從美國敦請與南海仲裁裁決文探討台灣的「南海限定」角色

Taiwan’s ＂Limited Role＂ in the Calls from United States and Award of the South China Sea Arbitration (The Republic of the Philippines v. The People’s Republic of China)

台灣（也稱中華民國），以及與中國（中華人民共和國）和4個東南亞國家－菲律賓、越南、馬來西亞和汶萊－是南中國海的聲索國。但即使是最重要的盟友，美國似乎有時也忽視了台灣作為聲索方的事實。有趣的是，從美國要求台灣澄清對南海的聲索到菲律賓訴中國關於南海的仲裁案，展現台灣如何作為一個政治實體的角色，與中國既聯合又分離的情形。本文即以美國要求台灣「澄清」或「放棄」斷續線為基礎，然後整理南海仲裁裁決文中對包括中華民國、「中國的台灣當局」、台灣（人）、福爾摩沙（人）等所綜合起來的「南海限定」角色，以做為未來我國南海政策再評估基礎。 Taiwan (also known as the Republic of China), along with China (the People’s Republic of China) and four Southeast Asian countries-the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Brunei-is a claimant in the South China Sea. But even its most important ally, the United States, appears to sometimes overlook this fact. Interestingly, from Calls in the United States for Taiwan to ＂clarify＂/＂abandon＂ the dashed line to the Philippines v. China on the South China Sea arbitration case, showing how Taiwan as a political entity, and China both united and separated from the situation. This paper is the basis for the future of Taiwan’s South China Sea policy, which includes the Republic of China, the ＂Taiwan Authority of China＂, Taiwanese, Formosa and Taiwanese military.
