Why It Matters

安倍晉三於2021年視訊演講時提出「台灣有事就是日本有事,也是日美同盟有事」,大幅提升台灣的戰略地位。

遠景基金會執行長賴怡忠今天應邀在日本演講,回顧台日關係從戰後最陌生的鄰居,一步步走到今天成為彼此最親近友人的歷程。他特別「解鎖」日本前首相安倍晉三2021年應遠景基金會邀請視訊演講時,拋出「台灣有事就是日本有事,也是日美同盟有事」主張的背景,一舉改變了台灣的戰略位置,安倍最大的台日關係遺產,就是將台灣安全從單純的友台議題,提升為日本及日美同盟自身的安全問題。

有意思的是,民進黨台北市長參選人沈伯洋昨天也在東京談到安倍的「台灣有事論」,表示當年自己投入相關研究時,安倍這番話猶如「一劑強心針」,讓台灣關切的安全議題獲得更多國際媒體與政治人物重視。

日本台灣醫師連合會等台僑團體今天舉辦第17屆台灣主權紀念演講會,邀請賴怡忠以台日關係發展為題發表演講。賴怡忠指出,台日從最陌生的鄰居成為最親近的友人,走了超過80年。這段關係的改善不能簡化為中國威脅升高的結果,台灣民主化才是最重要的起點。

談到安倍的角色,賴怡忠指出,安倍對台灣的支持並非只有公開表態。蔡英文2016年當選總統後,安倍主動致電祝賀,還安排母親安倍洋子來台進行「媽媽外交」;台灣遭遇災害或中國禁止台灣鳳梨進口時,安倍也總在第一時間聲援。

更重要的是,在一般民眾看不到的外交領域,安倍政府也積極協助台灣拓展第三國空間,包括鼓勵日本駐外使館增加與台灣代表處互動、邀請台灣代表參與外交活動,讓台灣外交人員有機會接觸其他國家外交官,甚至在日本與第三國合作時尋找把台灣納入的可能性。賴怡忠認為,日本對台灣國際空間的協助,「即使不能說超過美國,至少不遜於美國」。

安倍真正改變台灣戰略位置的關鍵時刻,則出現在2021年。賴怡忠指出,2021年4月美日外長防長2+2會議,安倍的胞弟、前防衛相岸信夫在會中詢問了台灣有事之際日本自衛隊的角色,同年8月副首相麻生太郎提到只要定義為存亡危機事態,日本可合法出動自衛隊無須修憲。

這些主張似乎是在為安倍改變台灣戰略地位做了鋪陳,同年12月14日,安倍應遠景基金會邀請,透過視訊在「台美日三邊印太安全對話」發表演說,明確提出「台灣有事就是日本有事,也就是日美同盟有事」。

賴怡忠表示,安倍在演說中還以「Rise up, Taiwan」(台灣要崛起)鼓勵台灣。賴怡忠解讀,安倍的意思並不只是要求日本、美國或其他國家「幫助台灣」,「Rise up, Taiwan」更是在告訴台灣人,必須自己站起來、決定自己的命運,成為自己的主人。

他認為,安倍一步步將「台灣有事」從對台友好表態,轉化成日本自身的國家安全問題,也讓原本主要由美中台構成的台海安全架構,逐漸加入日美同盟乃至其他民主國家。

賴怡忠也指出,台日關係下一階段不能只停留在「感情很好」。目前最大的問題是「民間熱、官方冷」,日本已開始討論台灣有事時自衛隊可能扮演的角色,但台日之間仍缺乏常態性的軍事聯繫及高層戰略溝通機制。

他主張,未來台日政府及軍方的溝通、高層戰略對話應走向常態化、制度化,官方往來也不必為了證明雙方關係而刻意炒成政治事件。台美日合作同樣應從個案交流逐步走向制度化,包括安全合作機制、第三國合作,以及半導體、人工智慧、科學研究與經濟安全等領域。
