於是，台灣被賦予自決權力　雲程
Taiwan was then given the power of self-determine by HoonTing 

美東時間11月16日晚間3.5小時的拜習視訊會議後，次日在拜登總統非正式簡報會中說，「我們清楚表達將支持台灣法案，就是這樣。它（台灣）是個別自主的（independent）。它（台灣）自己決定。」
After a lengthy teleconference for 3.5 hours on November 16, President Biden made a short remark in a press gaggle in responding to the question of the journalist: “we support the Taiwan Act, and that’s it. It’s independent. It makes its own decisions.” 

稍後，在他登上空軍一號前就記者問「台灣接下來會如何發展」時，拜登先三度表明「沒事！」直到記者提及「獨立」（independence）字眼才說：「是台灣（他們）要去決定，不是我們。我們不鼓勵獨立，我們鼓勵他們要做到台灣法案所要求的，他們要去做到。讓他們去決定。台灣決定～」
Later, he responded "Nothing" until he made a further explanation on the issue before his departure on Air Force one when a journalist touched the term "independence." Biden said more clearly: "they have to decide — “they” — Taiwan. Not us. And we are not encouraging independence, we’re encouraging that they do exactly what the Taiwan Act requires, and that’s what we’re doing. Let them make up their mind. Period. Taiwan make up." 

拜登總統罕見的兩度補充單一會議中的單一議題，顯然有內容該被正確表述不可。
President Bide comments on one issue of a single conference twice in a short period. 

首先是independent與independence，兩者雖有形容詞與名詞之別，但指涉卻很不一樣。在台灣未擁有自決權力、宣佈獨立取得國格前，台灣是非獨立的主權國家。所以，拜登總統澄清楚表明「不鼓勵獨立」—完全符合「美國的一中政策」與〈台灣關係法〉。但台灣與中國不相統屬的事實，讓台灣確實是拜登口中的「個別自主的」存在。
First, the terms "independent" (adjective) and "independence"(a noun) are used to refer very differently though they look alike in colloquial Chines. Taiwan is yet to be an independent or sovereign state before it acquires the "recognition of state" by other states. That is why Presiden Biden made clear that the U.S. does not support Taiwan's independence. Biden's stance follows the "one China policy" of the U.S. and the Taiwan Relations Act. President Biden's language of "independent," neither Taiwan nor China is subject to the other, but not Taiwan's independence.  

從這觀點看，已完全民主化的台灣是「自治的」（autonomous）國度，約略等於大英國協架構下的「自治領」（Dominion）。
Under the context, the fully democratized Taiwan is an autonomous nation, similar to the Dominios of the Wealth of Nations. 

當美國總統說，應該由台灣來決定，不僅表達美國不會也不應干涉自決的進程，中國圖以統一之名來兼併台灣，是片面改變台灣海峽現狀的舉動。從而根據〈台灣關係法〉是美國所嚴重關切，更是包括台灣前「管理國」（administering authority）日本在內，國際社會所將共同關切的事物。
Autonomous Taiwan in Biden's head also signifies the fully democratized Taiwan should decide for itself, neither the U.S. shall instruct, nor China has the power to interfere. China's annexation of Taiwan under the name of "re-unification" alters the status quo of the Taiwan Strait. According to the Taiwan Relations Act (TRA), the "peace and stability in the area are in the political, security, and economic interests of the United States, and are matters of international concern," including Japan. 

進一步說，美國總統與〈台灣關係法〉對台灣地位具有主導地位，是來自所有願意放棄一部份主權權力，賦予美國「首位」（邱吉爾語），以共同打贏對抗法西斯戰爭，而在1942年1月1日簽署〈聯合國宣言〉共組「聯合國」的國家（包括中國）之主權授權。
Moreover, the President of the U.S. and the TRA held the dominant position over Taiwan is from January 1, 1942, where the member states willing to give a part of sovereign rights to the league by signing the Declaration of the United Nations to defeat the Axes. Winston Churchill, the then Premier of the UK described the U.S. as a prime status. The signing member, including China, though represented by the Nationalist Government, has given such power to the U.S. 

不可忘記的是，美國的「主要佔領國」地位是源自於參戰各國的授權！
After the end of the Pacific War, the member states of the "Declaration of the United Nations" mandated "the Principal Occupying Power" to the U.S. in the Treaty of Peace with Japan on September 8, 1951. 

實質上，此授權不僅貫穿戰時的跨國聯合作戰指揮，更深及戰後佔領、經濟復甦與政治重建；形式上，則以〈聯盟國宣言〉、〈通令第一號〉（委託佔領），到〈舊金山和約〉表現。對台灣議題而言，更貫穿到〈台北和約〉、〈協防條約〉到〈台灣關係法〉，皆以美國總統為關鍵。
The shift of power or mandate does not only through all the combats an theaters in the multi-national war, but also extends to the post-war occupation, the rehabilitation of the economy, and the political reconstruction. The mandate performs in legal documents such as the Declaration, the General Order No.1 (the proxy military occupation"), to the Treaty of Peace with Japan. For the issue of Taiwan, it performs through the Treaty of Peace between ROC-Japan, the Mutual Defence Treaty between ROC-U.S., to the TRA. The key role, the prime place refers to the President of the United States. 

拜登總統是資深政治家，親身參與過〈台灣關係法〉的制訂過程，有重申該立法來龍去脈的權威。他日前的 Taiwan agreement 與近日的 Taiwan Act，並不是失言，而是有一組法律文件在規範著台灣，以及主要佔領國的權力和義務。
President Biden is a senior political of America, who has been involved in the draft of the TRA in person. He then has the authority to prove and interpret what the TRA refers to in 1979. Biden's words such as Taiwan agreement or Taiwan Act may not be a "slip of tongue," but to express the serial legal and diplomatic documents in the White House, signifying the status as the "Principal Occupying Power." 

於是，拜登總統兩度「台灣它自己決定」，即代表美國賦予台灣自決權的正式表述。去年9月18日蔡總統在官邸宴請美國國務院次卿柯拉克時，表達「台灣有決心踏出關鍵的一步」。現在回顧起來，正是蔡總統接受美國總統授權台灣自決的決心。
For twice, President Biden revealed Taiwan makes it up indicating the President of the "Pricipal Occupying Power," or the U.S. mandates Taiwan "the power to self-decide." President Tsai Ing-wen expressed that Taiwan resolves to make a critical step, when she hosted a welcome dinner in her residence on September 8, 2020, for Keith J. Krach, the Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment. It is Tsai’s response to the decision made by the U.S.
