　　“中央社”称，台湾每年访美人数约40万人次，申请商务签证和观光签证的约十几万人，他们是免签最大受益者。欣传媒算了一笔账：如果比照英国给予台湾免签后赴英人数增至1.5倍计算，未来每年赴美人数将高达60万人次，届时台湾人省下的申请签证费多达9亿元（新台币，下同）。《联合晚报》称，自宣布免签以来，旅游业业绩至少增加一倍。虽然近期美国遭遇风灾，让游客略为却步，但到美国西部的旅游仍正常出团，比去年同期多两三倍。台中远达旅行社经理吴柏宏说，不少人规划12月赴美过圣诞节和跨年。

　台当局大肆宣扬 Taiwan authorities whoop it up

　　赴美免签被台当局视为今年最突出的“外交”成就。据《联合晚报》1日报道，台“外交部长”林永乐当天称，免签更可凸显台湾是美国“安全及经济的重要伙伴”，使台湾在亚洲更具竞争性。马英九10月31日称，在美国给予免签待遇后，已有129个国家和地区给予“中华民国”国民免签或落地签待遇，占台湾人常去国家和地区的98%，“这是一个重要里程碑……国家受尊敬，人民就有尊严”。“立法院长”王金平称，对照大陆拥有170多个邦交国，却只有20多个国家给予免签待遇，除证明马英九“活路外交”奏效外，更是国际间对台湾民众守法精神及素质的再次肯定和认同。此前马英九还称，因为“中华民国护照”好用，台湾“外交部”最近收到100多名大陆人申请希望换护照，“虽然台湾与多数国家没有邦交，但是在国际上一样能够站起来、走出去”。

27-member states by Taiwan authorities this year as the most outstanding"diplomatic"achievement.According to[United evening news]The 1st,table"Foreign minister"LinYongLe day said,More 27-member can highlight Taiwan is the United States"Safety and economy important partners",Make Taiwan in Asia more competitive.Ma ying-jeou said on October 31,,In the United States dropped to treatment,More than 129 countries and regions to give"The territory of the republic of China"National dropped or landing sign treatment,Taiwanese often go to account for 98% of the countries and regions,"This is an important milestone……National respected,People have dignity"."Legislature,"Wang jin-pyng said,Contrast with more than 170 mainland diplomatic Allies,But only dropped more than 20 countries give treatment,In addition to prove ma ying-jeou"Way out diplomatic"Work outside,Is international Taiwan people to obey the law spirit and quality and recognition again.After Mr Ma also said,because"The territory of the republic of China passport"To use,Taiwan"Foreign ministry"Recently received more than 100 mainland applicants for hope in passport,"Although most countries do not have diplomatic relations with Taiwan,But in the world are able to stand up/Go out".

　　中国社科院台湾研究所研究员王建民11月1日对《环球时报》表示，台湾争取赴美免签的工作早就开始运作，这次能够得以实现，反映出台美关系改善，与台湾同意进口美国牛肉有一定关系，也与两岸关系改善的大背景有关。他说，马英九上台以来提出“外交休兵”，使一些国家在处理与台湾关系时更放松。王建民称，与台湾相比，大陆有13亿人口，出境游起步较晚，游客在境外的文明程度需要提高，更重要的是，大陆与许多国家处于战略竞争状态，所以关于免签的谈判还在进行，短期看来有一定难度，但从长远看，随着大陆国际地位的提高，迟早会得到解决。

By the Chinese academy of social sciences researcher at the institute of Taiwan on November 1, wang to[Global times]said,Taiwan to work for the 27-member begins early operation,This can be achieved,Reflect on beauty relationship improved,And Taiwan agreed to American beef imports have particular concern,And with the relations across the Taiwan straits to improve the background of the relevant.He said,Since he took put forward"Diplomatic Hugh soldiers",Make some countries in dealing with Taiwan relations more relaxed.Wang said,Compared with Taiwan,The mainland has a population of 1.3 billion,Outbound tourism started late,Tourists in overseas civilization needs to improve,More important is,Mainland and many countries in strategic competitive state,So about the 27-member negotiations are still on,The short run is certain difficulty,But in the long run,With the improvement of the mainland international status,Will be solved sooner or later.

　绿营质疑“美牛换美签” Also questioned"Beautiful cattle in American sign"

　　在台当局自鸣得意的同时，美国动作频频。美国在台协会台北办事处处长马启思11月1日跟着免签首发团一起飞往美国。美国商务部副部长桑切斯也特地飞到台湾出席免签酒会，刺激台湾人赴美观光。台《经济日报》透露，美国商务部与台外贸协会签署了“太平洋商贸桥梁协议”意向书，“这是继台湾赴美实施免签后，台美关系发展另一重要里程碑”，且桑切斯是近十年美国来台的最高层商务部官员，首次和具有官方色彩的台湾民间经贸团体签署协议，表明台美经贸关系出现重大突破。《中国时报》注意到，桑切斯不忘大力推销赴美旅游。10月31日晚，他拿着赴美免签宣传单走入台北双城街夜市，沿街分发给民众。他热情地说，希望邀请台湾民众能到阿拉斯加钓鱼、到纽约欣赏戏剧、到休斯敦看林书豪打球。《中国时报》质疑称，“同样也给美国免签待遇，台湾政府为什么不借此机会营销台湾观光？”

In the Taiwan authorities smug and at the same time,The United States frequently action.The American institute in Taiwan Taipei office director MaQiSi November 1 follow starting 27-member group together to the United States.The United States vice commerce minister sanchez also specially to fly to Taiwan to attend party dropped,To stimulate the Taiwanese sightseeing.table[Economic daily]revealed,The us department of commerce and table foreign trade association signed"The Pacific Ocean trade bridge agreement"Letter of intent,"This is the United States after implementation of the Taiwan dropped,Taiwan's relations development another important milestone",And sanchez is nearly 10 years the United States to table the top of the ministry of commerce officials,For the first time and has the official color of Taiwan folk economic and trade group signed the agreement,That table beauty in a major breakthrough in the economic and trade relationship.[The China times]Pay attention to,Sanchez don't forget to vigorously promote tourism.October 31 late,He took the 27-member states flyer into Taipei shuangcheng street,Distributed to people along the street.He passionately say,Hope to invite Taiwanese fishing can to Alaska/To New York theater/To Houston to see LinShuHao play.[The China times]Questioned say,"Also give the United States dropped treatment,The Taiwan government why not take this opportunity to Taiwan's tourism marketing?"

　　绿营则质疑马英九当局是用美牛换美签，或是为了重启经贸谈判。亲绿的《自由时报》称，马英九当局是在收割免签成果，其实从前民进党驻美代表吴钊燮开始就为免签待遇“播种”，而且背后还有许多旅美台侨共同努力。台湾淡江大学教授陈一新1日在接受《环球时报》采访时表示，台湾能获得赴美免签，与经贸关系上对美国让步没有直接联系，美国主要是考虑到：台湾的“护照”和身份证的防伪设计做得比较好，台湾民众的素质不断提高，最后就是台湾是民主社会。当然，也与两岸关系的改善有关。台湾大学政治学教授张亚中也称，台湾这次获得赴美免签未受到国际阻力，两岸关系的改善是关键因素。他说，美国给台湾民众免签的效应是很微妙的，会让台湾人更意识到与大陆人的区别，进而对两岸认同产生一定冲击，而这有利于美国的亚太战略利益。对大陆来说，也可能产生一定压力。
