While Washington is focused on Russian election interference, China is
rapidly advancing its own election-meddling capability using social media,
illicit funding and false news. The Chinese government’s massive and
successful interference in Taiwan’s elections last month shows Beijing is
getting into the game in a major way.
雖然華盛頓專注於俄羅斯的選舉干預，但中國正在利用社交媒體，非法資金和虛假新聞迅
速推進自己的選舉干預能力。上個月中國政府對台灣選舉的大規模和成功干涉表明北京正
在以這一種主要方式介入台灣。
Washington is slowly but surely waking up to China’s multifaceted foreign
influence operations. But many here remain skeptical about the threat of
Beijing’s direct interference in American politics. The Trump administration
said Beijing interfered in the 2018 U.S. midterm elections, but there wasn’t
a ton of visible evidence. After what just happened in Taiwan, however, few
can now argue that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) doesn’t have the means
and the motive to perpetrate such acts.
華府逐漸意識到中國正多方面的對外國的內政介入並影響。但許多人仍對北京直接干涉
美國政治的威脅持懷疑態度。川普政府表示，北京干預了2018年的美國中期選舉，但沒
有大量明顯的證據。然而，在台灣的事情發生之後，現在很少有人認為中國共產黨不具備
做這種事情的手段和動機。
“CCP attempts to erode democratic processes and norms around the world
threaten U.S. partnerships and prosperity,” six U.S. senators, led by
Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), wrote last week in
a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Treasury Secretary Steven
Mnuchin, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and FBI Director
Christopher Wray. “Allegations such as those surrounding Taiwan’s recent
elections must therefore be pursued with seriousness and urgency.”
“中共正試圖侵蝕世界各地的民主和制度，威脅到美國和伙伴的關係和繁榮，”由六位美
國參議員上週在一封信中寫道。並轉交給國務卿，財政部長，國家情報局局長和FBI主任。
因此，必須認真地追究對於中國介入台灣選舉的指控。
The senators asked the Trump administration to work with Taiwanese
authorities to investigate events leading up to the November elections that
saw sweeping losses for the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and its
leader President Tsai Ing-wen. Beijing carried out a massive propaganda and
social media campaign that spread false news designed to undermine Tsai’s
government. The CCP refuses to deal with Tsai in objection to her
cross-Strait policies.
參議員們要求川普政府與台灣當局合作，調查11月大選的事件，這次大選為執政的民進黨
及其領導人蔡英文帶來全面損失。
北京開展了大規模的宣傳和社交媒體活動還有破壞蔡政府的虛假新聞。
(這一切源於，腦補)
中共拒絕妥協於蔡英文的兩岸政策。
Tsai futilely urged Taiwanese citizens to see Beijing’s effort for what it
was — a Russian-style influence campaign. The island’s 23 million citizens
were bombarded with anti-Tsai and anti-DPP content through Facebook, Twitter
and online chat groups, promoted by China’s “50-cent army” of paid social
media trolls. There are also dozens of investigations into allegations that
Chinese money went to fund Taiwanese candidates opposing Tsai and the DPP.
蔡英文徒勞地告訴台灣公民北京正在使用俄羅斯式的方式影響台灣選舉。該島的2300萬公
民通過Facebook，Twitter和線上討論區受到反蔡和反DPP內容的狂轟爛炸。這一切是由中
國“ 五毛黨 ”的網軍所推動。
另外還有數十項關於中國資金用於資助反對蔡和民進黨的台灣候選人的指控的調查。
“If true, CCP interference in Taiwan’s elections would be deeply concerning
not only for Taiwan’s future, but also for fellow democracies around the
world where the CCP may choose to interfere,” the senators wrote. “In an
era of growing authoritarian interference, we believe such allegations must
be taken seriously if free societies are to continue to thrive.”
參議員寫道：
“如果這是真的，中共對台灣選舉的干涉不僅會對台灣的未來產生深刻影響，也會對世界
各民主國家產生深刻的影響。”
“在一個越來越多的專制干涉時代，我們認為，如果要讓自由社會繼續蓬勃發展，必須認
真對待這些指控。”
After the elections, Chinese state media pointed to Tsai’s losses as
evidence that her tough stance vis-à-vis China was unpopular and
wrongheaded. Beijing’s overall goal is to replace her with a more malleable
leader in Taipei as part of its broad effort to exert control over Taiwan and
weaken Taipei’s relationships with the international community.
選舉結束後，中國官媒指出蔡的失敗是由於她對中國的強硬立場，導致她不受歡迎和政策
不合情理的證據。
北京的總體目標是扶植一個取代她在台北更具有可塑性的領導者，作為其對台灣施加控制和
削弱台北與國際社會關係的廣泛努力的一部分。(區長的概念)
The Chinese government is bribing or coercing foreign governments to break
diplomatic relations with Taiwan, pressuring them to evict Taiwan from
international organizations. Beijing is also threatening foreign companies
unless they literally erase Taiwan from their websites. Their ultimate goal
is to dissolve the U.S.-Taiwan partnership and subjugate the island to the
People’s Republic of China (PRC).
中國政府賄賂或脅迫外國政府破壞與台灣的外交關係，迫使他們將台灣趕出國際組織。北
京也在威脅外國公司，除非他們從刪除台灣並改稱呼。他們的最終目標是解散美台夥伴關
係並將該島征服並納入中華人民共和國。
“The PRC is engaged in an intensifying political warfare campaign that is
aimed at isolating Taiwan by suppressing the island’s international space so
that all roads in and out must go through Beijing, while directly interfering
with the island’s political process by manipulating social and political
tensions to subvert its democratic system,” said Russell Hsiao, executive
director of the Global Taiwan Institute.
“中華人民共和國正在進行一場通過壓制台灣的國際空間來隔離台灣的強化政治戰爭運動
，以便所有進出的道路必須通過北京，同時通過操縱社會和政治緊張局勢直接干擾該島的
政治進程。顛覆民主制度，“
全球台灣研究中心執行董事蕭良其如此表示。
That’s a foreign policy issue that Washington should address for its own
sake. But the fact that Beijing is using Russian-style political interference
tools should prompt a full-scale national security alarm. The capabilities
Beijing is honing in Taiwan could do huge damage if applied to the United
States. China is testing them on a country it knows well but preparing for
their use around the world.
這是華盛頓應該解決的外交問題。北京採用的俄羅斯式政治干預應該會引發全面的國家安
全警報。如果應用於美國，北京在台灣進行演練的能力可能會造成巨大的破壞。中國正準
備在全世界國家進行測試。
There’s credible evidence that China is already using cyber campaigns to
interfere in the politics of other foreign countries, as was seen in Cambodia
this year. There are more and more Chinese government-friendly social media
trolls and bots on Twitter, attacking American companies and journalists.
Meanwhile, Chinese influence operations on American soil are ramping up as
the U.S.-China relationship continues to worsen.
有可靠的證據表明，中國已經在利用網絡運動來干涉其他國家的政治，正如柬埔寨今年所
見。Twitter上有越來越多的中國政府友好的社交媒體巨獸和免洗帳號，正在攻擊美國公司
和記者。與此同時，隨著美中關係繼續惡化，中國在美國土地上的影響力正在加劇。
There’s a lot Washington can do. Rubio and Cortez Masto have introduced
legislation calling for a comprehensive report on CCP influence operations
inside the United States. The Trump administration has done well in calling
out the problem, but must do more with allies to share information, develop
counter-technology and bolster civil society for resilience.
華盛頓可以做很多事情。盧小比和卡地斯馬斯托已經提出立法，要求就美國境內的中共影
響行動提供全面的報告。川普政府在解決問題方面做得很好，但必須與盟友做更多的事情
來分享信息，發展反技術並加強民間社會的復原力。
The U.S. government is always fighting the last battle instead of preparing
for the next one. Russian political interference is the short-term emergency,
but Chinese political interference is the long-term challenge. Taiwan’s
recent experience shows just how bad things can get. The United States can’t
wait until it’s too late.
美國政府總是在不見棺材不掉淚，而不是為居安思危，常常備戰。俄羅斯政治干預是短期
緊急情況，但中國的政治干預是長期挑戰。台灣最近的經歷表明，事情有多糟糕。美國不
能等到為時已晚。
