的基石。
The speech also did not specify how China has interfered in US internal affairs. Pence cited a lot of supposed evidence of China's interference, for example China Radio International broadcasting Beijing-friendly programming on over 30 US radio stations, the presence of Chinese Students and Scholars Associations set up by Chinese students in the US, and attempts by China to exploit divisions between businesses and federal- and local-level governments on issues like trade to advance its political influence. But the examples cited by Pence reflect obvious political bias. The use of commercial channels to promote one's own country is an international normal practice. The US, for example, uses voice of America and other forms of media to conduct propaganda in China. The right of Chinese students to freedom of association in the US should be protected by US law and accepted by the US government. And many of the interactions between US businesses and local government and the Chinese government at various levels are not initiated by people in China but are the result of the concerns of local governments in the US over Trump's extreme trade policies. Ultimately, the US federal and electoral system give local governments and various interest groups the right to fully express their desires. This right is a cornerstone of US political life.
