写完白宫幕僚专栏及其各自所把持的部门之后，笔者最近比较关注美中经济与安全审查委员会（USCC），发现它就像是美国处理与中国关系的一个中央处理器。它们每年都会出一个年报，从2002年至今，一年比一年厚，能感受到话语体系的变化。在2007年的报告中，笔者发现它就引用了纳瓦罗的研究成果，指出中国不公平竞争的5大武器，包括货币贬值、盗窃知识产权、环保条例比较宽松、出口补贴等，也指出了中国没有遵守WTO规则。它们每年都会给国会提几十条建议，建议其给各个部门分配任务，调查相关问题。从现在的美国政策来看，多少都有体现。
本文是2018年年报，发表于2018年11月14日，分4章，共11个部分，全面评估了中美经济、贸易、国家安全、军事等方面的关系，还评估了中国与美国盟友、中国与亚太国家（如朝鲜等）、中国与台湾地区、中国与香港地区的关系，同时还有对中国国内推行的"一带一路"等计划的评估。在此基础上，它像国会提出了26条建议，建议国会指示或授权各部门之间加强协调，或开展某些新的评估项目，这些都是下一步工作的重点。
读2018年的报告，再配合中兴、晋华、华为等事件，心中非常不安，一方面用词非常"狠"，另一方面对技术，特别是5G、通信和物联网技术，要全面压制中国。所以，制裁可能仍在路上。
考虑到很少有读者能够耐心的读完这539页的英文报告，笔者将最核心的"建议"部分翻译总结如下，共各位读者参考（报告有个总结部分，可以去官网下载，地址：https://www.uscc.gov/Annual_Reports/2018-annual-report）。
