台海观澜：闽台经贸合作基础牢动力足******
中新网福州12月21日电 (记者 龙敏)海峡两岸乡村融合发展试验区在三明市设立，海峡两岸规模最大石化合作项目——福建漳州古雷炼化一体化项目投入商业运营，最具影响力的两岸经济交流合作平台——两岸企业家峰会在厦门市召开年会......进入12月以来，闽台经贸合作好消息连连。
展望未来，涉台专家21日接受中新网记者采访时认为，闽台经贸合作基础牢、动力足。
在两岸交流合作中，福建始终处于前沿，“你中有我、我中有你”的融合发展趋势更加明显。截至目前，福建现有台资企业1.1万多家，累计利用台资项目超2.1万个，实际利用台资310多亿美元。福建社会科学院现代台湾研究所所长苏美祥表示，闽台产业融合迈向全领域全业态发展新格局。
作为大陆最大的海峡两岸农业合作试验区，福建农业利用台资项目数和实际到资规模保持大陆首位；拥有6个国家级台湾农民创业园，数量居大陆首位；最先启动零关税进口台湾农产品的厦门口岸，成为大陆最大的台湾水果集散中心……闽台农业合作走在大陆的前列。
石化领域更是闽台经贸合作基础牢、动力足的鲜明体现。古雷炼化一体化项目由中国石化福建炼油化工有限公司和旭腾投资有限公司各占50%投比合资建设，其中一期工程总投资278亿元(人民币，下同)，主要包括实际加工能力100万吨/年乙烯裂解等9套化工装置，以及配套的公用工程、码头及储运设施等，年产乙烯百万吨。
古雷炼化一体化项目试投产以来运行平稳，目前乙烯单体对台湾销量突破8.5万吨。两岸企业家峰会能源及环保节能产业合作推进小组召集人傅成玉表示，这不仅是海峡两岸企业合作的重大石化项目，也是海峡两岸融合发展的成功实践。
随着古雷炼化一体化项目建设的推进，古雷石化基地成为国家发改委唯一确认的大陆台湾石化产业园区和推动两岸产业融合的试验田，全力打造具有国际竞争力的世界级石化基地。“共同推动古雷二期开花结果”，摆上了两岸企业合作的日程。
福建省委常委、常务副省长郭宁宁表示，希望两岸企业家以此次古雷炼化一体化项目投入商业运营为契机，进一步延伸产业链条，做大做强石化产业，做优古雷石化基地，全方位促进闽台产业融合发展，助力两岸深化各领域交流合作。
2022年以来，福建继续落实“31条措施”“26条措施”“11条措施”“农林22条措施”等惠台举措，积极协助台商台企纾困稳产，支持台胞申请设立个体工商户，创造条件帮助台青实习就业创业……件件实事让台胞台企有感。
尤其是，在全球投资贸易萎缩、新冠肺炎疫情冲击的背景下，闽台经贸合作依旧逆势前行。以大陆唯一对台综合实验区为例，今年前10个月，平潭综合实验区对台湾地区进出口61.3亿元，同比增长7.8%，其中出口53.1亿元，同比增长28.8%。
当下，福建着力推动高质量发展，加快建设现代化产业体系，为台胞台企入闽发展提供了空间和机遇。福建省委书记周祖翼在2022两岸企业家峰会年会上表示，福建将进一步推进闽台产业融合发展，进一步帮助台企开拓更为广阔的市场，进一步为台企在闽投资兴业提供优质服务，加快建设海峡两岸融合发展示范区。(完)
中新网评：美国众议长选举“连续剧”暴露美式民主痼疾******
中新网北京1月9日电(蒋鲤)在15轮投票表决后，美国众议院议长选举这场“连续剧”终于落下帷幕，众议院共和党领袖凯文•麦卡锡最终成功当选第55任美国众议院议长。这是美国国会过去164年来耗时最久的一次议长选举记录，将美国“对抗式民主”的弊端暴露无遗。
资料图：美国众议院共和党领袖麦卡锡。中新社记者 沙晗汀 摄由于两党对立加剧、党派内斗、利益分配不均等因素，众议长选举陷入一场拉锯战。在此次众议长竞选中，美国民主党议员继续抱团，多轮投票中，一票不投麦卡锡，共和党右翼“强硬派”领头的约20人小团体也拒绝投票麦卡锡。
麦卡锡的当选之路一波三折，除了本人的“政治投机派”角色在国会不受欢迎外，与共和党内部政治分歧关系密切。
一方面，共和党党内反对者认为，麦卡锡对民主党态度过于软弱，无力对抗民主党控制的参议院和拜登政府，另一方面，因为共和党的多数优势微弱，党内一些影响力较小的派系的政治力量则被放大，有利于他们巩固自己的选票。
此外，党内反对者也认为，自己的选票没有换取更多利益，希望以此作为筹码换取麦卡锡更大的让步，比如让他们获得众议院重要委员会中的职务。
作为仅次于美国总统、副总统的政坛三号人物，众议院议长通常由众议院多数党领袖担任，选举几乎没有悬念。然而，麦卡锡此次为当选，不得不做出多个关键让步，其中可能包括恢复一项罢黜议长动议机制，使得众议长的权力被削弱，难以掌控众议院。
美国有线电视新闻网CNN称，麦卡锡在这场不合时宜的政治勒索中作出让步，这种绥靖政策只会让极端主义势力更加强大。
这场引发全世界围观的尴尬选举暴露出美国政治存在严重的对立和分化。在权力博弈思维的裹挟下，党派利益凌驾于国家和人民利益之上，美国两党相互拆台，陷入“为反对而反对”的无脑对垒。而即便是一党内，也会因为利益分配问题产生不同的小派系，相互对抗，选票变成了谋利益的工具。
从国会山骚乱到打破记历史记录的15轮众议长选举，“对抗式民主”让美国政治陷入瓶颈，长期对抗势必会让政客们丧失客观公正的判断能力，其政治阶层是否有能力治理国家也会引发质疑。
两党之争和党派内斗进一步放大了美国政治体制弊病，美国所谓的“民主”形象，让全世界大跌眼镜。鼓吹以选民利益为先的美式选举，变成了政客们利益置换的游戏，进一步彰显出美国“民主政治”日渐失能，不断极化的党争已使美国政治制度陷入死循环。
House speaker election reveals deep-rooted problems in U.S. democracy
(ECNS) -- The Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was elected as the 55th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 ballots. As the most grueling House speaker election in the past 164 years, the election has highlighted the defects of the country’s "confrontational democracy".
The election once reached a stalemate due to intense partisan strife, inner-party struggle among the Republicans, uneven distribution of interests, and more. Democratic Party members forged a close alliance, refusing to vote for McCarthy, while about 20 Republicans also declined to cast ballots for the GOP leader.
Except for his unpopular role as a "political speculator" in Congress, McCarthy’s hard-won election can be attributed to turmoil within the Republican Party.
On the one hand, opponents in the Republican Party believe that the GOP leader's attitude toward the Democrats is too weak to confront the Senate controlled by Democrats and the Biden administration.
On the other hand, the political power of some less influential factions in the Republican Party has been amplified due to the Party’s weak majority advantage in the House of Representatives, which is conducive to consolidating their ticket warehouses.
Meanwhile, these opponents believe that their votes failed to win them more benefits, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip for McCarthy's further concessions, such as getting them positions in important House Committees.
As the third political figure after the President and Vice President of the U.S., the speaker, by tradition, is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives.
But McCarthy has made many concessions in order to bring the ultra conservatives along, involving what’s known as the “motion to vacate,” a mechanism by which members can force a vote to depose the speaker. The reported concessions will empower individual members at the expense of McCarthy’s sway as speaker.
CNN thought the concessions he made during this unseemly political shakedown would only make the extremist faction more powerful.
This embarrassing election, which has drawn global attention, exposed the serious opposition and polarization in American politics. Both Democrats and Republicans put their interests before that of the country and its people, attacking and opposing each other irrationally.
Besides, different factions arise within a single party and confront each other because of the distribution of interests. Votes have become a tool to win more benefits.
From Capitol riots to the House Speaker election with record-breaking ballots, "confrontational democracy" has become a bottleneck of American politics. Long-term confrontation will surely impede politicians to think objectively and fairly while their capacity of governing the country will also raise doubts among the public.
Both parties’ struggle and infighting among the Republicans have further amplified the defects of the American political system, with its "democratic" image shocking the world.
The U.S.-style election, which advocates putting voters' interests first, has become a game of interest exchange among politicians. In addition, it further demonstrates the malfunction of American "democratic politics" and the constantly polarized party struggle that has trapped the American political system into an infinite cycle.
