美国华媒：海外庆春延续，中国向世界“报春”******

　　中新网2月1日电 中国民间流传着“正月里来是新年”“不到十五都是年”的说法。眼下中国春节假期已结束，中国人进入了开工第一周，但城市街头的年味儿依旧浓厚。美国《侨报》1月31日刊文说，在海外，以春节为由头的各种庆春活动也仍是“进行时”，刻画出一幅热闹喜庆、其乐融融的春景图。一系列庆春活动奠定了新年开年的好预期，中国春节经济的“开门红”更是为世界经济前景报春。

　　文章介绍了近日欧美国家多项热闹的庆春活动，比如史密森学会美国艺术博物馆举办的“欢乐春节”家庭日活动，在比利时举办的春节游园庙会等。文章还特别提及，今年白宫举行了史上第一个农历新年招待会，邀请400多亚裔人士到白宫共庆新年。张灯结彩，红狮舞动，“很中国”的祝福语“恭喜发财”将气氛烘托到高点。

　　文章表示，在这场蔓延海内外的春节狂欢里，中国人、海外华侨华人、外国人都参与其间，正应了中国的古话“独乐乐不如众乐乐”。从朴素的角度看，对于广大参与庆春的人们来说，春节给他们提供了这样一些“价值”。

　　一是情绪体验。春节本身代表着热闹、欢乐，加上疫情防控“好消息”，人们更有理由庆贺。目前世卫组织判断这波疫情可能已接近“拐点”，中国疫情防控政策优化，借这样一个节庆日放飞心情、享受轻松，海内外人士何乐不为？

　　二是文化体验。春节是一个仪式感很强的节庆日，各种春节元素令人愉悦，背后家庭团圆、万象更新、新春纳福、和睦友好的寓意，与西方家庭诸多价值观不谋而合。生肖兔作为机敏和幸运的象征，也给人们带来积极的心理暗示和美好预期。

　　三是财富体验。根据中国官方发布的数据，今年春节期间，全国出入境人员超287万人次，日均41万人次，较去年春节同期增长120.5%。中国游客出境游整体订单同比增长640%，跨境机票订单增长4倍以上。旅游热、消费热，展现出中国经济的暖意，国际媒体对中国经济复苏的连锁反应充满期待。这些数据和期待，连通着一个个普通人过上更好日子的可能性。

　　春节节庆本身以及春节经济所传递出的暖意，是中国在向世界“报春”。文章最后写道，立春将至，期待更多“报春鸟”飞来，祝福世界满园春。(完)

中新网评：美国众议长选举“连续剧”暴露美式民主痼疾******

　　中新网北京1月9日电(蒋鲤)在15轮投票表决后，美国众议院议长选举这场“连续剧”终于落下帷幕，众议院共和党领袖凯文·麦卡锡最终成功当选第55任美国众议院议长。这是美国国会过去164年来耗时最久的一次议长选举记录，将美国“对抗式民主”的弊端暴露无遗。

　　由于两党对立加剧、党派内斗、利益分配不均等因素，众议长选举陷入一场拉锯战。在此次众议长竞选中，美国民主党议员继续抱团，多轮投票中，一票不投麦卡锡，共和党右翼“强硬派”领头的约20人小团体也拒绝投票麦卡锡。

　　麦卡锡的当选之路一波三折，除了本人的“政治投机派”角色在国会不受欢迎外，与共和党内部政治分歧关系密切。

　　一方面，共和党党内反对者认为，麦卡锡对民主党态度过于软弱，无力对抗民主党控制的参议院和拜登政府，另一方面，因为共和党的多数优势微弱，党内一些影响力较小的派系的政治力量则被放大，有利于他们巩固自己的选票。

　　此外，党内反对者也认为，自己的选票没有换取更多利益，希望以此作为筹码换取麦卡锡更大的让步，比如让他们获得众议院重要委员会中的职务。

　　作为仅次于美国总统、副总统的政坛三号人物，众议院议长通常由众议院多数党领袖担任，选举几乎没有悬念。然而，麦卡锡此次为当选，不得不做出多个关键让步，其中可能包括恢复一项罢黜议长动议机制，使得众议长的权力被削弱，难以掌控众议院。

　　美国有线电视新闻网CNN称，麦卡锡在这场不合时宜的政治勒索中作出让步，这种绥靖政策只会让极端主义势力更加强大。

　　这场引发全世界围观的尴尬选举暴露出美国政治存在严重的对立和分化。在权力博弈思维的裹挟下，党派利益凌驾于国家和人民利益之上，美国两党相互拆台，陷入“为反对而反对”的无脑对垒。而即便是一党内，也会因为利益分配问题产生不同的小派系，相互对抗，选票变成了谋利益的工具。

　　从国会山骚乱到打破记历史记录的15轮众议长选举，“对抗式民主”让美国政治陷入瓶颈，长期对抗势必会让政客们丧失客观公正的判断能力，其政治阶层是否有能力治理国家也会引发质疑。

　　两党之争和党派内斗进一步放大了美国政治体制弊病，美国所谓的“民主”形象，让全世界大跌眼镜。鼓吹以选民利益为先的美式选举，变成了政客们利益置换的游戏，进一步彰显出美国“民主政治”日渐失能，不断极化的党争已使美国政治制度陷入死循环。

　　House speaker election reveals deep-rooted problems in U.S. democracy

　　(ECNS) -- The Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was elected as the 55th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 ballots. As the most grueling House speaker election in the past 164 years, the election has highlighted the defects of the country’s "confrontational democracy".

　　The election once reached a stalemate due to intense partisan strife, inner-party struggle among the Republicans, uneven distribution of interests, and more. Democratic Party members forged a close alliance, refusing to vote for McCarthy, while about 20 Republicans also declined to cast ballots for the GOP leader.

　　Except for his unpopular role as a "political speculator" in Congress, McCarthy’s hard-won election can be attributed to turmoil within the Republican Party.

　　On the one hand, opponents in the Republican Party believe that the GOP leader's attitude toward the Democrats is too weak to confront the Senate controlled by Democrats and the Biden administration.

　　On the other hand, the political power of some less influential factions in the Republican Party has been amplified due to the Party’s weak majority advantage in the House of Representatives, which is conducive to consolidating their ticket warehouses.

　　Meanwhile, these opponents believe that their votes failed to win them more benefits, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip for McCarthy's further concessions, such as getting them positions in important House Committees.

　　As the third political figure after the President and Vice President of the U.S., the speaker, by tradition, is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives.

　　But McCarthy has made many concessions in order to bring the ultra conservatives along, involving what’s known as the “motion to vacate,” a mechanism by which members can force a vote to depose the speaker. The reported concessions will empower individual members at the expense of McCarthy’s sway as speaker.

　　CNN thought the concessions he made during this unseemly political shakedown would only make the extremist faction more powerful.

　　This embarrassing election, which has drawn global attention, exposed the serious opposition and polarization in American politics. Both Democrats and Republicans put their interests before that of the country and its people, attacking and opposing each other irrationally.

　　Besides, different factions arise within a single party and confront each other because of the distribution of interests. Votes have become a tool to win more benefits.

　　From Capitol riots to the House Speaker election with record-breaking ballots, "confrontational democracy" has become a bottleneck of American politics. Long-term confrontation will surely impede politicians to think objectively and fairly while their capacity of governing the country will also raise doubts among the public.

　　Both parties’ struggle and infighting among the Republicans have further amplified the defects of the American political system, with its "democratic" image shocking the world.

　　The U.S.-style election, which advocates putting voters' interests first, has become a game of interest exchange among politicians. In addition, it further demonstrates the malfunction of American "democratic politics" and the constantly polarized party struggle that has trapped the American political system into an infinite cycle.
