民进党当局购买武器是迎合美方的自我安慰

　　8月16日下午，国防部新闻局副局长、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，民进党当局可能再次向美求购E-2D预警机，此外台湾防务部门驻美军事代表团近期与“美在台协会”签署“资通系统提升先期规划”标案，旨在增强台军指挥、控制等系统数据链能力。请问对此有何评论?

　　Question:It’s reported that the DPP authorities may once again request to buy E-2D airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft from the US. In addition, Taiwan’s defense mission to the US recently signed with the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) the standard draft on the Advanced Tactical Data Link System Upgrade Planning, aiming at enhancing data link systems of Taiwan’s troops such as command and control systems. Do you have any comment?

　　张晓刚：民进党当局大肆挥霍台湾老百姓的血汗钱购买美国武器，完全是卖台、祸台、毁台之举，不过是迎合美方的自我安慰。

　　Zhang Xiaogang:The DPP authorities are buying weapons with hard-earned money of the Taiwan people. It is an act of complete betrayal detrimental to the interests of the people in Taiwan, and is nothing more than pandering to the US and seeking self-consolation.

　　我们坚决反对美国与中国台湾地区开展任何形式的官方往来和军事联系，敦促美方切实恪守一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报，履行不支持“台独”承诺，停止武装台湾，与中方相向而行，维护台海地区和平稳定。

　　We firmly oppose any official US interaction and military contact with China’s Taiwan region. We urge the US side to truly abide by the one-China principle and three China-US joint communiqués, honor its commitment of not supporting “Taiwan independence”, stop arming Taiwan, and work with the Chinese side to maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.
