昨天,新加坡總理李顯龍在他的Facebook發了以下一段文字
其中有一段就談到了他對台灣局勢的看法:台灣一旦與大陸正面衝突將會被孤立。
在總理辦公室的官方網站上,能看到中文版本如下:
台灣局勢
華爾街日報:台灣的新政府即將上任,您認為新政府的目標會怎麼樣影響新加坡及這個區域?
李總理:馬英九領導的國民黨政府在兩個任期內,在海峽兩岸關係方面取得突破。我們希望台灣與中國大陸之間所取得的進展可以持續,甚至能再前進。不過,接下來是民進黨政府執政。目前,雙方是達成九二共識後,利用其中的「建設性模糊空間」 取得進展,可是現在這個」模糊空間」卻出現模糊點,導致兩岸關係的整個論述受到質疑。從另外一個角度來分析,過去幾年的民調結果顯示,台灣民眾的身份認同意識越來越強烈。這4、5年來的改變非常明顯,在香港也有類似的情形。這將給台灣領導人造成局限。不過,我認為台灣人也完全明白,萬一跟中國大陸正面衝突,他們將受到孤立。
華爾街日報:您是說有些人認為美國不一定會幫助台灣?
李總理:不,美國已經很明確地表態,如果台灣堅持走台獨,美國不會支持。至少,這是前幾任美國政府很明確的立場。
英文版本:
On Taiwan
WSJ: Taiwan will have new leadership shortly – how do you foresee that government’s goals might impact you in the region?
PM: With the Kuomintang (KMT) Government over two terms, Ma Ying-jeou has been able to make progress with Mainland China on cross-strait relations. We hope that what has been gained will be maintained and if possible, they make further headway beyond that. But, of course, it is now going to be a Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government. The basis on which the progress has been made has been this 『constructive ambiguity』 in the 1992 Consensus, but there is now ambiguity about that ambiguity. So, that puts the whole edifice in question. But if you look at it in terms of the attitudes and the polls which have been done in Taiwan over time, the consciousness of a Taiwanese identity has strengthened considerably. It is very perceptible even over a period of four, five years. The same has happened in Hong Kong. That constrains what any Taiwanese leader will be able to do. But at the same time, I think the Taiwanese fully understand that if they collide with Mainland China, they will be on their own.
WSJ: You mean that there is a perception that the US would not help?
PM: No, I think Americans have made your position quite clear, that if Taiwan goes for independence, you are not standing with Taiwan. At least the previous administrations made their position very clear.
