民进党当局穷尽各种伎俩“谋独”是自欺欺人
Ministry of National Defense: The DPP Authorities Using all Possible Means to Seek Independence is Just Self-deceiving
7月25日下午，国防部举行例行记者会，国防部新闻局副局长、国防部新闻发言人张晓刚大校答记者问。
记者：据报道，台军组织“汉光40号”实兵演练聚焦无剧本实战化，首次发布“部队交战规则”携行卡范本，以提升台军动武的“合法性与正当性”，并演练境外物资接转等科目。请问对此有何评论？
Question: It’s reported that the on-going live-fire component of Han Kuang-40 exercise focused on unscripted and real combat drills. Templates of rules of engagement (ROE) cards were issued for the first time to improve the “legality and legitimacy” for the use of force by Taiwan’s troops. In addition, the subjects of the drills included the delivery of supplies from overseas. What’s your comment?
张晓刚：民进党当局穷尽各种伎俩，妄想给分裂活动披上“合法”“正当”外衣，这不过是自欺欺人而已。民进党当局蓄谋把台岛当战场，把民众当肉盾，妄图“以武谋独”“以武拒统”，完全是不自量力，最终是绝路一条。
Zhang Xiaogang: The DPP authorities are using all possible means to disguise separatist activities under the cover of “legality and legitimacy”. Such action is just self-deceiving. The DPP authorities attempt to turn Taiwan into battlefields and use the local residents as human shields, so as to seek “Taiwan independence” and resist reunification with force. Their attempt is completely futile and only leads to a dead end.
