民進黨主席蔡英文，即將到華府來詮釋她的台灣現狀。馬英九一直追問，她的現狀是什麼，是他以九二共識為基礎的親中降共，並將台灣鎖入為中國的一區，或是朱立倫向習近平所提報，台海海峽兩邊都屬於一個中國的縮寫，台灣屬於中國。
台灣今日的現狀是什麼？即使連前民進黨主席林義雄也「我見我是」，他指責蔡為何拿它來作為兩岸政策？似乎把台灣現狀只停留在「台、中的國、共層面」，而遺漏了「美、台之間的真實台灣法理地位」。
難道台灣真的是中國一部分，是中國的一區或是全然屬於中國？如果是的話，那請提出證明，是哪一份法律文件把台灣主權，從日本轉交給中國？如果不是，那為何台灣仍然懸掛著中華民國國旗？自1945年，蔣介石在麥克阿瑟將軍的第一號軍令授權下軍事佔領，台灣就被標註為中華民國，它還在聯合國裡代表整個中國，一直到1971年10月25日，第一九七六次全大會依據，聯合國第2758號決議文，正式承認中華人民共和國代表全中國，並驅逐蔣介石代表，他們非法佔據在聯合國的席次和所有的相關組織。
因此，國際社會所指名的是蔣介石，不是中華民國，但他已經死了。 中華民國只是一個虛幻的國家，沒有人民、沒有領土，也沒有被國際社會一致承認的政府。難怪台北條約第十條說：「中華民國的國民應視為，包括所有台灣和澎湖居民，與原住民，及他們的後代」。如果把台澎部份挐掉，那中華民國國民不就等於是一個空殼子。
中華民國是一個虛幻的國號，蔣介石和他的國民黨徒，用來矇騙和誤導台灣人民，但一走出台灣，甚至在島上，每次遇到中國官員，或任何在台灣舉辦的正式國際活動，它就會自動消失不見。就連現有政府，也不是受到國際社會的一致承認。
目前國際社會，共有三個版本的台灣現狀：美國、中國共產黨、中國國民黨。它最早見諸於，美國的對台政策，自簽署舊金山和約的那一天算起，至今已穩定地持續了64年。每當美國提到台灣現狀時，始終把三個聯合公報、和台灣關係法相提並論。美國承認只有一個中國、中華人民共和國是唯一代表中國的合法政府，但台灣不是中華民國、不屬於中國。三個聯合公報是在詮釋，中華民國和中華人民共和國，海峽兩岸的中國人，都同屬一中。但，台灣關係法則清楚指明，台灣不是中華民國；台灣人不是中國人，故台灣不屬於中國。至於中國國民黨和共產黨都說，台灣是中國的一部份那並非事實。中華人民共和國建國至今，未曾一分一秒擁有過台灣，中華民國則早已於1949年被掃地出門。
那為什麼美國會對中華民國流亡政府，維持曖昧的台灣政策，而讓中華民國問題曠時不決，正如美國前國家安全委員會、高級亞洲事務主任韋德寧所說：「美國政府的立場是中華民國、中華民國是一個懸而未決的議題，我們讓它懸而不決，你也知道，已經有很多、很多年了。」那美國是要等到什麼時候，才會來處理中華民國的問題呢？
4月11日，美國總統奧巴馬與古巴總統卡斯楚會面時說，「冷戰已經過去很長一段時間了。美國不會被過去所牽絆..我們著眼於未來。我對很顯然，是在我出生前就有的爭執，不感興趣。
沒錯，對台模糊策略是杜魯門總統，於1950年第一個冷戰期間，為分辨自由中國和共產中國而提出，它受到尼克森總統，透過季辛吉的「一個中國」政策背書。但現在，已沒有人承認中華民國，甚至連國民黨都承認自己是中國的一區，同屬一中。此刻，應該是美國調整它對台模糊政策的時候，因為它已過期、不合時宜了。
其實，美國國會早在1979年，就已在台灣關係法第15條，明確否認中華民國，並告知台灣人民只承認台灣統治當局，而不是中華民國政府。美國最近宣布，深黯台灣現狀的前副助理國務卿梅建華，將出任下一屆美國在台協會駐台北處長。他將是第一個美國高階退休官員，出掌在台北快要落成的美國在台協會辦事處。相信這是一個好預兆，表明奧巴馬政府即將著手處理中華民國的問題。
西南太平洋的政治環境，已經與二戰大不相同，現在我們所面臨的是第二次冷戰，美國和日本已密切攜手抗衡中國，日本首相安倍甚至被歡迎到，美國參眾兩院聯席會議演講。日本的集體防禦周邊範圍也將涵蓋台灣，台灣軍方出席美國海軍陸戰隊會議。是的，美國和日本已準備，要面對來自中國的新挑戰。這是一個天儩良機，讓民進黨總統候選人蔡英文知會美國，她完全了解美國的對台政策，她可以勝任，穩穩掌握住，這艘永不下沉航空母艦台灣方向盤，來迎接揭開模糊戰略面紗的動盪和挑戰。台灣鄉親，你是否已準備好要來面對如此巨大的轉變？

Unveil the strategic ambiguity
DPP’s chairperson Tsai Ing-wen is about on her way to Washington DC to disclose her status quo of Taiwan. Ma Ying-jeou is questioning which status quo she has in mind, the status quo of his administration surrendering to China under the 1992 consensus and set Taiwan as a district of China, or as what Eric Chu presented to Xi Jinping that Taiwan is belonged to China in short of both side of Taiwan Strait are belonged to one China.
What is the status quo of Taiwan today? Even former DPP chairman Lin I-shiung insists on what he believed and blamed Tsai holding it as the cross-strait policy. He seems locked Taiwan into the KMT and CCP’s feud and ignored the legal status between Taiwan and the United States.
Is Taiwan really a part of China, a district of China or belonged to China? If yes, prove it. Where is the legal document of transaction the Taiwan sovereignty from Japan to China? If not, why does Taiwan still fly the ROC flag? Since 1945 Chiang Kai-shek military occupied Taiwan under General MacArthur’s General Order No. 1 Taiwan has been labeled as ROC which represented the whole China in United Nation until October 25, 1971 under the General Assembly 1976th plenary meeting, UN Resolution 2758 recognized PRC representing whole China and expelled the representatives of Chiang Kai-shek from the place which they unlawfully occupy at the United Nations and in all the organizations related to it.
So, the international community only recognized Chiang Kai-shek not ROC but he was dead. ROC is only an illusion nation in the world which has no people, no territory and no international recognition of government. No wonder the Article X of Treaty of Taipei says “nationals of the Republic of China shall be deemed to include all the inhabitants and former inhabitants of Taiwan (Formosa) and Penghu (the Pescadores) and their descendants”. If not include Taiwanese the ROC national is almost an empty shell.
ROC is fake name using by CKS and his KMT followers to cheat and mislead Taiwan people but it goes nowhere once you get outside of Taiwan, even on the island while meeting with PRC official or holding any official international activity it become invisible. The existing government is not consistently recognized by the international community.
In today’s international community, the US, CCP and KMT all have their own version of Taiwan status quo. The first one has been consistently maintained in the US’s Taiwan policy for 64 years since the day of signing San Francisco Peace Treaty. Whenever the US mentions the Taiwan status quo, it always tied to the three communiqués, and the Taiwan Relation Act. It recognizes PRC representing the whole China but not owning Taiwan. The three communiqués interprets PRC, ROC and Chinese on both sides of Taiwan Straits are belonged to one China while TRA clearly indicates Taiwan is not ROC, Taiwanese are not Chinese, so Taiwan is not belonged to China. As to PRC and ROC’s versions claiming Taiwan is part of China which are simply not true. The PRC has never ruled over Taiwan for any single day, and ROC was kicked out of China in 1949.
Then why does the US keep dealing with the ROC government in exile and holding the ambiguous policy on Taiwan and keep the ROC issue undecided for so long as what Dennis Wilder, former National Security Council Senior Director for Asian Affairs said “The position of the United States government is that the ROC -- Republic of China -- is an issue undecided, and it has been left undecided, as you know, for many, many years.” When will the US decide the issue of ROC?
April 11 while President Obama met with Cuban President Raul Castro said “the Cold War has been over for a long time. The US will not be imprisoned by the past… We’re looking to the future. I’m not interested in having battles that frankly started before I was born”.
Yes, the ambiguous policy on Taiwan was made by President Truman in 1950 during the first Cold War to distinguish Free/Red China which was also endorsed by President Nixon through Henry Kissinger’s “one China” policy. Now, there is none recognizing ROC and even KMT admit they are part of Chinese district and belonged to China. It is time for the US to change the ambiguous policy for it was out of date.
As a matter of fact, that the US Congress had clearly derecognized ROC on the Section 15 of Taiwan Relation Act, and informed Taiwanese that there are only governing authorities on Taiwan but not ROC government since 1979. The US has recently announced that the former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kin Moy with good knowledge of the Taiwan Status Quo to be the next AIT director. He will be the first high profile US retired official to chair the newly built AIT office in Taipei. I believe it is a good sign that the Obama’s administration is about to take care of the issue of ROC.
The political environment of the Southwest Pacific has been very different to the WWII, now we are facing the Cold War II, the US and Japan closely allied against China and even the Japanese Prime Minister Abe was welcome to address at the Congressional joint meeting. The collective defense of Japan will also include Taiwan. Taiwanese military attend conference of US Marines. Yes, the US and Japan are prepared to face the new challenge from China. It is a perfect time for the DPP presidential candidate Tsai Ing-wen to inform the US that she is fully aware of the US status quo on Taiwan and she can firmly hold the steering wheel for the unsinkable carrier Taiwan through the challenge of unveiling the strategic ambiguity. Taiwan folks, are you ready for the change?
