20191018 AIT給韓國瑜的五個問題

【縛雞之見】

James F. Moriarty, the AIT Chairperson, met with Han Kuo-yu, the Kaohsiung City mayor, on October 18.  Han’s scheduled visit to the U.S in November was changed reversely before and after the closed-meeting. 

The news reported that Moriarty presented Han five questions that the U.S. scholars may ask in the meet weeks before Mayor Han's visit.  That is a huge favor from AIT.

The five questions presented by Moriarty were:

1. 若韓國瑜當選總統，未來台灣經濟是否會過度依賴中國？

Will Taiwan’s economy rely on the Chinese market further after Han’s election as the President?

2. 如何證明在兩岸關係上能夠比蔡英文處理得好？

How could Han prove that he will do a better job than Tsai in terms of the Cross-Strait relations?

3. 若中國要求兩岸簽署和平協議，是否會屈服中方壓力？

Will Han conclude a cross-strait peace accord under Beijing’s pressure?

4. 對於中共介入台灣2020大選的看法，以及如何應對？

How does Han see CCP's interfere in the Presidential Campaign of 2020, and how Ha is going to deal with that?

5. 是否繼續配合與美對臺軍購政策？

Will Han proceed to collaborate with the U.S. referring to the arms sales policy to Taiwan?

Though the five questions were custom-made for Mayor Han; however, they too reflected the core interests of the U.S toward Taiwan and the West Pacific region.

They spanned from traditional to untraditional national securities issues to the U.S.: the alliance, the military, the economy, the cyber warfare, etc.

Su Chi, former Secretary of National Security Council to former President Ma and Mayor Han’s mentor, indicated that Mayor Han was not qualified to face the questions. 

More likely to me, Su might find that Mayor Han is closer to CCP than to the U.S.  The visit will expose that defect and will cause a devastating consequence to Mayor Han and the campaign. 

U.S. scholars and experts do not only have brains but also have hard evidence.
