【沃草】美國會議員公開信「服貿對台美皆有重大不利衝擊」




以下為該公開信全文翻譯逐字稿：

The Honorable John Kerry
Secretary
U.S. Department of State
2201 C Street NW
Washington, DC 20520

Dear Secretary Kerry,
親愛的Kerry 國務卿，



I write with concerns over the Taiwanese government's recently proposed trade
deal with mainland China. Taiwanese civil groups are vehemently protesting
the government's actions, so this trade deal is controversial domestically in
Taiwan. It is also a possible step towards political and economic integration
between the two political entities, in a manner that may be disadvantageous
both to Taiwan and to the United States.

您已了解，臺灣地位很特殊。自從中國共產黨在1949年推翻國民黨，國民黨走避臺灣，中
國和臺灣自此各自宣稱對方為己方的一部份。中國則不時的威脅將以武力統一臺灣。

As you know, the status of Taiwan is unusual.  Since the Communists overthrew
the Nationalists in China in 1949, and the Nationalists fled to Taiwan, China
and Taiwan have maintained that each is a part of the other.  From time to
time, China has threatened to use military force to incorporate Taiwan.



The two political entities are vastly disproportionate in size, which has
implications for this trade deal. Economic integration between China and
Taiwan will necessarily bring more political influence in Taiwan for the
Chinese government, both directly and through the increasing power of Chinese
state-owned enterprises in the Taiwanese economy. It is clear that increasing
influence and, ultimately, annexation are the aims and stated policy of the
Chinese government.



Given that the United States has deep economic, political, and military links
with Taiwan, this trade deal increases the risks of a direct conflict between
China and the United States. On the face of it, it seems prudent to consider
these risks, and make it clear to the Taiwanese government that it bears full
responsibility for maintaining and defending its sovereignty in all respects,
including economic ones. Given the State Department's responsibility in this
area, I would appreciate it if you would share analysis of this trade deal,
and how the increased influence of China in Taiwan that it entails may impact
American interests.
