第五屆柏林台灣會議於柏林國家圖書館舉行,探討台灣在外交、媒體及經濟領域的處境。
(中央社記者林尚縈柏林14日專電)第5屆「柏林台灣會議」12日至13日舉行,美國學者葛來儀在會上指出,中國正透過多種手段,在國際間系統性孤立台灣。前彭博駐台記者何貴森也以自身經驗為例指出,曾因在報導中以「國家」稱呼台灣,導致彭博在中國的營運許可受到威脅。
第五屆「柏林台灣會議」(Berlin Taiwan Conference)本週在柏林國家圖書館舉行,今年以「Focus on Taiwan」(聚焦台灣)為主題。前總統蔡英文透過預錄影片致詞,分享台灣公民社會活力;德國外交部亞太司總司長哈特曼(Frank Hartmann)也出席演說。
首場座談以「台灣在世界上的關鍵角色」為題,邀請美國德國馬歇爾基金會(GMF)印太計畫主任葛來儀(Bonnie Glaser)、資深美籍駐台記者何貴森(Chris Horton)、對中政策跨國議會聯盟(IPAC)執行長裴德倫(Luke de Pulford),及德國國會議員福克曼(Johannes Volkmann),從外交、媒體、國會及經濟角度探討台灣國際處境。
去年出版台灣主題著作「幽影之國」(Ghost Nation)的前彭博(Bloomberg)駐台記者何貴森指出,中國長期透過政治與商業壓力影響國際媒體。他以自身經驗為例表示,曾在一篇台美海巡合作報導中以「國家」稱呼台灣,隨後遭北京強烈抗議,彭博在中國的營運許可甚至受到威脅。
何貴森說,國際媒體經常以「自治島嶼」、「島嶼民主政體」等詞彙描述台灣,卻不會以相同方式稱呼英國或澳洲。他認為,這些用語淡化台灣的國家地位,也反映中國對國際新聞報導的影響。
葛來儀進一步說明,中國正「系統性孤立」台灣,透過外交影響力,使部分國家限制台灣航班使用相關空域、拒絕承認台灣護照、阻礙台灣代表參與國際會議,甚至施壓企業更改台灣名稱,全面限縮台灣的國際活動空間。
她批評,國際社會對中國施壓的反制仍然不足,建議七大工業國集團(G7)建立共同應對機制,並設立企業保密通報管道,協助遭受中國政治及商業壓力的國家與企業。
談及美國期中選舉結果對台灣政策的影響,葛來儀表示,川普總統可能因國會政治版圖改變而受到一定制約,但行政部門仍掌握相當大的權力,尤其在關稅政策及與中國國家主席習近平的互動方面。她直言,川普過去部分涉台言論相當令人擔憂。
德國國會議員福克曼則從自己選區的經濟利益切入,強調台海和平與德國產業及民眾生活密切相關。他引述德國國會近期聽取的一項研究指出,若台海爆發軍事衝突,歐洲國內生產毛額(GDP)可能萎縮8%至10%,衝擊甚至超過全球金融危機及COVID-19疫情。
會議現場交流熱絡。駐德代表處指出,兩天共舉行7場座談,涵蓋台灣國際角色、地方選舉、經貿科技合作、校際交流、全社會韌性及旅德台灣人生活等議題,吸引來自10餘國、約200人與會,包括政界人士、學者、企業界及公民社會代表熱情參與。
