有外媒引述知情人士報導,指美國官員認為習近平指示軍方在2027年前做好武力奪台準備,並指若民進黨在2028年選舉中連續第四次執政,北京可能更傾向使用武力。此報導引發國際關注兩岸軍事對峙風險。
有外媒引述知情人士報導,指有美國官員認為,中國國家主席習近平雖指示軍方在2027年前做好必要時武力奪取台灣的準備,並指若民進黨在2028年選舉中連續第四次執政,北京可能會愈來愈傾向使用武力。美國聖湯瑪斯大學國際研究講座教授葉耀元對此發文表示,這個美國官員到底是誰呢,是否真的存在呢?且報導一方面說中國2027年的時候並不具備有能力犯台,然後又說2028賴清德贏了會很凶險,他也直言自己認為,「沒有任何事情比台灣的主權與民主更為重要。不然你問問香港?」
葉耀元在臉書發文提出提出三點評論。其一,「我蠻想知道這個美國官員是誰的,因為事實上美國基本上不會對他國內政進行公開表態。所以這個美國官員到底是誰呢,是否真的存在呢?"
請繼續往下閱讀...
其二,整篇報導出現了一個很有趣的邏輯問題。一方面說中國2027年的時候並不具備有能力犯台,然後又說2028賴清德贏了會很凶險,請問2028年該年度習近平是會挖到金山銀山還是外星人的科技,讓中國軍事實力跟準備突飛猛進嗎?
其三,中國對台灣加強武力威嚇,本來就不是什麼新聞,重點是在面對中國的暴力時,台灣是要增強嚇阻抵抗中國,還是直接親中投降算了。葉耀元也強調,「不管怎麼選,都只會選前者而已。當然我知道不是所有臺灣人都會選前者,但我認為沒有任何事情比台灣的主權與民主更為重要。不然你問問香港?」
