4月12日下午，国防部新闻局局长、国防部新闻发言人吴谦大校就近期涉军问题发布消息。

记者：据报道，台海军司令近日窜访位于夏威夷的美军印太总部，并出席美军有关活动。有评论称，此访是美落实“联合岛屿防御概念”的组成部分，旨在同台当局协调，在“第一岛链”内对抗中国军事力量。请问对此有何评论？

Question: It is reported that Taiwan’s Naval Chief recently visited the headquarters of US Indo-Pacific Command in Hawaii and attended relevant events of the US military. Some sources said that this visit is part of the US efforts to implement the “Joint Island Defense Concept”. Its aim is to coordinate with the Taiwan authorities to counter China’s armed forces within the “first island chain”. Could you please comment on that?

吴谦：中方坚决反对美国与中国台湾地区开展任何形式的官方往来和军事联系，这一立场清晰明确。台湾是中国领土不可分割的一部分，解决台湾问题是中国的内政，不容任何外来干涉。

Wu Qian: The Chinese side is firmly opposed to any form of official exchanges and military contacts between the US and China’s Taiwan region. Our position is clear-cut. Taiwan is an inalienable part of China’s territory. To solve the Taiwan question is purely China’s internal affair and brooks no foreign interference.

所谓“第一岛链”是冷战时期地缘政治的产物，任何围堵中国的企图都不过是痴心妄想。中方敦促美方切实恪守一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报规定，将不支持“台独”的承诺真正落到实处，立即停止美台军事勾连和官方往来。正告民进党当局，甘当“棋子”必成“弃子”，妄图“以武谋独”，只有死路一条。对于任何形式的“台独”分裂行径，解放军都将予以迎头痛击。

The so-called “first island chain” is a product of the Cold War geopolitics. Any attempt to block and contain China is nothing but wishful thinking. We urge the US side to truly abide by the one-China principle and the three China-US Joint Communiqués, fulfill its commitment to not supporting “Taiwan independence”, and immediately stop its military collusion and official contact with Taiwan. We warn the DPP authorities that the “chess piece” in other’s power game will ultimately be abandoned; and “seeking independence by force” will get nowhere but a dead end. The PLA will take resolute actions against any form of separatist actions seeking “Taiwan independence”.
