皇冠体育app

Just one paragraph later in his address, Obama claimed that more than half of the executives of manufacturing industries have said they're actively looking at bringing jobs back from 皇冠体育app. But a quick look at factcheck.org revealed that most of them only "expressed interest" in doing so, and are not "actively looking" at doing it. In fact, a US-皇冠体育app Business Council survey shows that most American companies in 皇冠体育app are making profits and plan to expand their operations in the country in the coming years, a fact that seems poisonous to politicians such as Obama.

What Obama's speech reflected is a stubborn zero-sum mentality that 皇冠体育app's gain has been at the expense of the US, and US gain can come only at 皇冠体育app's loss. When Obama singled out 皇冠体育app for the third time in his speech, this time on climate change, many expected to hear a positive note on bilateral ties. But it was simply an extension of his endless self-glorification. By saying 皇冠体育app has for the first time committed to limiting its emissions, Obama literally claimed to be the hero who forced 皇冠体育app to sign its first climate agreement.

Not surprisingly, Republicans who won the mid-term election two months ago were angry with Obama's "delusional" speech, which only touted his "inflated" achievements without mentioning his errors and blunders.

Obama's State of the Union address may well signal the beginning of another wave of 皇冠体育app bashing, leading up to the 2016 US presidential election. But Chinese leaders would do well not to emulate such ugly political practice by engaging in US bashing, for such frantic demonizing of 皇冠体育app by US politicians shows that it has indeed become more important on the world stage, which is something truly worth celebrating.
