英國周日快報:英國5年內可能正式承認台灣 China warning: Britain prepares to back Taiwan and DEFEND state against Beijing aggression https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1289273/china-news-taiwan-britain-military-aggression The Sunday Express has learnt that ministers are considering how to support Taiwan more and could defy Beijing and formally recognise it within the next five years. As the coronavirus fallout continues with China there is increasing anger over how the Communist regime has treated Hong Kong and is now threatening Taiwan. A source told the Sunday Express “don’t be surprised if we end up recognising Taiwan and joining others in defending it with military assets.” 英國《周日快報》（Sunday Express）報導， 英國內閣首長們正在考慮如何進一步支持台灣， 並可能在未來五年內挑戰北京，正式承認台灣。 報導指出，中國處理武漢肺炎與香港問題的手段日益惹惱英國當。 「如果我們最終承認台灣並與其他國家一起以軍事資產捍衛台灣，不要感到驚訝 。」 Currently, because of China’s objections Taiwan is not officially recognised and only has an unofficial embassy in the UK. But a source said: “That could change if China continues on its current trajectory.” Moves to support Taiwan have been welcomed by senior Tories. 由於中國的反對，台灣尚未得到英國的正式承認，在倫敦也只有一個非正式的代表處。 但有消息人士說：「如果中國繼續保持目前的發展軌跡，那可能會改變。」 支持台灣的舉動受到執政的保守黨高層歡迎。 Last night experts predicted that Britain may officially recognise Taiwan’s sovereignty “within just five years”. But there are many ways the UK can support Taipei before that “nuclear option”. 英國可能會在「短短五年內」正式承認台灣的主權。 但是，在採取這項具有核彈爆炸威力的舉動前前，英國還可以通過多種方式支持台北。 These include simply changes, such as giving Taiwanese representatives in Britai n full diplomatic status, to using Britain’s expanded diplomatic footprint in the South Pacific as a way of helping to check Chinese expansion and bolstering support for Taiwanese sovereignty. Helping to give Taiwan an independent voice within international bodies , such as has already begun with World Health Assembly, is another way. 英國可能會授與台灣駐倫敦代表完全的外交使節地位， 並運用其在南太平洋的外交力量幫忙牽制中國擴張，支持台灣的主權。 另一種方法是幫助台灣在國際機構中發聲，例如最近在世界衛生大會的作法。 There are more direct methods, too. Last year Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, re-elected three weeks ago on a robust pro-sovereignty platform, told an official delegation of British visitors that she wanted Britain to supply submarine components. Revelations on Tuesday that Beijing planned for the first time to deploy both its aircraft carriers for war games in which it will rehearse an assault on the Taiwan-controlled Dongsha Island shows why. 英國還可以有更多直接的方法。 最近剛連任的蔡英文總統去年曾對英國代表團表示，希望英國提供潛艇零件。 “But there’s much Britian can do to support Taiwan before this. Taipei already considers the UK to be a primary partner and our relationship has grown considerably over the last ten years.” 但是在此之前，英國人可以做很多事情來支持台灣。 台北已經將英國視為主要合作夥伴，並且在過去10年中，我們的關係已大大發展。 ================================================================ 台英友好!! 支持五眼聯盟之一的英國正式承認台灣 -- 台湾厚生労働相 陳時中（鉄人大臣） 台湾「ＷＨＯに参加必要」 https://i.imgur.com/RxNxnnE.jpg -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 36.224.4.33 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/HatePolitics/M.1590922153.A.3C3.html
