TAIWAN SHOULD BEWARE OF BEING A US-CHINA PAWN|學者:美國家利益優先 須防一中被當籌碼

US President-elect Trump's remarks on the One China policy has been read as him considering the policy negotiable. Under Trump's leadership, which officially begins on Jan. 20 next year, analysts believe that the US will only move to benefit itself and so Taiwan should not let its guard down. Pan-green legislators said that Trump's attitude to one China is a double-edged sword. Former President Ma Ying-jeou, on the other hand, said that before Trump officially takes office it's impossible to assess any implications. Before he has even taken office US President-elect Trump has pressed a raw nerve, the 44 year-old one China policy which is sensitive for Taiwan, China and the US. As the key piece in the puzzle, Taiwan has to look carefully at Trump's pronouncements and see if it just being used as a pawn in the US-China relationship. ==MA YING-JEOU former ROC President== Mr. Trump is not yet the US president. If he continues to use this sort of language after Jan. 20, drawing conclusions then will be more meaningful. The former president made no further comments. However, Democratic Progressive Party legislator Luo Chih-cheng said that any possible Trump denial of the one China policy was likely to be a double-edged blade. The US wants to negotiate with China, but if the one China policy is not a pre-condition, then it is a bargaining chip and Taiwan along with it. Obviously, this is not good for Taiwan. ==LUO CHIH-CHENG DPP legislator== He can accept the one China policy, but he can also reject it, depending on what deals he makes with China. So for us, of course, we don't think this is a good policy, we don't think Taiwan's place should be limited to the framework of a one China policy, as a basis for US-Taiwan interaction. Analysts say that while on the surface, if Trump does not espouse the one China policy, it may appear to be beneficial to Taiwan, but historically the US has only ever moved to benefit itself. In 1979, the establishment of relations between the US and China and the three major communiqués showed clearly the international reality of the sacrifice of Taiwan and even now, whether in trade or arms purchases, such a possibility should not be taken lightly. ==TSAI MING-YAN Prof. National Chung Hsing University Grad Inst. Intl Politics== Taiwan does not want to the one China policy, so if this is traded off with China, then it does not damage Taiwan, but what we need to note is, next time, will he trade off something that Taiwan does care about, for example any trade with Beijing that sacrifices arms purchases for Taiwan. Analysts say although Trump raised the issue, as yet he has not chosen his security or foreign affairs staff and his policy is still unclear. In Taiwan-US relations, Taiwan cannot be passive. There needs to be mutual beneficial behavior based the US' national self-interest, if there is to be any future US-Taiwan cooperation. TRANSLATED BY：CLARE LEAR 人還沒就任，就碰觸美中台敏感神經的一中政策，美國準總統川普準備將實施44年的一中政策，放上談判桌，但身為美中關係拉鋸的關鍵第三方台灣，無不放大檢視川普所言，是否將把台灣當成美中汲取國家利益的一顆棋子。 ==前總統 馬英九== 川普先生還不是美國的總統 如果他在下個月1月20號以後 還繼續做這樣的主張的話 我想那個時候評論起來 比較有意義 前總統馬英九不願評論，不過民進黨立委羅致政分析，川普拒絕一中政策，卻可能是兩面刃，一來美國重點在"對中談判"，一中政策不再是前提，但一中政策變成可能是談判籌碼，台灣當然不樂見。 ==民進黨立委 羅致政== 他可以接受一中 也可以不接受一中 完全取決於到底跟中國 談出什麼東西來 對我們來講 我們當然不認為 這個是一個好的政策 我們不認為 台灣應該受限於一中框架 來做為美台互動的一個基礎 至於川普交接團隊顧問葉望輝日前來台，掀起台灣對川普新政府期待，但國際關係學者認為，就算川普目前拒絕一中，表面上有利益台灣，但美國向來以國家利益優先，1979年中美建交和三大公報揭諸的國際現實，台灣利益被犠牲的可能性，不管是經貿或軍售，都不能不防範。 ==中興大學國際政治研究所教授 蔡明彥== 一中政策是台灣不要的 所以他這個議題上假如說 跟中國交易掉的話 並沒有傷害台灣的利益 可是我們必須要注意到的是 他下次 會不會要去交易的 是一個台灣重視的東西 比如說為了跟北京有任何的交易 去犠牲掉美國對台灣的軍售 學者提醒，川普至今議題式發言，加上目前國安外交團隊人事仍未到位，政策論述仍不明朗，但台美互動台灣不能再處於接受方，須有互利行為，才能立基美國國家利益導向的思維，撐起台美未來合作的可能性。 記者 綜合報導
