My comment: The report is not on Today's WSJ. I wonder if it is in WSJ Asia or tomorrow's WSJ.

台湾淡江大学国际事务与战略研究所副教授施正权对说 "[美国对台武器销售不可能停止] * * *
说，两岸'政经分离'的关系发展模式似乎已走到尽头。有报道说，海协会和海基会在两岸经济架构协议签署后，事务性商谈议题似将枯竭。

"展望中美关系时，[新加坡国立大学东亚问题研究所研究员] 陈刚说：“中国已不满足做一个地区性大国。在利比亚，在东非，中国随着在全球利益的扩散，已实际上成为一个全球性大国，而不是一个地区性大国，同美国这个全球性大国都存在利益冲突。这个冲突绝不仅限于传统的台湾问题、人民币问题、或者朝鲜半岛问题。我认为，未来10到15年的中美关系，可能摩擦会越来越多。

Note: Mr Chen Gang talks about US in decline. US does not take it kindly, which is China's narrative. Indeed Mr Chen is from China.

(3) Independently, the arms group that pushes for arms sales to Taiwan voices the same: Giving Taiwan up to China, as suggested by a George Washington professor, will not sate China's thirst for power.

("《读卖新闻》周一报道了美国政府对修复日美关系的前原下台强烈失望，报道引述美国官员说，一点点的钱竟能迫使外相辞职，真难理解日本的政治")
