【兩岸關係的現況 和 台灣與南太友邦的合作模式】
外交部吳部長在近日 #澳洲人報 刊出的專訪專文中，詳細說明兩岸關係發展現況、中國在太平洋地區擴張，以及我國與南太平洋友邦良好的合作模式等議題。
🔹兩岸關係現況 - 中華人民共和國從未統治台灣
台灣位於中國威權主義擴張的最前線，中國政府持續透過軍事威脅、假訊息、混合戰、經濟手段及阻撓台灣國際參與等方式侵擾台灣。
台灣擁有自由民主的民選政府，獨立的國防、外交及貨幣系統，為了維持台灣的民主與自由，未來將持續強化國防自衛能力，並且理念相近國家擴大合作。
🔹我國與太平洋友邦之合作 - 「台灣模式」
中國正試圖穿越台灣在內的第一島鏈，積極在太平洋地區擴張，基於地緣戰略因素圖謀掌控索羅門群島與吉里巴斯，利用債務陷阱誘使友邦對中國依賴。
台灣在吐瓦魯、諾魯、帛琉及馬紹爾群島等太平洋國家建立特殊的「台灣模式」，透過此模式提供友邦在農業、醫衛及職訓等領域的援助，嘉惠當地人民，並且成功贏得實質的友好關係。
🔸
台灣與其他理念相近國家共享民主自由價值，與中國極權主義擴張的行徑，形成鮮明對比；我國與太平洋友邦的關係不只證明台灣為國際社會的重要成員，尤其在太平洋地區更是如此，凸顯了「台灣模式」值得許多民主國家仿效。
MOFA Minister Joseph Wu was recently interviewed by The Australian’s Steve Jackson, touching on cross-Strait relations and the Taiwan model of working with our allies in the #SouthPacific.
Minister Wu pointed to the stark contrast between #Taiwan, which shares the values of #freedom and #democracy with #LikeMindedCountries, and China’s expansion of its authoritarian power wherever it ventures, including measures aimed at Taiwan, such as military threats, disinformation campaigns, economic sanctions and interference in Taiwan’s participation in the international community.
Minister Wu stated that the PRC has never ruled Taiwan, which has a democratically elected government and independent national defense, foreign relations, and monetary systems, and that Taiwan is prepared to defend its freedom and democracy against China, so will continue to strengthen its military defense capability and cooperation with like-minded countries.
Minister Wu also called the world’s attention to China’s attempts to push beyond the first island chain and manipulative actions in the Solomon Islands and Kiribati as part of its geopolitical strategy, trapping countries with #DebtDiplomacy.
