國慶大會今天(10日)上午登場,總統賴清德以「台灣 山巔之城,地上的鹽,世上的光」為題發表演說。日本政治學者小笠原欣幸認為,賴清德演說基調溫和,沒有令人意外之處。他特別提到,賴清德近期支持度上升,且九合一地方選舉的情勢朝向對執政黨民進黨有利的方向發展,雖可批評演說盡是漂亮話,但從上述背景脈絡及執政黨戰略角度來看,這是一場平穩且成功的國慶演說。

小笠原欣幸今日在臉書發文分析賴清德演說內容,他表示,這次演說與過去兩次的演說相比,對中國威脅僅一筆帶過,並未特別提及歷史觀,僅提及總統直選30週年。若單看國防與國際政治相關的用語,雖然與過去兩次相同,但在鋪陳與強調的方式上有微小的差異,能看出極力打造軟性形象的痕跡。相較於前年(2024年)直接表明「中華人民共和國與中華民國互不隸屬」的演說,這次的變化相當明顯。

關於美中關係,賴清德提及「應尊重台灣人民生存的權利」,這對台灣而言是理所當然的發言,並無新意;倒不如說,可以視為比以往的論述更為克制。減少對國際情勢的論述,可能是意識到美國總統川普不確定性的風險,為了避免造成新的刺激所產生的判斷。

此外,演說中強調的是經濟成長的成果,再次提出了今年經濟成長率將突破11%、人均 GDP將達到4萬5332美元,達到10年前兩倍的目標。政權致力於加薪、減稅與增加福利,具體提出了0到18歲每月5000元的育兒補助、改善托育與職場環境、育兒家庭的住房對策、普發1萬元、提高農民津貼與國民年金等各項給付、調高軍公教薪資,以及高齡者對策等。

小笠原欣幸指出,這些措施皆反映出經濟成長帶來的財政充裕。共享經濟成長成果的大方向,基本上會受到大眾歡迎。關於台灣的民主,過去往往只在與中國威權主義的對比下被討論,但本次演說展現了一種思維:能夠解決問題並協助改善人民生活的能力,正是防止威權主義侵蝕的民主力量。

小笠原欣幸特別提到,作為演說的背景,或許是意識到最近賴總統的支持度上升,且九合一地方選舉的情勢朝向對執政黨民進黨有利的方向發展。雖然也可以批判演說盡是漂亮話、對解決現實中的朝野對立毫無幫助,但從背景脈絡來看,並沒有必要在國慶演說中刻意引發爭議。這可以說是汲取了去年在大罷免抗爭中強硬攻勢卻以失敗告終的教訓。若從執政黨戰略的角度來看,這可說是一場平穩且成功的國慶演說。

Open Questions

  • 演說中的各項民生福利政策後續落實情況為何?
  • 執政黨民進黨在接下來地方選舉的實際表現如何?

So embarrassing! Han Guoyu went off-script and said that he was "the 51st state in the United States and the 5th largest island in Japan"... The sidelines were filled with guests from the United States and Japan

Legislative Yuan Hanguo-yu gave an unscripted speech at the National Day Convention, criticizing some people who want to turn Taiwan into the 51st state of the United States, the fifth largest island of Japan, or the 31st province of China. Zhang Yumeng, chairman of the Taiwan Youth Generation Community Association, denounced the fact that the audience was filled with distinguished guests from the United States, Japan and allied countries. This move was an irreparable diplomatic disaster.
