The international image of the United States

The international image of the United States
At the end of the year in 2008, eight well-known global press associations conducted a survey to find "the international image of the United States," and the results showed that from the beginning of the 21st century, the image world-wide of the United States has been deteriorating. And the survey was determined by the majority of the United States allies which enjoy similar political systems, ideologies and values. 75% of French say that since Bush became president, they began to see the United States "is not pleasing to the eye". Canada, Switzerland and Japan the only United States allies in Asia, also have the above-mentioned viewpoints.. In the United States, there are more than 80% of people not very satisfied with the status of the United States. An up-to-date Georgetown University study shows that in the United States at home and abroad, the decision-making ability and competitiveness are being questioned. After the 9.11 incident, the United States feel the need to make use of its power to change the world, but the Americans is no longer optimistic to change the world now. Because the war in Iraq and Afghanistan is too expensive! Plus the enormous military costs each year, caused the United States into an unprecedented financial and economic difficulties, it is impossible for the U.S. to change the world by force now! What the United States should consider to do now is how to adopt a peaceful policy to improve the deteriorating international image! In view of this, some of my previous suggestions in my blogs could be useful for the U.S. relevant authorities to refer too.

美国国际形象

2008年岁末，8家著名的全球性报纸联合作了一项名为“美国国际形象”的调查，结果显示，从21世纪开始，世界对美国的看法一直在恶化。在接受调查的人群中，大部分还是美国的盟友，享有与之相似的政治制度、意识形态及价值观。75%的法国人说自从希希当上总统，他们就开始看美国“不顺眼”，加拿大、瑞士以及美国在亚洲的唯一盟友日本，持上述观点的人群分别为77%、86%和62%。在美国国内，则有超过80%的人对美国的现状十分不满，美国乔治城大学最新的研究显示，在美国国内外，决策能力和竞争力都在受到质疑。9.11事件之后，美国觉得要利用自己的强大来改造世界，然而现在，美国人要改造世界的乐观主义不再那么高涨了，在伊拉克和阿富汗战争所付出的代价太昂贵了！加上每年的庞大军事费用，使美国在经济上陷入了前所未有的困境，要以武力改变世界，恐怕已经心有余而力不足了！美国现在要做的事情应该是如何以和平政策，改善恶化的国际形象？而我此前所写博客里的一些建议，也许对此有所帮助，很值得有关当局加以参考
