写得不错啊,不知道是谁写的,基本也符合我的认知,总结一下,为什么美国care台湾:
1,历史原因:共同反共的老朋友
2,老大的责任:放弃了国交,但仍有责任保护台湾的安全
3,共同的价值观:民主自由社会
4,老大的信用:放弃台湾无疑会让其他国家失去对美国的信任
5,太平洋秩序:维护美国现有的领导地位,再怎么也不能让一个专制威权的国家主导
另外这是14年前的文章,现在的中共比14年前更具威胁,更加法西斯化,美国也逐渐从模糊战略转向清晰化。如果你同意这篇文章的观点,美帝可不是要阻止中国崛起,正如文章所说:
“To many US strategists, the Taiwan issue therefore is not about "containing" China, keeping China divided, or preventing China's rise, as many Chinese assert, but about ensuring that as it does rise, Beijing conforms to its own stated goal of doing so peacefully, through dialogue rather than threats, through win-win solutions rather than coercive force.”
