我有話說-保釣,台灣的格局

拜讀AIT前理事主席白樂崎先生文章〈以更大格局來看釣魚台〉,將台灣的保釣運動與東亞的權力均勢作一連結,並認為台灣為了「若干荒涼礁岩」,而付出傷害台日關係的代價,是不值得的。筆者有不同意見。

我們雖然不是大國,但在東亞的勢力均衡中,也絕對具有影響力。不管是政治與經濟上,台灣與日本乃平等、相互的盟友關係,「盟友」的意思是必須互敬互重。白樂崎認為,台灣不要為了「荒涼礁島」而壞了和日本的關係,有趣的是,這樣的邏輯是否也可以說,日本不應為了「荒涼礁島」而壞了和台灣的關係?

其次,釣魚台附近海域是台灣漁民的傳統漁場,漁產富饒,而聯合國在一九六八年發現釣魚台附近海域蘊藏豐富石油,釣魚台絕非白文所謂「荒涼礁岩」。更何況一八九五年日本在甲午戰爭勝利之後,祕密兼併中國人已使用數百年的釣魚台,是一種侵略行為,有格局之國家都不應該縱容。

而這中間立即的現實是,台灣的漁民經常在作業時遭到日本船的驅趕。國際政治是一個無限重覆的賽局,我國政府必須增加日本艦艇騷擾台灣漁民的成本,才能提高日方行動的門檻。否則日方「軟土深掘」,台灣漁民的處境就會越來越不利。

最後,白文認為台灣的前途「是要更靠攏中國,但這將無可避免地意味喪失民主與人權,抑或是維持一個自由與開放的民主體制。」這已經不只是評論釣魚台,而是台灣的兩岸政策。這樣的論述也是不符合邏輯的。白文所謂「民主陣營」的每一個國家都正在和中國大陸發展更密切的關係;中國大陸已經是世界工廠,未來也有可能是世界市場,怎麼不見他們擔心「喪失民主與人權」?

政客的話

本來就是過耳風

不能相信

何況還牽扯到自身的國家民族私利?

If Japanese are smart ...

A very good article.

The island is a catalyst for international incidents.

I can imagine one day when China/Taiwan's fishermen died/drowned because being chased by Japanese patrol ships. which resulted in a major demonstration in Taiwan and China.

If this happens, what is Ma's government going to do?
Say a few words with no actions ("By the book," as Ma said all the time, but which book?),
or wait for China to take an action?  If Ma's government can't calm down the situation,
his government/party will be in jeopardy.
Who would want a government that can't protect her people?
Maybe Ma's government should take a proactive approach by negotiating with Japan now before another incident occurs.

Also, if Japanese are smart, they should have a 2-way talk with Taiwan to at least allow Taiwan's fishermen to fish there, and co-develop the area with Taiwan.
Otherwise, when China gets involved, it will be all or nothing.
It is very obvious, from China's history, that no leaders should/dare to give away an inch of land.
Remember, China' s power/influence is growing day by day, even U.S. can't do anything about it.
I also believe that  it is naive for Japan to expect U.S. to fight against China for this island.
It does not fit U.S.'s interest. Most U. S. people don't even know about this "deserted island."
 
Maybe U.S. should persuade Japan to negotiate with Taiwan, too.

美國也不要為了幾個荒島破壞了台美關係

請美國中途島、阿留申群島、以及太平洋當中其他的無人島都送給台灣吧!
