「價值共同體」下的台日關係新階段

The New Phase of Taiwan-Japan Relations under the ''Community of Shared Values''

隨著中國年來在印太地區的霸權擴張，對地緣政治與安全造成重大的衝擊與威脅，基於台灣與日本具有共同的價值觀和利益，於是在「價值共同體」與美國的引領下深化台日雙邊合作；而這種合作不僅體現在安全領域，還擴展至政治、經濟、科技和文化等多個層面，有如在安全方面，台日加強情報共享、安全對話和政策協調，共同維護台海及印太地區的穩定與和平；在政治上，台日透過議會外交、政策對話和國際倡議，共同捍衛民主、人權和法治等價值觀；在經濟和科技領域，台日透過供應鏈合作、數位經濟發展和綠色能源轉型，提升區域經濟競爭力；在文化交流方面，經由台日文化活動的多元化、教育領域與觀光旅遊高速發展，也深化台日共同的文化價值觀。因此，當前台日關係在新的「價值共同體」催化下，台日關係邁向共同維持區域穩定與和平，共同強化全球民主陣營，共同促進區域經濟整合與繁榮，共同推動科技創新與產業升級，共同增進民間文化發展融合等新階段。

In recent years, China's expansion of hegemony in the Indo-Pacific region has posed significant geopolitical and security challenges and threats. Given the shared values and interests between Taiwan and Japan, bilateral cooperation between the two countries has been deepened under the leadership of the United States within a ''community of values.'' This cooperation extends beyond the realm of security to encompass political, economic, technological, and cultural dimensions. In terms of security, Taiwan and Japan are enhancing intelligence sharing, security dialogues, and policy coordination to jointly maintain stability and peace in the Taiwan Strait and the Indo-Pacific region. Politically, through parliamentary diplomacy, policy dialogues, and international initiatives, Taiwan and Japan are working together to uphold values such as democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. In the economic and technological sectors, the two countries are enhancing regional economic competitiveness through supply chain cooperation, digital economic development, and green energy transitions. In terms of cultural exchange, the diversification of Taiwan-Japan cultural activities, alongside rapid developments in education and tourism, further deepens the shared cultural values of both nations. Consequently, under the catalyst of the new ''community of values,'' current Taiwan-Japan relations are advancing towards a new stage. This includes jointly maintaining regional stability and peace, strengthening the global democratic camp, promoting regional economic integration and prosperity, advancing technological innovation and industrial upgrading, and enhancing the development and integration of civil cultural exchanges.
