最近一种其貌不扬的榴莲，登上了中国城市的水果摊架。其外观酷似外星人的头颅，但是一上架还是吸引了不少市民围观和购买。

二 |     Sidney Powell, one of 18 co-defendants in former President Donald Trump's election interference case in Georgia, has taken a plea deal in which she has agreed to testify in the case.She is pleading guilty to six misdemeanor charges, according to the agreement read in court Thursday. She will get 12 months of probation for each count, as well as a $6,000 fine.As part of the agreement, Powell must "testify truthfully about any co-defendants" involved in the case and "provide all documents to the district attorney's office" relevant to their case against the other co-defendants, according to Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee.Steve Sadow, Trump's lead counsel in the Georgia case, responded to Powell's plea deal by telling ABC News in a statement, "Assuming truthful testimony in the Fulton County case, it will be favorable to my overall defense strategy."Powell's plea comes a day before she was scheduled to go on trial along with co-defendant Kenneth Chesebro.Chesebro, according to sources, last month rejected a similar plea deal with the state, ABC News was first to report yesterday.Regarding Powell's plea deal, former Georgia prosecutor Chris Timmons told ABC News, "From the D.A.'s Office's perspective, it can help them in a number of ways. It focuses the trial to acts that are relevant to Mr. Chesebro. It also means the State's witnesses are facing one cross examination instead of two."Prosecutors accused Powell, a former Trump campaign attorney, of helping tamper with voting machines in Coffee County as part of efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.She is not to "have any communication" with any of the co-defendants in the case or members of the media, per the terms of her agreement.She will also have to write an apology letter to the people of the state of Georgia, "which you have already satisfied," McAfee said during Thursday's court proceeding.Powell, Chesebro, Trump, and 16 others pleaded not guilty in August to all charges in a sweeping racketeering indictment for alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the state of Georgia.Powell is the second defendant in the case to strike a plea agreement after Georgia bail bondsman Scott Hall last month took a plea deal in which he pleaded guilty to tampering with voting machine equipment and received probation in exchange for agreeing to testify at the trial of other co-defendants.Chesebro, an attorney, is facing seven counts after prosecutors said he drafted a strategy to use so-called "alternate electors" to prevent Joe Biden from receiving 270 electoral votes in the 2020 election, according to the indictment.Jury selection in his case is scheduled to get underway Friday.。

这种外星人榴莲，不是来自外星，正是来自于近来和中国关系不怎么样的菲律宾。而且榴莲的“旅行待遇”还不低呢，是从菲律宾空运过来的。

对这件事，有不少人有不同的看法，觉得有点便宜菲律宾了。

三 | 究竟应该怎么看？菲律宾的榴莲到中国登堂入室呢？如果从下面这几个道理来理解的话，也许我们接受菲律宾的榴莲贸易，心里就会坦然一点了。

四 |

一是，两军对垒不斩来使。要说两国的矛盾程度，那美国与中国的关系要比中菲关系严重多了。中美不是还是每年有几千亿美元的贸易来往吗？只要贸易对双方有利，即使两国关系不好，贸易还是可以照常进行的。

俗话说两军对垒，连来使都不斩，更何况只是榴莲等贸易商品。要知道我国榴莲进口金额已经达到了国内进口水果金额的榜首，在所有进口水果当中，榴莲它的进口金额是最高的。

2022年中国进口水果金额达到了146亿美元，其中榴莲就占据了将近1/3，高达40.3亿美元。但是在2022年的数据统计当中，有95%的榴莲是来自泰国，5%是来自于越南。2023年中国才开始进口菲律宾的榴莲。对比2022年的82.5万吨榴莲进口量来说，菲律宾的计划是向中国出口5.4万多吨的数量。其实全过来了，它也只占很少一部分。但是对菲律宾来讲，达到了菲律宾榴莲产量的80%，这对菲律宾来说还是很有诱惑力的。

二是智者搭桥、愚者筑墙。桥是路的延伸和连接，有了桥才有通途，多一些捷径路才好走。冤家宜解不宜结，多一个朋友，少一个敌人。菲律宾现在肯定谈不上是朋友，但是也谈不上是劲敌，还是要注意尽量把他少往美国那边推，留点中菲交往的通道。对今后有机会改善中菲关系，那还是有利的。

第三是攻心为上、攻城为下。

六 | 堡垒最容易从内部攻破，菲律宾内部并不是铁板一块，反对马科斯的声浪也不小。咱们必须注意区别对待，分化利用。

我们要反对的是马科斯当局，对那些支持发展中菲关系的菲律宾国内力量，要给予支持，其中就包括给他们提供支持发展中菲关系的正当理由。互惠贸易就是其中的重要部分。同时让菲律宾老百姓切实感受到在中菲正常关系当中受益，也是有利于鼓励他们反对马科斯当局的对华不友好的政策。所以榴莲它不是坏东西，坏掉的是菲律宾行政当局。

有的人的脑子，类似的问题，其实在中印、中越等双边关系当中也存在。我们只要做到贸易照做，领土寸土不让，主权不可商量就可以了。
