一個動詞的改變就夠明白拜登政權的立場了:

[ On Taiwan, President Biden underscored that the United States remains committed to the “one China” policy, guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the three Joint Communiques, and the Six Assurances, and that the United States strongly opposes unilateral efforts to change the status quo or undermine peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. ]

WSJ這篇把雷蒙多行程報得一清二楚,中國這個重中之重顯然是被阿拜核心團隊捏在手裡,官僚系統只能處理印太盟友(包括紐澳),這種安排無疑透露了拜登政權與國家政策相左的真正立場。這種雙刃手法很難不令盟邦起疑拜登政權的底線到底在哪裡:

"A key question for the administration is how to build out its Asia trade policy without joining regional trade agreements. The challenge is growing as such pacts are gaining importance among Asia-Pacific nations including China to promote commerce and write new rules for the digital economy."

驚訝: 將蒐集範圍擴張到菲律賓海? 日本是真把第二次太平洋戰爭視為可能了欸...(看向澳洲

[ “有关日本将在冲绳和与那国岛之间追加部署电子部队一事,预计其所可应付的范围将涵盖向西之台湾海峡,包括广东北部沿海、福建沿海;向西北之东中国海水域,包括浙江沿海、江苏沿海;向东之菲律宾海北面、西北面、与西面(即第一岛链冲绳和与那国岛段之东)。”

陈亮智指出,本次部署所应对的范围将不只是西面受到中国解放军海空军威胁最为严峻之区域,对于中国解放军海空军逐渐增加穿越宫古海峡而进出西太平洋的菲律宾海水域,预计将也是自卫队本次部署所应对的范围。]

檯面下的美中大概喬得差不多了,所以小英這邊選擇加固防守:

"總統府發言人張惇涵下午表示,注意到美國方面重申對台灣的承諾,並強烈反對改變兩岸現狀或破壞台海和平穩定的片面行為,台灣的立場一貫清楚,就是「遇到壓力不屈服,得到支持不冒進」。誠如總統蔡英文在今年國慶演講所提的「四個堅持」,就是台灣社會的最大公約數,而確保主權、捍衛國土,是不變的堅持。"

真的假的?

"原本外界以為拜登上台之後可能會重返該協議,但如今雷蒙多正式表態摧毀了這項希望。

雷蒙多此行與日本建立美日商業與工業夥伴關係,她表示美國與日本可以在供應鏈、晶片短缺、乾淨能源等議題上合作。值得一提的是,雷蒙多也是拜登政府內,負責要求台韓等半導體大廠交出營運資料的官員。 "

拿台灣作煙幕彈也要看台灣這邊肯不肯配合啊(笑~

"在中國發出通話摘要後隔天,美方異常安靜,未在正常時間內發布自己版本通話摘要。沉寂近19小時後,美國國務院13日晚間才以發言人普萊斯(Ned Price)名義發出布林肯與王毅通話摘要,且內容相當不尋常。

過往美中通話或會議摘要就算提及台灣或台海,大多數都是夾雜在多項議題之間,且最多只有短短一句。

但這份摘要5句中就有2句關於台灣,囊括台海和平穩定符合美國利益、關切中國持續施壓台灣、北京應與台灣進行有意義對話、兩岸議題應和平解決等,幾乎集結美方所有關切台海論述。很顯然,美方是要回應中國版摘要在台灣議題上的「威脅恐嚇」說法。"

台灣這張牌是目前檯面上最被關注的一張, 但其實閒莊雙方都盤算著打貿易牌換最多籌碼回來:

[ Washington takes no official stand on Taiwan’s sovereignty and adopts a stance known as “strategic ambiguity” on whether it would defend Taiwan in the event of military action by mainland China. Mr. Biden has recently made statements about defending Taiwan that irked Beijing and led U.S. aides to clarify that the policy remains in place.

The U.S. conducts a robust arms-sales program with Taiwan, and The Wall Street Journal in October reported the U.S. has quietly deployed a small group of troop advisers to Taiwan for at least a year. ]

wsj.com/articles/biden-xi-team

Beijing has signaled that it could take the democratically controlled island by force to unify it with mainland China and has alarmed Taiwan and U.S. officials by sending waves of warplanes near Taiwan in shows of force. U.S. officials estimate that such a scenario could happen within five years, but others believe a miscalculation by any side could trigger a crisis sooner.

趙君朔大概會用一整集噴阿拜這個避免衝突的主軸喔. 😆 😆

"作為美中領袖的責任是確保競爭不會變成衝突,不論是有意還是無意,必須確保兩國間坦率、直接的競爭。

他指出,兩國需要建立常理性護欄(common-sense guardrails),在分歧處清楚坦誠,在有共同利益處共同努力,特別是在氣候變遷等重要全球議題上,這是負責任的世界領導能力。美中雙邊關係不僅對我們的國家,對世界其他地區都有深遠影響,「我們對世界與人民都負有責任」。

拜登指出,所有國家都須遵守同樣規則,美國捍衛自身利益與價值觀,也捍衛夥伴與盟友的利益與價值觀,今天他將與習近平討論關注的議題,包括人權、經濟與自由開放印太地區,坦誠率直的相互溝通十分重要。"

這類的清查應該會慢慢浮出水面:

"Police say Alpi in 2019 sent a military drone to China for more than a year, falsely describing it as a “radio-controlled airplane model” intended for an import fair in Shanghai that lasted five days.

Prosecutors allege that the six executives violated Italian laws on the export of military equipment. The Italian government has also opened an inquiry into whether it should have been notified of the sale. It has the right to veto takeovers by non-EU buyers of companies deemed strategic in sectors such as defense and communications.

Analysts say Beijing is using such purchases to target specific needs, such as semiconductors, to reduce its reliance on foreign technologies."

兩個月後終於知道是哪兩間中國國企了:

"義大利警方今年兩度搜索阿爾卑辦公室,發現馬邇斯(香港)信息科技有限公司註冊不久後,於2018年7月以400萬歐元買下阿爾卑75%股份,接著投資150萬歐元。警方認為買家出價過高,經追查發現背後金主是中國中車股份有限公司及江蘇省無錫市政府掌控的一個投資集團,因而認定馬邇斯是中國政府為吸收阿爾卑而成立的空殼公司。"

核三角關係的牽制糾葛:

" In 2016, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies and Japan lobbied the Obama administration not to adopt a No First Use (NFU) policy on nuclear weapons, as that would have encouraged Russian and Chinese aggression. In 2021 they are again lobbying the Biden Administration to forego NFU-like policies.

This will require private and perhaps even public appeals that the United States abandon the New START Treaty with Russia and put warheads back on its ICBMs and SLBMs, which could increase U.S. deployed warheads back to levels needed to deter both China and Russia."

昨晚沒睡好,淺眠被凌晨傳來的狗吠貓叫驚醒,急忙著衣衝去暗夜中的浪貓據點,意圖抓逮可能訓練狗群狩貓的元兇。

以前只在網路上看到的都市傳說,發生在社區周遭時,格外驚悚。有時來得及嚇退狗群,有時只能眼睜睜貓被叼走。

雖然明白要解決問題需要長期佈線,不宜打草驚蛇,但實在無法見死不救,只好能救先救。

都市浪犬九成九都是閃躲怕人,圍獵行為多只出現於山區狗群,幾乎可以認定固定兩三隻結夥作案是被刻意訓練的。

可怕的不是工具惡犬,而是那不曉得是否存在、躲在暗處的冷血人類。

繼上星期的法國協助禁運制裁北韓出沒黃海後, 加拿大也以同一理由出沒沖繩海域了:

加拿大軍方表示,溫尼伯號今年9月以來在日本周邊海域針對北韓船舶海上交易等違法海上活動,進行警戒與監視。"

不過賽門也說:「我的理解是她在北京,但我無法確認,因為我沒有直接和她交談。」包括WTA官員以及現役球員,沒有人能聯絡得到彭帥。"
