In his paper “Nationalism, Egalitarianism and Global Justice”, Su Gu extends luck egalitarianism to the debate on global justice in an unconventional way. He invokes luck egalitarianism not to support global egalitarianism, as is commonly the case, but to push back against it. Qingping Liu’s paper, “Global Justice as the Bottom Line: Equal Needs or Equal Rights?”, is also unorthodox [both papers are published in this journal (forthcoming)]. Running against one current in global justice, Liu argues that there is no duty of global justice to meet basic needs and that, moreover, global redistributive policies for the purpose of satisfying needs are generally unjust. Although Liu and Gu provide different arguments for their conclusions, they both believe that global redistributive demands unfairly impose on those who are expected to contribute. My aim in this brief commentary is to try to situate these papers within the global justice literature and to raise some questions that they provoke.

全球正义，运气和人类需求：对顾和刘的反思

苏古在其论文《民族主义，平等主义和全球正义》中以一种非常规的方式将运气均等主义扩展到了有关全球正义的辩论中。他呼吁运气平均主义不是像通常那样支持全球平均主义，而是反抗它。刘庆平的论文“作为底线的全球正义：平等的需求还是平等的权利？”也是非正统的（这两篇论文都发表在该杂志上（即将出版））。与全球正义的潮流背道而驰，刘认为，全球正义没有满足基本需求的责任，而且，为满足需求而制定的全球再分配政策通常是不公正的。尽管刘和谷为得出的结论提供了不同的论点，但他们都认为，全球再分配要求不公平地强加给那些有望做出贡献的人。
