台北（路透社）台灣總統蔡英文在星期六呼籲國際幫助這個自治島嶼的民主和生活方式對
抗新一波來自中國的威脅。

在中國國家主席習近平表示任何人都不能改變台灣是中國一部分的事實、和兩岸的居民應
該尋求「統一」後的幾天，蔡就回應了。

蔡英文向在台北的記者表示：「我們希望國際社會能正視這個，並且聲援幫助我們。」蔡
指的是中國武統台灣的威脅。

「 如果國際社會不幫助受威脅的民主國家，我們不禁要問哪個國家是下一個？」蔡補充道
。

台灣是中國最敏感的議題，並且北京聲稱台灣是中國的神聖領土。習自2016年蔡和她領導
的支持獨立的民主進步黨上台以來，便不斷升高對這座民主島嶼的壓力。



蔡在星期六同時呼籲中國「正確理解」台灣人的想法，她也表示如政治霸凌等行動對兩岸

TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen called on Saturday for
international support to defend the self-ruled island’s democracy and way of
life in the face of renewed threats from China.
Tsai’s comments came days after Chinese President Xi Jinping said nobody could
change the fact that Taiwan was part of China, and that people on both sides of
the Taiwan Strait should seek “reunification”.
“We hope that the international community takes it seriously and can voice
support and help us,” Tsai told reporters in Taipei, referring to threats by
China to use force to bring Taiwan under its control.
If the international community did not support a democratic country that was
under threat, “we might have to ask which country might be next?” Tsai added.

Taiwan is China’s most sensitive issue and is claimed by Beijing as its sacred
territory. Xi has stepped up pressure on the democratic island since Tsai from
the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party became president in 2016.
President Xi said on Wednesday that China reserves the right to use force to
bring Taiwan under its control but will strive to achieve peaceful “
reunification” with the island.
In response, Tsai has said the island would not accept a “one country, two
systems” political arrangement with China, while stressing all cross-Strait
negotiations needed to be carried out on a government-to-government basis.
Tsai on Saturday also urged China to have a “correct understanding” of what
Taiwanese think and said actions such as political bullying were unhelpful in
cross-strait relations.

不只是美國的媒體，我還有看到瑞士的新蘇黎世報，奧地利的媒體等其他國外媒體都有報
導這場國際記者茶會，其他有外語技能的鄉民可以幫忙翻譯一波，難得台灣在國際上漸漸
有能見度。
