The article in Time on Jan 5th 2018,How the U.S. Used Jazz as a Cold War Secret Weapon mentions that The State Department hoped that showcasing popular American music around the globe would not only introduce audiences to American culture, but also win them over as ideological allies in the cold war. Trumpeting American values in newly decolonized states in Africa and Asia, the US bore in mind the same idea: keep communism at bay by whatever means possible.

最新一期的美國《時代》周刊題為《美國使用爵士樂作為冷戰(zhàn)的秘密武器》的文章提到，美國國務(wù)院在“冷戰(zhàn)”時期希望通過在全球范圍內(nèi)展示美國流行音樂來向觀眾介紹美國文化，同時想把受眾國爭取過來作為自己的意識形態(tài)盟友。美國在亞非那些剛剛獲得獨立的國家宣揚其價值觀的同時，始終抱有這樣一個想法：以任何可能的方式來阻止共產(chǎn)主義。

The article with the title saying Avoiding GMOs isn’t just anti-science. It’s immoral in Washingtonpost on Jan 1st, 2018, mentioned that a concerted, deep-pockets campaign, as relentless as it is baseless, has persuaded a high percentage of Americans and Europeans to avoid GMO products, and to pay premium prices for“non-GMO” or “organic” foods that may in some cases be less safe and less nutritious. This is the kind of foolishness that rich societies can afford to indulge. But when they attempt to inflict their superstitions on the poor and hungry peoples of the planet, the cost shifts from affordable to dangerous and the debate from scientific to moral.

2018年1月1日的《華盛頓郵報》刊登一篇題為《拒絕轉(zhuǎn)基因不僅是反科學(xué)，更是不道德》的文章稱，盡管這場持續(xù)不斷、協(xié)力針對轉(zhuǎn)基因食品的行動毫無事實依據(jù)，但因其背后有強大資金支持，已經(jīng)成功勸說很大一部分歐美人士對轉(zhuǎn)基因說“不”，使其不得不高價購買在某些情況下更不安全、更不營養(yǎng)的非轉(zhuǎn)基因或有機食品。富人對這種愚蠢行為的代價還能承受，但對那些貧窮和饑餓的人們而言，它不再是能否承受的問題，而是一場生死考驗。對轉(zhuǎn)基因的爭論已經(jīng)從科學(xué)轉(zhuǎn)移為道德范疇。
