"中国国际问题研究所副所长郭宪纲说，美国新大使面临诸多挑战，其中最重要的就是
台湾问题。郭宪纲说：'随着中国的发展强大，那么这个问题就越来越突出。中国国内
的民众在这个问题上的情结越来越强烈，对美国向台湾出售武器的这种愤怒的情结越来
越高涨。' * * * 骆家辉在媒体见面会中以及在随后与记者的自由交谈中，谈到了台湾
、人权等敏感问题。问及美国继续对台军售的可能性时，他说，美国关于台湾的政策是
非常清楚的，将不会发生变化。
" 骆家辉星期五晚间到达首都机场时引起媒体关注的，不仅是他关于美中关系的言论，
他和家人自背行李、手提肩扛的情景也很让中国人感动。* * * 有网民议论说，中国一
个乡长外出都有人拎包，下雨有人打伞，更甭说长途旅行了。还有的说，中国官员哪天
能像家辉那样上任，中国就有希望了。
