維基洩密:國民黨顯貴連戰呼籲與中國的信心建立措施

1. 摘要:(機密)國民黨榮譽主席連戰向處長表示,他贊成逐步實施建立信心建立措施,以進一步改善與中國之關係。 連戰對於中國國家主席胡錦濤的關係發言熱烈,但提到在國民黨內有著長久競爭的台灣總統馬英九時顯得失去熱情。 連戰說:還沒決定誰將代表台灣參加即將舉行的亞太經濟合作組織(APEC)論壇首腦會議。 摘要完畢。

探討信任建設措施

2. :(機密)國民黨榮譽主席連戰已成為長期推進兩岸關係的關鍵角色,在成為主席及現今之榮譽主席時,他多次與中國國家主席胡錦濤(以中國共產黨中央委員會總書記身分)會晤,以加強關係。 在十月二日的會談中,處長問到是否關注於中國國慶日前中國展現的軍事力量。連戰回答:「不算特別擔心」,但他表示:探討雙方之間信心建立措施的時機已經到來。 雖然他承認還沒有採取此類措施的共識,但提到本地媒體報導,副國務卿斯坦伯格最近提出了這些步驟的可能性。 連戰說,這些措施將會漸進施行,「一步一步,一片一片」而不是一次到位。連戰的顧問陳錫蕃建議:先建立一個金門與鄰近的中國都市廈門之間敵對指揮部間的熱線,將會是可行的第一步。

再度代表參加APEC?

3. :(機密)當處長問連戰是否會再度代表台灣參加11月12-14日於新加坡舉辦的APEC高峰會,連戰回答說:「我們還沒有決定。」連戰曾率領台灣代表團 參加2008年11月於祕魯舉辦之高峰會,並在該期間會見中國的胡錦濤主席。他說今年代表是誰「有點複雜」,但沒有詳細說明。連戰並開玩笑地說:他希望他 能夠取得馬英九最大的信任,因為是馬決定誰代表台灣參加高峰會。「這才是重點」隨後補充道。

SUBJECT: KMT GRANDEE LIEN CHAN CALLS FOR CONFIDENCE-BUILDING MEASURES WITH CHINA
Classified By: Director Bill Stanton. Reasons: 1,4 b/d
¶1. (C) Summary: Kuomintang (KMT) Honorary Chairman Lien Chan told the Director he favored gradual implementation of confidence-building measures to further improve relations with China. Lien spoke warmly about his relationship with China's President Hu Jintao, but appeared less enthusiastic about Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou, with whom he has had a longstanding rivalry within the KMT. No decision had been made on who would represent Taiwan at the upcoming summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, Lien said. End Summary.
EXPLORE CONFIDENCE-BUILDING MEASURES

¶2. (C) KMT Honorary Chairman Lien Chan has been a longtime key player in pushing forward cross-Strait ties. As Chairman and now Honorary Chairman of the KMT, he has met several times with Chinese President Hu Jintao (in his capacity as Chinese Communist Party General Secretary) to discuss strengthening relations. In their October 2 introductory call, the Director asked whether Lien was concerned by the military might that was on display the day before at China's National Day celebrations. Lien said he was "not overwhelmingly worried" but said the time had come to explore confidence-building measures between the two sides. While he acknowledged there was not yet consensus for such measures, he referred to local media reports that Deputy Secretary Steinberg recently had raised the possibility of such steps. Lien said the measures would have to be employed gradually, "step by step, piece by piece," and not as a package. His adviser, Stephen S. F. Chen, suggested that establishing a hotline between rival commanders on Taiwan's Kinmen island and the nearby Chinese city of Xiamen would be one possible initial step.
RETURNING TO APEC?

¶3. (C) When asked by the Director if he would again represent Taiwan at the November 12-14 APEC summit in Singapore, Lien responded, "we have not decided yet." Lien led the Taiwan delegation at the Peru summit in November 2008, during which he met with President Hu of China. He said the issue of this year's representative was "a little complicated," but did not elaborate. He joked that he hoped he held the greatest trust of President Ma, who will decide who represents Taiwan in November. "That's most important," he added.
LIEN AND MA: NOT BEST BUDDIES

¶4. (C) In fact, Lien said nothing during the introductory call that would counter the popular perception he and Ma, who will become KMT chairman on October 17, have a testy relationship. Lien acknowledged the two did not talk on a regular basis. When the Director initially asked Lien to evaluate Ma's opening to China, he pointedly referred to him twice as "Mr. Ma" instead of "President Ma." When he finally did answer the question much later in the conversation, Lien suggested that whatever advances Ma had made with cross-Strait relations had been done based on his advice. Indeed, throughout the conversation Lien spoke more warmly of his meetings with Hu than of his relationship with Ma.
¶5. (C) Lien also provided a cautionary forecast for KMT prospects in upcoming local elections in December and next year. "It doesn't seem to me we are making winning teams everywhere," he said, referring to President Ma's support of uncorrupt yet untried candidates over time-tested politicians. "The old ones are not all bad," Lien said. He predicted the president would "have some headaches" after taking up the party chairmanship. STANTON
