何为美国的道德领导权？拜登外交战略的基础、构想和起源

拜登要重建美国的领导权，该领导权是建立在道德而非霸权之上的。这个构想和中国儒家的王道思想根本上是一样的。所以，拜登当选后，中美之争才算刚刚开始，双方竞争的理论基础都是道德。

与美国保守主义的道德起源于宗教不同，美国进步主义的道德是超越宗教的世俗化道德，是西方文明更高等级的进化模式，接近于中国的儒家文明。所以，中国只有复兴自己传统的儒家王道来对抗，否则必然输掉这场竞争。

拜登对美国道德领导权的构想包括了多方面的政策。尤其重要的是关于构建民主联盟作为世界领导核心集体的战略。该联盟将在实际操作中取代联合国这个废物，补充北约文攻不足和盟友不广的缺陷。其标志就是拜登在选举期间承诺的2021年全球民主峰会。以下是其政纲英文原版中的相关内容：

Restore our Moral Leadership

Having taken these essential steps to reinforce the democratic foundation of our country and inspire action in others, President Biden will organize and host a global Summit for Democracy to renew the spirit and shared purpose of the nations of the Free World.

During his first year in office, President Biden will bring together the world’s democracies to strengthen our democratic institutions, honestly confront the challenge of nations that are backsliding, and forge a common agenda to address threats to our common values.

The Summit will prioritize results by galvanizing significant new country commitments in three areas: (1) fighting corruption; (2) defending against authoritarianism, including election security; (3) advancing human rights in their own nations and abroad.

The Summit will include civil society organizations from around the world that stand on the frontlines in defense of our democracies.

The Summit will also issue a Call to Action for the private sector, including technology corporations and social media giants, to make their own commitments, recognizing their responsibilities and their overwhelming interest in preserving open, democratic societies and protecting free speech. For example, technology companies—which benefit from the fruits of democracy—should make concrete pledges for how they can ensure their algorithms and platforms are not empowering the surveillance state, facilitating repression in China and elsewhere, spreading hate, spurring people to violence, and remaining susceptible to misuse.

As an example of the concrete action our world needs, Joe Biden served as a founding member of a Trans-Atlantic Commission on Election Integrity—to fight back against Russia’s attacks on Western democracies. The Commission asked politicians across Europe to sign a pledge committing to transparency in campaign finance and to reject the use of fabricated or hacked material. Now that he is a candidate for office, Biden has signed that pledge and is calling on every person running for president to do the same.

要完整理解上述的美国道德领导权，必须理解战后最伟大的美国战略外交家布热津斯基（Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzeziński ）的思想。他的外交理论几乎完美地诠释了儒家德政和信仰哲学化对社会和谐与世界和平的决定性意义。一个美国人，在不懂得儒家文明的情况下，能把美国危机的认识和构建和谐世界的规划提升到接近于儒家王道的高度，实在是一个奇迹。这是西方外交理论的巅峰，远在基辛格和亨廷顿之上。

拜登的外交思想就是源自布热津斯基的理论。2017年，拜登还获得了The Center for Strategic and International Studies 的年度布热津斯基奖。在获奖演讲中，拜登强调了: “America’s ability to lead the world does not only depend on the example of our power but the power of our example. […] The United States has earned the respect of the world when we’ve led with our values.”

看看该奖的简介，就很清楚其目标就是推动道德领导权。

Zbigniew Brzezinski Annual Prize and Lecture：

Among the historic contributions of Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski to U.S. foreign policy were his insights on geostrategy – the unique interaction of history, geography, and strategy – and on the complex relationship between power and principle. The Zbigniew Brzezinski Annual Prize was established to honor his legacy by recognizing and promoting the importance of geostrategic thinking with a transcending moral purpose. It is intended to foster constructive ideas with moral clarity and practical applications for today’s global challenges.

拜登本次竞选口号是：battle for the soul of the nation. 他还在胜选演讲中提出任期内要重建美国的灵魂：restore the soul of America。这完全就是针对川普腐蚀美国灵魂的唯利主义。CNN的黑人主持在拜登胜选之后痛哭流涕，不是作秀，而是他真的痛惜不道德的川普是美国的耻辱，而这样的黑暗时期终于过去了。
