在《纽约时报》发布于8月21日的采访中，意大利总理梅洛尼谈到了她与美国总统特朗普的关系。“很明显，对于唐纳德·特朗普，我原以为事情会更容易一些，因为我们在移民和觉醒文化问题上有共识，”梅洛尼表示，“但结果却并非如此。”她随后阐述了她对近期美意关系紧张的看法。         This photo shows copies of a think tank report examining the historical origins, spiritual essence, and contemporary value of Kunlun culture released during the Kunlun Culture Forum held in Xining, northwest China's Qinghai Province.

(Xinhua/Zhang Long)A think tank affiliated with Xinhua News Agency released on Wednesday a report examining the historical origins, spiritual essence, and contemporary value of Kunlun culture.
The National High-Level Think Tank of the Xinhua News Agency unveiled the Chinese and English versions of the report at the Kunlun Culture Forum in Xining, capital of northwest China's Qinghai Province.
The report describes Kunlun culture as an important origin of Chinese civilization and a vital spiritual emblem of the Chinese nation. It said the culture offers both theoretical and practical guidance for carrying forward fine traditional Chinese culture, forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation, and advancing exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations.
Stretching over 2,500 km across western China with an average elevation surpassing 5,000 meters, the towering Kunlun Mountains have long been revered as "the ancestor of all mountains and the source of all waters."
Drawing on archaeological evidence and historical records, the report said Kunlun culture carries the historical memory of shared origins and symbiosis among ethnic groups in three dimensions: the cosmic cognition of early Chinese people, the spiritual homeland of the Chinese nation, and the territorial symbol of ancient China. It also confirmed the unity in diversity and inclusiveness of Chinese civilization.
The report summarizes five core values of Kunlun culture: harmony between man and nature, great unity, vigorous self-improvement, cherishing life and caring for the people, and all under heaven as one family.
Rooted in millennia of cultural inheritance and ethnic integration, these values have shaped the cosmological view, the state view, the ethos of great resolve and perseverance, the people-centered view, and the worldview of Chinese civilization.
In the new era, Kunlun culture has undergone creative transformation and innovative development.
Local regions have tapped into Kunlun cultural resources and made coordinated efforts to advance cultural inheritance, ethnic unity, ecological conservation and industrial development, said the report.
Through initiatives such as themed study tours, folk performances, and integrated cultural and tourism development, the regions are achieving cultural inheritance, the continuity of national ethos, and the improvement of people's incomes and well-being.
"Exploring the wisdom embedded in Kunlun culture can provide a temperate yet profound Chinese approach to dissolving antagonism among civilizations and resolving development dilemmas," the report noted.
It added that the concepts of "harmony between man and nature" and "all under heaven as one family" in Kunlun culture offer precious oriental wisdom for resolving ecological challenges, civilizational estrangement, and geopolitical antagonism, and for advancing the building of a community with a shared future for humanity.
In Chinese mythology, Kunlun is a sacred peak where the Queen Mother of the West resides and where the Yellow Emperor, the cultural progenitor of the Chinese nation, built palaces to inaugurate the civilization of ritual and music.
At least nearly 20 ethnic groups, including the Qiang, Yi, Jingpo and Pumi, trace their ancestry to the foot of the Kunlun Mountains. Since modern times, Kunlun has been a spiritual homeland for the Chinese, often eulogized to invigorate the national spirit in times of national peril.

。据报道，两国政府之间的紧张关系在今年7月土耳其安卡拉北约峰会前达到顶峰。当时，特朗普在社交媒体上发布了一张梅洛尼仰望他的照片，并配文“需要限制令”。

B | 特朗普以此表示，他打算与梅洛尼保持更远的距离。

C |

社交媒体截图在采访中，她表示已有数周未与特朗普有过接触。当被问及近期是否计划会面时，她给出了含糊的回答：“我们拭目以待。

D | ”她随后补充道，“我仍然认为西方的团结非常重要”，但她不会“根据个人关系来决定意大利的战略”。梅洛尼重申了她此前表达过的立场：“我不喜欢意大利自视为低人一等、屈从于他人的想法。”她因此表明决心要推动“这个国家尽可能最大的一场革命：一场关于自豪的革命”。2025年1月，梅洛尼是出席特朗普第二个总统任期就职典礼的唯一欧洲主要国家领导人。但自今年2月底美以伊战事爆发，二人关系迅速恶化。

E | 意大利对战事保持距离，引发特朗普的不满。上个月，特朗普在接受采访时宣称，七国集团峰会期间，梅洛尼“央求”与自己单独会面并合影。特朗普说，“她央求与我合影。我是出于同情才答应的。”梅洛尼随后发布视频回应称，特朗普的说法“纯属捏造”。她表示，自己和意大利“从不乞求”任何人。
