美中的戰略互動與台海安全

The Sino-U.S. Strategic Interactions and Their Impacts on Cross-Strait Security

由於中共的迅速崛起而構成美國日增的威脅感，美中的戰略競爭關係在布希第二任內有增強的趨勢。布希政府採取了系列因應的作為，包括加強與此地在傳統盟邦尤其是日本安全合作關係，加強美軍在亞太地區的軍力部署，以維持對中共的軍事優勢。面對美國日益升高的戰略壓力，中共反倒採取審慎回應的態度，並減緩美國對中共的軍事包圍壓力。美國期望中國能扮演一個負責任的利益關係人的角色，與美國共同維護全球及地區的安定與和平。中共則是採取既聯合又鬥爭，鬥而不破的兩手策略加以回應。在布希政府對中共採取制衡與交往的雙重戰略下，美方持續協助台灣強化防禦力量，也鼓勵台灣與中共恢復對話。針對美方的對華政策，中共除了採取過去慣用的增強對台軍事壓力的作為外，近來也傾向採取與美方合作共同管制台海安全的做法，對我將產生不利的影響，值得我方關注與因應。

Due to the rapid rise of China's power and threat, the Sino-U.S. strategic interactions has intensified in the Bush administration's second term. The Bush administration has strengthened its security cooperation with allies and its own military capabilities in East Asia. China on its part has taken a cautious attitude to deal with American military and political pressure. In general, the United States expects that China can be a responsible stakeholder to cooperate with it in maintaining international and regional stability. Under this policy, the Bush administration continues to help strengthen Taiwan's defense capability and encourage the resumption of cross-Strait dialogue. In facing the Bush administration's China policy, Beijing has recently proposed to collaborate with the United States to maintain the stability in Taiwan Strait, a development that deserves Taipei's attention and concern.
