◎ 王輝生

九月廿七日《日本經濟新聞》以三分之二版面報導川習會,主標題是「美中『華麗儀式』演出」,副標則是「台灣、伊朗、經濟,火種悶燒」。兩句話放在一起,恰好為這場備受矚目的峰會作了註腳:場面極盡華麗,實質成果卻相當有限。

川普親自迎接習近平,白宮舉行國宴,兩國元首茶敘,最後還一同參觀美國國家檔案館。從紅地毯到國宴,從外交辭令到歷史巡禮,處處營造美中和解氣氛。然而華麗儀式掩蓋不了雙方在台灣、伊朗、AI及經貿問題上的根本分歧。路透也以「少有進展跡象」概括峰會結果。

其中最值得台灣注意的,仍是台海。

習近平要求美方「反對台獨」,企圖使華府從原來的「不支持台獨」更向北京靠攏。然而會談後,全程參與的美國駐中國大使龐德偉明確表示,美國對台政策「沒有改變」,不改變措辭,也不改變立場;並重申對《台灣關係法》、三公報及六項保證的承諾:「我們希望台海和平,不希望脅迫,也不支持獨立。」

川普亦於九月廿七日對媒體表示,他與習近平並沒有花很多時間討論台灣議題,並稱習近平「非常清楚」他對這一議題的看法。

換言之,北京把話說得很重很滿,華府卻沒有因此跨過原有政策界線。這也說明川習會雖然表面華麗,但華而不實,熱鬧有餘,成果有限,台海這根最敏感的火種仍在悶燒。

另一個耐人尋味之處,是歷史。美中共同文件提到二戰期間兩國曾是「同盟國」。但一九四五年抗戰勝利時,中華人民共和國尚未成立;當時與美國並肩作戰、代表中國的政府,正是目前在台灣的中華民國。川習會後高市早苗隨即接到川普的電話,在通話中她向川普強調,日本與美國「如今已成為彼此最可信賴的同盟國」,並再次確認日美的密切合作。

白宮國宴的插曲更饒富意味。席間曾響起台灣歌手首先灌錄、後由鄧麗君唱紅的〈月亮代表我的心〉,軍樂隊並演唱曾在香港抗爭運動時的主題曲《悲慘世界》的〈你可聽見人民在唱歌?〉及〈只待明日〉;而且將具代表性的美國半導體與AI巨頭安排在國宴的主桌上、與習近平夫婦平起平坐,而其中的黃仁勳與蘇姿丰皆為台灣出身者,更格外引人遐思。這些選曲及安排貴賓究竟有無政治寓意,外界可以各自解讀,不宜過度推論;但確實已引發議論。

川普最後又陪同習近平走進國家檔案館,觀看《獨立宣言》、《憲法》與《權利法案》等美國獨立建國的歷史文獻。這一幕或許比許多外交辭令更具象徵性:美中可以握手,可以國宴,可以談生意,但兩國制度、價值與戰略利益的巨大差異,並未因此消失。

所以,這場川習會不是「雨過天晴」,而更像雷聲暫歇,火種未熄。華麗儀式可以營造友好氣氛,卻無法一夕化解台海、經貿與安全上的結構性矛盾。這恐怕才是此次川習會留給台灣與日本最值得觀察的訊息。

Open Questions

  • 國宴選曲與嘉賓安排是否具有特定的政治寓意?
  • 未來美中在AI與經貿上的分歧將如何發展?
