美方不要欺骗误导美国民众和国际社会

The US Side Should Not Deceive and Mislead the US People and the International Community

6月26日下午，国防部举行例行记者会，国防部新闻发言人张晓刚大校答记者问。

记者：据报道，近期美国防部长在国会听证会上称，中国是“步步紧逼的威胁”，美方将优先增加印太地区威慑力，“以实力求和平”。美国“大而美”法案明确将拨款120亿美元用于“太平洋吓阻计划”，提升印太部队战备实力，强化台湾防卫能力。请问发言人有何评论？

Question: It is reported that the US Secretary of Defense recently claimed at a congressional hearing that China is a “pacing threat”, and that the US will prioritize re-establishing deterrence in the Indo-Pacific region to “achieve peace through strength”. The One Big Beautiful Bill of the US would allocate 12 billion US dollars for the “Pacific Deterrence Initiative”, further strengthening combat readiness of US forces in the Indo-Pacific and boosting defense capabilities of Taiwan. What’s your comment?

张晓刚：大国相处之道不应是零和博弈，和平共处是中美两国应共同守住的底线。中国的发展对任何国家都不构成威胁，也从来不像有的国家那样搞威慑、胁迫那一套。

Zhang Xiaogang: Zero sum game should not be the way that major countries get along with each other, and peaceful coexistence should be the bottom line both China and the US should keep. China never threatens any country with its own development, neither does it resort to deterrence and coercion like a certain country.

台湾问题纯属中国内政，不容任何外来干涉。美方一再背信弃诺，执意武装台湾，最终只会引火烧身、自食苦果。我们敦促美方树立客观理性对华认知，不要总拿中国说事，欺骗误导美国民众和国际社会，而是要为两国两军关系发展创造有利条件。

The Taiwan question is purely China’s internal affair which brooks no foreign interference. The US side has repeatedly gone back on its own words and kept arming Taiwan, which would only backfire. We urge the US side to have an objective and rational perception of China, stop blaming China on everything, and stop deceiving and misleading the US people and the international community, so as to create favorable conditions for developing state-to-state and mil-to-mil relations between China and the US.
