Talk to us a bit about the timing off this very sharp rhetoric.

跟我們談談這個非常尖銳的言論的時機。

Why now?

為什麼是現在？

I think that is because off the change of government in Washington, the Chinese government would have expected or hoped that the Biden administration would reversed US policy on Taiwan.

我想這是因為華盛頓政府換屆後，中國政府會預期或希望拜登政府扭轉美國的臺灣政策。

The Biden administration has not done so, so the Chinese want to fire a short across the about off the Americans as it were.

拜登政府並沒有這樣做，所以中國人要像對待美國人一樣，對著對面的約關發射短。

And how does the Americans How does the Biden administration intend to deal exactly with China, especially on the question of Taiwan?

而美國人究竟打算如何與中國打交道，尤其是在臺灣問題上？"拜登政府 "打算如何處理？

Do you buy?

The administration is fairly clear that it will take a robust positions on Taiwan, but it is willing to negotiate and work with the Chinese if the Chinese are willing to reciprocate and work with the Americans.

政府相當明確地表示，將在臺灣問題上採取強硬立場，但如果中國人願意對等地與美國人合作，政府願意與中國人談判和合作。

Now the US is bound by the Taiwan Relations Act to essentially provide Taiwan with the weapons to defend itself against any Chinese attack, but not to necessarily come to Taiwan's aid militarily.

現在美國受《臺灣關係法》的約束，基本上是向臺灣提供武器，以抵禦中國的任何攻擊，但不一定要在軍事上來幫助臺灣。

Do you think it is time potentially the US consider demanding that okay, The Taiwan Relations Act does not required the United States government to immediately interfere on behalf off Taiwan if Taiwan should be attack.

你認為現在是時候了，如果臺灣受到攻擊，美國可能會考慮提出要求，臺灣關係法並沒有要求美國政府立即代表臺灣進行干預。

But if you look at the former U.

但是，如果你看看以前的U。

S Republic of China or Taiwan Mutual Defense Pact off 1955.

中華民國或臺灣共同防衛條約

The provision off that treaty also does not trigger an immediate American military response.

If Taiwan should come under attack, it really immediately requires the U.

如果臺灣應該受到攻擊，真的馬上需要美國。

S government to take the matters to Congress.

S政府將此事提交國會。

It is very similar under the Taiwan Relations Act, so it is not really necessary for the Americans to change policy and say that, yes, if Taiwan comes under attack, we definitely will immediately interfere.

根據《臺灣關係法》的規定是非常類似的，所以美國人其實沒有必要改變政策，說，是的，如果臺灣受到攻擊，我們肯定會立即進行干涉。

Um, the situation is already under control.

嗯，情況已經被控制了。

But then, given that there is no commitment off immediate US help militarily on the side off Taiwan, how does Taiwan defend itself in the event off an invasion or, um, attack?

但是，既然美國沒有承諾在軍事上立即向臺灣方面提供幫助，那麼，如果臺灣受到入侵或，嗯，攻擊，臺灣如何自衛呢？

Well, the refusal off the Americans to be completely clear is intended to deter any government in Taiwan from pushing the envelope too far and, for example, formally assert day jury independence, which which would trigger a Chinese military invasion.

美國人拒絕說清楚是為了阻止臺灣政府走得太遠，比如說，正式宣稱日軍獨立，這將引發中國的軍事入侵。

But anything short off that the Taiwanese will know that the Americans have very, very strong strategic interest in making sure that Taiwan's does not change hand and become Chinese on the main reason there is because if Taiwan were taken by the Chinese by falls, with the Americans being deterred or defeated.

但任何短關，臺灣人都會知道，美國人有非常非常強的戰略利益，確保臺灣的不轉手，成為中國人就主要原因有，因為如果臺灣被中國人拿下的瀑布，與美國人的威懾或失敗。

Then the Japanese will no longer trust the Americans.

那麼日本人就不會再相信美國人了。

Protection off Japan's security and the entire Americans into Pacific strategy would collapse.

保護日本的安全和整個美國人的太平洋戰略將崩潰。

And that is the reason why three chance off the Americans not interfering, is in fact relatively low right.

而這也是為什麼美國人不干涉的三個機會，其實是比較低的原因吧。

We'll leave it there for the time being.
