北京10月28日电 -- 中方坚决反对美国与中国台湾地区进行任何形式的官方往来和军事联系。任何仰人鼻息、挟洋自重，阻挠国家统一和民族复兴的图谋终将失败，一名国防部发言人周四在例行记者会上表示。
BEIJING, Oct. 28 -- "China strongly opposes any official contacts and military ties between the US and China's Taiwan region. Any attempt to obstruct national reunification and rejuvenation by slavishly soliciting and depending on foreign support is doomed to fail," said a Chinese defense spokesperson at a regular press conference on Thursday.
据报道，民进党当局近期一再炒作美台军事联系，另有台所谓“陆军司令”率团赴美，期间参加美陆军协会年度会议，并与美防务部门和军队人员会面。
According to reports, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities of China's Taiwan region have repeatedly hyped up Taiwan's military ties with the US. Especially recently, Taiwan’s so-called “Army Commander” led a delegation to visit the US, during which they attended the annual meeting of the Association of the US Army and met the personnel from the US defense department and military.
“我们已向美方表达严重关切并提出严正交涉，要求美方必须就此向中方作出澄清，”国防部发言人谭克非大校表示。
"We have expressed serious concern and lodged solemn representations to the US side, urging the US side to make clarifications to China," said Senior Colonel Tan Kefei, a spokesperson for China's Ministry of National Defense.
谭克非提到，一段时间以来，美方一些人违背一个中国的政治承诺，不断打“台湾牌”，向“台独”分裂势力发出极其错误信号，给中美两国两军关系和台海和平稳定带来严重负面影响。
Tan mentioned that, for some time, some Americans have violated the political commitment of the one-China principle, constantly played the "Taiwan card" , and sent extremely wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" secessionist forces，which has resulted in a seriously negative impact on the relations between the two countries and two militaries, as well as the peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.
“如果美方继续顽固抱守“以台制华”幻想，企图以“切香肠”方式实质性提升美台军事联系,中方将坚决予以反制和回击，”谭克非说道。
"If the US continues to stubbornly hold to the illusion of making an issue out of Taiwan so as to contain China, and attempts to substantially improve the military ties between the US and Taiwan region in the "salami-slicing" approach, China will resolutely take countermeasures and fight back," Tan said.
祖国完全统一的历史任务一定要实现，也一定能够实现。中国人民解放军将采取一切必要措施，挫败外部势力干涉和“台独”分裂行径，坚决捍卫国家主权和领土完整，谭克非强调。
The historical task of complete reunification of our country must be and will be realized. The Chinese PLA will take all necessary measures to stop the interference by external forces and secessionist actions by the “Taiwan independence” force, and resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, Tan stressed.
