国防部：民进党当局“倚外谋独” 只会将台湾推向兵凶战危
The MND: DPP Authorities’ Soliciting External Support for Taiwan Independence Will Push Taiwan to the Brink of War
11月15日下午，国防部新闻发言人张晓刚大校就近期涉军问题发布消息。
记者：据报道，台湾考虑向美国进行大规模军事采购，向美国新政府展现加强防卫的决心。美方公开了台军秘密派员赴美训练接装“海马斯”火箭炮信息，台防务部门证实接装了11套“海马斯”火箭炮。请问发言人对此有何评论？
Question: It’s reported that Taiwan was considering purchasing a big package of US weapons, to show the incoming US administration its seriousness about stronger defense. The US side disclosed that Taiwan secretly dispatched troops to the US for training on HIMARS. The defense authorities of Taiwan confirmed that 11 HIMARS had been delivered. What’s your comment on this?
张晓刚：中方敦促美方立即停止武装台湾，停止破坏台海和平稳定的危险行径。民进党当局出卖台湾利益结美国主子欢心，妄想“倚外谋独”，只会将台湾推向兵凶战危。我们正告民进党当局，买什么武器都不堪一击，必将自取灭亡。解放军将全面加强练兵备战，全面提升打赢能力，坚决粉碎“台独”分裂图谋和外部势力干涉。
Zhang Xiaogang: The Chinese side urges the US side to immediately stop arming Taiwan and cease its dangerous actions jeopardizing peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. The DPP authorities sell the interests of the people in Taiwan to ingratiate its US master and attempt to solicit external support for “Taiwan independence”. Such behaviors will only push Taiwan closer to the brink of war. We warn the DPP authorities that buying more weapons is futile and will only court self-destruction. The PLA will enhance combat readiness and our ability to fight and win, and firmly thwart any attempt for "Taiwan independence" and any interference by external forces.
