Liu Pi-jung points out that in the dialectical relationship between the US and PRC in Asia, their rivalry seems to allow Taiwan some diplomatic room for maneuver, but at the same time their cooperation seems to undermine the basis for the ROC to exist in international society. "The international situation that our country faces diplomatically is extremely paradoxical."
劉必榮指出，在美國與中共於亞洲的辯證關係中，美「中」的對抗似乎代表了我國尚有外交空間存在，但在美「中」的結盟關係中，我國似乎又喪失了存在於國際社會的位置，「我國在外交上所面臨的國際局勢是非常矛盾的。」
