兩岸同屬一中,無待美國承認 | 謝芷生

最近由於美國國務院更新美台關係網頁,未再提“臺灣是中國的一部分”以及“美方不支援台獨”,而令部分台獨分子欣喜若狂。足見他們“倚美謀獨”的心理缺失,已到了病入膏肓,無可救藥的地步了。站在同為中國人,以及兄弟骨肉之情的立場,真令人既遺憾又悲哀。

筆者雖為臺灣外省人,但自小在臺灣長大,早已視臺灣為家鄉,不覺自己與臺灣本省人有何區別。認識我的大陸同胞,明知我祖籍在大陸,仍視我為臺灣人,筆者也認為理所當然,無需糾正。即使外國人問起來,我也會不假思索地回答,來自臺灣。德文中,來自何地,即意味著是那個地方的人。有時為了避免誤會,以為臺灣是另一個國家,才會說,來自中國臺灣。這是台獨分子,絕不願做的表述方式。

1970年筆者來到德國,慕尼克,住在一所天主教辦的學生宿舍裡。某晚宿舍負責人想瞭解,住宿學生的背景,逐一詢問學生來自何地。同樣來自臺灣的同學,對此卻有兩種不同的回答。一般祖籍地在大陸或偏藍的臺灣同學,會回答,來自中國。而有台獨傾向的臺灣同學,則會回答,來自Formosa,甚至連臺灣兩字都不屑提及。這給筆者留下了終身難忘的印象。那時台獨分子已開始在臺灣留學生中,散播台獨思想,進行洗腦了。從那時起,臺灣留學生中就逐漸開始分為“統派”與“獨派“或“藍營”與“綠營”了。

許多人都會問,“台獨思想是怎麼產生的?” 這個問題很難回答,因牽扯到多層因素。但據筆者淺見,認為最明顯的有三個方面。其一,日本的殖民統治。1895年中日甲午戰爭,中國戰敗,被迫簽訂馬關條約,將臺灣割讓日本。當時許多臺胞都捶胸頓足,哭天喊地,不願接受做“亡國奴”及“次等國民”的命運。

日本統治臺灣,前期施行了高壓政策。據說前後殺害了數十萬臺胞,有說二十萬的,也有說六十萬的,至今沒有個統一說法。但日本人嗜殺,嗜用高壓手段是毋庸置疑的,譬如在抗日戰爭期間,大陸同胞也經歷過日本人的屠殺與高壓政策。但後期日本人對臺胞改採溫和的同化政策,並推行所謂“皇民化運動”。時間一久,有些意志薄弱的人就發生了動搖,真把自己當成了日本人。1947年發生的所謂“二二八事變”,就是在此背景下釀成的。國民黨到臺灣後,並非沒有試圖抹去此事的創痛記憶,但台獨分子卻一再在傷口上撒鹽,甚至還進行歪曲宣傳。背後究竟有誰指使,值得關注。

 其二,國共內戰。國民黨1949年在大陸內戰失敗,敗退臺灣後,在臺胞中極力進行反共洗腦宣傳,造成臺胞普遍仇共、懼共的心理,並用“反攻大陸”麻醉、哄騙來自大陸的臺胞,使他們相信,國民黨終將帶領他們重回大陸故鄉。這也是當局為了防止外省人與本省人過度融合,造成威脅的手段。1960年發生的雷震案,即在此背景下產生的。

 其三,美國的介入。1950年朝鮮戰爭爆發,美國派遣第七艦隊進入臺灣海峽,將臺灣視為禁臠,實行間接佔領。直至1979年中美建交後,才表面撤出了臺灣,但其實際影響力卻從未中斷過。為實行均衡外交,減輕來自蘇聯的壓力,1972年美國尼克森總統訪華。此純屬美方的策略性運作,中美間的大國對抗,意識形態的對立,並未絲毫減輕。既屬一時間的策略性運作,則一旦時過境遷,形勢改變後,就會回到原來的敵對關係。這根本不至令人感到意外吃驚。

台獨分子倚美成性,才會把美國對臺灣的態度看得如此重要。 其實中、美雙方既然改變不了敵對關係,與其相互虛與委蛇,不如把真實關係挑明瞭好,可避免有人心存幻想,放鬆警惕,一旦對方全面攤牌,會造成措手不及的無謂損失。兩岸同屬一個中國,是個事實,美國否認也改變不了什麼,而最後是和統還是武統,跟美國是否承認一中沒有關係,也是美國阻擋不了的。

對「兩岸同屬一中,無待美國承認 | 謝芷生」的一則回應

  1. “筆者雖為臺灣外省人,但自小在臺灣長大,早已視臺灣為家鄉,不覺自己與臺灣本省人有何區別。"

    If you are a so-called “waishengren", then you are by definition, NOT Taiwanese. The only people who can truly, legitimately call themselves Taiwanese are the 100% benshengren TAiwanese and aboriginal people in Taiwan. This is a simple matter of what the word “TAiwanese" means. You may not like it, but every word has its own, plain meaning. The word “TAiwanese", like every other word in any other language, has a core meaning that is not up to your re-definition. You can delude yourself into thinking that TAiwanese is one of your many “identities", but in the end, no real TAiwanese will accept your re-definition, and so you will be “Taiwanese" to no-one but yourself.

    What is so hard about clarifying your identity when people ask? Just say: “I’m an ethnic Chinese person who grew up in Taiwan." What’s complicated about that? I have never wavered when describing myself: Taiwanese, without qualifications, full stop. So, I find it interesting that many waishengren in Taiwan used to always say they’re “Chinese", when being “Taiwanese" wasn’t fashionable, 20-30 years ago. But now that Taiwan has accumulated enough prestige and brand recognition, they now choose to identify as “TAiwanese". The problem is that these people have a self-identity that is fluid and ever-changing. If your identity is ever-shifting, then you have no identity at all. I don’t think you should despair of this situation: many people, if not most people, on earth have no real identity, and I will admit that having or not having a [strong] self-identify is as much an accident of birth, as each person’s courage and clarity of mind in recognizing that words have meaning. I have always felt lucky and proud of being Taiwanese.

    I reject and resist anyone’s attempt to redefine what “TAiwanese" means and what the Taiwanese people encompass. I don’t feel the need to redefine and contort my self-identity, just to accommodate your id, your ego, your vanity.

    Do this thought experiment: what if I, being 100% benshengren, were to declare to the world that I am now also a Shantongren, or a sichuanren? Being Shantongren or being Sichaunren is an identity that, by all accounts, means a great deal to real shantongren and real sichuanren. My simple declaration will not allow me to assume those identities, and will only invite the anger and ire of the real shantongren/sichuanren.
