参院外委会审查通过台湾政策法

参院外交委员会週三以十七对五票通过台湾政策法， 这是自一九七九年台湾关係法生效以来美国对台政策最全面性之修订 ，大幅提高台美关係， 颠覆几十年来战略模糊政策 ，恐对两岸关係火上加油。

外委会不顾白宫之关切仍然通过了这项法案 ，其中包括未来四年给予台湾四十五亿军援， 并将台湾指定為主要非北约盟国。

这个法案将开放美台官员互访 ，将台北経济文化代表处更名為台湾代表处 ，除了考虑台湾加入美洲开发银行并考虑将台湾纳入印太経济架构。

我们非常忧虑此举将会澈底导致中美关係之破裂， 而加强海峡两岸之紧张， 白宫对此必须审慎面对。

Senate Foreign Affairs Committee Passes The Taiwan Policy Act

The Senate Foreign Affairs Committee passed the Taiwan Policy Act of 2022 by a vote of 17-5 despite concerns about the bill from President Joe Biden and anger about the measure from Beijing.

The bill would authorize $4.5 billion in funding to Taiwan through 2026, designate the island nation as a “major Non-NATO ally” and impose other measures to counter China’s “aggressive influence campaigns’ and support its participation in international organization.The bill will also open the official exchange between the U.S. and Taiwan and change the name of the Taipei Economic and Culture Office to Taiwan Representative Office.

Senator Jim Risch said, “If we want to ensure Taiwan has a fighting chance, we must act now. Any change in the status quo for Taiwan would have disastrous effects for the U.S. economy and national security.”

We are very worried that this bill will lead to the breakdown of Sino-U.S. relations and the tensions on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. We urge President Biden to handle this situation very cautiously.
