Australia's China policy of strategic ambiguity: navigating between big fish

History, little understood, shows that for 55 years a policy of ‘strategic ambiguity’ about the application of the Australia, New Zealand, United States Security Treaty to Taiwan, a flashpoint in Asia, served Australia well. Return to it could lessen the risks of embroilment in any Sino-American war in East Asia, and enhance Australia’s middle-power options.   


《游离于大国之间的澳大利亚对华战略模糊政策》  

55年来,澳大利亚政府从澳大利亚-新西兰-美国安保条约中受益匪浅,而该条约也同样适用于台湾这个位于亚洲的政治敏感地区。关于这段历史鲜为人知。澳大利亚政府现在重新回归战略模糊政策,这样就可以降低澳大利亚卷入中美在东亚地区战争的风险,并且提升澳大利亚作为中等强国的回旋空间。
