《經濟學人》16日透過官方X帳號轉發最新評論,以「Taiwan is sorely in need of more things that would make President Xi Jinping pause before attempting a Chinese takeover」為開場,意指台灣目前最需要的,是增加足以讓習近平在企圖併吞台灣前重新盤算的條件。
不過文章緊接著指出,台灣內部的「internal feuding」(內鬥)以及「irresponsible politicians」(不負責任的政治人物),正在傷害這座島嶼。配合文章封面標題「Act of self-harm」(自我傷害),以及副標「Dysfunction is hurting Taiwan's democracy」(政治失能正在傷害台灣民主),明確將矛頭指向台灣內部政治運作失靈。
