中國威權主義正在擴大影響,民主國家必須團結
外交部吳部長接受 #奧地利標準報 視訊專訪,爭取歐洲民眾支持!部長說台灣與其他民主國家共享價值,但同時受到威權國家的複合式威脅及假訊息攻擊。他也談到立陶宛近期因將設立「台灣代表處」而面臨來自中國等國家的混合壓力, #歐盟及北約應採取更具體措施來聲援內部成員國,展現民主陣營不受威權脅迫的立場。
吳部長說,近期許多國家都強調兩岸和平與穩定的必要性,美國更是台灣的重要夥伴,對台灣政策具有一致性。面對中國越來越頻繁的文攻武嚇,台灣不會屈服,#我們理解退讓不會帶來和平,只有堅實的自我防衛與堅定的信念,才能捍衛國土安全。
In a recent interview with DER STANDARD , MOFA Minister Joseph Wu stated that as well as sharing #CommonValues, #Taiwan and #EU countries face the common threat of hybrid warfare and disinformation from authoritarian regimes. He also touched on the retaliatory trade measures taken against #Lithuania by China for allowing the establishment of a Taiwanese representative office in the country and called on the EU to be more forthright in supporting its member nations. Taiwan is garnering more and more international support from democratic countries, such as #Japan, the #US and #Australia.
Minister Wu also expressed that US is an important partner to Taiwan, despite the attempts in Chinese media to undermine Taiwanese trust with comparisons to Afghanistan. He characterized China’s increasingly aggressive behavior in its foreign policy an attempt to paper over internal pressures at home, particularly in #Xinjiang, #Tibet and #HongKong. Taiwan will not succumb to pressure from China and it is clear that any concessions made will not bring peace. Taiwan will safeguard its own security by ensuring we can defend ourselves.

【台美日共同守護印太安全】
美國、日本、台灣三國智庫共同主辦「2020台美日三邊印太安全對話」,包括蔡英文總統、美國前國務院助卿坎博(Kurt Campbell)、前國防部印太安全助理部長薛瑞福(Randall Schriver)、日本前駐美大使佐佐木賢一郎等重要人士都與會。
我也參與三國國會議員的對談,與羅致政委員、陳以信委員、美國聯邦眾議員貝拉(Ami Bera)以及日本眾議員鈴木馨祐,交流2020後的印太及台海情勢與願景。
結果準備厚厚一疊的英文講稿幾乎沒派上用場,講太HIGH不小心就脫稿演出....。無論如何還是提供原本的講稿跟大家參詳,一起來練習英文吧:
2020 Taiwan-US-Japan Trilateral Indo-Pacific Security Dialogue
Hello moderator, fellow panelists, I am Taiwan legislator Freddy Lim.
This year, due to the pandemic, we can only conduct this panel online. I’m still very glad to be invited to attend this event and exchange ideas with these great panelists. Here I want to share my views on today’s main topic: “Challenges and Opportunities in the Indo-Pacific Region and the Taiwan Strait in 2020 & Beyond”.
First I want to start with the conventional positioning of Taiwan under the established international order.
After WWII, the international order led by the allies dragged Taiwan into China’s civil war. Since then, Taiwan's been struggling with the “One China” dispute, unable to gain independence and world recognition like many other colonies.
Even though Taiwanese people have built an independent and democratic country after half a century of hard work, now we enjoy freedom and human rights, the international community still isolates Taiwan. One of the main reasons is obviously China.
The established international community viewed China as a huge economic opportunity, a partner that would eventually carry out political reforms and be integrated into modern international order. Under this conventional thinking, the international community is willing to help China ease and suppress many of its unpleasant problems, including the thorny "Democratic Taiwan."
This has reduced Taiwan to merely China’s “Taiwan Problem”. We’re even slandered as the “troublemaker” of the Taiwan Strait; As a result, the respect that Taiwan deserves continues to be shelved, and the active role we can play, the contributions we can make in the international community are also ignored.
However, this established international structure is now changing.
After decades of appeasement policy, and acquiring WTO membership in 2001, China’s various structural changes that the world anticipated have never taken place. On the contrary, China’s been using organized measures, such as bribing, infiltration, and hybrid-warfare, to undermine international norms. It’s worked hard to manipulate and control international organizations, in order to project its influence onto the world. These actions have been even more distinct after Xi Jinping became President of China in 2012.
Internationally, China implemented debt-trap diplomacy on many countries through the Belt and Road Initiative. It established Confucius Institutes around the world, which are basically intelligence operations in the name of culture. Chinese tech giant, Huawei also aids China’s international surveillance. Not to mention China’s relentless expansion in the South China Sea, building military bases, creating man-made islands. This year, it’s even more serious. We witnessed the long time Chinese infiltration into UN organizations. The favoritism towards China helped its cover-up, which led to the dysfunction of WHO, ultimately causing the COVID-19 global pandemic.
Domestically, the Chinese government not only failed to implement any political reforms, but it also created the “Social Credit” system with advanced technology, to surveil and control its own people; In addition, the Chinese government built the notorious “Reeducation Camps” - concentration camps in reality, in Tibet, Xingjian, where human rights conditions were already in a bad shape. Even the Hong Kong people, who were supposed to be protected by the promise of “One Country, Two Systems”, their freedom and human rights were completely destroyed by the Chinese government.
These compelling examples show that there is some serious fallacy in the conventional way of viewing China. All facts point to this: Taiwan is not the problem. China is the problem. China is the troublemaker of the Taiwan Strait. It’s the troublemaker of the Indo-Pacific region. It’s even the troublemaker of the entire world.
Under decades of collective misjudgement, China was allowed to become the most terrifying, largest digital authoritarian government in human history. It’s a new form of dictatorship. As a response, many countries have vastly changed their China policy in recent years, thus the change of international structure.
This brings me to my next point: Give Taiwan the status it deserves. Let us contribute to the international society.
In a new international structure, Taiwan shouldn’t be categorized as “China’s Taiwan Problem”. Instead, we should be one of the key countries for international cooperation, responding to the new type of dictatorship.
Taiwan has faced authoritarian China on the front line for decades. Many countries are now facing the problem of China's infiltration under its United Front programs. Taiwan started dealing with the same problems 10 to 20 years ago. We have gained a lot of experience to contribute to the international community.
Taking the COVID pandemic as an example, Taiwan has studied and analyzed the actual situation and the information provided by the Chinese government with a serious and high-vigilance attitude. Based on our experience and lessons learned from the China SARS epidemic in 2001, we decisively formed a series of epidemic preventive measures. We have handled the crisis with the principle of openness and transparency. Our people have been self-disciplined and willing to cooperate. All of this demonstrates the high level of democracy in Taiwan’s society.
After the domestic epidemic was brought under control, Taiwan has continued to share our epidemic prevention supplies and the experiences on forming epidemic prevention policies with the world.
Although Taiwan was suppressed, even excluded by China in various international organizations in the past, we’ve been doing our best to comply with the norms & regulations of international organizations. We always actively contribute every time we have the opportunity. What I want to say is, all of this proves Taiwan could be a reliable partner in the international community. We are capable of working with other countries to solve major problems. We deserve our seats and participation in international organizations.
Regarding the impact of U.S. change of administration.
Now the U. S. presidential election is over and the administration is currently under transition. Many countries, including Taiwan, are concerned about whether the new U.S. government will change its course on foreign policy, especially its China policy. However, the "Rebalance (of Asia-Pacific Region)" proposed by the Obama administration in 2011, was in fact already a strategic adjustment in response to the rise of China and possible subsequent expansion.
The Trump administration further proposed the Indo-Pacific strategy in 2017 to promote and uphold international law and regulations, aiming to ensure every country has the liberty to be free from oppression and coercion. I believe that both parties in the U.S. understand the root cause of the Indo-Pacific regional problem comes from the Chinese government. Even for the Biden administration, it will have to provide practical responses. Facing the new structure, they can’t just go back to the traditional thinking of the last century.
As for Taiwan, the pro-Taiwan acts in the U.S., such as the Asia Reassurance Initiative Act of 2018, Taiwan Travel Act, Taiwan Allies International Protection and Enhancement, were passed with strong consensus between the Republicans and the Democrats. I believe Taiwan could be a key partner to the international community and play an active role in the free world. This isn’t just the consensus of the two parties in the U.S., but will be the consensus of all democratic countries.
In a progressive aspect, the International community can benefit from a wider recognition of Taiwan.
In recent years, the performance of Taiwanese society in terms of epidemic prevention performance, human rights, gender equality, marriage equality, and open government are actually in line with many progressive ideas and visions. The ideas and visions that many democratic countries have long supported. Therefore, I’m quite optimistic that, after 2020, Taiwan can make even greater progress, on multiple levels and in broader aspects, contributing to the international community.
Finally, I want to emphasize again that to truly resolve regional problems, we need dynamic multilateral cooperation. But this must not be a return to the conventional thinking of the past century, which was "expecting" China to abide by the international order. The outdated thinking had been proved to be a failure. Otherwise there wouldn’t be a series of Chinese infiltration and aggression after its rise in recent years, which became one of the most difficult issues in the world. I believe after 2020, U.S., Japan, and Taiwan can establish a new model of international cooperation through deeper collaboration and communication. And hopefully, this model will maximize the security of the Indo-Pacific region and promote peace, stability and development in the region.
This concludes my speech, thank you all for listening.
Lastly, I’d like to express my gratitude to the moderators, my fellow panelists, and the organizers of this event.
I wish everyone peace and good health. Thank you.

【#JW部長 接受 #法國 🇫🇷《觀點周刊》專訪】
Bonjour! Ça va?

魔法部長再度登上國際媒體為台發聲啦!
#台灣不是中國瞄準的唯一國家
這專訪標題可不是隨便下的
雖然「威脅」對我們台灣人是家常便飯
但我們有責任向全世界發出警告
千萬別讓 #捕鼠器 的寓言故事成為國際現實!
這趴專訪的精華內容
小編決定一字一句誠意奉上 (往下滑)
讓我們凝聚共識 #團結一心
持續點亮台灣這座 #亞洲民主燈塔 🌞

#理念相近國家
#新南向政策
Le Point 報導連結 https://reurl.cc/zzgRRN
🔸 歐盟執委會外交暨安全政策高級代表今年6月聲稱中國「不會對世界和平造成威脅」,對台灣而言,應該不是這樣吧?
JW:對歐洲來說,中國很遙遠。但台灣距離中國不到200公里,我們強烈感受到這個威脅。台灣並不是唯一被中國威脅的國家,#日本 對東海問題已有所警覺,中國在南海將島礁軍事化的行為,也迫使 #美國 及 #東南亞國家 做出回應,更別提 #印度 和中國在邊界發生的衝突,中國還妄想對外輸出那套專制政體,看看他們對 #新疆、#西藏 和 #香港 做了什麼「好事」!
🔸 在 #港版國安法 之後,台灣有沒有可能成為下一個目標?
JW:香港發生的事是個悲劇。香港從前是東亞地區自由和法治的典範,但港版國安法使香港 #喪失言論和新聞自由,並且 #破壞法治,香港人卻無從置喙。其中第38條還適用包括台灣公民及地球上所有中國政府認為威脅到它本身政權的其他人,中國想要把它的專制政體國際化,這是必須要阻止的。
🔸 我們應該如何抵禦中國的 #戰狼外交?
JW:明確回擊「戰狼外交」才能符合我們的利益。國際社會,特別是享有共同價值的歐洲、北美和東亞國家,必須協調合作,如果我們能夠團結在這個根本價值之下,就能構成強而有力的力量,來告訴中國:你錯了!
🔸 台灣想要加入WHO,但美國卻要退出;中國在近年已經暗地掌控許多國際組織,現在才要改革,是否太晚?
JW:就算遲了,也比從來不做來的好。我們都看到了 #世界衛生組織 #國際民航組織 和 #國際刑警組織 發生了什麼事。但對我們而言,最慘痛的經驗是 #聯合國。1971年UN大會以2758號決議接受中國為會員國,將蔣介石的代表逐出聯合國,並且把PRC視為中國的唯一合法代表。中國政府扭曲這個決議,要求聯合國秘書處接受它對這個決議的詮釋,聲稱台灣已經是中國的一部分。對於這樣的說法,我們必須很清楚表示:#台灣從來就不是PRC的一部分!
#MOFA Minister Joseph Wu was recently interviewed by French news magazine Le Point. The headline of the article was “Taiwan is not the only country China is targeting,” echoing Minister Wu’s warning to our like-minded democratic partners around the world. You can find excerpts from the interview in English below!
#SharedValues #Democracy #Freedom #Taiwan
🔹 Le Point: Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy said in June that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) “is not a threat to world peace.” But is it a threat to Taiwan?
JW: From Europe’s perspective, China is far away. But Taiwan is just 200 kilometers from China, so we feel this threat very strongly. […] Japan is also aware of the threat in the East China Sea. The militarization of the South China Sea has reached a level that requires a strong response from the United States and the countries of Southeast Asia. That’s without even talking about the clashes on the border between India and China. In addition, the Chinese are trying to export their authoritarian vision of the world. Just look at what they’ve done to Xinjiang and to Tibet, and now to Hong Kong!
🔹 Le Point: After the national security law in Hong Kong, could Taiwan be the next target?
JW: What happened in Hong Kong is a tragedy. Hong Kong was once a model of freedom and the rule of law in East Asia. The National Security Law has deprived it of its freedoms, freedom of expression and freedom of the press, and destroyed its rule of law. Hong Kong people have no say. And according to Article 38, this law is supposed to apply beyond Hong Kong, that is, to me, to the citizens of Taiwan and to anyone on the planet who the Chinese government considers a threat to its regime. We must stop this. China wants to expand its authoritarian international order. And we are now worried that the Chinese government is imposing something on us as well.
🔹 Le Point: How does one defend oneself against Wolf Warrior Chinese diplomacy?
JW: Whether it’s the Chinese foreign ministry or embassies, Chinese diplomats have become very aggressive. Taiwan has known this for a long time. It’s in our interest is to respond clearly to this Wolf Warrior diplomacy. In addition, the international community, and in particular like-minded countries in Europe, North America and East Asia, must work together. If we are united in our core values, it will be enough signal forcefully to China that it is wrong.
🔹 Le Point: You want to join WHO just as the United States is leaving it. For years, China has quietly taken control of international institutions. Isn't it too late to reform them?
JW: No, it is still possible. Better late than never. […] We saw what was happening at the WHO, the International Civil Aviation Organization and Interpol. But it was what happened at the United Nations that was most painful for us to bear. When China was reinstated as a member in 1971, under UN General Assembly Resolution 2758, establishing the People's Republic of China as the sole legal representative of China and kicking the representative of Chiang Kai-shek out of the organization. That’s all this resolution said. It said nothing about Taiwan. The Chinese government twisted this resolution and imposed its interpretation on the UN secretariat, to make it say that Taiwan was already part of China. [...] We must be very clear about this: our island is not is not a part of the People's Republic of China!

People are missing my point....or perhaps I didn't make it clearly enough...I'm not saying that the people in the video are "right". I'm just saying they are the same as the majority of people in that country. So it seems odd that you have a billion people with the same culture (or attitude) .....and then you point out 20 of them and blame them for being the same as the other billion.
You think that China's 20 worst people just happened to be around that girl that day? Of course not....it's the norm. It's disgusting...but it's the norm.
Singling out 20 or so Chinese out of 1.5 billion and attacking them for not "caring" is kinda like going to hell and singling out 20 demons out of 1.5 billion and then attacking them for having horns.
I'm not saying we shouldn't fault the people in the video.....I'm actually saying we should fault them.....and all the rest of the people in China along with them. Because they're all equally as guilty.
And with regards to the question "What if it were your son?" My answer is if I let my son wander out onto a road without any supervision and get run over........I honestly don't think I'd give a fuck what happened to the driver that hit him. Because I'd be too overrun with self hate and loathing for being the cause of my own son's death.
