【记者秦雨霏／综合报导】台湾驻美代表处在新年第一天升起青天白日满地红的国旗。自
从美国在1979年承认北京政权以来，这是它36年来第一次在美国升起中华民国国旗。
逾100人参加了上周四双橡园的典礼，包括台湾驻美代表沈吕巡。
据中央社报导，民国67年12月31日中美断交前夕，前外交部次长杨西昆于双橡园举行最后
1次降旗仪式，不少出席人士在凄风细雨中泪流满面。
36年后的隔日，华府天晴气朗，青空无云，国旗由两名护旗官捧送入场，仪式在沈吕巡主
持下，国旗在歌声中冉冉升起，气氛依旧感人。
沈吕巡指出，在双橡园举行升旗典礼深具意义。回想36年前的昨天中美断交前夕，杨西昆
在寒风细雨中于此地主持最后1次降旗典礼，参加的外交前辈及当时侨胞很多动容泪下，
忧心外交前途及双橡园产权。
他说，在历任外交前辈及侨界共同奋斗，与美国友人的协助下，不但保住双橡园产权，且
逐渐打破若干限制，不但可在双橡园举办国庆酒会，去年还首度于酒会中高唱中美两国国
歌。
路透社1月5日报导说，中共从未排除武力攻台。自从国民党部队1949年到台湾之后，中共
和台湾一直分开统治。
升旗仪式是最新一起涉及台湾、令中美关系紧张的事件。在欧巴马签署法律授权出售四艘
佩里级导弹护卫舰给台湾之后，北京12月份对美国提出抗议。
中共外交部发言人华春莹说，中共“坚决反对”升旗仪式，并向美国提出“严正交涉”。
虽然自从2008年以来台湾和中共已经签署一系列贸易和经济协议，但是政治和军事的怀疑
仍然深刻存在，特别是在民主的台湾，许多人害怕中共的真实意图。

China fumes after Taiwan's flag raising in Washington
Reuters) - China has protested to the United States after Taiwan's de facto
embassy in Washington hoisted a Taiwanese flag on New Year's Day, and urged
the United States to respect the "One China" policy, the foreign ministry
said on Monday.
The U.S. State Department said it had not been notified in advance of the
ceremony and that it was inconsistent with U.S. policy.
China deems Taiwan a renegade province and hasn't ruled out the use of force
to take it back, particularly if the island makes a move toward independence.
The One China policy holds that there is only one China and that Taiwan is
part of it.
Taiwan's China Post newspaper reported on Saturday that the ceremony in
Washington was the first time the Taiwanese flag had been raised in the
United States in 36 years since Washington switched recognition from Taiwan
to Beijing in 1979.
More than 100 people attended the ceremony on Thursday, including Taiwan's
top envoy to the U.S. Shen Lyushun, the China Post said, citing the Taipei
Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Washington.
"We resolutely oppose the so-called flag-raising ceremony by Taiwan's agency
in the United States and have lodged solemn representations with the United
States," foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told a daily news briefing.
Hua called on the United States to abide by the 'One China' policy and
"prudently and properly handle" any issues relating to Taiwan to prevent
similar incidents from happening again.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the United States "did not
know about the flag raising in advance."
"No U.S. government personnel attended the event in any capacity," she said.
The incident is the latest involving Taiwan to roil relations between the
United States and China. Beijing lodged a protest with the United States in
December after President Barack Obama signed into law legislation authorizing
the sale of up to four Perry-class guided missile frigates to Taiwan.

China and Taiwan have been ruled separately since defeated Nationalist forces
fled to the island at the end of a civil war with the Communists in 1949.
While Taiwan and China have signed a series of landmark trade and economic
agreements since 2008, political and military suspicions still run deep,
especially in democratic Taiwan where many fear China's true intentions.
