中共對台統戰的新策略



 

  美國軍事專家Peter Brookes向蔡明憲立委明示,希望陳水扁政府加強防禦系統,提昇台灣的武力,以防中共突然犯台。

  其實中共現階段以反恐怖活動為提示,做的是反台獨、反獨台、反疆獨、反藏獨、反宗教、反民主自由、反媒體的消滅分離份子之軍事行為,美國與歐盟對此深感不以為然。解放軍的威權在表面好像成為弱勢,但是內在的整頓與現代化的組裝,其戰力過去從所未有。中共於2005年為止,若無內亂,必然可以短時間消滅台灣。

  而中共為了防堵美國干預台海平衡,正策動台灣統派人士,以反美反軍售為手段,來迷惑台灣人民,認為美國介入台灣戰力,會是未來的大戰。依各方消息來源,中共於新黨泡沫化之後,有關哈共、附共的效果,成為統派的夢靨,附和中共的傳聲筒,在台灣已經沒有大的市場。台灣人民享有的民主自由空間,不會因為大陸的投資熱、統派看衰台灣,而有所改變。

  最近我們看到台灣的專家開始以反美帝干涉台灣軍力,做為主題在電視或平面媒體做不公平的批評,種種跡象與中共對台的統戰策略的確相符,我們不禁要問台灣的統派得到中共那些好處?

  台灣政府得到美方較好的禮遇,其原因不在於台灣的地位比以前更重要,而是台灣的民主化趨向成熟的結果。在中共一中原則的高壓威迫之時,台灣人還能展現成熟的民主判斷,單單這一點就值得全世界到台灣來瞻仰。

  自扁政府成立以來,台灣的黑金選舉受到嚴重打擊,泛藍的配套包金方法,不但被打破,而泛紅的中共牌,亦全然被消化,選舉暴力比之以前少之又少,是世界民主選舉的新典範。如果這種民主台灣不值得保護,得不到歐美的關愛,則國際普世價值的政治道德必然崩解,聯合國所推展的民主、自由、人權,就毫無意義。

  現在就讓台灣民眾看看誰在附共,而反美軍售、反台灣戰力、反美國對台禮遇,這批人滾蛋吧!

US urges military reform

NATIONAL DEFENSE: Sources in the US say the Bush administration is still keen to boost Taiwan's military but is concerned that it is not being reformed fast enough

STAFF REPORTER IN WASHINGTON


US government officials are urging Taiwan to reform its national defense, sources in the US said.

Peter Brookes, deputy assistant secretary of defense for Asian and Pacific affairs, and Stephen Yates, assistant to US Vice President Dick Cheney, stressed the need for reform in a recent meeting with former DPP lawmaker Michael Tsai (蔡明憲) in the US.

They asked Tsai to pass the message on to President Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁).

The administration of US President George W. Bush is concerned about the imminent reshuffle in Taiwan's military and whether the Ministry of National Defense will be led by a civilian, as two recently passed defense-reform laws stipulate, the sources said.

Bush-administration officials have expressed a willingness to boost Taiwan's military capabilities and enhance bilateral military exchanges. But the US also expects Taiwan to reform its military structure as soon as possible.

According to sources, Tsai, who lost his bid to become Taichung City mayor on Dec. 1, visited Washington on Dec. 18. The US believes Tsai, who has long paid close attention to national defense, might be appointed to the Cabinet to help Chen deal with military issues.

As well as visiting Brookes and Yates, who are both familiar with Taiwan's affairs, Tsai called on Michael Pillsbury, a defense expert with the Net Assessment Office, and Kurt Campbell, senior vice president at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

High-ranking US officials and defense experts regard the success or failure of Taiwan's defense reforms as key to US-Taiwan military exchanges, sources said.

The experts are apparently also concerned about factional conflicts in Taiwan's military.

Sources said Tsai kept a low profile on his trip and afterward visited former premier and defense minister Tang Fei (唐飛) for advice on defense reforms.

Peter Rodman, the assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs, also stressed the need for effective reform of the military in a recent meeting with Chen Chien-jen (程建人), Taiwan's de facto ambassador to Washington, according to the sources.

The US officials said the Bush administration wants to help Tai-wan boost its self-defense capabilities, but that cannot be done without satisfactory military exchanges between the two countries.
