華盛頓冒著激怒北京的風險，提案改變台灣在美國辦事處名稱
Washington risks Beijing ire over proposal to rename Taiwan’s US office

根據美國官員內部消息，華盛頓認真考慮同意台灣的要求，讓台灣將《台北經濟文化代表處 Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office》更名為《台灣代表處Taiwan Representative Office》
消息指出，Kurt Campbell（白宮亞洲顧問 White House Asia adviser）及許多官員都支持改名。
最終決定尚未定案，若同意，此行政命令將需要由拜登總統親自簽署。
目前美台灣政府尚無發表評論；駐華盛頓的北京大使則表達堅決反對。
The Biden administration is moving towards allowing Taipei to change the name of its representative office in Washington to include the word “Taiwan”, a move likely to trigger an angry response from Beijing.
Multiple people briefed on internal US discussions said Washington was seriously considering a request from Taiwan to change the name of its mission in the US capital from “Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office” (Tecro) to “Taiwan Representative Office”.
Kurt Campbell, White House Asia adviser, has backed the change, according to two people with knowledge of the discussions. One said the request had wide support inside the National Security Council and from state department Asia officials.
A final decision has not been made and would require President Joe Biden to sign an executive order, said people briefed on the matter.
