都是4000元，飞三亚还是飞普吉岛******
距离春节假期还有不到一周时间，国内游和出境游的热度持续升温。其中，三亚和泰国这两大旅游热门地的性价比和出行便利性被网友们拿来比较。
跨境游，泰国成断层第一
1月15日，红星资本局发现，多个在线旅游平台已上架泰国旅游相关产品。在去哪儿平台上，泰国6日自由行往返机票在4000元左右。其中，最低的是上海到清迈3818元起，最高的是南京到普吉岛4129元起。
飞泰国往返机票约4000元，与成渝、东北等地到海南的往返机票均价相差无几。选择到泰国出境游还是在三亚国内游，引起众多网友热议。
携程数据显示，2022年12月27日至2023年1月11日，在平台预订春节假期跨境旅行的订单中，泰国已成为断层第一(断层第一指第一名与第二名差距很大，形成断层)。尤其在亚洲国家中，泰国订单量超越日韩逾2-3倍。同期，泰国赴中国的旅行预订量同比增长101%。
中国游客是疫情前泰国旅游市场最大的客源群体，泰国对中国旅客期待已久。泰国国家旅游局此前预估，2023年泰国接待国际游客的目标数量为2000万。而自中国宣布放开入境政策之后，泰国方面迅速将该目标上调至2500万。
会否冲击三亚旅游市场？
从出行便利度来看，红星资本局在旅游平台上搜索机票时发现，目前，国内飞泰国的直飞航线较少。以成都飞曼谷、清迈为例，目前暂未开放直飞航班，均要中转。
“从目前看来，去海南的航班数量比泰国多，以成都飞三亚的航班为例，一天就有15班次。差不多等于飞泰国的航班一周的数量。”飞猪相关负责人告诉红星资本局。
泰国民航局此前透露，已有多家航空公司的中泰航班获准在第一季度内从原来每周的15班次增加至每日20班次。外交部发言人汪文斌1月11日也在例行记者会上表示，中方将增加往返泰国等国直航航班，为中国游客前往旅游提供更多便利。
对于出境游回温是否会挤占三亚旅游市场一事，北京第二外国语学院中国文化和旅游大数据研究院执行院长钟栎娜接受红星资本局采访时认为，“出境游的回温，对三亚旅游市场的影响不大。”
钟栎娜补充说明，每逢冬季，到南方避寒的旅客基数大。无论是三亚还是整个海南岛，都难以完全吸纳所有旅客，肯定会有外溢现象出现；其次，出国旅游和国内旅游所对应的人群不同。到三亚旅游相对便利，且以旅居人群较多，“两者并不冲突。”

中新网评：美国众议长选举“连续剧”暴露美式民主痼疾******
中新网北京1月9日电(蒋鲤)在15轮投票表决后，美国众议院议长选举这场“连续剧”终于落下帷幕，众议院共和党领袖凯文•麦卡锡最终成功当选第55任美国众议院议长。这是美国国会过去164年来耗时最久的一次议长选举记录，将美国“对抗式民主”的弊端暴露无遗。
资料图：美国众议院共和党领袖麦卡锡。中新社记者 沙晗汀 摄由于两党对立加剧、党派内斗、利益分配不均等因素，众议长选举陷入一场拉锯战。在此次众议长竞选中，美国民主党议员继续抱团，多轮投票中，一票不投麦卡锡，共和党右翼“强硬派”领头的约20人小团体也拒绝投票麦卡锡。
麦卡锡的当选之路一波三折，除了本人的“政治投机派”角色在国会不受欢迎外，与共和党内部政治分歧关系密切。
一方面，共和党党内反对者认为，麦卡锡对民主党态度过于软弱，无力对抗民主党控制的参议院和拜登政府，另一方面，因为共和党的多数优势微弱，党内一些影响力较小的派系的政治力量则被放大，有利于他们巩固自己的选票。
此外，党内反对者也认为，自己的选票没有换取更多利益，希望以此作为筹码换取麦卡锡更大的让步，比如让他们获得众议院重要委员会中的职务。
作为仅次于美国总统、副总统的政坛三号人物，众议院议长通常由众议院多数党领袖担任，选举几乎没有悬念。然而，麦卡锡此次为当选，不得不做出多个关键让步，其中可能包括恢复一项罢黜议长动议机制，使得众议长的权力被削弱，难以掌控众议院。
美国有线电视新闻网CNN称，麦卡锡在这场不合时宜的政治勒索中作出让步，这种绥靖政策只会让极端主义势力更加强大。
这场引发全世界围观的尴尬选举暴露出美国政治存在严重的对立和分化。在权力博弈思维的裹挟下，党派利益凌驾于国家和人民利益之上，美国两党相互拆台，陷入“为反对而反对”的无脑对垒。而即便是一党内，也会因为利益分配问题产生不同的小派系，相互对抗，选票变成了谋利益的工具。
从国会山骚乱到打破记历史记录的15轮众议长选举，“对抗式民主”让美国政治陷入瓶颈，长期对抗势必会让政客们丧失客观公正的判断能力，其政治阶层是否有能力治理国家也会引发质疑。
两党之争和党派内斗进一步放大了美国政治体制弊病，美国所谓的“民主”形象，让全世界大跌眼镜。鼓吹以选民利益为先的美式选举，变成了政客们利益置换的游戏，进一步彰显出美国“民主政治”日渐失能，不断极化的党争已使美国政治制度陷入死循环。
House speaker election reveals deep-rooted problems in U.S. democracy
(ECNS) -- The Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was elected as the 55th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 ballots. As the most grueling House speaker election in the past 164 years, the election has highlighted the defects of the country’s "confrontational democracy".
The election once reached a stalemate due to intense partisan strife, inner-party struggle among the Republicans, uneven distribution of interests, and more. Democratic Party members forged a close alliance, refusing to vote for McCarthy, while about 20 Republicans also declined to cast ballots for the GOP leader.
Except for his unpopular role as a "political speculator" in Congress, McCarthy’s hard-won election can be attributed to turmoil within the Republican Party.
On the one hand, opponents in the Republican Party believe that the GOP leader's attitude toward the Democrats is too weak to confront the Senate controlled by Democrats and the Biden administration.
On the other hand, the political power of some less influential factions in the Republican Party has been amplified due to the Party’s weak majority advantage in the House of Representatives, which is conducive to consolidating their ticket warehouses.
Meanwhile, these opponents believe that their votes failed to win them more benefits, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip for McCarthy's further concessions, such as getting them positions in important House Committees.
As the third political figure after the President and Vice President of the U.S., the speaker, by tradition, is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives.
But McCarthy has made many concessions in order to bring the ultra conservatives along, involving what’s known as the “motion to vacate,” a mechanism by which members can force a vote to depose the speaker. The reported concessions will empower individual members at the expense of McCarthy’s sway as speaker.
CNN thought the concessions he made during this unseemly political shakedown would only make the extremist faction more powerful.
This embarrassing election, which has drawn global attention, exposed the serious opposition and polarization in American politics. Both Democrats and Republicans put their interests before that of the country and its people, attacking and opposing each other irrationally.
Besides, different factions arise within a single party and confront each other because of the distribution of interests. Votes have become a tool to win more benefits.
From Capitol riots to the House Speaker election with record-breaking ballots, "confrontational democracy" has become a bottleneck of American politics. Long-term confrontation will surely impede politicians to think objectively and fairly while their capacity of governing the country will also raise doubts among the public.
Both parties’ struggle and infighting among the Republicans have further amplified the defects of the American political system, with its "democratic" image shocking the world.
The U.S.-style election, which advocates putting voters' interests first, has become a game of interest exchange among politicians. In addition, it further demonstrates the malfunction of American "democratic politics" and the constantly polarized party struggle that has trapped the American political system into an infinite cycle.
