今天美國政府發佈一項行政命令,嚴格要求政府各部門與台灣官方不可有正式場合上的接觸(只可以在私人會議室或餐館),不準受邀參加雙十慶典及其他官方的儀式或宴會,也不準邀請任何台灣官員出席任何美國政府的官方會議,台灣軍方代表不准在美國領土穿軍服,等等....
最後一段重申台灣不可被稱為中華民國(Republic of China)、中華民國在台灣(Republic of China on Taiwan)、或一個國家。就簡單的稱台灣即可。
USA Says No ROC!!!
Mandatory Guidance from Department of State Regarding Contact with Taiwan
1. SUMMARY: EXECUTIVE BRANCH CONTACTS WITH TAIWAN REPRESENTATIVES ABROAD SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GUIDELINES LAID OUT IN PARA
3 BELOW. THE GUIDELINES APPLY TO ALL OCCASIONS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND
ESPECIALLY IN THE WEEKS PRIOR TO THE OCTOBER 10 ("DOUBLE TEN")
ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDING OF THE "REPUBLIC OF CHINA." PLEASE ENSURE THAT THESE GUIDELINES ARE BROADLY CIRCULATED WITHIN YOUR MISSION. THIS CABLE DOES NOT PROVIDE GUIDELINES FOR AIT EMPLOYEES. END SUMMARY.
BACKGROUND ON UNOFFICIAL NATURE OF U.S. RELATIONS WITH TAIWAN
2. FOR THE PAST THREE DECADES, THE UNITED STATES HAS ADHERED TO A ONE CHINA POLICY, CONSISTENT WITH THE THREE U.S.-PRC JOINT COMMUNIQUES AND THE TAIWAN RELATIONS ACT (ALL AVAILABLE ON THE STATE DEPARTMENT'S WEBSITE). IN
KEEPING WITH THIS ONE CHINA POLICY, THE U.S. GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHED
DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH THE PRC IN 1979 AND RECOGNIZED THE PRC AS THE
SOLE LEGAL GOVERNMENT OF CHINA FOLLOWING THE TERMINATION OF FORMAL
RELATIONS BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND THE GOVERNING AUTHORITIES ON
TAIWAN, THE UNITED STATES BEGAN MAINTAINING UNOFFICIAL RELATIONS WITH
THE ISLAND, PER THE TAIWAN RELATIONS ACT. SIMILARLY,
THE U.S.-PRC JOINT COMMUNIQUE OF 1979 STATES THAT "THE PEOPLE OF THE
UNITED STATES WILL MAINTAIN CULTURAL, COMMERCIAL, AND OTHER UNOFFICIAL
RELATIONS WITH THE PEOPLE OF TAIWAN."
GUIDELINES FOR CONTACTS WITH TAIWAN REPRESENTATIVES
3. THE TAIWAN RELATIONS ACT ESTABLISHED THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE IN TAIWAN
(AIT) AS A NONPROFIT CORPORATION RESPONSIBLE FOR CARRYING OUT PROGRAMS,
TRANSACTIONS, AND OTHER RELATIONS THAT WOULD, HAD WE MAINTAINED
DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS, HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED BY THE PRESIDENT OR ANY AGENCY
OF THE USG WITH RESPECT TO TAIWAN. TAIWAN'S COUNTERPART TO AIT IS THE TAIPEI ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL REPRESENTATIVE OFFICE IN THE UNITED STATES (TECRO). EXECUTIVE BRANCH OFFICIALS SHOULD ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES FOR INTERACTION WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF TAIWAN:
-- TAIWAN
REPRESENTATIVES SHOULD BE TREATED WITH APPROPRIATE COURTESY AND
RESPECT, WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF OUR UNOFFICIAL RELATIONS WITH THE ISLAND.
--USG
OFFICIALS SHOULD CONDUCT THE SAME SUBSTANTIVE RANGE OF BUSINESS WITH
THEIR TAIWAN COUNTERPARTS THAT THEY WOULD CONDUCT WITH REPRESENTATIVES
FROM COUNTRIES WITH WHICH THE UNITED STATES HAS DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS.
--MEETINGS BETWEEN USG OFFICIALS AND TAIWAN AUTHORITIES OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES MUST BE HELD OUTSIDE USG AND TAIWAN OFFICES (E.G., AT PRIVATE MEETING ROOMS OR RESTAURANTS).
--EMBASSY
PERSONNEL MAY ACCEPT INVITATIONS TO PRIVATE FUNCTIONS HOSTED BY TAIWAN
REPRESENTATIVES EITHER IN RESTAURANTS OR IN THEIR HOMES, BUT NOT IN
RESIDENCES OF TAIWAN'S PRINCIPAL REPRESENTATIVES OR AMBASSADORS.
INVITATIONS TO OFFICIAL TAIWAN-HOSTED FUNCTIONS OR ANY FUNCTIONS HELD ON TAIWAN'S OFFICIAL PREMISES MAY NOT BE ACCEPTED.
--U.S. EMBASSY AND CONSULATE PERSONNEL MAY HOST TAIWAN REPRESENTATIVES AT PRIVATE FUNCTIONS IN RESTAURANTS OR IN THEIR HOMES, BUT NOT IN U.S. CHIEF OF MISSION RESIDENCES. TAIWAN REPRESENTATIVES MAY NOT BE INVITED TO U.S. FUNCTIONS OF AN OFFICIAL NATURE OR TO FUNCTIONS HELD ON OFFICIAL U.S. PREMISES.
--IN
COUNTRIES WHERE THE TAIWAN AMBASSADOR SERVES AS THE DEAN OF THE
DIPLOMATIC CORPS, U.S. PERSONNEL MAY ONLY ATTEND FUNCTIONS THAT THE
TAIWAN AMBASSADOR HOSTS FOR THE ENTIRE CORPS IN HIS ROLE AS DEAN.
--ANY
FUNCTION HELD ON OR AROUND OCTOBER 10, CELEBRATED BY TAIWAN AUTHORITIES
AS THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDING OF THE "REPUBLIC OF CHINA,"
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AN OFFICIAL FUNCTION REGARDLESS OF ITS VENUE OR
DECLARED NATURE. (NOTE: WASHINGTON-BASED EXECUTIVE BRANCH OFFICIALS ARE
PERMITTED TO ATTEND THE SEPARATE TECRO-SPONSORED RECEPTION SPECIFICALLY
FOR USG EXECUTIVE BRANCH OFFICIALS THAT NORMALLY TAKES PLACE IN
MID-OCTOBER, BECAUSE IT IS DISTINCT FROM THE FORMAL DOUBLE-TEN
FUNCTION.)
--USG OFFICIALS MAY NOT ATTEND OFFICIAL OVERSEAS FUNCTIONS THAT HONOR OR ARE HOSTED BY VISITING TAIWAN AUTHORITIES. THE
ONLY EXCEPTION MIGHT BE A FUNCTION, NOT ON TAIWAN'S OFFICIAL PREMISES,
HOSTED BY TAIWAN REPRESENTATIVES FOR A MEETING OF AN INTERNATIONAL
ORGANIZATION IN WHICH TAIWAN IS A FULL MEMBER. REQUESTS TO ATTEND SUCH EVENTS MUST BE REFERRED TO THE DEPARTMENT (EAP/TC) FOR CONSIDERATION ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS (SEE PARA 6 BELOW).
--U.S. GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVES SHOULD NOT CORRESPOND DIRECTLY WITH AUTHORITIES FROM TAIWAN, BUT RATHER SHOULD SEND LETTERS THROUGH AIT-TECRO CHANNELS. INDIVIDUALS FROM TAIWAN WHOM U.S.
EXECUTIVE BRANCH OFFICIALS CONTACT ARE GENERALLY REFERRED TO BY NAME,
TITLE, AND CITY WITHOUT USE OF INTERNATIONAL NOMENCLATURE (E.G.,
DIRECTOR GENERAL CHANG, CIVIL AVIATION BUREAU, TAIPEI).
CORRESPONDENCE
TO THESE INDIVIDUALS IS PREPARED ON PLAIN WHITE STATIONERY AND SIGNED
WITH A PERSONAL NAME WITHOUT A USG TITLE. (THE EXCEPTION MIGHT BE WHEN
CORRESPONDING WITH A TAIWAN REPRESENTATIVE TO AN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION OF WHICH TAIWAN IS A FULL MEMBER. THE
REPRESENTATIVE'S TITLE, AFFILIATION, AND STATUS IN THE ORGANIZATION
SHOULD BE AS SPECIFIED IN THE CONTEXT OF THE INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION,
E.G., "CHINESE TAIPEI" IN APEC). AIT
WILL PACKAGE CORRESPONDENCE UNDER AN APPROPRIATE COVER LETTER TO TECRO,
FROM WHICH IT WILL BE RELAYED TO RECIPIENT AUTHORITIES ON TAIWAN.
GUIDELINES FOR TRAVEL TO TAIWAN
4. ALL EXECUTIVE BRANCH PERSONNEL WHO PLAN TO TRAVEL TO TAIWAN FOR WORK-RELATED REASONS MUST HAVE PRIOR CONCURRENCE FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT'S OFFICE OF TAIWAN COORDINATION BEFORE REQUESTING TRAVEL CLEARANCE FROM AIT TAIPEI. USG PERSONNEL TRAVEL TO TAIWAN IN THE CAPACITY OF CONSULTANTS TO AIT. OFFICIAL
TRAVEL IS NOT PERMITTED FOR STATE OR DEFENSE OFFICIALS ABOVE THE RANK
OF OFFICE DIRECTOR OR FOR UNIFORMED MILITARY PERSONNEL ABOVE THE LEVEL
OF 06 (COLONEL, NAVY CAPTAIN) WITHOUT THE WRITTEN PERMISSION OF EAP/TC. FOR
PERSONAL TRAVEL, SENIOR EXECUTIVE BRANCH OFFICIALS AT OR ABOVE THE
LEVEL OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY OR THREE-STAR FLAG OFFICERS MUST OBTAIN
CLEARANCE FROM EAP/TC. ALL TRAVEL BY EXECUTIVE BRANCH PERSONNEL TO TAIWAN OR TRANSITING THROUGH TAIWAN MUST BE ON A REGULAR (TOURIST) PASSPORT. DIPLOMATIC AND OFFICIAL PASSPORTS SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR TRAVEL TO TAIWAN.
U.S. POLICY ON TAIWAN'S STATUS IN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS
5.CONSISTENT WITH OUR ONE CHINA POLICY, THE UNITED STATES DOES NOT SUPPORT TAIWAN'S
MEMBERSHIP IN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS FOR WHICH STATEHOOD IS
REQUIRED (E.G. THE UNITED NATIONS OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATED
ORGANIZATIONS). THE UNITED STATES SUPPORTS, AS APPROPRIATE, TAIWAN'S INVOLVEMENT IN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, PROCESSES, AGREEMENTS, AND GATHERINGS WHERE STATEHOOD IS NOT A PREREQUISITE. WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF OUR ONE CHINA POLICY, THE UNITED STATES DOES NOT TAKE A POSITION ON WHAT TAIWAN'S
TITLE SHOULD BE IN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS. THE UNITED STATES
SUPPORTS FLEXIBLE ARRANGEMENTS AND NOMENCLATURE ACCEPTABLE TO BOTH THE
PRC AND TAIWAN AND OPPOSES ATTEMPTS BY EITHER SIDE TO USE NOMENCLATURE FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES INCONSISTENT WITH U.S. POLICY. THE USG'S OVERALL GOAL IS TO ENABLE THE PEOPLE ON TAIWAN TO COMPLY WITH INTERNATIONAL REGULATIONS AND GUIDELINES AND RECEIVE APPROPRIATE INTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCE AND ADVICE, DESPITE TAIPEI'S GENERAL LACK OF RECOGNITION AS AN INDEPENDENT STATE.
6. GUIDELINES ON TAIWAN MILITARY UNIFORMS AND ROC FLAGS
IN KEEPING WITH THE UNOFFICIAL NATURE OF OUR RELATIONS WITH TAIWAN AND THE FACT THAT THE UNITED STATES DOES NOT RECOGNIZE TAIWAN AS AN INDEPENDENT, SOVEREIGN STATE, MILITARY REPRESENTATIVES OF THE AUTHORITIES ON TAIWAN SHOULD NOT WEAR THEIR UNIFORMS WHILE IN THE UNITED STATES OR ON U.S. PREMISES OVERSEAS, AND THE "ROC" FLAG SHOULD NOT BE DISPLAYED ON USG PREMISES.
COORDINATION WITH WASHINGTON ON TAIWAN MATTERS
7. POSTS THAT HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING CONTACT WITH TAIWAN OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES SHOULD SEEK EARLY GUIDANCE FROM EAP'S OFFICE OF TAIWAN
COORDINATION (EAP/TC? TEL 202- 647-7711? FAX 202-647-0076? NIPRNET
-EAP-TC-OFFICE- DL@STATE.GOV? SIPRNET EAP-TC-OFFICE-DL2@STATE.SGOV.GOV).
TERMINOLOGY
8.THE DEPARTMENT REMINDS POSTS THAT, CONSISTENT WITH THE UNOFFICIAL NATURE OF U.S.TAIWAN TIES, THE U.S. GOVERNMENT DOES NOT REFER TO TAIWAN AS THE "REPUBLIC OF CHINA," THE "REPUBLIC OF CHINA ON TAIWAN," OR A COUNTRY. THE USG REFERS TO TAIWAN SIMPLY AS "TAIWAN."
