有了〈台灣保證法〉
或許，這是華府再次為自己鬆綁的一步 美國國會通過《台灣保證落實法案》，表面上是深化美台關係，實際上更像是在為 美國自己的利益 打開一扇更好用的工具門。 核心其實很簡單： 在與中國的大國競爭裡，美國需要更多彈性、更多籌碼。 台灣，仍是那個關鍵節點 半導體是命脈。 美國解除與台灣官方互動的自我限制後，能更直接地插手、協作、保護這條供應鏈。 不為別的，只因這牽動了它的經濟與國防。 不確定性則是另一種力量。 當美國不再被舊規則綁住，北京也就更難判斷底線。 這種模糊，反而成了外交工具。 同時，美國也順勢向日韓澳等盟友展現 「我們站在民主朋友這邊」 這是印太盤面上必要的訊號。 對內政治與對外談判，兩邊都剛好 這類法案，對任何崇尚「力量談判」的美國總統來說，都很好用。 可以拿來對北京施壓； 可以當作貿易、安全談判的籌碼； 也能向國內交代：「美國不接受別人指揮我們跟誰往來。」 不論誰執政，這種姿態在美國國內政治裡，都很吃香。 最後 《台灣保證落實法案》並不是「對台加碼」的浪漫，而更像是華府再次把工具箱打開。 為了自己的國安、自己的利益、自己的競爭局勢。 至於台灣？ 依舊在那個重要的位置上， 而美國，只是讓自己能更自由地使用它。 Read more
