Axios：川普政府将对中国发起大规模舆论攻势
（By Jonathan Swan，Axios，2018-9-24）
根据川普政府的两位参与敏感的内部讨论会的消息人士透露，川普政府计划发起一场“政府范围的”针对中国的大型攻击。这两位未获授权与媒体讨论该计划的消息人士告诉我，这项工作预料将在未来几周内推出。
消息人士说：针对中国的攻击计划既有言论也具有实质性，由“政府部门”参与，包括白宫（由国家安全委员会高级官员领导）、财政部、商务部和国防部。一位白宫官员告诉我，“我们不仅把俄罗斯视为坏蛋”，坏蛋 “是俄罗斯和中国”。
白宫计划公布有关中国对美国公共和私营部门的敌对行动的新信息，并采取行动。
一位政府官员告诉我，政府官员将宣布中国在网络攻击、干预选举和工业战争（例如知识产权盗窃）方面进行的“恶意活动”。
消息人士说，美国政府已经整理了大量数据，以支持其对中国的指控， “我们将公布中国人如何渗透美国，以及我们正在采取的应对行动。”
消息人士还说，此一行动的幕后“推动力来自国家安全部门”， “网络盗窃问题更频繁地出现在总统的每日简报会上”。
政府官员没有解释为什么政府现在采取这一行动。多年来，中国一直是贸易和网络方面的侵略者，川普政府已经开始与中国进行贸易战。同时，川普对习近平主席保持着友善的言辞，希望他在一些问题上与美国合作。川普对这种言辞的支持程度尚不清楚。据一位熟悉该计划的消息人士称，他对此开了绿灯。川普很可能继续对习近平采取正面的态度来维护他们之间的关系，而把最激烈的言辞交给纳瓦罗这样的中国问题鹰派。

The Trump administration's secret anti-China plans

The Trump administration is planning to launch a major, "administration-wide," broadside against China, according to two sources briefed on the sensitive internal discussions. These sources, who weren't authorized to discuss the plans with the media, told me the effort is expected to launch in the next few weeks.
What we're hearing: The broadside against China — which is planned to be both rhetorical and substantive — will be "administration-wide," including the White House (led by senior officials on the National Security Council), Treasury, Commerce and Defense. "We're not just going to let Russia be the bogeyman," one White House official told me. "It's Russia and China."
The White House plans to unveil new information about China's hostile actions against America's public and private sectors, and to act on it.
Administration officials will call out China for its "malign activity" in cyberattacks, election interference and industrial warfare (e.g., intellectual property theft), an administration source told me.
The administration has marshaled tons of data to support its charges against China. "We are going to show how the Chinese have infiltrated the U.S. and what we are doing to counter it," the source said.
Behind the scenes: "The push is coming from the national security apparatus," the source added. "Cyber theft has been appearing more often in the PDBs [President's Daily Brief]."
The unknowns: Neither administration official explained why the administration is pursuing this now. China has been an aggressor on trade and cyber issues for years, and the Trump administration has started a trade war with the country. At the same time, Trump has maintained cheery rhetoric toward President Xi Jinping in hopes of cooperating on some issues.
The extent to which Trump will lead this rhetorical push isn’t clear. But he's green lit it, according to a source familiar with the planning.
There's a good chance Trump will keep saying positive things about Xi to protect their relationship, delegating the hottest rhetoric to China hawks like Peter Navarro.
