In the latter part of the interview, Raymond Greene clearly stated that
agreements between Taiwan and the United States are bilateral Taiwan–U.S.
agreements, and not extensions of U.S.–China relations or U.S.–China
agreements. This critical clarification directly refutes Cheng Li-wen’s
narrative that “the United States was once a benefactor, while China is a
relative.” That narrative is rooted in a historical period spanning from
Kissinger’s 1971 visit to China through roughly 1996, when the United States
still regarded China as a potential partner. Since then, however, China has
progressively transformed into one of the greatest challengers—and
disruptors—of the existing international order.
The Blue–White camps’ persistent emphasis on drawing closer to China while
avoiding reliance on the United States represents a profound misreading of
global realities. Their thinking is outdated by roughly a quarter to half a
century. More critically, they fail to recognize that the defining issue today
is no longer cost, but security. Their obstruction of the Special
Defense Budget Act further compounds this strategic misjudgment by actively
weakening Taiwan’s defense posture.
Greene
also emphasized that strengthening Taiwan’s defense budget would reinforce
Taiwan’s role as a member of the community of allied nations, while advancing
concrete areas of cooperation, including a comprehensive partnership, two-way
Taiwan–U.S. investment, diversification of production layouts, green
supply chains, and the “Pax Silica Declaration.”
He further stressed that cooperation between Taiwan and the United States
extends beyond AI alone. In the realm of critical minerals, Taiwan
likewise has a vital and indispensable role to play.
在本次專訪中,谷立言明確指出,台美之間的各項協議是台美雙邊協議,而並非美中關係或美中協議的一部分。這一關鍵聲明,直接回應並反駁了鄭麗文所提出的「美國曾經是恩人、中國是親人」的敘事框架。該種觀點源自1971年季辛吉訪中以來,一直到1996年前後,美國仍將中國視為潛在夥伴的歷史階段;然而,自此之後,中國已逐步轉變為顛覆既有國際秩序的最大威脅之一。
藍白陣營持續強調「應親近中國、避免依賴美國」的主張,不僅嚴重誤判國際情勢,其思維更已落後時代約四分之一至半個世紀。他們完全忽略,當前的核心問題早已不再是成本,而是安全。更甚者,藍白還進一步阻擋《國防特別預算條例》,在戰略上自我削弱台灣的防衛能力。
谷立言同時指出,國防預算的強化,將有助於鞏固台灣作為友盟國家一員的地位,並推動多項具體合作方向,包括:全面性夥伴關係、美台雙向投資、生產佈局多元化、綠色供應鏈,以及「矽盛世(Pax Silica)宣言」等。
他也特別強調,台美合作不僅限於AI領域,在關鍵礦物的供應與合作上,台灣同樣扮演不可或缺的角色。

谷立言獨家專訪2》從關稅到國防,美國最新的經濟安全走向是什麼?身為美國第四大貿易伙伴的台灣,中小企業與傳統產業將成為台美合作的新重心?
不到一年,美國在台協會處長谷立言(Raymond Greene)再度接受《天下》專訪。
時間點不只剛好在台美關稅協議揭曉之後,國防預算第十度在立法院被封殺,谷立言這陣子也不隱身,頻頻對外發言。
從關稅到國防,他多線溝通的內容看起來毫無相連,但背後,正牽動美國最新的經濟安全佈局。台美已不只是雙邊關係,更牽涉到區域、甚至全球經濟安全的搭建。
「台灣是美國的伙伴(Partner)。全面性的、尤其在經濟層面,」谷立言專訪時毫不諱言。
為什麼美國開始把經濟和安全綁在一起?台灣中小企業跟傳產在這個新戰略下,也有角色?
以下為《天下》專訪谷立言摘要,分為第一、第二篇,以下為第二篇:
