本課程的目標，是要解釋21世紀初期，扭轉兩岸關係的最重要因素，也就是為什麼美國總統川普要發動美中貿易戰背後的背景因素。兩岸關係不是單純只是台灣與中國的關係，還關係到當前全球兩大強權的競爭，雙方都視台灣為自己的核心利益，但卻不是最優先目標。對台灣而言，和平、繁榮與主權是最重要的。對中國而言，共產政權的維繫大過一切。而對美國而言，保持在亞洲地區的霸權與和平是首要目標。而美中競爭的本質，已經再一次改變兩岸關係的本質。美中建交前，兩岸正處於金門砲戰之中，而現在美中關係退化到一個臨界點，也帶來國際秩序正在產生劇烈的變化，對於許多國家，包含台灣，在經濟與政治都產生深刻影響。國際體系與秩序是一個隨著大國力量變化而不斷變動的產物，而兩岸關係也逃不離這樣的影響，如何在此困境中追求兩岸關係的穩定，是本課程的教學重點。The goal of this course is to explain the most important factor in reversing cross-strait relations in the early 21st century, which is the background factor behind why U.S. President Trump launched the U.S.-China trade war. Cross-Strait relations are not simply the relationship between Taiwan and China. They are also related to the current competition between the two major powers in the world. Both sides regard Taiwan as their core interest, but it is not their top priority. For Taiwan, peace, prosperity and sovereignty are the most important. For China, the maintenance of the communist regime is more important than anything else. For the United States, maintaining hegemony and peace in Asia is the primary goal. The nature of competition between the United States and China has once again changed the nature of cross-strait relations. Before the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and China, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait were in the midst of an artillery battle at Kinmen. Now that the relationship between the United States and China has deteriorated to a critical point, the international order is undergoing drastic changes, which has profound economic and political consequences for many countries, including Taiwan. influence. The international system and order is a product that is constantly changing with the changes in the power of major powers, and cross-Strait relations cannot escape this influence. How to pursue the stability of cross-Strait relations in this dilemma is the teaching focus of this course.
