#Editorial AppleDailyHK｜"The U.S.-China relation is at the crossroad, and the CCP is taking a confrontational stance. If the U.S. wants to reconcile, it must be careful not to show its weakness, which is the hardest task for Biden. Therefore, “slow, light, stall” tactics would probably be Biden’s expediency.

"美中關係正來到十字路口，中共擺出對抗姿態，美國若欲修好，須慬防示人以弱，這也是拜登為難的地方，因此採取慢，輕，拖的策略，應該會是他的權宜之計。"

Joe：「伊拉克國會的部分議員通過法案，希望驅逐美軍部隊，美國陸軍第82空降師已經前往中東，伊朗則是威脅要痛擊毫不相干的以色列，我看油價很有機會拉一波漲勢了。」

伊拉克國會稍早以170票贊成、0票反對，通過驅逐美軍部隊案，伊拉克總理Adil Abdul-Mahdi指出，伊朗頭號軍事指揮官Qassim Soleimani在伊拉克首都巴格達機場遭到美軍無人機炸殺傷亡是一起「政治刺殺事件」，並向該國國會報告將提出時間表，要所有外國部隊撤離該國，伊拉克國會共328席。庫德族與遜尼派的國會議員5日並未出席，也就沒有投票。

美國北卡羅來納州布拉格堡(Fort Bragg)美國陸軍第82空降師(82nd Airborne Division)約3500名士兵旋即被派往中東，成為數十年來最大規模的快速部署，第82空降師發言人中校Lt. Col. Mike Burns說，這支「快速反應部隊」將在數天內部署；他說：「士兵們要進行很多準備工作；這次任務讓很多人都相當意外，但士兵們都很高興也很自豪。」

軍方官員說，美國在伊拉克首都巴格達的大使館遭示威者包圍後，已部署約650人的步兵營，後續可望成為1989年以來最大規模的軍事目的快速部署。

伊朗革命衛隊（Revolutionary Guards）前領袖、現擔任伊朗政裁決機構「權宜委員會」（Expediency Council）主管的芮塞（Mohsen Rezai），在社群網站推特中說：「我們採取軍事回應後，美國如果採取任何舉措，我們將讓以色列城市海法（Haifa）與特拉維夫（Tel Aviv）「化為灰燼」。

因為美國總統Donald Trump警告說，美國已經鎖定52個「對伊朗和伊斯蘭文化十分重要的」設施，假如伊朗攻擊美國的人民或資產，美國將「快速且沉重」痛襲伊朗。

值得思考

5 Questions Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim Must Answer

1. Does Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim accept that any elected representatives can resign for no valid reasons other than political expediency? Or is it only acceptable if it is for him to contest?

2. Did he consider other alternatives to Langkah PD and if yes, why pick Langkah PD over the alternatives?

3. Why does Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim need to enter Parliament now via an engineered by-election? Is there an urgent matter that require his immediate participation in the legislative body? What is the hurry?

4. Why did he not pick Permatang Pauh, his traditional constituency, or Pandan, occupied by Datuk Seri Wan Azizah? If Datuk Seri Wan Azizah can vacate the PKR Presidency for Anwar, then why can’t she let go of her Parliamentary seat as well? Is there a need to have a father, wife and daughter as members of Parliament at the same time?

5. If he wins in Port Dickson, can he guarantee he will continue to contest in Port Dickson in upcoming General Elections? Or is he using Port Dickson only for this Langkah PD, and abandon them after he gets what he wants?

Malaysians voted against Old Politics on May 9th. This Langkah PD is a move that can lead to the return of Old Politics. Malaysians must be aware and beware of this threat. We need a clear answer on all these, and more questions, from our candidate - Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

New Malaysia Rejects Old Politics.
