Re: [新聞] 拜登時代雜誌專訪重申不排除動武保台 先

Google "time magazine biden taiwan" 限制為 新聞 最近幾天的

CIA director Bill Burns says the President Xi Jinping of China has ordered
the Chinese military to be ready by 2027 to conduct a successful invasion
of Taiwan. You said on multiple occasions that you would use US forces to
defend Taiwan. What does that mean? Is it boots on the ground? What,
what shape would that take?

中央情報局局長比爾·伯恩斯表示，中國國家主席習近平已命令中
國軍隊在 2027 年之前做好成功入侵台灣的準備。您多次表示將動
用美軍保衛台灣。這意味著什麼？是地面部隊嗎？會採取什麼形態？

Biden: It would depend on the circumstances. You know, by the way, I've
made clear to Xi Jinping that we agree with—we signed on to previous
presidents going way back—to the policy of, that, it is we are not seeking
independence for Taiwan nor will we in fact, not defend Taiwan if they if,
if China unilaterally tries to change the status. And so we're continuing to
supply capacity. And, and we've been in consultation with our allies in the
region.
拜登：這要視具體情況而定。順便一提，我已向習近平明確表示，
我們同意——我們與之前好幾任總統 (譯註: 應是指台灣) 同意——
的政策是，我們目前不會尋求台灣獨立，如果他們…如果…如果中
國單方面試圖改變台灣現狀，將來也不會不防衛台灣。因此，我們
將繼續提供產能 (譯註:有點模糊指什麼 武器產能或軍力?)。而且，
我們一直在與該地區的盟友進行諮詢。

So if I might, not ruling out the possibility of deploying US troops to
Taiwan in the case of an invasion?
那麼我可以不排除在台灣遭受入侵的情況下，向台灣部署美軍部隊
的可能性嗎？

Biden: Not ruling out using US military force. There’s a distinction
between deploying on the ground, air power and naval power, etc.
拜登：不排除使用軍力 (原譯:美軍)。部署有地面、空中兵力 、海上兵力等的
差異。

So you're maybe striking from bases in Philippines or Japan, is that…
所以你可能是從菲律賓或日本的基地發動攻擊，是嗎…

拜登：我不能談論這問題。如果我告訴你，你就會有充分的理由批
評我。
Biden: I can’t get into that. You would then criticize me with good reason
if I were to tell you.

環太平洋地區的競爭比硬實力更廣泛，而且你也擴大了唐納·川普
與中國的貿易戰。總統先生，您曾經批評過這一點。
The competition in the Pacific Rim is broader than hard power and you've
expanded Donald Trump's trade war with China. Mr. President, which you
once criticized.

Biden: No, I haven’t. Go ahead.
拜登：不，我沒有。繼續其他問題。
