Secretary Michael R. Pompeo With Hugh Hewitt of The Hugh Hewitt Show    DoS 20201112

QUESTION:  Mr. Secretary, when I interviewed you at Langley and you were the director at the agency, and when I interviewed you at Foggy Bottom and you were the Secretary of State, both occasions you said our commitments to Taiwan are clear and they will be maintained.   I know you talk to Democrats all the time.   Do you believe that is a bipartisan commitment that the CCP has to realize?  Because there is crazy talk among the most radical elements of the CCP that Taiwan ought to be retaken by force if necessary.

問題：部長，當我在Langley 訪問您時，您當時是該機構負責人；現在我在Foggy Bottom 訪問您，您是國務卿，您兩次都表示我們對台灣的承諾很明確且會保持。我知道您一直在與民主黨人交談。您是否認為這是中共必須瞭解的兩黨承諾？由於中共最激進單位有著，台灣在必要時應被武力奪回的瘋狂談話。

SECRETARY POMPEO:  Well, Hugh, remember, when we talk about – it’s always important to get the language right.   Taiwan has not been a part of China, and that was recognized with the work that the Reagan administration did to lay out the policies that the United States has adhered to now for three and a half decades, and done so under both administrations.  No, I actually think this is in fact bipartisan.   I think the central understandings that this is a model for democracy, that the people who live on Taiwan ought to be honored by having the Chinese live up to the commitments that they have made – I think this is something that both parties can agree to.

龐佩歐：休，要記住，當我們談論時–務須使用正確語言。台灣（從過去一段時間以來至今都）不是中國的一部分，這是雷根政府所規劃，美國兩黨政府已遵守了35年。我真的認為這是兩黨的事實。我認為，關於這民主模型的中心認識是，中國人做出了承諾，他們必須尊重生活在台灣的人民，我認為這是雙方都可以同意的事情。

And I hope that this will continue for as long as it’s the case that the Chinese and the Taiwanese can’t figure their way through this.  We ought to honor the commitments that have been made and we have a set of obligations.  You’ve seen our announcements with respect to weapon sales to Taiwan to assist in their defense capabilities.  All of these things are designed to live up to the promises that have been made between, frankly, China and the Taiwanese people.

我希望，只要中國人和台灣人無法找出相處之道，這情況就應持續下去。我們應履行已作出的承諾，並承擔一系列義務。您已經看到了有關向台灣出售武器，以提高其防禦能力的公告。坦率說，所有這些事情，都是為了履行中國和台灣人民間的承諾。
