中國打壓美方不忍了！　AIT：國務院籲各州擴大與台交流「遭施壓可求助」

美國在台協會（AIT）今天臉書發文表示，美國國務院、農業部及商務部近日聯合致函各州州長與美國企業領袖，鼓勵進一步擴大與台灣在貿易、投資、教育、觀光及災害防備方面的交流，並重申此類合作完全符合《台灣關係法》下的美國政策。

AIT也貼出相關信函照片，在致州長的信函中，特別強調了州政府與地方政府在深化雙邊關係中所扮演的獨特角色，包括在災害防備及關鍵基礎設施韌性方面的合作。另外，致企業領袖的信函則著重於雙方廣泛的商業機會，國務院鼓勵各公司積極運用美國政府資源以獲取正確訊息。

AIT進一步指出，兩份信函皆強調了美台夥伴關係的重要性與深度。台灣目前是美國第四大貿易夥伴、全球先進製造與數位經濟的領頭羊，同時也是雙方在貿易、投資及民間交流上的歷史性夥伴。

此外，信函中也特別提醒，中國大使館及領事館近期曾聯繫各州政府辦公室與私營企業，試圖阻撓其與台灣的交流，且往往對美國政策進行曲解。信函明確呼籲，任何遭受此類外部施壓的州政府、地方官員及企業領袖，可直接與國務院聯繫以尋求協助。

AIT發文之英文原文如下：
The U.S. Departments of State, Agriculture, and Commerce have issued joint letters to U.S. governors and American business leaders encouraging expanded engagement with Taiwan on trade, investment, education, tourism, and disaster preparedness — affirming that such engagement is fully consistent with U.S. policy under the Taiwan Relations Act.

The letter to governors highlights the unique role state and local governments can play in deepening these ties, including cooperation on disaster preparedness and critical infrastructure resilience. The letter to business leaders emphasizes the wide range of commercial opportunities available and encourages companies to engage with U.S. government resources for guidance.

Both letters underscore the importance and depth of U.S.-Taiwan partnership. Taiwan is the United States' fourth-largest trading partner, a global leader in advanced manufacturing and the digital economy, and a historic partner in trade, investment, and people-to-people ties.

Additionally, the letters caution that China's embassy and consulates have contacted state offices and private businesses to discourage engagement with Taiwan, often mischaracterizing U.S. policy. State and local officials and business leaders who receive such pressure are encouraged to contact the Department of State directly for assistance.
