11月30日下午，国防部举行例行记者会，国防部新闻局局长、国防部新闻发言人吴谦大校答记者问。
记者：有报道称，中方没有所谓的“2027年或者2035年攻台计划”，这是否意味着武力攻台还是选项，但时间表可能更早，甚至有学者认为，这与台湾明年的大选结果相关，想请问发言人有何回应。
吴谦：台湾是中国领土神圣不可分割的一部分，台湾问题是中国核心利益中的核心。我们坚持以最大诚意、尽最大努力争取和平统一的前景。但如果“台独”分裂势力挑衅逼迫甚至突破红线，我们将不得不采取断然措施，坚定捍卫国家主权和领土完整。这是14亿多中国人民的坚定意志，也是中国人民解放军的神圣使命。
“倚美谋独”注定徒劳，“以武谋独”死路一条。无论谁想把台湾以任何形式从中国分裂出去，中国人民解放军都决不答应，决不手软。
Wu Qian:Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. The Taiwan question is at the core of China's core interests. We will strive for the prospect of peaceful reunification with utmost sincerity and efforts. However, should “Taiwan independence” separatists provoke or coerce us, or even cross the red line, we will be compelled to take resolute measures to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. This echoes with the firm will of over 1.4 billion Chinese people and is the sacred mission of the PLA.
“Relying on US support for independence” is bound to fail, and “resisting reunification by force” leads to nowhere. No matter who tries to split Taiwan from China in any form, the PLA will never accept it and will take resolute measures.
