Taiwan and China leaders to hold historic summit
3.完整新聞內文:
The leaders of Taiwan and China are to hold their first cross-strait
meeting since Taiwan broke away from the rest of China in 1949 after
the Communist party won the bitter civil war against the Kuomintang.
The ensuing dispute over the status of self-governing Taiwan, which
Beijing still regards as a renegade province, has driven a military
build-up in the region and repeatedly raised fears of conflict.
台灣及中國領導人即將在1949年後首度公開會面，在1949共產黨贏得國民黨內戰後。
北京仍然認為是叛變的省分，持續擴張區域軍力，並不斷的提高衝突的恐懼。
The planned meeting on Saturday, announced by Taiwan late on Tuesday, comes
at a highly sensitive time as Taiwan prepares to elect a new president in
January. Relations with Beijing are at the heart of the contest.
The governing KMT, now known for its close relationship with Beijing, is
trailing far behind the opposition Democratic Progressive party in opinion
polls. The DPP wants to enhance Taiwan’s position as a de facto sovereign
state.
在台灣選舉的敏感期，會將會在周六舉行。與北京的關係將會是這場角力的核心。
目前統治台灣的KMT，是眾所皆知的傾中，正在苦苦追趕落後DPP的民調。
DPP想要增強台灣的地位，成為事實上的主權狀態。
A spokesman for Taiwan’s outgoing president, Ma Ying-jeou, said Mr Ma would
meet the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, in Singapore. He said the meeting
was designed to “consolidate cross-strait peace and maintain the status
quo but not to sign any agreement or joint statement”.
Zhang Zhijun, head of Beijing’s Taiwan affairs office, said the leaders
“would exchange views on promoting the peaceful development of cross-strait
relations”, according to Xinhua, China’s state news agency.The DPP criticised the planned meeting, saying it had been arranged in haste
without popular support and looked like attempted political manipulation.
“Currently Taiwan is in an election period and President Ma chooses to
conduct the meeting during this sensitive time, so how can people believe
that this not a political manipulation to affect the election?” the party
said in a statement.
馬的發言人:會穩定海峽兩岸和平但不會簽任何條約或是有聯合聲明
張智中:將交換推動兩岸和平發展的意見
DPP:馬沒有得到大眾的支持，看起來只像政治的操縱
Mr Xi will be in Singapore as part of a trip to Southeast Asia to boost ties
with nations that have become increasingly concerned about China’s assertive
stance in regional maritime disputes. He will first visit Vietnam, with which
some of the most dangerous South China Sea clashes have occurred.
George Tsai, an expert on cross-strait relations at Taiwan’s National
Chengchi University, said that the meeting between Mr Ma and Mr Xi was a “
remarkable surprise”, which highlighted the Chinese president’s bold
leadership.
習近平跑去星國是為了撫平東南亞對於區域海權爭議，會先去越南，
因為最危險的南海爭議目前在此發生。
政大喬治蔡: 馬習會面相當令人驚訝。
“The traditional bureaucrats would recommend that it’s better not to meet
at this time,” he said. “China is sending a signal to voters here that if
you follow Ma’s footsteps then the peaceful development policy will be
continued. If they do not, then it won’t be.”
支那發出一個訊號給投票者表示:如果你追隨馬的腳步，和平發展的政策會繼續，反之。
Mr Tsai said that such a symbolic meeting could boost the position of the KMT
among moderates in Taiwan.

Other commentators argued that this was a “desperate” move that could spark
a backlash.
其他評論者表示這個令人絕望的舉動將會引起反彈
Gerrit van der Wees of the Formosan Association for Public Affairs, a
Washington-based lobby group for Taiwan independence, said that Beijing
“sees that the Kuomintang is in a tailspin” and wants to restrict future room
for manoeuvre by Tsai Ing-wen, the DPP chair and presidential frontrunner.
Sean King of Park Strategies, a US-based public affairs adviser, argued that
the historic meeting would have little impact on the outcome of the election
and could even further damage the KMT, which recently ditched its
presidential candidate because she was seen as too pro-Beijing.
“If anything, it’ll hurt Ma’s KMT, making the Blues look even more like
Beijing’s preferred party,” he said.
韋傑理,一個華盛頓的台獨遊說團體,表示：看起來國民黨正在深淵。希望用來限制未來
DPP總統參選人蔡英文政策的彈性空間。
Sean King: 歷史性會面對選舉結果影響小，但可能會傷害最近棄柱的KMT
有可能，將會傷害馬的KMT，讓藍軍看起來更像是北京喜愛的政黨。
