日内瓦（美联社）——瑞士议会下院投票决定加强与台湾立法机构的关系，此举可能会在西方立法者最近访问台湾后进一步激怒中国。
周二晚些时候，瑞士国民议会以 97 票对 87 票、8 票弃权的投票结果指示议会办公室“加强”与台湾元立法院的关系，以帮助加强民主、和平与稳定，深化两国间的经济、政治、科学和文化交流。 瑞士和台湾。
左倾政党普遍支持该措施，而主要的右翼和自由市场政党则反对。 该措施仅涉及下议院； 据瑞士议会新闻办公室称，上议院——国务委员会——不一定要排队才能生效。
现在，该问题将提交给一个外交事务委员会，以探讨如何将这项措施付诸实施。
如果实施，瑞士的姿态将成为外国立法者在面对大陆执政的共产党的恐吓时支持自治的岛屿民主的新策略，中共声称台湾是其领土的一部分并威胁要入侵。
这项措施得到了社会党议员法比安·莫利纳 (Fabian Molina) 的支持，他于 2 月率领议会代表团前往台湾会见了总统蔡英文。
莫利纳在接受电话采访时表示，这次投票证明了瑞士的主权——即使是面对像中国这样的大国。
“瑞士与中国有着非常密切的政治关系——我会说有时太密切了——因为这阻碍了我们也公开反对某些侵犯人权行为或某些问题，”莫利纳说。 但他承认投票“也不意味着我们与中国的关系发生了彻底的大转弯”。
包括德国和美国在内的其他国家的立法者也参加了类似的代表团。 所有这些国家的政府都与北京有外交关系，而不是与台湾有外交关系，大陆声称台湾是其领土的一部分。
瑞士外交部在一封电子邮件中表示，瑞士坚持其“一个中国”政策，“不与台湾当局建立正式外交关系； 然而，技术层面的交流是可能的，也是可取的。”
中国驻日内瓦外交使团发言人刘玉印表示，“一个中国”原则是国际社会的“普遍共识”，也是中国与其他国家建立外交关系的“基础”。
最近，中国加强了孤立台湾的运动，剥离了该岛为数不多的外国外交伙伴，其中大多数是非洲和拉丁美洲的穷人。
3 月，洪都拉斯成为最新一个与台湾断绝关系并将官方承认转向北京的政府。

GENEVA (AP) — Switzerland’s lower house of parliament has voted to tighten ties with the legislature in Taiwan, a move that could further rankle China after recent visits by Western lawmakers to the island.
The Swiss National Council voted 97-87 with eight abstentions late Tuesday to instruct parliamentary offices to “strengthen” relations with Taiwan’s Yuan legislature, as a way to help strengthen democracy, peace and stability, and deepen economic, political, scientific and cultural exchanges between Switzerland and Taiwan.
Left-leaning parties generally supported the measure, while the main right-wing and free-market parties opposed it. The measure only relates to the lower house; the upper house — the Council of States — doesn’t necessarily have to line up for it to take effect, according to the Swiss parliament’s press office.
The issue now heads to a foreign affairs committee to explore how to put the measure to work.
If carried out, the Swiss gesture would be a new tactic by foreign lawmakers to support the self-ruled island democracy in the face of intimidation by the mainland’s ruling Communist Party, which claims Taiwan as part of its territory and has threatened to invade.
The measure has been championed by Socialist lawmaker Fabian Molina, who led a parliamentary delegation to Taiwan in February that met with President Tsai Ing-wen.
In a phone interview, Molina said the vote demonstrated Swiss sovereignty — even with a power like China.
“Switzerland has very close political relations with China — I would say sometimes too close — because it hinders us to also speak up against certain human rights violations or against certain problems,” Molina said. But he acknowledged the vote “does not mean that we make a complete U-turn in our relations with China” either.
Lawmakers from other countries, including Germany and the United States, have taken part in similar delegations. All come from countries whose governments have diplomatic relations with Beijing rather than with Taiwan, which the mainland claims as part of its territory.
The Swiss Foreign Ministry, in an email, said Switzerland is sticking to its “One China” policy, which “excludes formal diplomatic relations with the authorities in Taiwan; however, exchange on a technical level is possible and desirable.”
Liu Yuyin, a spokesman for China’s diplomatic mission in Geneva, said the “One China” principle was the “prevailing consensus” in the international community and the “foundation” of China’s diplomatic ties with other countries.
Recently, China has stepped up its campaign to isolate Taiwan by peeling away some of the island’s few remaining foreign diplomatic partners, most of them poor and in Africa and Latin America.
In March, Honduras became the latest government to break ties with Taiwan and switch official recognition to Beijing.
