美国选举乱象凸显制度弊端 Election game mirrors failure of US democracy

---->source:http://www.anseryan.com/news/1479.html------ The chaotic 2016 presidential election has highlighted the defects in the US election system and the dysfunction of democracy. The email-gate uncovered by the release of the Democratic National Committee emails stunned the world, and showed that the so-called fair selection of candidates was anything but. Meanwhile, whether the outspoken and reckless real-estate mogul Donald Trump wins the race or not, he has irreversibly damaged US democracy already.2016年总统选举乱象已经凸显了美国选举制度的弊端和民主障碍。民主党全国委员会邮件泄露揭开的“邮件门”震惊了全世界，并表明所谓的候选人公平选举只不过是一场幻象。同时，无论口无遮拦、不计后果的房地产大亨唐纳德·特朗普是否赢得竞选，他早就一发不可收拾地损害了美国民主。The email scandal revealed the black box of how party elites manipulate the presidential election, as it showed the party establishment and the Democratic National Committee violated the neutrality principle by working with the Hillary Clinton campaign team to help her clinch the Democratic nomination. For this purpose, they attempted to attack her rival Bernie Sanders’ ethnic identity as a Jew. And they went so far as to plan cyberattacks on the supporters of Sanders. When the scandal was uncovered, the supporters of Sanders were furious but the candidate himself was calm, as if unsurprised by the shenanigans against him.邮件丑闻揭露了党派精英操纵总统选举的黑暗内幕，党派机构和民主党全国委员会违法中立原则，与希拉里阵营勾结以帮助希拉里赢得民主党提名。为了达到目的，他们试图拿桑德斯（希拉里的对手）的犹太人民族身份进行攻击。同时，他们还计划网络攻击桑德斯的支持者。当这一丑闻被曝光，桑德斯的支持者感到十分愤怒，但是他本人却十分镇定，好像对这一针对他的鬼把戏并不感到意外。Meanwhile, the Democratic camp has made great efforts to defame Trump by highlighting his discriminatory words against women, the disabled and minority groups, his past bankruptcies, and his edgy temperament that the Democrats say make him unfit to be the president. Interestingly this is the very image he wants to present to voters.同时，民主党阵营还大力损坏特朗普的名誉，突出强调他对女性、残疾人和少数民族的歧视性言论、曾经的破产经历以及他那暴躁的脾气，民主党人表示，这些都使得他不配当总统。有趣的是，这正是他想要展示给选民们的形象。Second, the de facto two-party system and the winner-takes-all delegates counting system make extreme candidates stand out in the primaries. Therefore, moderate and rational candidates are at a disadvantage.第二，事实上的两党制度以及胜者为王的的代表们掌控着该制度，这使得极端候选人在初选中显得十分耀眼。因此，温和、理性的候选人便处于弱势。Third, democracy had to yield to populism when the party was hijacked by the radical politician. The nomination of Trump clearly showed that GOP was not able to control the election process. Nor could the GOP abandon the radical candidate, rather it had to flow with the populist trend. Thus, democracy has been distorted and does not accurately reflect the people’s will.第三，当激进的政治家夺过党派大权之时，民主不得不让步于民粹主义。特朗普的提名就清楚地表明共和党无法控制选举过程。共和党不能抛弃激进候选人，它不得不跟随民粹主义潮流。因此，民主被损，也无法准确反映出人民的意愿。The 2016 presidential election mirrors failure of US democracy, the US needs political reform.2016年总统选举凸显美国制度弊端，美国需要进行政治改革。

美指责中国南苏丹维和部队抛弃营地当逃兵：你能别再瞎扯了吗？ China denies allegations its peacekeepers abandoned South Sudan posts

---->source:http://www.anseryan.com/news/1468.html------ China’s defense ministry has rejected as malicious speculation allegations by a U.S.-based group that Chinese peacekeepers had abandoned their posts in South Sudan in July instead of protecting civilians.对于总部位于美国的非政府组织，指责中国驻南苏丹维和部队在7月份的维和行动中不作为，放弃驻守营地，未能保护难民安全，中国国防部发言人表示，报告对中国维和部队的指责根本不符合事实，纯属恶意炒作。Chinese troops are part of a United Nations peacekeeping mission in South Sudan, which has been ravaged by conflict between rival forces loyal to the President Salva Kiir and rebel leader Riek Machar.中国部队是联合国南苏丹维和行动的一部分，今年忠于南苏丹总统基尔领导的政府军与反对派领导马沙尔的部队发生大规模冲突，中国部队遭遇严重袭击。The Center For Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC) said in a report published last week said the Chinese peacekeepers abandoned their posts in the South Sudanese capital of Juba on July 11, a day after a rocket-propelled grenade had exploded near a Chinese armored personnel carrier, killing two Chinese soldiers.非政府组织“冲突中的平民”近日发表的报告称，7月11日，中国维和部队放弃了其在南苏丹首都朱巴的驻营地，就在前一天，一枚火箭榴弹在中国维和步兵营内的步战车附近爆炸，造成2名中国士兵死亡。Yang Yujun, a spokesman for China’s Ministry of Defence, said in comments published on the ministry’s official website that the report was malicious speculation. China’s peacekeeping forces carried out the instructions of the U.N. mission in a responsible manner and did its utmost to guarantee the safety of civilians and other peacekeepers.在中国国防部官网上发布的一项声明中，国防部发言人杨宇军表示这份报告纯属恶意炒作。中国维和部队认真负责地执行了联合国南苏丹特派团司令部的指示，竭尽全力保护难民以及其他维和人员的安全。After the recent outbreak of conflict in South Sudan, the Chinese peacekeepers had conducted missions in and near the capital Juba to ensure the safety of UN peacekeepers and civilians, Yang noted. Two Chinese soldiers were killed and five others were injured on July 10 following the escalation of the conflict, Yang added.杨宇军表示，在南苏丹国内爆发冲突后，中国维和部队在首都朱巴以及附近，执行联合国保护维和人员和难民的任务。7月10日，武装冲突加剧后，有两名中国维和士兵牺牲，5名士兵受伤。Chinese peacekeeping officers and soldiers remained at their posts, quickly organizing reinforcements and continuing to implement the mandate of UNMISS while rescuing wounded soldiers, Yang said.杨宇军称，中国维和部队官兵坚守岗位，迅速组织增援，并在救助受伤官兵的同时继续执行联南苏团赋予的各项任务。Currently, the United Nations is investigating the performance of the United Nations peacekeeping force in southern Sudan, and making unwarranted accusations against UN peacekeepers and personnel before the findings have been published is irresponsible.目前，联合国正在对南苏丹冲突期间维和部队表现进行调查，在联合国的调查结果公布以前，任何针对联合国维和行动和维和人员莫须有的指责都是不负责任的。

揭开“神化”美国的经典谣言 Uncover the classic rumors in the United States

---->source:http://www.anseryan.com/news/1437.html------ America is the land of the free, home of the brave the white picket fences, the 2.5 kids in every modern family. Or so we’ve been led to believe.美国，自由的沃土，勇者的家园……屋外环绕着白色尖桩篱笆，屋内奔跑着平均2-3个小孩——典型的“美国现代家庭”图景。而这些都只是我们印象中的美国。We look at some of the ridiculous myths and outright lies that have people entirely misled about the United States. From Jackie Robinson to who really discovered America, these are the true stories about our history我们审视了一些关于美国的荒谬传说及谎言，这些东西误导着人们对美国的看法。从黑人球员Jackie Robinson到航海家哥伦布，我们现在来将谣言逐一击破吧！Myth 1: America Is A Democracy谣言1：美国是个民主国家In the current age, America and democracy are synonymous. Little do most Americans know they don’t actually live in a democracy. America was actually founded as a Constitutional Republic, as stated in the Constitution and the Pledge of Allegiance. In an Economist ranking of the world’s democratic countries in 2006, America didn’t even crack the top 10.当前，“美国”和“民主”似乎已成了同义词。然而绝大部分美国人不知道的是，他们生活的这个国家，并不是个民主国家。美国最初是作为一个宪法共和国而建立的，这一点在《宪法》和《效忠宣誓》中都有体现。在06年《经济学人》进行的一项全球民主国家排名中，美国甚至没有挤进前十。Myth 2: The Founding Fathers Were Christian谣言2：美国是由一群基督徒建立的This is both true and false. A large number of the Founding Fathers were associated with various sects of the Christian church, like Protestantism and Lutheranism. However, many still openly opposed organized religion. Thomas Jefferson practiced Deism, which contends that reason and observation of the natural world are enough to determine the universe has a creator without the need for organized religion.这句话半对半错。美国的开国者之中有一大批从属于基督教会的不同分支，如新教、路德教。然而，也有很多人公然反对有组织的宗教。Thomas Jefferson就信奉自然神教，该教的主张是：自然世界的推理和观察足以说明世界存在着创始者，并不需要通过组织教会来证明这一点。Myth 3: Thanksgiving谣言3：关于感恩节While it’s true that the occasion we now know as Thanksgiving first occurred between Pilgrims and nearby Indians, it originally was three days long and served to salute the annual harvest. (Imagine our modern version of stuffing and turkeys for three days.) For the Pilgrims, Thanksgiving was intended to be a religious holiday of fasting and prayer, but only turned to a feast after the rains came during one such period in 1623.感恩节最初来源于清教徒和印第安人，这点是没错。不过，最初的感恩节足足有3天，是为了用来庆祝本年丰收的（想象一下用现代社会的庆祝方式胡吃海喝三天的情景……）。对于清教徒来说，感恩节是个虔诚的节日，在这段时间里人们禁食和祈祷。不过，1623年的那次感恩节下了场雨，于是节日内容转变成大快朵颐了。Myth 4: The Native Americans were Savages谣言4：原始印第安人都是野蛮人Hollywood has certainly popularized the image of brutes dressed in feathers and buffalo leather, aiming to harm a good-ole tobacco spitting cowboy, but the truth of the matter is a bit more complex.外表粗野，身着羽毛和水牛皮饰，整天和满嘴烟草的牛仔盘旋打斗……这是好莱坞塑造的经典“印第安人”形象。然而真实情况并非如此。In the book A People’s History of the United States, author Howard Zinn quotes Christopher Columbus’s first impressions of the Indians, saying They do not bear arms, and do not know them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorance. They have no iron. Their spears are made of cane. They would make fine servants. With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want.在《美国人民的历史》一书中，作者Howard Zinn引用了哥伦布登上美洲大陆后对印第安人的第一印象，他是这么说的：“他们没有武器，也不知何为武器——我把剑拿给他们看，他们居然用手去抓剑刃，把自己给弄伤了。他们没有铁器。他们的矛是用藤条做的他们可以做不错的仆人我们五十个人就能彻底征服他们，想让他们做什么就做什么。”Myth 5: It’s A Free Country谣言5：这是个自由的国度There is a general belief that we can walk anywhere, rest anywhere or do whatever we need to do to survive. Tell that to the homeless. Although courts struck down laws against vagrancy years ago, sleeping on the streets or in public parks is still illegal, as is hitchhiking, panhandling and other freebies broke people need to survive.人们普遍认为在美国，想去哪儿都可以，想睡哪儿也没人干涉，为了生存什么都能干。流浪汉们可不这么想。即使多年前法庭就已经废除了“流浪罪”，但在街道或公园里睡觉仍然是违法的，同样，搭便车、行乞等流浪汉们用来赖以生存的“免费的东西”，也都是违法的。And there are countless laws and ordinances designed to give police officers probable cause to violate our freedoms. In June 2011, a woman in Rochester, New York was arrested simply for filming a traffic stop from her front lawn, proving that we aren’t free even if we stay in our yards.此外，还有数不清的法规和条例使警察们拥有充足的理由来干预人们的自由。2011年的6月在纽约州的罗切斯特市，一位女士仅仅因为站在自家草坪上拍摄一个停车标记而被捕——这件事证明了我们是不自由的——即使站在自己地盘里，也同样不自由。Myth 6: The Federal Reserve Is U.S. Owned Operated谣言6：美联储是由美国掌控的The Fed conducts the nation’s monetary policy, but faces no regulation from the government aside from the appointment of its President and Board of Governors. Otherwise, the central bank can do what it pleases.美联储管理着全美的货币政策，却完全不受政府约束，只受美联储主席和理事会成员指挥。要不是有这层限制，央行简直可以为所欲为了。Recent proof comes direct from former Chairman Alan Greenspan, who stated point blank that the U.S. Government cannot do anything to influence the Fed’s policy. And, more recently, according to Bloomberg News, the bank refused to disclose the recipients of more than $2 trillion of emergency loans from [the bailout] and the assets the central bank is accepting as collateral.美联储前任主席阿兰-格林斯潘曾直白地点出：美国政府对美联储货币政策的影响力几乎为零。不久前，据彭博新闻社的消息，央行“拒绝公开2万亿美元紧急贷款的接受人名单，这些贷款均来自于保释金及央行持有的担保资产。”

总统也烦恼，历届美国总统丑闻大盘点！ The US Presidential Scandals

---->source:http://www.anseryan.com/news/1423.html------ Andrew Jackson 安德鲁·杰克逊(美国第七任总统：1829-1837年） 1 . Andrew Jacksons Marriage安德鲁·杰克逊的婚姻丑闻Before Andrew Jackson was president, he marrieda woman named Rachel Donelson in 1791. She had previously been married and believed that she was legally divorced. However, after marrying Jackson, Rache lfound out this was not the case. Her first husband charged her with adultery.Jackson would have to wait until 1794 to legally marry Rachel. Even though this happened over thirty years previously, it was used against Jackson in theelection of 1828. Jackson blamed Rachels untimely death two months before hetook office on these personal attacks against him and his wife。在杰克逊当选总统之前，他曾在1791年和一位叫Rachel Donelson的女士结成连理。这位Rachel之前曾有过一段婚姻，但她自己说已经离婚了。然而，事实却并非如此，在嫁给杰克逊之后，Rachel的前夫以通奸罪起诉了Rachel。直到1794年，杰克逊才和Rachel成为合法夫妻。尽管在1828年杰克逊竞选总统时，这件事情已经过去30多年，但它依旧成为了攻讦杰克逊工具。在杰克逊当选总统的前两个月，Rachel就去世了。而Rachel的去世却更是引发了人们对杰克逊和她的人身攻击。 尤里西斯·辛普森·格兰特(美国第18任总统：1869—1877) 2 . Black Friday – 18691869年黑色星期五丑闻Ulysses S. Grants administration was rife with scandal. The first major scandal dealt with speculation in the gold market.Jay Gould and James Fisk attempted to corner the market. They drove up the price of gold but Grant found out and quickly had the Treasury add gold to the economy. This in turn resulted in the lowering of gold prices on Friday, September 24, 1869 which adversely affected all those who had bought gold。格兰特在任期内可以算得上是丑闻缠身。其中，第一个大的丑闻关于他在黄金市场的投机活动。为了垄断市场，Jay Gould 和James Fisk故意提高了黄金的价格，但却不幸被格兰特发现。而格兰特在发现之后，立即命令财政部在市场上投放大量黄金。格兰特的这一行为直接导致1869年9月24号星期五黄金价格的下跌，很多人都因此损失惨重。3 . Credit Mobilier莫比利埃信托公司丑闻The Credit Mobilier company was found to be stealing from the Union Pacific Railroad. However, they tried tocover this up by selling stocks in their company at a large discount to government officials and Congress members including Vice President Schuyler Colfax. When this was discovered, it hurt many reputations including that of Ulysses S. Grants VP。美国莫比利埃信托公司曾被发现从联合太平洋铁路的建设中攫取好处。为了掩饰他们的行为，莫比利埃以极低的价格向包括副总统Schuyler Colfax在内的政府官员和国会议员出售他们的股票。而当这一事件被揭露时，包括格兰特在内的许多人都大受影响。4 . Whiskey Ring威士忌税收丑闻Another scandal that occurred during Grants presidency was the Whiskey Ring. In 1875, it was revealed that many government employees were pocketing whiskey taxes. Grant called for swift punishment but caused further scandal when he moved to protect his personal secretary who had been implicated in the affair。发生在格兰特总统任期内的另一个丑闻是关于威士忌的。1875年，许多政府雇员被发现私自侵吞威士忌税。在事件发生之后，格兰特立即采取了行动，但却因试图掩盖他私人秘书的罪行而饱受诟病。James Garfield 詹姆斯·加菲尔德(美国第二十任总统：1881年03月04日-9月19日) 5 . Star Route Scandal邮政丑闻While not implicating the president himself, James Garfield. had to deal with the Star Route Scandal in 1881 during his six months as president before his assassination. This scandal dealt with corruption in the postal service. Private organizations at the time were handling postal routes out west. They would give postal officials alow bid but when the officials would present these bids to Congress they would ask for higher payments. Obviously, they were profiting from this state of affairs. Garfield dealt with this head on even though many members of his own party were benefiting from the corruption。尽管加菲尔德自身与这件丑闻毫无关系，但他却不得不在任期里处理这桩邮政部门的腐败案，尽管六个月后，他就被暗杀了。当时，为了竞拍西部邮政路线，私人机构往往开始出价很低，然而一旦邮政官员向国会提交他们的竞拍时，他们又会提高要价，并以此获利。加菲尔德处理了这个事件，尽管他政党中很多人都涉及这件腐败案。Grover Cleveland 格罗弗·克利夫兰(美国第22、24任总统：1885—1889，1893—1897)6 . Ma, Ma, Wheres My Pa?寡妇丑闻Grover Cleveland had to deal head on witha scandal while he was running for president in 1884. It was revealed that he had previously had an affair with a widow named Maria C. Halpin who had given birth to a son. She claimed that Cleveland was the father and named him OscarFolsom Cleveland. Cleveland agreed to pay child support and then paid to putthe child in an orphanage when she was no longer fit to raise him. When this issue was brought forth in the campaign and even became a chant Ma, Ma,wheres my Pa? Gone to the White House, ha, ha, ha!, Cleveland was honest about the entire affair. This helped rather than hurt him, and he won the election。1884年，在克利夫兰为总统竞选奔波时，他却不得不分身处理这件丑闻。据说，克利夫兰曾经和一位叫Maria C. Halpin的寡妇厮混过并有了一个孩子。Maria声称克利夫兰就是孩子的亲生父亲，并给孩子取名为奥斯卡·福尔瑟姆·克利夫兰(Oscar Folsom Cleveland)。克利夫兰同意提供孩子的赡养费，并在Maria不再适宜抚养孩子之后，出钱将孩子送到了孤儿院。当克利夫兰竞选时，这件丑闻便被曝光，甚至变成了一首打油诗：“妈妈，我的爸爸在哪里？去白宫问问吧！”然而，克利夫兰对此事件却很坦诚，而他的坦诚也帮助他赢得了选举。Warren G Harding 沃伦·甘梅利尔·哈定(美国第20任总统：19211923) 7 . Teapot Dome蒂波特山丑闻Warren G. Hardings presidency was struckby many scandals. The Teapot Dome scandal was the most significant. In this,Albert Fall, Hardings Secretary of the Interior, sold the right to the oil reserves in Teapot Dome, Wyoming andother locations in exchange for personal profit and cattle. He was eventually caught, convicted and sentenced to jail。哈丁在就任期间也是绯闻缠身，其中蒂波特山丑闻影响最大。哈丁的内政秘书Albert Fall将蒂波特山以及怀俄明州的几个油田钻井权卖给了石油大亨，并以此获利。Albert Fall最终被抓捕归案并身陷囚笼。Richard Nixon 理查德·尼克松(美国第37任总统：1969-1974) 8 . Watergate水门事件Watergate has become synonymous with presidential scandal. In 1972, five men were caught breaking into the Democratic National Headquarters locatedat the Watergate business complex. As the investigation into this，Richard Nixon and his advisors worked to cover-up the crimes. He would have surely been impeached but resigned instead on August 9, 1974.水门事件几乎成为了总统丑闻的代名词。1972年，尼克松竞选班子的五名成员闯入了民主党位于华盛顿水门大厦的全国委员会总部，并因此被捕。随着事件调查的深入，尼克松和他的幕僚们试图掩饰这一行径，但却因此被弹劾，并被迫辞去了总统一职。 Ronald Reagan 罗纳德·威尔逊·里根(美国第40任总统：1981-1989) 9 . Iran-Contra伊朗门事件Several individuals in Ronald Reagans administration were implicated in the Iran-Contra Scandal. Basically,money that had been obtained through selling arms to Iran was given secretly tothe revolutionary Contras in Nicaragua. Other than helping the Contras, the hope was that by selling the weapons to Iran, terrorists would be more willing to give up hostages. This scandal resulted in major Congressional hearings。在里根的任期内，他的几位行政官员被认为与伊朗门事件有牵连。简而言之，伊朗门事件主要指向伊朗兜售武器，并将所得收入秘密转移给尼加拉瓜反抗军。他们以为向伊朗兜售武器可以使这些恐怖分子自动放弃人质。这件丑闻最终导致了国会听证会的召开。Bill Clinton 比尔·克林顿(美国第42届总统：1993-2001) 10 . Monica Lewinsky Affair莱温斯基丑闻Bill Clinton was implicated in a couple of scandals, the most significant for his presidency was the Monica Lewinsky affair. Lewinsky was a White House staffer with whom Clinton had an intimate relationship, or as he laterput it, an improper physical relationship. He had previously denied this while giving a deposition in another case which resulted in a vote to impeach him by the House of Representatives in 1998. TheSenate did not vote to remove him from office but the event did mar his presidency as he joined Andrew Johnson as only the second president to be impeached。克林顿曾被卷入过几件丑闻中，而其中最有名的莫过于他和莫妮卡·莱温斯基的性丑闻。作为白宫的员工，莱温斯基曾和克林顿有过一段亲密关系，或者按照克林顿后来的陈述：“不正当肉体关系”。刚开始，克林顿曾宣誓否认这件事。但1998年，众议院却因此事投票弹劾克林顿。尽管参议院最终没有同意众议院的弹劾，但这件丑闻却成为克林顿任期内的一大污点。克林顿是既安德鲁·约翰逊之后第二个被弹劾的总统。

湄公河大案五年祭：向中国公安致敬！

---->source:http://www.anseryan.com/news/1392.html------ 部分来源：凤凰新闻2011年10月5日，中国两艘商船在湄公河金三角水域遭遇袭击，13名船员全部遇难。当年震惊中外的“湄公河10.5惨案”已经过去五年了。关于这个案子，大家这几天看到的各种新闻视频图片资料以及相关电影也已经不少，就不再多说。今天要说的，是在惨案发生后的这五年间，中国警方所做的工作。杀我公民者虽远必诛，外媒赞中国加强境外执法2012年11月6日，云南省一家地方法院对湄公河惨案的数名主犯进行一审宣判，糯康及其团伙共4人被判死刑，另有两人分别被判死缓和有期徒刑。英国路透社在评论中强调，湄公河案件标志着中国在其边境之外的执法力度开始增强。在社交平台上，美国网民评论处决湄公河惨案罪犯：中国好样的！1、Nice job, China! They executed thugs who killed 13 sailors. What about us? We didn`t do jack squat for the killed ambassador and he NAVY Seals.干得好，中国！他们处决了杀死13名中国水手的恶徒。我们呢？想想我们被杀的利比亚大使和海豹突击队，我们TMD啥也没做。2、Damn you China, you have no human rights, how dare you not spend tens of milli** of dollars of public funds on lawyers, house them for free and given free medical care for 20+ years, exhausted all meanless and useless legal mumble jumble before actually executes them. HOW DARE YOU NOT BE MORE LIKE USA???可恶的中国，你没有人权，你居然敢不花数以千万的公用基金来为他们提供20年的律师服务、免费住宿以及免费医疗？也不在处决他们前，以法律的名义，说一堆没用的废话？你们居然敢越来越不像美国？（这位老兄没有骂中国，只是借此讽刺美国冗长的司法流程以及在已经定罪的囚犯身上耗费过多的纳税人的钱而已）3、Best news I have heard in long time from overseas! You want to stop murder rate in the U.S use their tactics.这是这么长时间以来我所听到的最好的新闻。如果你想阻止美国的谋杀率继续攀升，就应当采用他们的战术。4、U.S should adopt more drones for simply eliminating thugs rather than putting them in jail.美国应该采用更多的无人机去消灭那些恶棍，而不是把他们投进监狱。5、Good, that is what the U.S should be doing, and of course the U.S will never do. Too much taxpayers` dollars are wasted to keep these rubbish rotten in jail.好，这就是美国应该做的，当然却永远不会做的事情。纳税人太多的银子都浪费在这些烂在监狱里的垃圾身上了。6、No lawyers, no appeals, no civil rights groups. Just justice. In some ways I envy China.没有律师，没有上诉，没有民权团体，只有正义。在某些地方，我有些妒忌中国。中老缅泰四国湄公河联合执法在刚刚上映的电影《湄公河行动》中，一开场就提到了在2011年10.5湄公河惨案发生后，在中国有关部门的努力下，中国、老挝、缅甸、泰国四国在北京签署《关于湄公河流域执法安全合作的联合声明》，声明签署当天距离10.5案发生仅仅过去26天。2011年12月10日，中老缅泰湄公河联合巡逻执法首航仪式在云南省西双版纳关累港举行，四国联合巡逻执法正式启动。转眼五年过去了。2016年9月23日，中老缅泰第50次湄公河联合巡逻执法行动圆满结束。截至目前，四国执法部门已成功联合开展执法行动50次，保持每月至少一次的常态化。不要简单的认为一个月一次的行动看起来频率不高，每次行动都只是一系列行动的统称，每次行动都会出动执法人员百人次以上，船只十艘次以上，航程数百公里以上。在金三角重点水域及地段开展水陆联合查缉48次，共检查船只718艘，人员3151人次，货物5.142万余吨，救助商船138艘次，为850余艘商船进行护航，有效维护了湄公河流域的安全稳定。这些数字的背后，是更多惊心动魄的故事。第二次巡航时，巡航编队在会龙河口附近，得知中国船只“盛泰11号”在湄公河上遭遇枪袭，巡航编队成功对该船实施救援，没有人员伤亡。第四次巡航后，由于糯康被执行死刑，糯康的兄弟和他的手下在泰国购买了两枚火箭弹和发射器欲实施报复。中国公安边防水上支队通过情报部门掌握了这一信息，和缅甸方面联系，进行了清剿。还有一次，水上支队通过情报部门得知，糯康残余势力打算把水雷放在江底，在湄公河航道某一地点对编队进行袭击，也被提前处置。每一次联合执法，那看似轻描淡写的“成功处置”，“完成清剿”的背后，是你难以想象的艰险和复杂。随着第50次联合执法的胜利结束，今天的湄公河和金三角流域，已经不再是当年那个令所有过往船只谈之色变的“鬼门关”了。除了四国在湄公河上的联合巡航执法外，在中国公安部的努力下，针对打击毒品源头展开的“平安航道”联合扫毒行动也已经进入第三年。2013年由中国发起建立的中老缅泰“平安航道”联合扫毒行动机制，经过三年多的发展，特别是从去年四国鉴定《“平安航道”联合扫毒行动三年规划（2016-2018）》、邀请柬埔寨、越南两国加入以来，机制已更加成熟、行动更加果断、效果更加突出，有力打击遏制了湄公河流域毒品犯罪活动，维护了整个地区的安全稳定。2013年4月中老缅泰四国成功开展了第一届“平安航道”联合扫毒行动以来，破获了“3.19”、“239”、“207”等一系列有影响力的跨国毒品大案。行动的战果在去年召开的第二届中老缅泰“平安航道”联合扫毒行动高官会议上，泰国国家禁毒委员会秘书长坡蓬通报了2014年行动期间所取得的战果。共抓获犯罪嫌疑人3398名缴获2500万冰毒片剂2万公斤麻醉剂8153公斤咖啡因1万公斤易制毒化学品1556公斤海洛因179公斤鸦片每一个数字的背后，同样是各种难以用文字简单描述的故事。而这样的行动，在中方的努力下，仍在更大力度的开展。自今年9月1日开始，为期三个月的2016年第二阶段“平安航道”联合扫毒行动正式启动，该行动由澜沧江-湄公河沿岸中国、老挝、缅甸、泰国、柬埔寨、越南六个国家统一组织开展。湄公河惨案已经过去五年，但是这五年间，中国公安却已经通过各种难以用文字简单描述的工作让湄公河不再令人闻之色变。禁毒是一项艰苦卓绝的工作，参与这项工作的人，绝大多数都是既不能公开身份，也不能放出照片的，所以他们所做的一切，都注定将是默默无闻的。向中国公安致敬，向那些最可爱最可敬的人致敬！他们所做的一切，他们所付出的一切，就是为了让五年前的湄公河惨案不再重演，让毒品不再污染我们的净土。有句话此刻绝不矫情：你之所以看不见黑暗，是因为有无数勇敢的人把黑暗挡在了你看不见的地方。谨以此缅怀13位遇难的中国船员。
