美台商會會長Neil Hare前陣子在美台商會官網發表了一篇文章
文章呼籲川普應該買下台灣
對應了最近台北法案的通過
到美國對台灣加大力度
或許可以洞察美國對台灣的新態度
*作者為美國商會前副總裁。美國商會為美國最大的政治遊說團體之一。
全文及翻譯:
If President Trump Wants to Buy an Island, he Should Buy Taiwan
若川普總統想買座小島,它該買下台灣。
If the United States is island shopping, it is time to forget about Greenland
and take a look at the island nation of Taiwan, that sits literally and
figuratively in the middle of U.S.-China relations.
如果美國想買座小島,那麼是時候該忘記格陵蘭,把目光放到台灣。台灣在字義上與實際
上,都位於美中關係間。
Unlike Greenland, which is actually owned by another country – Denmark –
Taiwan sits in what U.S. foreign policy has declared “strategic ambiguity.”
It is not recognized by the United Nations, the U.S., or any of the G-20
countries. The U.S. actually has a legitimate claim to Taiwan under
international law by defeating Japan in World War II. Japan controlled Taiwan
at the time and ceded all the territories they conquered in the region to the
U.S. and the allied powers. When Nixon opened China in 1972, however, he
placated them by agreeing to the “One China” policy, which states that
Taiwan is not a separate country from China. The U.S. didn’t completely hang
Taiwan out to dry, and in 1979 the Taiwan Relations Act was passed whereby
the U.S. swore to defend Taiwan if attacked.
不像實際上由另一個國家——丹麥——所擁有的格陵蘭,台灣處於美國外交政策所宣稱的
「戰略模糊」下。聯合國、美國或任何G20國家都不承認台灣。而實際上,根據國際法,
美國在二戰擊敗日本後,對台灣可以有合理的主張。日本曾在當時控制台灣,並割讓了所
有征服的領土給美國與盟軍。尼克森總統在1972年對中國開放,並通過說明了中國並不是
一個分離於中國的國家的「一中政策」安撫中國。但美國並沒有完全讓台灣獨自面對困境
。在1979年美國通過了「台灣關係法」,誓言如果台灣受到攻擊將捍衛台灣。
This confusing and tenuous Kabuki dance has lasted for 40 years until
President Trump turned it on its head as he has done with many international
relationships that date back to the post World War II era. He has
communicated directly with Taiwan president Tsai Ing-wen and allowed her to
officially travel within the United States. And, he’s authorized major arms
sales to Taiwan including the recently approved $8 billion sale of 66 F-16V
fighters to Taiwan. These actions have bordered on diplomatic recognition of
Taiwan and have angered the Chinese.
這樣的政治操作持續了40年,直到川普總統完全改變它,就像許多可以追溯到戰後的國際關
係一樣。他直接與台灣總統蔡英文交流,並允許她正式地造訪美國。他還授權向台灣出售
了包括要價80億美元的66架F-16V戰機在內的主要武器給台灣。這些行動近乎於在外交上
承認台灣,並激怒了中國人。
President Trump has made our relationship with China the focal point of his
first term, even willing to jeopardize the strong economy that is the
highlight of his presidency by engaging in this heated trade war. So,
President Trump, double down and buy Taiwan.
川普總統將美國與中國的關係視為他第一個任期的重點,甚至願意影響強盛的經濟,參與
激烈的貿易戰。所以,川普總統,努力工作並早日買下台灣吧。
Look no further than the situation in Hong Kong, which is unravelling by the
day with major implications to the global economy. The people of Hong Kong do
not want to live under the oppressive rule of the Communist Chinese and are
taking to the streets. They are currently lobbying the U.S. Congress to pass
legislation keeping them out of China’s grasp. And, many of them are looking
to leave Hong Kong and go to Taiwan, which at present, still has many
freedoms of a Western-style democracy. However, they may be jumping out of
the frying pan and into the fire.
看看日漸對全球經濟產生重大影響的香港局勢,香港人民不願再忍受中國共產黨的壓迫,
走上了街頭。最近,他們遊說美國國會透過立法使他們得以繼續不受中國的掌控。許多香
港人甚至離開香港,前往仍有著許多西方民主自由的台灣。然而,他們卻可能跳入另一個
火坑。
Taiwan has a presidential election in January of 2020 between President Tsai
who is arguably pro-U.S. and the staunchly pro-Chinese candidate Han Kuo-yu.
If he wins there may be little the U.S. can do to stem the tide of Chinese
influence over Taiwan. It’s also important to note China is willing to play
the long game with Taiwan. They can employ their ancient torture of “death
by a thousand cuts” and simply acquire Taiwan bit by bit. They already
employ soft power tactics by hacking Taiwan daily, hiring its top talent,
influencing its social media, dominating their trade, and without question,
by trying to influence its upcoming election.
台灣將在2020年的1月舉行總統選舉,以在可以被說是親美的總統蔡英文及堅定支持中國
的的候選人韓國瑜間做出選擇。如果韓國瑜贏得了大選,美國可能將無能為力於阻止中國
對台灣的影響。同樣重要的是必須注意中國願意與台灣打持久戰。他們可以透過古老的酷
刑、「凌遲」式的方式,一點點的得到台灣。他們已經透過軟實力策略,每天對台灣發動
資訊戰、雇用台灣的頂尖人才、影響台灣的社群媒體、宰制台灣的貿易,並毫無疑問的,
試圖影響即將到來的大選。
President Trump must take action before it is too late, otherwise China is
looking at a huge win. Taiwan boasts the 22nd largest GDP in the world, is
our 11th largest trading partner and leads in sectors like tech, biotech,
chemicals, and engineering. It is also strategically located in close
proximity to “frenemies” China and North Korea and allies Japan and South
Korea. With all due respect to Greenland, Taiwan’s economy and geopolitical
importance dwarfs that of the frozen tundra to the north.
川普總統必須在為時以晚前採取行動,否則中國將取得巨大的勝利。台灣有著世界第22大
的GDP,還是美國第11大貿易夥伴,在科技、生計、化學及工程等領域有著領先的地位。
對於亦敵亦友的中國、北韓及蒙國日本、南韓而言,台灣也有著優越的戰略位置。在充分
尊重格陵蘭的的情況下,台灣的經濟與地緣重要性讓北方的凍原相形見拙。
If Taiwan is not for sale, a free trade agreement and special immigration
status for the Taiwanese would be the smart thing to do. Both ideas would
enjoy bi-partisan support and President Trump has the power to push both
ideas through Congress. These deals will also actually help the U.S. economy
and will likely not tweak China as much as the tariffs and recent arms deals
with Taiwan. We simply cannot forsake Taiwan to ‘Chinese soft power or
perhaps even the use of force’ and time is running out.
若無法買下台灣,FTA與給台灣人的特殊移民身分也能成為明智的選擇。這兩種想法都將
得到兩大黨的支持,而川普總統也有權透過國會推動他們。實際上,這也將對美國的經濟
有所幫助,而且也不會像關稅或最近的對台軍售協議一樣,對中國產生太大的影響。我們
不應眼睜睜的看着台灣受到中國的軟實力,乃至武力上的侵害。時間可不會等我們。
President Trump has gone further than any President in 50 years to stand up
to the Chinese. It is time to take this strong position to the next level by
changing the U.S. policy to Taiwan. If we can’t buy it, give the Taiwanese
people the benefits of free trade and special immigration status with the
United States, before it is too late.
川普總統比50年內的所有美國總統都走得更遠。是時候透過改變美國對台灣的政策,將美
國的優勢地位提升到新的水準。如果我們無法買下台灣,就為台灣人民提供自由貿易及特
殊移民身分好處吧,才不會為時已晚。
