【美國學者對和平中立的支持】
美國學者Jerome Keating以「東方瑞士即將到來」（ Becoming a Switzerland of the East）為題，在Taipei Time 撰寫評論肯定呂秀蓮前副總統所推動的「和平中立」運動。國際友人的支持，是我們持續努力的動力。
＃關鍵內文
What position, then, should Taiwan take?
Former vice president Annette Lu has repeated that Taiwan should declare a position of permanent neutrality akin to that of Switzerland, which has an army and where military service is required of all young men.
Taiwan is a formidable fortress; any attack on it would require a buildup that would be difficult to hide in today’s age of satellites and the attacking nation would pay a heavy price. Furthermore, a position of permanent neutrality would thwart any attempt by China to claim a moral high ground.
Taiwanese must therefore see that their most practical and reliable course remains in maintaining their democracy, developing military strength and avoiding megalomaniac leaders. Being a Switzerland of the East does have merit.
那麼, 台灣應該採取什麼立場呢？
前副總統呂秀蓮重申，台灣應宣佈與瑞士類似的永久中立地位，瑞士有軍隊，所有年輕人都需要服兵役。
台灣是一座強大的堡壘，對它的任何攻擊需要積累，很難在當今衛星的時代隱藏，而侵略將付出沉重的代價。此外，永久中立的立場將阻礙中國聲稱的道德制高點的任何企圖。
因此，台灣人必須看到，他們最實際、最可靠的道路仍然是維護民主，發展軍事實力和避免產生狂妄自大領導人。作為東方的瑞士確實有其可取之處。
