"The US has resisted making any unilateral promise to halt arms sales to Taiwan, because it hopes to trade such a promise against a PRC promise not to use force against Taiwan. But it is clear that communist China will not accept this proposal. Thus the possibility of Taiwan being able to purchase weapons from the US is correspondingly higher."
「因為美國在柯江會中依中共要求發佈『三不』的聲明，一方面又緊扣『軍售』立場不放，美國可能是想以『停止軍售』換取中共不以武力犯台的保證，但很明顯地中共不會接受這樣的提議，於是我國從美方得到軍售的機會相對地提高。」
