摘要

由于美国对台政策的战略模糊性，人们经常争论美国是否以及如何保护台湾免受入侵。然而，就美国的政策而言，美国在台湾问题上的法律责任的细节可能提供了一个明确的底线，因为美国作为一个民主国家发现几乎不可能违反美国的法律。通过确认其法律负担，美国的台湾防卫政策可以以一种更复杂的方式重新解释，美国的责任范围由其法律边界确定。

US foreign policy regarding the defence of Taiwan: a critical analysis in accordance with US law

ABSTRACT It has often been argued whether and how the USA would defend Taiwan against invasion because of strategic ambiguities in US policy regarding Taiwan. However, the specifics of America’s legal responsibilities regarding Taiwan may provide an unambiguous bottom line as far as US policy is concerned, because the USA as a democracy finds it almost impossible to infringe the US law. By confirming its legal burden, US policy regarding the defence of Taiwan can be reinterpreted in a more sophisticated way, with the extent of America’s responsibilities defined by its legal boundaries. And the US legal obligation to defend Taiwan by force was affirmed when the USA-ROC Mutual Defense Treaty was valid, but under the Taiwan Relations Act the US legal obligation only covers the provision of sufficient arms.
