("根據國史館資料,蔣中正當時發給陳誠的電報原稿如下:台灣陳主席(誠)。昨電諒達。刻閱報并承重要同志來談,對弟在記者席上談話皆多責難,實令中無言以對,且聞弟對何浩若許多主張屬其轉達在京同志")
My comment:
(a) This is a summary of what happened recently, I learn of it only today, as Taiwan erupts in debates.
(b) Regarding the quotation (my interpretation):
(i) 弟 = 中 (as in 令中無言以對) = 蔣中正
(ii) 何浩若 https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/何浩若
(1899 (born in Hunan)—1971 (died in Taiwan); "諾維琪大學騎兵科,1927年畢業")
" 'If the war in Ukraine ends, we should be able to shift our focus back to Taiwan's defense needs,' Raymond Greene [谷立言], director of the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT), said in an interview with Taiwan's newspaper Liberty Times, which was published on Monday [Mar 10].
"The AIT is the de facto US Embassy in Taiwan. Greene, who assumed his duties as the AIT director in July 2024, is the most senior American official on the island. Prior to this assignment, he served as the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Japan
• Judging from the Liberty Times report, Greene was talking about arms delivery shifting from Ukraine to Taiwan, not the sfifting of US military to East Asia in preparation of Taiwan contigency.
• Laura Rosenberger tenure as AIT chair(person) (based in Arlington, Virginia; AIT chair is vacant presently; direct boss of AIT director Raymond F Greene who assumed office July 8, 2024) was March 2023 to Jan 21, 2025 (inauguration day).

• There is speculation within Taiwan that AIT raised the issue now to confront China over its claim that Taiwan (and possible use of military force on it) is 中國內政.
