详解《沈阳协议》的翻译和含义解读

近日，《沈阳协议》的翻译引起广泛讨论和关注。针对此事，我们来深入解读一下《沈阳协议》的具体翻译和含义。

我们来看看《沈阳协议》的英文原文：

1. Reaffirmation of the "one China" policy

The United States of America reiterates that it has no intention of infringing on China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, or interfering in China's internal affairs, or pursuing a policy of "two Chinas" or "one China, one Taiwan." The United States of America acknowledges that Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain there is but one China and that Taiwan is a part of China. The United States of America acknowledges the Chinese position that there is but one China and Taiwan is part of China. The United States of America reiterates that it does not challenge that position.

2. Steps to normalize relations

The United States of America and the People's Republic of China have agreed to the Joint Communiqué of the United States of America and the People's Republic of China issued on February 28, 1972, which sets forth that both sides will seek normalization of their relations. The United States of America recognizes the Government of the People's Republic of China as the sole legal government of China. Within this context, the people of the United States will maintain cultural, commercial, and other unofficial relations with the people of Taiwan.

3. Arms sales to Taiwan

In order to bring about, over time, a peaceful settlement of the Taiwan question by the Chinese themselves, the United States of America will progressively reduce its forces and military installations on Taiwan as the tension in the area diminishes. The United States of America intends to reduce its forces on Taiwan to a level of 25,000 men, replacing them with a small defense group. The United States of America intends to help the Republic of China on Taiwan maintain a sufficient selfdefense capability, consistent with the obligations of the United States under the 1954 Mutual Defense Assistance Act and the 1955 Taiwan Defense Act. The United States of America will not carry out a longterm policy, which is inconsistent with the foregoing.
