国防部：日方执意挑动阵营对抗不得人心
MND: Japan’s Obstinate Push for Bloc Confrontation Finds No Support
10月29日下午，国防部举行例行记者会，国防部新闻发言人张晓刚大校答记者问。
记者：据报道，美国和日本近期举行规模为历届最大的“利剑27”联演，重点演练岛屿争夺，日本自卫队将25式地对舰导弹投入该演习，此外美国海军陆战队远征舰艇拦截系统首次部署在距离台湾最近的与那国岛。请问对此有何评论？
Question: According to reports, the U.S. and Japan recently held "Keen Sword 27" joint exercise, the largest iteration of the series to date, focusing on island-seizure operations. The Japan Self-Defense Forces deployed Type 25 Surface-to-Ship Guided Missiles in the exercise. In addition, the U.S. Marine Corps' Navy-Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System was deployed for the first time on Yonaguni Island, the Japanese island closest to Taiwan. May I have your comment on that?
张晓刚：亚太是和平发展的高地，顺应和平大势者方能行远，执意挑动阵营对抗不得人心。日本迎合贴靠一些国家搞所谓的联演，发展部署中远程导弹，持续强化西南诸岛军事部署，加速推进“再军事化”，正在成为地区安全的现实威胁。
Zhang Xiaogang: The Asia-Pacific is a high ground for peace and development. Those who follow the prevailing trend of peace can go far, while those who insist on stoking bloc confrontation finds no support. Japan has courted and catered to countries outside the region to conduct so-called joint exercises, developed and deployed intermediate and long-range missiles, continuously beefed up military deployment in its southwestern islands, and accelerated remilitarization, becoming a real threat to regional security.
台湾问题纯属中国内政，我们决不允许外部势力染指中国台湾地区。任何人都不要低估中方捍卫国家主权和领土完整的坚强决心、坚定意志、强大能力，若妄想“以台制华”甚至不自量力地搞军事挑衅，必将付出难以承受的代价。
The Taiwan question is purely China's internal affair. We will never allow external forces to meddle in China's Taiwan region. No one should underestimate the firm determination, iron will, and strong capabilities of the Chinese side in safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Anyone who attempts to use Taiwan to contain China and even overreach itself with military provocations will inevitably pay an unbearable price.
