following are the commments on a piece of news on pchome:

不過卜睿哲也表示，儘管美國不會為了大陸而放棄
台灣，但台灣要維持與美國的關係也應該做好四件事，
包括：

首先，確保擁有一個實用可靠的防衛嚇阻力量，足以應對威脅；

which means we should buy certain arms from them; which means some part of our taxes would go into their pockets.

第二、相信美國會是整個東亞地區「和平捍衛者」；

which means we must believe in them and trust them.

第三，在台海兩岸關係以及理解北京觀點上，與美國建立更廣泛的共識；

which means we should share their views and respect their standpoints on their relation with the mainland.

最後，做到前三點並與美國保持良好溝通對話。

which means we should establish communication channels and have to stand the enormous costs of these channels.
