(中央社記者丘德真雪梨21日專電)駐奧克蘭辦事處處長陳詠韶昨天應邀於紐西蘭奧克蘭大學(University of Auckland)發表演說。她從戰略安全、全球供應鏈及民主發展等面向說明台灣對印太區域與國際社會的重要性;並且與學生就兩岸局勢及美中關係等議題交流。

陳詠韶透過駐奧克蘭辦事處發布的新聞稿指出,台灣位於第一島鏈核心位置,地處東北亞與東南亞交界,也是全球最重要海運航道之一,全球超過半數貨櫃航運經過台灣周邊海域。她引用美國名將麥克阿瑟(Douglas MacArthur)曾形容台灣為「不沉的航空母艦(unsinkable aircraft carrier)」,說明台灣在維持印太安全及區域權力平衡具重要戰略地位。

陳詠韶提到,台灣同時也是全球科技供應鏈關鍵樞紐,目前生產全球92%高階晶片及約70%的AI伺服器,在半導體、ICT及高科技產業居世界領先地位。

她指出,正當世界各國積極降低對中國依賴、重組全球供應鏈之際,台灣已成為民主國家推動供應鏈韌性與非紅供應鏈布局的重要合作夥伴。

陳詠韶強調,台灣對國際社會之所以具重要性,原因包括台灣位處第一島鏈核心、掌握全球關鍵科技供應鏈,以及作為民主社會力量的示範,「台灣即使曾長期面對威權壓力,依然能自由繁榮,並持續深化民主政治」。

陳詠韶透過新聞稿提到,台灣歷經威權統治後完成民主轉型,至今已歷經多次和平政黨輪替,是華語世界唯一成熟且完整運作的民主國家;證明民主制度在華人社會同樣可以成功扎根、穩定發展。

她提醒,中國近年持續透過軍事、外交、經濟、網路及法律戰等方式對台施壓;中國又曲解聯合國第2758號決議、將其「一中原則」與各國「一中政策」混淆,試圖藉扭曲事實而達到孤立台灣的目的,進而改變台海現狀。她強調,中華人民共和國從未統治過台灣,2758號決議也未提及台灣,更未授權中國在國際上代表台灣。

陳詠韶表示,面對中國壓力,台灣始終保持冷靜、務實與韌性,持續強化國防與社會韌性、分散市場降低對中國經濟依賴,並深化與理念相近國家合作。

陳詠韶也說,台灣始終是台海和平穩定現狀的維護者,反之中國近年頻繁軍演、否定台海中線、宣稱台灣海峽非國際水域等作為,才是區域不穩定及企圖改變現狀的根源,「台海和平穩定不只是台灣利益,更攸關印太安全、國際航運及全球科技供應鏈正常運作,絕不應被犧牲或交易」。

演講後,學生問及美國總統川普未來對兩岸政策走向、台灣是否擔心遭國際社會孤立,及中國若進一步升高對台軍事與經濟施壓等議題。陳詠韶回應表示,維持台海現狀符合美國及國際社會核心利益,長期以來獲美國跨黨派支持,包括七大工業國集團(G7)及多國曾聯合聲明,持續強調維持台海和平穩定的重要性,顯示台海和平已成國際高度共識。(編輯:張芷瑄)1150521
