美國《時代》雜誌於23日接連刊登三篇關於台灣的專文，分別探討台灣在國際局勢中的角色及可能引發的風險。其中，最引人注目的是由華府智庫「國防重點」（Defense Priorities）的亞洲計畫主任戈德斯坦撰寫的《美國必須警惕台灣魯莽的領導人》（The U.S. Must Beware of Taiwan’s Reckless Leader）。
這些文章不僅反映了國際社會對台灣問題的高度關注，也為台灣未來的外交及安全政策提供了重要的警示。
一、台灣處於戰爭陰影下
首先，《台灣在戰爭陰影下》（Taiwan in the Shadow of War）一文指出，台灣正面臨來自中國大陸日益增強的軍事壓力。文章強調，中國大陸的軍事現代化及其對台灣的強硬態度，使得台灣在地緣政治中處於非常危險的位置。隨著美中關係日益緊張，台灣作為兩國博弈中的核心議題，無疑成為可能引爆衝突的導火索。此時，台灣領導人更需謹慎行事，避免採取可能激怒北京的行動。
二、如何避免台海戰爭
其次，《如何避免台海戰爭》（How Trump Can Avoid a War Over Taiwan）則從美國角度出發，分析如何避免因台灣問題導致的衝突升級。文章指出，美國應採取更為理性且穩健的外交策略，避免過度刺激中國大陸。同時，也提醒台灣領導人應避免向美國施壓，要求過度的軍事支持，因為這可能進一步加劇美中之間的矛盾。文章建議，美國與台灣應共同尋求和平解決方案，維持現狀或尋求務實的外交途徑，才能確保地區穩定。
