【聚傳媒張競評論】5月21日美國華府智庫「新美國安全中心」(Center for A
New American Security)以「區域與全球對臺海有事之反應—檢視火線下建構聯盟之前景」(Regional and Global Responses to a Taiwan Contingency: Gauging the Prospects for Coalition-Building Under Fire)為題，發表研究報告。
出資支持此項研究報告金主是誰？其實答案很明顯：
This report was made possible with the generous support of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States.
整份報告篇幅不長，連上封面與封底不過26頁。
對於這份報告所提建議：
The report includes several recommendations for U.S. policymakers should they choose to mount an effective coalition defense of Taiwan during a contingency, recommending they:
*Prioritize preventing a Taiwan contingency;
*Reinforce with Taipei how much would hinge on Taiwan’s contingency response, both in terms of demonstrating will and capabilities;
*Expect limited contributions but be creative in exploring what in the spectrum of intervention might be possible;
*Deepen intra-Asian and Euro-Asian security ties that include the United States;
*Support and, where possible, facilitate the growth of intra-Asian security ties that do not rely on the United States as the hub; and
*Plan for humanitarian evacuation operations as a means to encourage Southeast Asian countries to think through a Taiwan contingency.
您會不會覺得很突兀呢？可是當前綠營政府與臺灣社會國家安全學界，再加上喉舌媒體對此報告宣傳力度卻是反常地低，讓人十分意外。倒底是有什麼難以接受與面對的真話，還是有什麼inconvenient truth嗎？
