12月28日下午，國防部舉行例行記者會，國防部新聞局局長、國防部新聞發(fā)言人吳謙大校答記者問。
記者：美國總統(tǒng)拜登近日正式簽署“2024財年國防授權(quán)法案”，包括提高美國軍費(fèi)、增強(qiáng)太平洋威懾力及對抗中國在印太地區(qū)軍事擴(kuò)張等，還提出要協(xié)助臺灣加強(qiáng)防務(wù)。請問國防部有何回應(yīng)？
吳謙：美方法案無端渲染所謂“中國軍事威脅”，粗暴干涉中國內(nèi)政，嚴(yán)重?fù)p害中國主權(quán)、安全、發(fā)展利益，中國軍隊對此強(qiáng)烈不滿、堅決反對。
美國國防費(fèi)用在世界主要國家中名列第一，高于其后9個國家軍費(fèi)的總和，約占全球軍費(fèi)開支總額40%。美方一方面加速自身軍力發(fā)展，強(qiáng)化亞太軍力部署，鞏固雙邊軍事同盟，拼湊三邊安全伙伴關(guān)系和“四邊機(jī)制”；另一方面卻一再拿中國說事，炒作并不存在的“中國軍事威脅”，種種操弄加劇國際社會的陣營對抗和軍備競賽態(tài)勢，對當(dāng)前的國際安全體系和全球治理體系造成嚴(yán)重沖擊。我們要求美方摒棄過時的舊安全觀與零和博弈的冷戰(zhàn)思維，客觀理性地看待中國、看待中國軍力發(fā)展，以免陷在霸權(quán)迷思中難以自拔。
臺灣問題純屬中國內(nèi)政，不容任何外來干涉。我們堅決反對任何國家與臺灣開展任何形式的官方往來和軍事聯(lián)系。美方通過各種手段操弄臺灣問題，是十分危險的“賭注”行為。我們要求美方充分認(rèn)清該法案涉華條款的嚴(yán)重危害性，停止借任何名義、以任何方式武裝臺灣，停止“以臺制華”的挑釁行徑，以實際行動維護(hù)地區(qū)和平穩(wěn)定。
Wu Qian: The US Act makes groundless hypes about the so-called “China military threat”, grossly interferes in China’s internal affairs, and severely harms China’s national sovereignty, security and development interests. The Chinese military strongly deplores and firmly opposes to that.
The US military expenditure tops the world and is larger than those of the next nine countries combined, accounting for 40% of the total global military expenditure. On the one hand, the US is accelerating its military development, intensifying military deployment in the Asia-Pacific, strengthening bilateral military alliance, and piecing together AUKUS and QUAD. On the other hand, it is making an issue of China, hyping up the so-called“China military threat” out of thin air. Such manipulations intensify block confrontation and arms race and cause a severe impact on the current international security system and global governance system. We urge the US to abandon the out-dated security vision and zero-sum cold war mentality, view China and China’s military development in an objective and rational light, instead of being obsessed with the pursuit for hegemony.
The Taiwan question is purely China’s internal affair, which brooks no foreign interference. We firmly oppose any country to have official and military contact with Taiwan in any form. The US is manipulating the Taiwan question in various forms, which is a very dangerous gamble. We urge the US to fully realize the severe harm of the China-related content in the NDAA, stop arming Taiwan under any excuses and by any means, stop its provocations by using Taiwan to contain China, and take concrete actions to maintain regional peace and stability.
