　　MND: Taking Resolute Measures to Defeat Any Separatist Attempt for “Taiwan Independence”

　　3月27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：台湾地区领导人赖清德近日宣扬两岸“互不隶属”的分裂谬论，将大陆界定为“境外敌对势力”。解放军3月中旬在台海附近开展了军事演习。有评论称，这是对赖清德“台独”分裂言论和台美近期勾连动向的反制。请问对此有何评论？

　　Question: The leader of the Taiwan region, Lai Ching-te, recently made separatist remarks claiming that the two sides across the Taiwan Strait are “not subordinate to each other” and called the mainland a “foreign hostile force”. In mid-March, the PLA conducted a military exercise near Taiwan. Some said that the exercise was a countermeasure against Lai Ching-te’s separatist rhetoric and recent collusion between Taiwan and the US. What's your comment?

　　吴谦：天欲其亡，必令其狂。台湾是中国的一部分，从来就不是一个国家，过去不是，现在不是，今后也绝不可能是。

　　Wu Qian: As the Chinese saying goes, “When the heaven is about to destroy someone, it first makes them having lunatic ideas.” Taiwan is a part of China. It has never been a nation. It wasn’t in the past. It is not at present, and it will never be in the future.

　　近日，中国人民解放军东部战区位台岛周边海空域组织海空兵力开展战备警巡和联合演训，检验提升部队打仗能力。这是对“台独”分子的有力惩戒，也是对外部干涉势力的严正警告，完全正当、完全必要。

　　Recently, naval and air troops of the PLA Eastern Theater Command conducted readiness patrols and joint exercises in areas around Taiwan to test and enhance their war-fighting capabilities. It serves as an effective punishment and deterrence against the “Taiwan independence” separatists and a stern warning against external interfering forces. It is fully legitimate and necessary.

　　人民军队将坚决贯彻新时代党解决台湾问题的总体方略，全时待战、随时能战、战之必胜，坚决打掉一切“台独”分裂图谋！

　　The people’s military will resolutely implement the Party’s overall strategy for resolving the Taiwan question in the new era. We will remain ready and able to fight and win at all times, and will take resolute measures to defeat any separatist attempt for “Taiwan independence”.
