自由開講》川習會落幕 台灣的主權課題才開始~

從國際外交現實看台灣主權與民主選舉的關聯

Quick Look

川習會落幕,作者認為台灣未來不應寄託於大國外交,而應回歸民主制度。透過即將到來的九合一選舉,台灣人民應展現主體性,強調台灣的命運掌握在公民手中,而非國際談判桌上的協議。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

川習會期間涉及歷史文件討論,引發對台灣地位的國際法理關注。11月28日台灣即將舉行九合一地方選舉。

川普與習近平的會面結束了。幾天來,新聞版面塞滿了貿易、關稅、科技與地緣政治。但對台灣而言,真正值得深思的,或許不是這場會談談成了什麼,而是它背後一個更根本的問題:台灣的未來,究竟應該由誰決定?

川習會期間,兩人曾一同參訪美國國家檔案局。雖有外媒引述華府消息指出,原行程可能涉及《望廈條約》與1951年《舊金山和約》等歷史文件,細節雖未獲全面證實,卻也意外挑動了敏感的歷史神經。

歷史從來不只是過去。以《舊金山和約》第二條為例,日本放棄對台澎之一切權利卻未指定歸屬,多年來一直是國際討論台灣地位的文獻之一。北京有自己的歷史敘事,但國際法理與歷史記憶不會因單方面的重複宣稱而改變。

然而,大國外交的本質是利益與現實。川習會後,現狀並未因一場峰會而徹底翻轉,這提醒我們:台灣的安全與未來,絕不能全然寄託在任何外國大國的善意或會議桌上的片刻交鋒。

我們常把主權與安全視為冰冷的國際法或國防問題,但它們最終都會回歸到一個核心——台灣人有沒有能力決定自己的命運?這個答案,從來不會寫在大國的會議紀錄裡。

值得注意的是,11月28日的九合一地方選舉即將登場。有人認為地方選舉只談民生內政,與兩岸外交無關;但換個角度看,這正是台灣民主最珍貴的日常。一個國家的主體性,不只展現在國際談判桌上,更存在於每一次公開辯論、政黨競爭與和平的選票交接中。

頻繁而健全的民主選舉,是台灣向世界證明「我們是誰」最強而有力的實踐。它向國際社會傳遞了一個清晰訊號:台灣可以有不同意見、可以批評政府,但決定這座島嶼走向的,永遠是台灣人民自己。

川習會可以落幕,國際局勢也將不斷變化。但只要我們能守住民主制度、提升防衛韌性,並對這塊土地負起集體責任,我們就握有最關鍵的主權底牌。

歷史文件不能替台灣人投票,川習會更無法替我們決定命運。台灣的主權不在北京的敘事裡,也不在華府的桌上,而在每一位公民手中。下一頁的故事,由我們自己寫。

The essence of U.S. AI hegemony and digital colonization and its global harm

Artificial intelligence is profoundly rewriting human civilization, but the United States uses it as a strategic tool to maintain global hegemony. Ye Xin, a researcher at the Ministry of Commerce Research Institute, wrote in an article that the United States uses words such as "freedom" and "security" as a guise to engage in data plunder, technological blockade, rule hegemony and cognitive manipulation. This exposes its digital colonial nature and causes serious harm to global development and the United States itself.
