In 1990, in a lecture at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington DC, I said that although Communist China was unlikely to mount a large-scale military attack against Taiwan, it could use "paramilitary" means--such as military exercises or missile tests--to force Taiwan to the negotiating table.
一九九○年我在美國華府「倫理及公共政治中心」演講時就提過：雖然北京不太可能大規模軍事攻台，但中共會以「次軍事」的方式，如演習、飛彈試射等方式，逼迫台灣上談判桌。
