Lifting Self-Imposed Restrictions on the U.S.-Taiwan Relationship
解除所有对美台关系的自我设限
PRESS STATEMENT
MICHAEL R. POMPEO, SECRETARY OF STATE
JANUARY 9, 2021
Taiwan is a vibrant democracy and reliable partner of the United States, and
yet for several decades the State Department has created complex internal
restrictions to regulate our diplomats, servicemembers, and other officials’
interactions with their Taiwanese counterparts.
台湾的民主蓬勃发展,也是美国可信赖的伙伴。但是这几十年来,国务院
制定了复杂的内规以规范外交官、军官以及其他官员如何与台湾的对口互动。
The United States government took these actions unilaterally, in an attempt
to appease the Communist regime in Beijing. No more.
美国政府采取这些单边行动,是为了绥靖在北京的共产党政权。到此为止。
Today I am announcing that I am lifting all of these self-imposed
restrictions.
今天我在这里宣布,以上提到的所有自我限制将全部解除。
Executive branch agencies should consider all "contact guidelines"
regarding relations with Taiwan previously issued by the Department of State
under authorities delegated to the Secretary of State to be null and void.
行政机构应该将以前由国务院授权给国务卿制定的所有对台“互动规范”
视为法律上无效。
Additionally, any and all sections of the Foreign Affairs Manual or Foreign
Affairs Handbook that convey authorities or otherwise purport to regulate
executive branch engagement with Taiwan via any entity other than the
American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) are also hereby voided.
另外,所有在美国外事手册与说明中,原规范行政机构与台湾必须透过
美国在台协会 (AIT) 以外之单位交流的章节,也一并无效。
The executive branch‘s relations with Taiwan are to be handled by the
non-profit AIT, as stipulated in the Taiwan Relations Act.
行政机构与台湾的关系,依台湾关系法透过非盈利机构 AIT 进行。
The United States government maintains relationships with unofficial partners
around the world, and Taiwan is no exception.
美国政府与世界各地非官方的伙伴维持关系,对台湾也不例外。
Our two democracies share common values of individual freedom, the rule of
law, and a respect for human dignity.
美国与台湾的民主政权都追求个体自由、法治、人权的理念。
Today's statement recognizes that the U.S.-Taiwan relationship need not, and
should not, be shackled by self-imposed restrictions of our permanent
bureaucracy.
今天这份声明彰显著,美台关系并不需要,也不应该被我们既有的
官僚政治设下的自我限制所束缚。
