It is cheering to believe that America won the cold war through “blue jeans and rock’n’roll”, presidential bons mots at the Berlin Wall and other endeavours in open sight. But it was an unelected bureaucrat, George Kennan, who authored the conceptual framing of the conflict. It was another, Paul Nitze, who brought about its militarisation. The decoupling of China from the USSR took years of clandestine planning before President Richard Nixon’s grand gesture in 1972.
如果認(rèn)為，美國(guó)是依靠“藍(lán)色牛仔褲和搖滾樂(lè)”、總統(tǒng)在柏林墻邊的精妙演講和其他世人皆知的努力取得了冷戰(zhàn)的勝利，那很鼓舞人心。但是，這場(chǎng)沖突的概念架構(gòu)，是由一名非選舉產(chǎn)生的官僚喬治?凱南(George Kennan)寫就的。冷戰(zhàn)的軍事化進(jìn)程，是由另一名非選舉產(chǎn)生的官僚保羅?尼采(Paul Nitze)開啟的。在美國(guó)總統(tǒng)理查德?尼克松(Richard Nixon)于1972年的那次的重大舉動(dòng)之前，區(qū)分對(duì)待中國(guó)與蘇聯(lián)一事已經(jīng)秘密計(jì)劃了數(shù)年時(shí)間。
