"We think [China's] missile threat is extremely serious, and we've been engaged with our Taiwan interlocutors on the nature of the threat and what needs to be done to address it." Schriver called for "leadership" in Taiwan to "convince the public that it's necessary to expend the resources to meet the challenge." He admitted that he didn't know "whether a referendum necessarily helps or hurts" but, as if to contradict his earlier suspicions, he acknowledged that Taiwan's leaders must make decisions about resources which are "always difficult in periods of economic challenge." Schriver acknowledged that the first question of the Taiwan referendum is indeed "very divisive" and "very difficult." Certainly he would welcome the "leadership" of Taiwan's president in "focusing the people on the necessity for a sufficient defense budget." 薛瑞福說公投第一題的確是「分歧」與「困難」，他當然樂於見到，臺灣總統引導人民， 使他們注意編列充足的國防預算之必要性。 Despite Washington's suspicions about the motives for Taiwan's referendum, Schriver praised referendums as valuable "tools of democracy." Yet he was surprisingly explicit, given the recent controversy within the US government about the March 20 referendum: "It's also important to note that irrespective of a referendum, we have opinions about these two questions." Should Taiwan focus a "public consensus" on devoting more resources to face the missile threat? "We think that's an absolute 'Yes,'" Schriver said. Should Taiwan engage in government-to-government talks with China without preconditions? Schriver said, "Absolutely." -- There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest. --Elie Wiesel --
