中美競合下的兩岸關係：以美國拜登政府定義下的中國挑戰談起

Cross-Strait Relations under U.S.-China Coopetition:Beginning with the China challenge as defined by the Biden Administration in the United States

圍繞在美國政府定義下的「中國挑戰」，早已導致當下的台美中三方關係，正處於非常不利的位置。尤其是，當中美強勢競合的力量投射臺灣時，兩岸又陷入有無「九二共識」的爭辯困境中。在缺乏政治互信的情勢下，臺灣面對競合壓力只會日益強烈，是否已然掉入中美競合的「誘餌陷阱」，讓臺灣的處境更為艱難？為避免臺灣陷入中美強勢競合陷阱，筆者試圖提出「向中間靠」（the midpoint of a line）的「九二共識」新思維，其論證基礎，在於此時兩岸進行政治對話的困難，導致定紛止爭的各項協定，亦或是「和平協議」的遙遙無期。此時更應由「效益」面來看待「九二共識」，也就是在美中強勢競合之間，操作「九二共識」的槓桿運用，避免滑入中美競合的各項陷阱中。

The ''China challenge'' defined by the US government has long led to the current trilateral relationship between Taiwan and the United States and China, which is in a very unfavorable position. In particular, when the powerful and competing forces of China and the United States were projected on Taiwan, the two sides of the strait were caught in the dilemma of controversy over whether or not there was a '' 92 consensus.'' In the absence of political mutual trust, Taiwan will only face the pressure of competition and cooperation, has it fallen into the ''booby trap'' of Sino-US competition and cooperation, making Taiwan's situation more difficult? In order to avoid Taiwan falling into the trap of strong competition and cooperation between China and the United States, the author tried to put forward a new thinking of the ''92 consensus'' of ''the midpoint of a line'' and its argument is based on the difficulty of cross-strait political dialogue at this time, resulting in the settlement of various agreements or ''peace agreements'' that are far away. At this time, the '''92 Consensus'' should be viewed from the perspective of ''efficiency'', that is, between the strong competition between the United States and China, the lever use of the ''92 Consensus'' should be operated to avoid sliding into the traps of Sino-US competition and cooperation.
