一 | “It is my personal view that the one-China policy has outlived its usefulness, that it is time to move away from strategic ambiguity,” Esper told Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen in a meeting in her office on Tuesday.,Since it switched recognition of the Chinese government from the Republic of China (ROC) in Taipei to the PRC in Beijing in 1979, the US has continued to informally support Taiwan’s autonomy by funneling the government weapons and giving it political cover abroad. However, since a declaration of independence from China would mean war, the US has left it unclear as to whether it would defend Taiwan in the event of an attack by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).,This “strategic ambiguity” is also believed to have deterred Chinese attack, preserving the status quo of Taiwanese autonomy from the mainland since the communist victory in 1949 that led to the foundation of the PRC.,Several times since taking office in January 2021, US President Joe Biden has had to walk back unambiguous and false statements about the US being obliged to defend Taiwan. Following the most recent faux pas in late May, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was compelled to state that Washington “remains committed” to the One China Policy.,"We do not support Taiwan independence, and we expect cross-strait differences to be resolved by peaceful means," the chief diplomat added.,Esper told Tsai it was “important that we begin that national discussion [on strategic ambiguity] back in the United States. It would help us educate the American people if we can also point to bold decisions being made in Taipei.”,“It is important that the American people and our leaders in Washington fully see that the Taiwan people are fully committed to standing up to communist China and defending themselves as we, the democracies of the world, stand behind Taiwan,” he added.,Bipartisan Taiwan Support,Among Washington war hawks and anti-China politicos, Esper’s ideas are popular. Last month, a group of bipartisan senators, including Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Bob Menendez (D-NJ), called on Biden to designate Taiwan a “major non-NATO ally” and dramatically increase military support for Taipei.,“As Beijing continues to seek to coerce and isolate Taiwan there should be no doubt or ambiguity about the depth and strength of our determination to stand with the people of Taiwan and their democracy,” Menendez said in a news release.,Esper, who led the Pentagon for two years under Republican former US President Donald Trump and is a former vice president of defense contracting giant Raytheon, said essentially the same thing in Tsai’s office on Tuesday.,“But the greatest challenge facing the democracies of the West today is not in Russia. It is here in Asia where China continues to challenge the rules-based international order [and] threatens freedom-loving people throughout the region,” Esper said, adding that Taiwan was on the front lines of that challenge and that the US and other “Western democracies” had to stand up and defend Taiwan from Beijing.,Esper arrived in Taiwan on Monday for a four-day visit at the head of a delegation sent by the Atlantic Council, a hawkish “Atlanticist” Washington think tank with major influence over US foreign policy. He was accompanied by two leading academics from the institution. Theirs is the latest in a series of high-profile visits by Americans in recent years, including Esper’s Trump administration comrade, former Secretary of State and former CIA director Mike Pompeo.,Pelosi Reschedules Taiwan Trip,House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the third-highest-ranking politician in the United States after the president and vice president, announced on Tuesday that she had rescheduled a visit to Taiwan that was originally scheduled for this past spring but was postponed when she contracted COVID-19. The visit is now slated for August.,Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian denounced Pelosi’s visit on Tuesday, but did not speak directly to Esper.,“We firmly oppose any form of official interaction between the US and the Taiwan region,” Zhao said. “If Speaker Pelosi visits Taiwan, it would seriously violate the one-China principle and the stipulations in the three China-US joint communiqués and harm China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. It will have a severe negative impact on the political foundation of China-US relations, and send a gravely wrong signal to ‘Taiwan independence’ separatist forces. China firmly opposes such a visit.”,He also attacked the Taiwan Relations Act, the US law passed in 1979 that outlines Washington’s “obligations” to Taiwan and is often cited as justification for pro-Taiwan US policies, saying it “seriously breaches widely recognized international laws and basic norms in international relations and runs counter to the one-China principle and the stipulations in the three China-US joint communiqués.”,“The so-called ‘Taiwan Relations Act’ is a domestic legislation unilaterally adopted by the US,” Zhao said. “China has never recognized the Act and has always rejected it. A domestic law like this is no justification or rationale for the US to brazenly interfere in China’s internal affairs and sell arms to Taiwan.”。本文来自微信公众号：国民经略（ID：guominjinglve），作者：凯风，原文标题：《晋级！又一个国家级都市圈，来了》，头图来自：AI生成时隔半年，国家级都市圈再次扩容。据吉林省官方透露，《长春都市圈发展规划》已正式获国家发改委复函，成为东北第2个、全国第18个国家级都市圈。就在不久前，“推动城市群一体化和都市圈同城化发展”，被写入顶层文件，都市圈、城市群时代全面到来。抱团竞争，谁走在最前列？一、省会“一城独大”，为何还要打造都市圈？说起强省会，成都、武汉、西安是绕不开的存在。但论省会首位度，长春才是最大竞争者，与银川轮流登顶。数据显示，2024年，长春GDP7632亿元、人口908.5万人，分别占吉林全省的53.1%、39.2%。过去几十年来，长春历经多次扩容，最近当属2020年合并公主岭市，长春由此成为5大扩容省会之一。

二 | 作为“东北F4”，身为副省级城市，加上强省会的加持，长春在吉林省地位独一无二。然而，大不等于强，对此，当地官方直言不讳：长春“一城独大”格局比较明显，但尚未有效形成对全省高质量发展的支撑效应。

三 | 因此，以长春为中心，打造同城化的都市圈，推动交通、产业、科技、公共服务等资源外溢，就成了必然。 “强省会”诉诸的是集聚、虹吸效应；“强都市圈”则遵循辐射、溢出、抱团和协同发展效应。根据规划，长春都市圈涵盖长春市、吉林市、四平市、辽源市等4个地市，面积约2.97万平方公里，常住人口约1210万。吉林省体量不算大，只有9个地级行政区划，长春都市圈“切”走近半，GDP总量提升到全省2/3左右。虽然都市圈更大，但也意味着告别强省会思维，转向联动发展。从“强省会”到“强都市圈”，是长春的关键一跃，也是发展理念之变。二、东北F4，谁在领跑？早在2023年，沈阳都市圈率先晋级，成为东北第一个、北方第二个国家级都市圈。这一次长春都市圈获批，“东北F4”只有大连、哈尔滨仍在路上。众所周知，全国共有15个副省级城市，东北占据其四：沈阳、大连、长春、哈尔滨。且不说计划时代“东北F4”一度跻身TOP10之列，即使到了今天，在国家战略大局中，仍被赋予重要角色。在国家批复的2035总体规划中，东北F4，谁的定位最高？总体来看，沈阳的定位更为综合，大连侧重于海洋属性，长春、哈尔滨被赋予“向北开放”的重任。作为“老大哥”，沈阳拿下了独一无二的“东北亚国际中心城市”，在全国的“中心城市”矩阵中，同样独此一家。同时，沈阳还是“全国先进制造业基地”，而其他三城只是“东北先进制造业基地”，凸显沈阳工业之于东北的重要性。与之对比，作为东北GDP第一城，大连拿下了东北唯一的“现代海洋城市”，且以东北亚国际航运中心、国际物流中心为定位。港口奠定大连的区位优势，而其主导产业多半与此有关，包括石化、造船、装备制造和电子信息等。去年，大连、沈阳GDP双双突破9000亿元，大连达到9500亿以上，今年有望挑战万亿大关。与之对比，长春、哈尔滨着眼的都是东北地区。两城被赋予“东北地区重要的中心城市”、“向北开放门户”、“东北先进制造业基地”、“区域创新型高地”等共同定位。不同的是，哈尔滨是“国际性综合交通枢纽”，还多了国际冰雪旅游地功能，而长春只是“全国性综合交通枢纽”。两城共同被赋予“向北开放门户”，与乌鲁木齐的“向西开放门户”可谓异曲同工，反映的是地缘之变的区域新格局。全球化时代，对外交往的重心在于欧美；但随着形势发生变化，大西南、大西北、东北等成了最大受益者。

四 | 置身其中的东北F4，有望迎来新的发展机遇。三、18个国家级都市圈，谁缺席了？随着石家庄、长春都市圈接连获批，国家级都市圈已扩容到18席。覆盖绝大多数重点城市，但还有部分地区付之阙如。一类是，京沪两大塔尖城市，都市圈规划罕见没有落地。

五 | 都市圈规划牵一发而动全身，京沪两大超级城市更是如此。哪些地区该纳入，区域之间如何协同，要经过漫长的博弈。更何况，北京都市圈，涉及“都”与“城”、“城”与“圈”的多重关系。上海大都市圈，究竟是“1+8”还是“1+13”一直悬而未决。此前，长三角出台6大都市圈协同发展行动方案，将苏锡常、宁波都市圈与上海大都市圈并列。事实上，苏锡常、宁波从属于上海大都市圈，“圈中有圈”如何协调，也是新的课题。另一类是腰部省会，包括哈尔滨、昆明、南昌、南宁、贵阳、太原等等。
