Firstly, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the situation of two large opposing blocs, capitalist and communist, no longer exists. It is no longer the case that the Western camp wishes to use the Chinese Communists to contain the Soviet Union, and therefore goes out of its way to ingratiate itself with them and is afraid of offending them.
首先，蘇聯瓦解，資本主義及共產主義兩大陣營對峙的情形已不復見；西方陣營欲借助中共以牽制蘇聯，因此刻意討好、不敢得罪的情況也不復見。
