国防部：正告民进党当局 美制武器救不了自己的命

MND Warns the DPP Authorities that US Weapons Cannot Save Them

6月9日下午，国防部新闻局副局长、国防部新闻发言人蒋斌大校就近期涉军问题发布消息。

记者：据报道，美正向台湾运送新一批M1A2坦克，并计划未来4年增加对台售武，或超过特朗普第一任期水平。此外，美军前官员称约有500名美军人员在台湾活动，这是美国会此前披露数字的十倍以上。请问发言人有何评论？

Question：It is reported that the US is transporting a new batch of M1A2 tanks to Taiwan and plans to increase its arms sales to Taiwan over the next four years. New arms sales may surpass that of the first Trump administration. In addition, a former official of the US military said that about 500 US military personnel are operating in Taiwan, which is over ten times of the number previously disclosed by the US Congress. What’s your comment on this?

蒋斌：这是由美方和“台独”势力主导、侵犯中方核心利益、妄图改变台海现状、推高台海紧张局势的又一起实证。谁在不顾中方坚决反对一味挑衅？谁又在破坏台海稳定反复拱火滋事？相信世人一目了然。我们对此强烈不满、坚决反对。

Jiang Bin： This is another solid piece of evidence that the US side and the “Taiwan independence” separatist forces are taking efforts to violate China’s core interests, change the status quo across the Taiwan Strait and escalate regional tensions. Who is making provocations despite strong opposition from the Chinese side? Who is undermining cross-Strait stability and repeatedly stirring up troubles? We believe we all know the answers. The Chinese side is strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposed to this act.

台湾问题是中国核心利益中的核心，是中美关系第一条不可逾越的红线。我们敦促美方停止与中国台湾任何形式的军事勾连，否则只会引火烧身、得不偿失；正告民进党当局美制武器救不了自己的命，“倚外谋独”注定失败。解放军将继续加强练兵备战，全面提升打赢能力，坚决粉碎“台独”分裂和外来干涉图谋。

The Taiwan question is at the very core of China’s core interests, and is the first red line that must not be crossed in China-US relations. We urge the US side to stop its military collusion with Taiwan in any form; otherwise it will get burnt for playing with fire and gain more harm than good. We warn the DPP authorities that US weapons cannot save them, and soliciting external support for “Taiwan independence” will only fail. The PLA will continue to strengthen military training and combat readiness and enhance its capability to fight and win. We will take resolute measures to thwart “Taiwan independence” separatist activities and external interference.
