东部战区新闻发言人张春晖空军大校表示，6月22日，美“威尔伯”号导弹驱逐舰穿航台湾海峡并公开炒作。
BEIJING, June 23 -- The USS Curtis Wilbur (DDG-54) sailed through the Taiwan Strait and hyped it publicly on June 22. Air Force Senior Colonel Zhang Chunhui, spokesperson for the Chinese PLA Eastern Theater Command (ETC), denounced the US provocative move in a written statement on Wednesday.
美方故伎重施在台海滋事搅局，是对地区安全局势的蓄意破坏，对台海和平稳定的严重危害，充分说明美是地区安全风险的最大制造者，我们对此表示坚决反对。
Snr. Col. Zhang said in the statement that the US played the old trick to provoke troubles in the Taiwan Strait, deliberately disrupted and undermined the regional security situation, and jeopardized the peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, which fully manifested that the US is the biggest troublemaker for the regional security. "China is firmly opposed to that," added Zhang.
中国人民解放军东部战区组织海空兵力全程跟监警戒。东部战区部队时刻保持高度戒备，随时应对一切威胁挑衅，坚决捍卫国家主权和领土完整。
He also stressed that the Chinese PLA Eastern Theater Command has organized its naval and air forces to conduct whole-process tracking and monitoring on the US warship. The troops of the PLA ETC will keep high alert all the time and be ready to respond to all threats and provocations, in a bid to resolutely safeguard China’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
