美国对台湾的援助政策初探:1949～1953年

A Tentative Investigation of American Policy to Aid Taiwan in the Period from 1949 to 1953

1949～1953年是冷战开始后美台关系的起点.这一时期美国对台湾的援助政策具有相当的稳定性,尽管在执行过程中采取了一些“模糊”策略,但并不存在由“放弃”到“扶植”的明确转折,更没有放弃台湾的切实行动.至1953年共和党执政时,美国对台湾援助政策的最大限度是将其作为“战略后备军”服务于美国的远东冷战.

The period from 1949 to 1953 was the starting point of American-Taiwan relations after the beginning of the Cold War. During these years, the US government pursued a quite stable policy in aiding Taiwan. Although some 'ambiguous' tactics were adopted there was no clear-cut turn in American policy from 'giving up' to 'propping up,' to say nothing of concrete actions of abandoning Taiwan. Before the Republican Party came into power in 1953, the maximum limit of American policy on Taiwan was to try to use it as a 'strategic reserve force' to serve the American Cold War in the Far East.
