國防部：“天價”與“廢舊”是美對臺軍售的兩個“馳名商標”
The MND: Sky-high Price and Obsolete Functions are Two Hallmarks of US Arms Sales to Taiwan
10月15日下午，國防部新聞局局長、國防部新聞發(fā)言人吳謙大校就近期涉軍問題發(fā)布消息。
記者：據(jù)報道，美國政府問責局近日指控雷神公司，在對臺2013年“愛國者”導(dǎo)彈系統(tǒng)采購案和2017年雷達系統(tǒng)采購案中涉及欺詐，賣價格昂貴的導(dǎo)彈和雷達給臺灣地區(qū)。臺國民黨籍民意代表痛批美軍火商行徑如同詐騙集團。請問對此有何評論？
Question: According to media reports, the US Government Accountability Office recently accused Raytheon of fraud in selling expensive weapons to Taiwan, which procured the Patriot missile system in 2013 and radar systems in 2017 from that company. A public opinion representative from the Kuomintang criticized US arms dealers as fraud dens. Do you have any comment?
吳謙：我們堅決反對美國向中國臺灣地區(qū)提供武器。需要指出的是，有關(guān)報道只是揭開了冰山一角。近年來，民進黨當局極盡諂媚之能事，百般向美國主子求購武器，島內(nèi)百姓的血汗錢揮霍了很多，得到的卻是一堆破銅爛鐵，養(yǎng)肥的是一幫貪官污吏和軍火商，這已引發(fā)島內(nèi)民眾越來越多的反對和不滿。
Wu Qian: We firmly oppose US provision of weapons to China’s Taiwan region. I believe what the reports revealed is only a tip of the iceberg. The Democratic Progressive Party Authorities have been doing every thing to court their masters in the US to buy weapons, which only wasted hard-earned money of people in Taiwan. It is evident that what they bought are pieces of junk that only benefited corrupted officials and arms dealers. There are growing opposition and dissatisfaction from the local people.
“天價”與“廢舊”是美國對臺軍售的兩個“馳名商標”。從發(fā)霉防彈衣到過期彈藥，再到價格虛高的導(dǎo)彈雷達，可以看出美國人的眼里只有“美國利益”?！芭_獨”是絕路，外人靠不住。妄圖“倚美謀獨”，終將自取滅亡。
Sky-high price and obsolete functions are two hallmarks of US arms sales to Taiwan. From mouldy bulletproof vest to expired ammunition to expensive missiles and radars, we can see that the Americans only care about American interests. “Taiwan Independence” is a dead end and outsiders are never reliable. Those who try to rely on US support for independence will only court their own destruction.
