It is often said that the Western concept of “contractual spirit” cannot take root in China… 常有人說西方的契約精神在中國不能樹立起來…

First, let’s look at what Switzerland calls “contractual spirit”:

In March 2022, Switzerland announced additional sanctions against Russia, beginning to deviate from its traditional stance of permanent neutrality.
In January 2023, Switzerland directly declared the abandonment of its over-200-year-old status as a permanently neutral country.

On March 23, 2023, Switzerland announced the restoration of its permanently neutral status, lifting all sanctions against Russia—including the unfreezing of funds for Russian clients—and pledged to cease all weapon exports to Ukraine.

Just six days later, on March 29, 2023, after declaring the restoration of its neutral status, Switzerland once again abandoned neutrality, reinstated sanctions against Russia, refroze Russian assets, and announced renewed military aid to Ukraine.

A country renowned for its financial industry and built on credit has, within a single year, reduced the word “permanent” to a meaningless term, resulting in the loss of 500 billion in private wealth from UBS and the collapse of Credit Suisse…

Honestly, it’s almost laughable when Switzerland talks about contracts!

When the West speaks of “contractual spirit,” what about the Standard Oil case—where was the contractual spirit there? How did the Alstom case reflect any contractual spirit? And what does the seizure of Nexperia using the Cold War-era Defense Production Act have to do with contractual spirit?

The first thing Trump did upon taking office was to openly violate the North American Free Trade Agreement, threatening sanctions against any transactions bypassing the United States. So where is the “contractual spirit” you champion?

Since the establishment of the WTO in 1995, the United States has faced over 150 complaints in less than 20 years—far more than any other country—losing 107 of these cases. Among these, 28 disputes arose due to failure to implement rulings, and in 9 cases, complainants were authorized to take retaliatory measures…

To continue avoiding compliance, the U.S. simply blocked the selection of judges for the appellate body, paralyzing the WTO’s dispute settlement function. Is this the “contractual spirit” you praise—turning around and blaming others when it suits you?

The West appears more like a group of bandits dressed in suits, learning to act civilized while their hands remain stained with blood. Despite numerous cases, they still refuse to reflect.

Should we continue to glorify this Western “contractual spirit” that borders on insanity?

先來看看瑞士所謂的契約精神：

2022年3月，瑞士宣布對俄羅斯的額外製裁，開始偏離永久中立的傳統立場；

2023年1月，瑞士直接宣布放棄維持了200多年的永久中立國地位；

2023年3月23日，瑞士宣布再次恢復永久中立國身份，取消了對俄羅斯的一切制裁，包括取消對俄羅斯客戶的資金凍結，並承諾不再向烏克蘭出口任何武器；

2023年3月29日，在宣布恢復永久中立國身份僅6天後，瑞士又宣布放棄中立，重新恢復對俄羅斯的制裁，並恢復對俄羅斯資金的凍結，再宣布向烏克蘭援助武器。

一個靠金融業聞名，靠信貸立國的國家，短短一年就把“永久”這個詞玩成了垃圾字眼，搞得瑞銀私人財富流失5000億，瑞信(Credit Suisse)直接暴雷……

屬實是你瑞士說契約我都覺得有點好笑！

你西方說“契約精神”，那麼標準石油案有什麼契約精神可言？阿爾斯通案又體現了哪些契約精神？用冷戰時期的《物資供應法》接管安世半導體，這跟契約精神又有什麼關係？

懂王上任后第一件事就是公然破壞北美自由貿易協定，威脅對任何繞過美國的交易實施制裁，那麼你所崇尚的“契約精神”又在哪裡呢？

美國從1995年WTO成立伊始，不到20年間就被投訴超過150次，遠遠超過其他國家，其中敗訴107次，因執行裁決不力發生爭端的案件28起、授權起訴方採取報復措施的案件9起……

為繼續拒絕執行，美帝乾脆直接阻撓上訴機構的法官遴選，導致世貿裁決職能停擺。你崇尚的“契約精神”就是在這時候倒打一耙是嗎？

西方看起來更像是一群強盜披上西裝學著做人的樣子，手上沾滿了血跡，面對這麼多案件卻仍然不肯反思。

我們還要繼續吹捧這種精神病般的西方“契約精神”嗎？
