最有趣的: we cannot lead the world by carring the big stick.
Chase Freeman 谈话要点：
- Listen to people abroad and take their views into account
- Find a basis for cooperation with rising powers
- China's challenge is principally economic, not political or military, yet our response (a military "pivot to Asia") is primarily military, "as if that's all we know how to do"
- We don't have much margin for error due to our economic malaise and the rise of other economic powers, notably China
- We can't afford all of the things we're trying to do around the world, especially militarily
- We need to use our natural advantages to better effect
- We have compromised our own Bill Of Rights in response to 9/11, in the name of security, reducing the attractiveness of our ideas to others around the world in the face of such compromise
- We should aspire to be the best, yet evidence shows we are far from the best in health care, etc.
- Power is more diffused worldwide and the world is more democratic, therefore we can't lead "by carrying the big stick" but need instead to lead more by example, starting with improving our own circumstances at home
- People worldwide have tuned out and turned away from US ideas, due to American military actions and political bluster and the hypocrisy of how we've compromised our founding ideals
- We're in a difficult period and need to recognize and respond to this fact more rapidly
