The Charge in China (Strong) to the Secretary of State
SECRET TAIPEI, January 2, 1950-1 p. m.
Cantel 3. As new arrival Taipei I am being given the "treatment" by Formosan
Independence "Movement"（台湾独立运动）. Conversations with Peter Huang and
Philip Ng and perusal of their propaganda have served only to establish their
utter lack of realism, absence of any militant and armed popular foundation,
and complete reliance on US to achieve their aims and
assure their livelihood forever.
(味其言观其文，可知其昧于现实，无可战之兵，复将自身理想及其生存全然寄望于美国
的援助之上。)
It seemed desirable to attempt to straighten out their thinking in relation
to China scene as to US, and to prevent misconception as to nature of any
personal relations with me.
In brief, they were told in friendly manner, as my personal opinion, that
Formosans themselves, unarmed, could not get rid of Chinese now on Island
（他们被委婉地告知：根据我个人的意见，福尔摩沙人在没有自己的武装基础的状况下，
无法摆脱中国政权掌控）;
US would require several divisions of troops plus supporting naval and air
forces to take and keep control over Island, a responsibility which we are not
prepared to assume
（美国得生出几个师的军队跟海空支援资源来掌控这个岛，而美国不打算负这个责任）;
for time being any hope for independence lay with Nationalists not with Communi
sts, and thus measures designed weaken Nationalists merely served increase chances Communist
control, so Formosans must recognize facts, not avoid them
（所以福尔摩沙人必须面对现实而不是逃避现实）,
and they should not forget that Formosa fits intolarge pattern from which it
cannot be separated arbitrarily
（而且福尔摩沙人也不该忘记，福尔摩沙不能自以为可以独自于世界之外运作）;
and although US sympathetic to Formosan aspirations, there were very few
grounds for optimism now and foreseeable future.

(上略)
中共在 1949 年打败国民党、成立中华人民共和国，国民党政府则被迫走避台湾。
没多久（1950.1.5），杜鲁门总统宣布台湾是中国的领土；紧接着（1950.1.12），
国务卿艾奇逊（Dean G. Acheson, 1949-53）将台湾、以及韩国排除于美国在远东的
“防卫范围”（defense perimeter）。
在美国维持中立的情况下，中共政权期待一举挥军渡海“解放”台湾。

美国务院起草【对台湾问题政策宣传指示】，声明【台湾从历史上和地理上是中国的一部
分，纯属中国的责任范围】。1950年元月5日，杜鲁门总统发表正式声明，重申《开罗宣
言》及《波茨坦宣言》关于台湾归还中国的规定，还明确表示过去四年来美国及其他盟国
承认中国对该岛行使主权。当天下午，艾奇逊国务卿举行记者会，重申美国不会介入中国
内战以及不干预台湾局势的基本立场，更将台湾排除在美国太平洋防线之外。
