Why It Matters

備受矚目的「川習二會」在美國舉行,雙方就經貿、歷史觀及地緣政治展開交鋒。

Font size

備受矚目的「川習二會」,在看似大放異彩的外交大戲中落幕。美國總統川普親赴空軍基地迎接,紅地毯一路鋪開,種種超規格接待,給予習近平在鏡頭前的場面,顯然是風光無限。

有趣的是,這張長長的紅毯,頓時成了台北「在地協力者」集體合唱「中華民族偉大復興」的舞台。他們一面數落美國國力衰退、大讚中國崛起,一面回頭來指責賴清德總統「拒不坐下來談」,甚至膝反射式地向政府叫囂應變。這番急不可耐的演出,好似不讓華府獨佔「熱鬧」。

問題是,外交交手,向來要看的是「門道」。習近平這次帶著「東升西降」的宏大企圖而去,急切地想刻畫出「一等大國」的傲視姿態,然而,從他在公開場合的幾次致詞,暴露出的卻是北京當局過度自信的虛弱。

例如,習近平倡言「沒有中美合作,世界許多問題很難解決」,看似拉高格局,實則是挾「建設性戰略穩定關係」之名,威脅美方「你必須配合我,世界才會穩定」。他反覆嘟囔著「修昔底德陷阱」,等於警告美國若不接受中方設定的遊戲規則,強化競爭與對抗將讓華府吃不消。但殘酷的事實是,當前全球面臨的諸多危機,從威權體制的野心擴張到不講理的過剩產能傾銷,中國本身就是那個「亟需被解決的問題」。這種帶有強烈狼性味的言語,不僅引喻失義,更凸顯了這個政權粗魯不文的底色。

我們來看看川普如何回應。習近平一廂情願地將「中華民族偉大復興」與「美國再次偉大」強行並列,自以為平起平坐,川普選擇在國宴場合給了一記穿腸毒辣的輕描淡寫:他冷不防提到伯羅奔尼撒戰爭,暗示歷史上最後獲勝的是斯巴達,而不是那個自詡文明復興的雅典。這一句話,豈不是瞬間戳破了習近平的「復興」幻象。

美國的精明,還體現在史觀的角力上。美方在行程中,刻意提及二戰期間的「美中合作」,但凡了解歷史者皆知,當時與美國並肩作戰、付出血淚代價的是中華民國,共產黨根本毫無份額。華府公然拿這段歷史出來「懷舊」,擺明是在糗北京的偽造史觀——除非美國國家檔案館能把裡頭的中華民國紀錄全數抹去,否則這種「美中進展」不過是讓中華人民共和國自討沒趣。

在實質經貿上,習近平高談「向世界開放市場」、要美國「善待中國企業」,更是與全球現狀嚴重脫節。如今全球產業正因中國不透明的遊戲規則、智慧財產權的恣意掠奪,以及國家補貼式的削價鯨吞而加速撤出,習近平指責受到不平等待遇,反倒暴露了他對真實世界局勢的完全漠視。

川普在鏡頭前展現了資深政客的寬容大氣,但這份大氣背後卻是機鋒盡露。對於習近平試圖藉機修理日本與台灣的冷箭,川普甚至連一聲都不願搭腔,直接當作空氣。會後結算,北京最迫切想要的關稅降低,華府一吋未讓;高科技與AI治理,美方對於中方依舊極度不信任。

這場「川習二會」,如果掀開了紅毯與尊榮,實質卻是一場精密佈局的「關門打狗」。習近平帶著雄心而來,最終卻連一項實質紅利也沒帶走,反而當面聽了一堂深沉的史觀與民主課。言習近平徹底敗在骨子裡,誰曰不對。

Open Questions

  • 中美未來是否會進一步加徵關稅?
  • 高科技與AI治理領域會否達成臨時協議?

The Legislative Yuan's third reading of the unmanned vehicle bill stirs controversy. Scholars worry that excluding commercial sales may narrow Taiwan-US military cooperation.

The Legislative Yuan passed the Kuomintang version of the Unmanned Vehicle Regulations in the third reading at the end of last month. The Kuomintang group advocated supporting regular arms purchases and strictly reviewing commercial sales. Scholars analyzed and pointed out that both arms sales and commercial sales are subject to US control. Excluding commercial sales may narrow Taiwan-US military cooperation and be detrimental to the rapidly iterative demand for drone combat capabilities.
