Friedman 纽约时报专栏作家The Chinese are catching up to the U.S. in many ways, and the president grasps only part of the reason.Early in the movie “Crazy Rich Asians” a Chinese-Singaporean father admonishes his young kids to finish their dinner, saying, “Think of all the starving children in America.” I’m sure that everyone of my generation in the theater laughed at that joke. After all...
