近年来“一带一路”倡议成果斐然，也令不少西方政客犯上了“红眼病”。    The CAS held the first of two planned hearings of the Football Union of Russia and club teams’ appeal of a FIFA/UEFA ban from UEFA competition on Tuesday.,Tuesday’s hearing, taking place in Lausanne, Switzerland, will be followed by a second hearing next Monday by four Russian clubs, including Zenit St. Petersburg, the reigning Russian Premier League champions, challenging their exclusion from UEFA competition.,UEFA ruled in May to bar Russian football clubs from all tournaments, including men’s teams and the women’s team for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023. At least for the remainder of the current season, Russian teams have been banned from the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, Europa Conference League, Women’s Champions League, and Youth League. The Russian bid to host the Euro 2028 and/or Euro 2032 events has also been preemptively rejected.,In arbitration filed in March, the Football Union of Russia demanded the immediate reinstatement of all teams for competition, arguing the “irreparable harm” that their exclusion would have on tournaments, including the FIFA World Cup, potential sponsorship losses, loss of experience, and loss of opportunity to compete against opponents of high standard. The Russian side also stressed that for players 30 years old or older, the 2022 World Cup constituted “the last chance of their career to play such a tournament.”,Former Formula One Boss Ecclestone Backs Putin Over Conflict With Ukraine30 June, 12:39 GMT,The football union argued that the International Olympic Committee resolution issued in February demanding that Russian athletes and officials be barred from international competition on which FIFA and UEFA based their decisions was “generic,” “does not refer to any legal provision and is not binding upon FIFA,” and that sporting authorities were acting in a “discriminatory” manner by barring Russian players.,FIFA argued that Russian teams’ presence or absence in the World Cup and the Women’s World Cup was “not guaranteed,” and dismissed the fact that some players would miss out on their last chance for their World Cup play as “irrelevant.” Furthermore, the association argued that “pursuant to CAS jurisprudence, private sports associations have a wide autonomy and margin of discretion when deciding on matters related to the competitions which they organize.” The CAS sided with FIFA and UEFA and rejected Russia’s cases in April, prompting FUR to appeal.,US Hybrid War Against Russia,Rick Sterling, a California-based investigative journalist who has written extensively on doping in sports, said he finds it unlikely that the CAS will rule in Russia's favor despite its case's "excellent arguments," among them the idea that you don't punish athletes for the actions of their nations.,"The US invaded Iraq and there was no denunciation let alone a punishment of athletes. The US, France and others overthrew the Libyan government, leaving a destroyed state, without criticism from the IOC or FIFA. So why are the Russian athletes being punished? One reason is because of built-in bias and prejudice. The IOC and FIFA are dominated by the West. It is very damaging that the IOC issued a recommendation that Russian athletes be discriminated against. This is a violation of the Olympic Charter against national discrimination," Sterling says.,"The US is openly and actively working to undermine Russia's image abroad, including in sports. They probably pre-coordinated the response to the special operation. Russian athletes are victims of the US hybrid war against Russia, as are Ukrainians and Russians," the journalist believes.,Football isn’t the only sport to have suffered from politicized bans instituted by world and national sporting authorities in the wake of the escalation of the Ukraine crisis, with tennis, basketball, hockey, skating and skiing competitions also affected. The arbitrary nature of the prohibitions has been exemplified by their random nature, with Russian athletes barred from FIFA play, for example, but allowed to compete in the 2022 Winter Paralympics, and at the US Open tennis tournament.,Top Tennis Stars in Favour of Penalising Wimbledon Over Ban on Russian Players, Report Says11 May, 11:40 GMT,The bans affecting Russia’s football players are just the latest instance of discrimination against the country’s athletes by international sporting bodies in recent years. In 2020, the CAS stripped Russia of its right to use its name, flag, and anthem at the Olympics and world championship events for two years, largely on the basis of the testimony of Grigory Rodchenkov, the former director of the Russian Anti-Doping Center laboratory-turned-informant to the World Anti-Doping who fled to the United States and testified about an alleged Russian “state-run doping program.” Russian officials denied the allegations and accused Rodchenkov of altering doping probe data of Russian athletes to fit the required narrative.。

B | 在当地时间5月16日上午，美国众议院臭名昭著的“中国问题特设委员会”又召开了一场听证会，寻求对抗“一带一路”倡议的影响力。

在这场以“条条大路通北京？中国的全球发展攻势”为主题的听证会上，作为证人参会的美国智库战略与国际研究中心（CSIS）高级副总裁丹尼尔·伦德（Daniel Runde）坦言，他“讨厌”中国的“一带一路”倡议，因为这是一个绝妙的构想，可它并非出自美国之手。

根据CSIS网站发布的证词，伦德将中国视作与美国具有“近乎同等硬实力和软实力的竞争对手”。他认为，中国能够而且愿意以15年前无法做到的方式填补美国留下的任何空白，比如疫苗、电信、海底电缆、港口、道路、多边体系中的领导地位或许多其他非军事领域。

D | 中国不仅可以在这些软实力领域与美国匹敌，有时甚至可以提供更好的东西。

伦德担心，如果美国不能满足发展中国家的希望和愿望，发展中国家就会转向中国，因此美国必须提供（或启用）替代方案。他称，美国必须制定一项战略对抗中国“一带一路”倡议的影响力，推进对中国具有比较优势的领域，同时重点关注对美国经济和国家安全利益至关重要的地区。

“中国问题特设委员会”发布的视频显示，伦德在听证会上说：“在大国竞争时代，我们不应要求发展中国家停止与中国的合作，而是要寻找到一种替代方案，可我们不能赤手空拳地去战斗，我们能拿出什么战略，这就是问题所在。”

他同时表示，美国必须面对一些残酷的现实，中国是发展中国家更好的基础设施建设者和投资伙伴。

伦德感慨，“在理想情况下，我们会一如25年前那样在贸易领域引领世界。

H | 遗憾的是，‘一带一路’是一项雄心勃勃而且充满希望的项目，它符合中国的朋友和潜在朋友们的愿望”。

他称，在全球范围内，美国已尝试用多种手段应对这一挑战，尽管美国国会和总统拜登都采取了相关行动，但美国还需要做得更多，以提高自身软实力。

为此，伦德还抛出了“投入更多对外援助资金”“加强美国发展机构”“优先考虑创新”“建立私营部门联盟”等策略，试图帮助美国对抗“一带一路”日益增强的影响力。

随着中国“一带一路”倡议受到越来越多国家的欢迎，美欧都曾采取过行动，推出被视作抗衡“一带一路”影响力的方案。

例如2021年12月1日，欧盟正式公布“全球门户”计划，预计将在2027年前投入3000亿欧元，协助发展中国家兴建基础设施，但至今乏善可陈，在具体项目落实上缺乏进展。去年9月，美国、印度、沙特阿拉伯、欧盟在二十国集团（G20）峰会场边签署谅解备忘录，宣布将建设“印度－中东－欧洲经济走廊”（IMEC），也被外媒视作意在对抗“一带一路”，但考虑到参与方在线路规划等领域存在的分歧，分析人士并不看好它的前景。

英国《金融时报》5月12日报道，欧盟国际伙伴事务委员尤塔·乌尔皮莱宁（Jutta Urpilainen）表示，中国在向全球南方国家提供基础设施投资上表现得更加灵活，而欧盟的融资往往附带冗杂的环境和社会条件，这使得欧盟的“全球门户”计划难以抗衡中国的“一带一路”倡议。

中国外交部发言人汪文斌在回应有关基建倡议的问题时曾表示，中方认为全球基础设施领域的合作空间广阔，各类相关倡议不存在相互抗衡或者是彼此取代的问题。世界需要的是搭桥，而不是拆桥；是互联互通，而不是脱钩筑墙；是互利共赢，而不是封闭排他。

J | 中方欢迎一切有助于汇聚合力，促进全球基础设施建设的倡议。任何打着基础设施建设旗号，推进地缘政治的算计都不受欢迎，也不会得逞。
