A mong Western democratic governments, this is a moment of unhappy clarity about China. Their bleak consensus follows years of naivety and wilful self-delusion about the nature of Xi Jinping’s regime. A changed mood—one of shared, durable gloom—was on display at the latest Stockholm China Forum. This is a gathering of American and European officials, scholars and business types that Chaguan has attended, on and off, since 2008 (Chinese diplomats and scholars attend some sessions).
这是西方民主政府，这是对中国不愉快的时刻。他们对习近平政权的性质的天真和故意的自我欺骗是多年来的荒凉共识。在最新的斯德哥尔摩中国论坛上展示了一种变化的心情 - 共享，耐用的忧郁。这是查普（Chaguan）自2008年以来参加的美国和欧洲官员，学者和商业类型的聚会（中国外交官和学者参加了一些会议）。
