The MND: Taiwan will Return and Have a Better Future

　　1月17日上午，國防部新聞局局長、國防部新聞發言人吳謙大校就近期涉軍問題發布消息。

　　記者：臺灣“中央社”報道，臺灣地區領導人賴清德近日發表講話時妄稱，中國、俄羅斯等國正威脅以規則為基礎的國際秩序，嚴重影響印太及全球和平穩定。臺灣應繼續提高“國防”預算，強化“國防”力量。請問對此有何評論？

　　Question: According to the “Taiwan Central News Agency”, Lai Ching-te, leader of the Taiwan region recently said that countries like China and Russia threaten the rule-based international order and undermine peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond. Therefore, Taiwan needs to continue to raise “defense budget” and enhance “defense capabilities.” What’s your comment?

　　吳謙：賴清德之流數典忘祖、一派胡言。《開羅宣言》和《波茨坦公告》等一系列國際法文件明確臺灣回歸中國，這是二戰后國際秩序的重要組成部分。二戰的勝利果實必須得到尊重和維護，臺灣除了作為中國的一部分，沒有其他的國際法地位。

　　Wu Qian: Lai Ching-te and his kind have betrayed their ancestors and what he said was far away from the truth. International documents including the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation have confirmed that the Taiwan region should be returned to China. Such fact is an important part of the post-WWII international order. The victory and outcome of the WWII must be respected and safeguarded. There is no other status of the Taiwan region in the international law than being a part of China.

　　事實上，賴清德當局勾連外部勢力不斷謀“獨”挑釁，已經成為破壞臺海乃至亞太地區和平穩定的最大亂源。正告賴清德當局及“臺獨”分子，“以武謀獨”，不過是螳臂當車，完全是自掘墳墓。搞“臺獨”絕不會有好下場，解放軍打“獨”促統絕不會有一丁點手軟。我們有充分的理由相信，臺灣當歸，歸來天地寬。

　　The Lai Ching-te administration, in collusion with foreign forces, has been making constant provocations for “Taiwan independence”. It is now the biggest source of chaos that undermines peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and the Asia Pacific. We warn the Lai Ching-te administration and separatists for “Taiwan independence” that any attempt to seek independence by force is just like holding back the tide with a broom, and will eventually lead to self-destruction. Those seeking “Taiwan independence” will never have a good end. The PLA will spare no effort to fight separatism and promote national reunification. We have full confidence that the Taiwan region will return to the motherland and will have a better future after its return.
