—Trump’s Spirit of “Strive Unceasingly, Uphold Virtue to Bear All Things”!

By Archer Hong Qian

There’s no need to watch Trump’s speech at the Riyadh Forum to know where his vision of a new world order will lead humanity!

However, don’t expect to understand this without thinking, using ready-made political-economic philosophies—whether it’s the omnipresent “Keynesian economics beast,” the endlessly verbose yet impractical Austrian school’s “wise old man,” or the mainstream economics “grandmaster” dominating university classrooms and various media. None of these can fully encapsulate the practical essence of Trump’s MAGA economics!

As I’ve said before, “With the heart of a fool, the wisdom of a saint, and the courage of a knight, Trump has opened a new chapter for world peace and the restructuring of globalization.” (January 20, 2021, Altitude Weekly, four full pages)

Today, as the president of the world’s most influential nation, everything Trump does simply proclaims and conveys this: the Creator has endowed every individual, every family, every community, every nation, and the international community with the power to achieve a self-organizing, balanced connection in life. By harnessing this power, we will inevitably “pursue possible worlds and create a perfect life within the spatiotemporal realm of intersubjective symbiosis!”

Trump’s own journey is a quintessential example of an “intersubjective symbiotic gentleman”!

Based on this, I wrote Theoretical Suggestions and Action Guidelines for the Trump Team to Restructure Globalization 3.0, hoping to help transform the MAGA spirit (which can also manifest as Argentina’s MAGA, Italy’s MEGA, Japan’s MJGA, or even China’s MCGA) into a paradigm for ending Globalization 2.0 and stepping into the era of 3.0.

Yes, Globalization 2.0 (1945–2024) achieved much, but it has become a memory, and its three major flaws have already forced the United States to take the lead in restructuring Globalization 3.0:

First, the obsession with free trade, constrained by the Triffin-Rodrik-Qian trilemma, often emphasizes only most-favored-nation treatment in practice, neglecting the balance of rights and responsibilities. It reaps the dividends of “double-standard” rules, leaving other nations—especially the United States—at a long-term disadvantage (even a giant like the U.S. will be depleted if this continues). This is unsustainable and demands a more encompassing and rigid world order.

Second, globalism, cloaked in ideology, has co-opted the American public into paying for politically correct ideologies. In essence, it’s a deal between national (sovereign) capital and power, colluding to transfer excess capacity and hollow out societies—a mutually harmful model of structural imbalance (e.g., the decline of American manufacturing, urban hollowing-out, the erosion of Chinese workers’ rights to work and live, rural decay, and the slide into “total bureaucratic rent-seeking and total tenantization”). By the way, Trump’s new policy of “non-interference in domestic affairs” effectively pulls the rug out from under nationalist fervor that evades responsibility and uses its own people as cannon fodder.

Third, Globalization 2.0’s race to maximize GDP growth has exacerbated structural imbalances in nations, damaged the health of societies, and led to civilizational conflicts and a global crisis of trust and faith, urgently calling for a new value standard to emerge.

In this world, only the United States can lead the change, spearheading the return of “production to life, life to ecology, and ecology to the vitality of life,” rebalancing self-organizing connections, and restructuring the golden ratio of economic health in Globalization 3.0 through the symbiotic economics of GDE value—a mechanism of five interactive factors (cost reduction, empowerment, health, trust, peace) for symbiotic reward and restraint. This will:

• Render rule double-standards and distortions of free trade powerless;

• Expose ideological packaging of unequal transactions with nowhere to hide;

• Leave excessive growth, which masks the scarcity of health and trust, with no recourse.

Only then can MAGA lead the world, striving unceasingly, upholding virtue to bear all things, for only virtue can move the heavens, reaching far and wide without limit!

In the end, the restructuring of Globalization 3.0 into a new world order will force all nations to either unconditionally undergo structural transformation to earn the “qualification to re-enter the game,” or stubbornly cling to an unbalanced structure favoring rights over responsibilities, dragging their own people into “self-imposed exclusion”!

This is the universal law of interpersonal and international relations in Symbionomics: “Live and let others live; do not be evil nor cause others to be evil”—the contemporary revelation of the philosophy of Everything Intersubjective Symbiosism!

敢问路在何方？

——川普的“自强不息，厚德载物”精神！

钱 宏（Archer Hong Qian）

不必看川普利雅得论坛的讲话，也知道川普的世界新秩序会把人类带向何方！

但是，也别企望不动脑子，用现成的政治经济哲学——无论是“无处不在的凯恩斯主义经济学畜生”，还是喋喋不休光说不练的奥派经济学“智叟”，抑或占据大学课堂和各色媒体的主流经济学“教师爷”，都再不可能套上川普MAGA实操经济学的全部内涵！

我说过，“川普以傻子般的发心、圣人般的智慧、骑士般的勇气，开启了世界和平与全球化重组的新篇章。”（2021.1.20《高度周刊》4个整版）

今天，作为这个世界最具影响力的国家总统，这样的川普，他所做的一切，仅仅昭示传达了：造物主赋予每个人、每个家庭、每个社区、每个国家，以及国际社会，只需发挥生命自组织连接平衡的伟力，必将“在交互主体共生的时空意间，追寻可能的世界，创造臻美的生活”！

川普本人的成长，正是“交互共生绅士”的典范！

基于此，我写了《川普团队重构全球化3.0的理论建议与行动指南》，愿以此助MAGA精神（还可是阿根廷米莱的MAGA、意大利的梅洛尼的MEGA或日本的MJGA，乃至中国的MCGA）转化为终结全球化2.0而迈进3.0时代的典范。

是的，全球化2.0（1945-2024）成就不小，但已成回忆，而其三大弊端，也已在倒逼美国，率先重构全球化3.0：

第一，自由贸易的执念，受特利芬-罗德里克-钱宏三重悖论的制约，在实施中往往只讲最惠，不讲权责对等，吃规则“双标”的红利，让他国特别是美国，长期吃亏（大哥块头再大也会被坐吃山空）不可持续，必须有涵盖力更大且刚性的世界秩序；

第二，全球主义包装，裹挟美国大众，为政治正确意识形态买单，本质是民族（主权）国家资本与权力沆瀣一气做买卖转嫁过剩产能，掏空社会，实为结构性失衡的互害模式（如美国制造衰败、城市空心化，中国劳工工作生活权益受损、乡村败落而从容“全官寻租化、全民佃户化”），顺便说一句，川普的“不干涉内政”新政策宣示，等于对逃避责任让本国人民作炮灰的民族主义煽情釜底抽薪；

第三，全球化2.0追赶GDP增长极限竞赛，加剧各国结构性失衡，损害社会机体健康，导致文明冲突和全球性信任信仰危机，亟需全新的价值标准问世。

这世界，也只有美国率先改变，带头让“生产回归生活，生活呈现生態，生態激发生命”自组织连接再平衡，重构全球化3.0经济健康黄金率的共生经济学GDE价值——五因交互（降本、赋能、健康、信任、和平）共生奖抑机制，从而：

让规则双标，扭曲自由贸易，无机可趁； 让意识形態，包装不对等交易，无处遁形； 让过剩增长，掩盖健康信任稀缺，无计可施。

才能让MAGA引领全球，自强不息，厚德载物，惟德动天，无远弗届！

最后，全球化3.0重构世界新秩序，就是倒逼世界各国，要么无条件自行结构性改变，赢得“重新入局”的资质，要么冥顽不化坚持权重责轻的独大结构，连累本国人民“自甘出局”！

这就是共生经济学（Symbionomics）“自己活也要别人活，不要自己邪恶也让别人邪恶（Live and let others live; do not be evil nor cause others to be evil）”的人际国际通律——Everything Intersubjective Symbiosism哲学的当代昭示！
