The MND: Taiwan will Return and Have a Better Future

  1月17日上午，国防部新闻局局长、国防部新闻发言人吴谦大校就近期涉军问题发布消息。

  记者：台湾“中央社”报道，台湾地区领导人赖清德近日发表讲话时妄称，中国、俄罗斯等国正威胁以规则为基础的国际秩序，严重影响印太及全球和平稳定。台湾应继续提高“国防”预算，强化“国防”力量。请问对此有何评论？

  Question: According to the “Taiwan Central News Agency”, Lai Ching-te, leader of the Taiwan region recently said that countries like China and Russia threaten the rule-based international order and undermine peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond. Therefore, Taiwan needs to continue to raise “defense budget” and enhance “defense capabilities.” What’s your comment?

  吴谦：赖清德之流数典忘祖、一派胡言。《开罗宣言》和《波茨坦公告》等一系列国际法文件明确台湾回归中国，这是二战后国际秩序的重要组成部分。二战的胜利果实必须得到尊重和维护，台湾除了作为中国的一部分，没有其他的国际法地位。

  Wu Qian: Lai Ching-te and his kind have betrayed their ancestors and what he said was far away from the truth. International documents including the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation have confirmed that the Taiwan region should be returned to China. Such fact is an important part of the post-WWII international order. The victory and outcome of the WWII must be respected and safeguarded. There is no other status of the Taiwan region in the international law than being a part of China.

  事实上，赖清德当局勾连外部势力不断谋“独”挑衅，已经成为破坏台海乃至亚太地区和平稳定的最大乱源。正告赖清德当局及“台独”分子，“以武谋独”，不过是螳臂当车，完全是自掘坟墓。搞“台独”绝不会有好下场，解放军打“独”促统绝不会有一丁点手软。我们有充分的理由相信，台湾当归，归来天地宽。

  The Lai Ching-te administration, in collusion with foreign forces, has been making constant provocations for “Taiwan independence”. It is now the biggest source of chaos that undermines peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and the Asia Pacific. We warn the Lai Ching-te administration and separatists for “Taiwan independence” that any attempt to seek independence by force is just like holding back the tide with a broom, and will eventually lead to self-destruction. Those seeking “Taiwan independence” will never have a good end. The PLA will spare no effort to fight separatism and promote national reunification. We have full confidence that the Taiwan region will return to the motherland and will have a better future after its return.
