The Charge in China (Strong) to the Secretary of State
SECRET TAIPEI, January 2, 1950-1 p. m.
Cantel 3. As new arrival Taipei I am being given the "treatment" by Formosan
Independence "Movement"（台灣獨立運動）. Conversations with Peter Huang and
Philip Ng and perusal of their propaganda have served only to establish their
utter lack of realism, absence of any militant and armed popular foundation,
and complete reliance on US to achieve their aims and
assure their livelihood forever.
(味其言觀其文，可知其昧於現實，無可戰之兵，復將自身理想及其生存全然寄望於美國
的援助之上。)
It seemed desirable to attempt to straighten out their thinking in relation
to China scene as to US, and to prevent misconception as to nature of any
personal relations with me.
In brief, they were told in friendly manner, as my personal opinion, that
Formosans themselves, unarmed, could not get rid of Chinese now on Island
（他們被委婉地告知：根據我個人的意見，福爾摩沙人在沒有自己的武裝基礎的狀況下，
無法擺脫中國政權掌控）;
US would require several divisions of troops plus supporting naval and air
forces to take and keep control over Island, a responsibility which we are not
prepared to assume
（美國得生出幾個師的軍隊跟海空支援資源來掌控這個島，而美國不打算負這個責任）;
for time being any hope for independence lay with Nationalists not with Communi
sts, and thus measures designed weaken Nationalists merely served increase chances Communist
control, so Formosans must recognize facts, not avoid them
（所以福爾摩沙人必須面對現實而不是逃避現實）,
and they should not forget that Formosa fits intolarge pattern from which it
cannot be separated arbitrarily
（而且福爾摩沙人也不該忘記，福爾摩沙不能自以為可以獨自於世界之外運作）;
and although US sympathetic to Formosan aspirations, there were very few
grounds for optimism now and foreseeable future.

(上略)
中共在 1949 年打敗國民黨、成立中華人民共和國，國民黨政府則被迫走避台灣。
沒多久（1950.1.5），杜魯門總統宣佈台灣是中國的領土；緊接著（1950.1.12），
國務卿艾奇遜（Dean G. Acheson, 1949-53）將台灣、以及南韓排除於美國在遠東的
「防衛範圍」（defense perimeter）。
在美國維持中立的情況下，中共政權期待一舉揮軍渡海「解放」台灣。

美國務院起草【對台灣問題政策宣傳指示】，聲明【台灣從歷史上和地理上是中國的一部
分，純屬中國的責任範圍】。1950年元月5日，杜魯門總統發表正式聲明，重申《開羅宣
言》及《波茨坦宣言》關於台灣歸還中國的規定，還明確表示過去四年來美國及其他盟國
承認中國對該島行使主權。當天下午，艾奇遜國務卿舉行記者會，重申美國不會介入中國
內戰以及不干預台灣局勢的基本立場，更將台灣排除在美國太平洋防線之外。
