国防部：“汉光”演习虚张声势 自欺欺人

The MND: The Han Kuang Exercise is Nothing but Bluffing and Self-deceiving

7月8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，台军7月9日起将进行“汉光41号”演习实兵演练，重点演练所谓“灰色地带袭扰应对”“联合反登陆作战”及“岛上持久防御”等课目，多款美制装备将首次参演。请问发言人有何评论？

Question: According to reports, Taiwan’s military will conduct the Han Kuang-41 live-troop exercise starting from July 9. The exercise will focus on such subjects as the so-called “response to gray-zone harassment”, “joint anti-landing operations” and “resilient defense on the Island”. Meanwhile, many US weapons will make their debut during the exercise. What’s your comment?

蒋斌：“汉光”演习不过是民进党当局虚张声势、自欺欺人的把戏，企图将台湾老百姓绑上“台独”战车，为一党之私害台毁台。我们正告民进党当局，妄图“以武谋独”死路一条。无论怎么演、用什么武器，都抵挡不住解放军的反“独”利剑，阻挡不了祖国必然统一的历史大势。

Jiang Bin: The Han Kuang exercise is nothing but a bluffing and self-deceiving trick played by the DPP authorities to hijack Taiwan compatriots on-board its “Taiwan Independence” war chariot. The DPP authorities are harming Taiwan out of its selfish interests. We solemnly warn the DPP authorities that "seeking independence by force" is a dead end. Whatever subjects they drill and whatever weapons they use, the PLA’s resolute countermeasures against “Taiwan Independence” would not be deterred, nor would the overwhelming and irresistible trend of China’s national reunification be stopped.
