「台灣是值得捍衛的民主政權」 歐洲學者籲歐盟深化與台灣關係-風傳媒

「我們必須認知到,歐盟不是國家,是個組織,且採取共識決」,匈牙利學者馮儒莎直言,由於歐盟成員國各自對中國有不同看法,因此要歐盟對中國有一致態度是一大挑戰;瑞典學者安斯特倫則稱,歐盟應在部分領域和台灣展開合作,卻因中國因素而猶豫不決。

[啟動LINE推播] 每日重大新聞通知

台灣數位外交協會與在挪台灣人國籍正名運動20日舉行「歐洲視角下的台灣:從人權出發」線上座談,曾任瑞典智庫「斯德哥爾摩自由世界論壇」(SFWF)助理研究員安斯特倫(Philip Anstrén Johan)、國際非政府組織「無國界人權」(HRWF)顧問馮儒莎(Zsuzsa Anna Ferenczy)及台灣國際人權法學者廖福特與談。

中國成台歐關係阻力

安斯特倫指出,台灣是歐盟在亞洲的第5大貿易夥伴,但歐盟卻要先和中國先簽訂《全面投資協定》(CAI),才能與台灣談判《雙邊投資協定》(BIA),而他認為,中國設此限制是避免台灣在與歐盟的關係中,扮演建設性的地緣政治角色。不過CAI因中國人權問題和制裁歐洲議會議員,5月已被歐洲議會凍結。

馮儒莎提到,歐盟2003年把中國定位為「策略夥伴」(strategic partner),2019年已變成「系統性對手」(systemic rival),反觀台灣則是理念相近夥伴,但她也說,在共識決的歐盟內部,成員國對中國的看法主要分成「威脅」和「機會」2派,因此歐盟本身難對台灣有更一進步的表態。

歐盟不能再光說不練

「歐盟和台灣的關係要有策略辯論(strategic debate),且內容要反映歐盟與中國的關係」,馮儒莎稱,歐盟應展現自身是規範強權(normative power),這類強權是以精神感召和非物質報酬或懲罰做為控制工具,而歐盟的人權制裁機制是重大一步,「彌補光說不練的缺口」。

馮儒莎表示,外界對歐盟的期望很高,但實際上歐盟內部面臨不少問題,像是2008年的債務危機,外部同樣遇到許多挑戰,不過她特別強調,歐盟是2012年諾貝爾和平獎得主,意味歐盟應做出更多貢獻。她亦稱,台灣已是歐盟夥伴,只是歐盟應更重視、深化此關係。

公民外交、城市外交深化合作

安斯特倫則說,受到中國影響,歐盟在部分應與台灣合作的領域猶豫不決,包括一起對抗錯假資訊、連結台灣的新南向政策,以及海事安全領域,而歐盟與美國發布的聯合聲明,也表明台海和平穩定至關重要,「台灣對歐盟不單是安全議題,還是值得捍衛的民主政體」。

安斯特倫稱,歐盟和台灣進行合作不只是提升雙邊關係,也能促進參與亞洲地區的議題,但坦言歐盟立場改變前,瑞典不會放棄「一中」政策,而台灣人可透過公民外交,拓展、尋找合作機會。馮儒莎則指出,透過城市外交,台灣可與歐盟關切中國人權問題。

Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislators yesterday welcomed news that the New York Mets invited Representative to the US Hsiao Bi-khim (蕭美琴) to throw the ceremonial first pitch at Mets Taiwan Day on Sunday next week.

“We are pleased to announce Taiwan Ambassador to the United States — Ms Bi-Khim Hsiao will throw out the honorary first pitch for the 16th annual Mets Taiwan Day,” the Mets Taiwan Day Facebook account posted on Friday.

In previous years, the Mets invited tennis player Lu Yen-hsun (盧彥勳), movie director Wei Te-sheng (魏德聖) and chemist Lee Yuan-tseh (李遠哲) to throw the Taiwan Day first pitch at Citi Field.

Hsiao is the first Taiwanese representative to the US to throw the pitch at the event, DPP Legislator Chen Ting-fei (陳亭妃) said, adding that the post by the Mets was a rare occasion when the representative’s title has been acknowledged publicly.

“This means that Taiwan’s participation in private and official events in the US could take place on the table and become normalized,” she said.

“Hsiao’s first pitch will become a symbol for the unshakable friendship between Taiwan and the US,” DPP Legislator Hsu Chih-chieh (許智傑) said, adding Hsiao’s appearance at the Mets event would boost recognition of Taiwan.

The Mets 2,000 limited edition Taiwan Day jerseys, which were made in collaboration with Taiwanese-American groups and bore the “Hello Taiwan” logo, sold out last month.
