一盤橫跨百年、至今未完的棋

A Century-Long Game Still Being Played

1911 年,清朝崩塌。

空出來的那個位置,倭寇殺入,企圖複製韃子佔位。華夏義士忍辱負重,扭轉乾坤。在大洋彼岸,幸運之神眷顧羅斯福,獲得戰略機遇。

三方在 1937 到 1945 之間下完了這盤棋的關鍵八年。

最終日本被去勢,日不落跌落神壇,美國升上首位。中國被推入五常。

In 1911, the Qing dynasty collapsed.

A seat of power was suddenly left empty.

Japanese militarism moved in, hoping to repeat what earlier conquerors had done centuries before. Chinese resistance endured humiliation, hardship, and near-destruction to reverse the tide. Across the Pacific, fortune handed Franklin Roosevelt and the United States a rare strategic opening.

Between 1937 and 1945, the decisive eight years of that global contest were played out.

In the end, Japan was stripped of its imperial ambitions. The British Empire lost its undisputed throne. The United States rose to the top. China was pushed onto the stage of the world’s major powers.

But the game never truly ended.

如今,這盤棋還在前行

Today, where does America stand?

今天美國站在哪裡?

也許是 1945 年英國的位置。

也許是 1991 年前蘇聯的位置。

美國的出路在哪裡?

Perhaps where Britain stood in 1945.

Perhaps where the Soviet Union stood in 1991.

So what is America’s path forward?

英國當年做了一個選擇:抱緊新一哥,把日不落帝國的榮光,以一種新形式繼續傳承下去。

七十年後,英國還在那裡。沒有失去什麼,只是換了一種方式繼續存在。

但蘇聯變成一盤散沙,互相殘殺。

中國不裝了。

新世界秩序又到了一個關鍵的轉折點。

重頭戲即將上演。

Britain made a choice after the war: it embraced the rising superpower and carried the legacy of its empire forward in a different form.

Seventy years later, Britain is still there. It did not disappear. It simply learned how to continue existing under a new order.

The Soviet Union chose a different road — and collapsed into fragmentation and internal struggle.

China, meanwhile, is no longer pretending.

The world order has once again arrived at a historic turning point.

And the main act is about to begin.
