| 摘要 | News reports have already moved on from the historic meeting earlier this month in Singapore between China’s President Xi Jinping and Taiwan’s President Ma Ying-jeou. The summit may have been notable as the first encounter between the leaders of the two countries since Chiang Kai-shek fled to Taiwan in 1949, but it also raised questions in scope far beyond the China-Taiwan relationship. Above all, Asia watchers should be intrigued whether Xi’s presence at the meeting indicates that Chinese foreign policy finally is evolving toward adoption of more liberal norms of international behavior on questions of core national interest. After all, it was only 19 years ago that Beijing tried to influence the first direct Taiwanese presidential election by launching ballistic missiles near the island. That came after prior missile launches in 1995 over then-leader Lee Teng-hui’s visit to Cornell University, his alma mater. The blatant attempt the following year to intimidate Taiwan’s voters not to elect Lee, a pro-independence candidate, in the first open election in the island’s history prompted Bill Clinton to send two U.S. aircraft carriers through the Taiwan Strait. The effects of this crisis set the stage for the subsequent era of Chinese foreign and security policy. To the United States and many Asian regional states, a China that in the mid-1990s had just begun its economic and military ascent suddenly appeared both threatening and diplomatically immature, and therefore a potentially uncontrolled danger. Beijing’s response to the U.S. Navy’s intervention, on the other hand, was to embark on a major military buildup, fueled by annual double-digit increases in its defense budget, designed in no small part to field weapons that could target U.S. forces operating in Asia, and thus prevent a similar humiliation from ever taking place again.
