國(guó)防部：“天價(jià)”與“廢舊”是美對(duì)臺(tái)軍售的兩個(gè)“馳名商標(biāo)”

The MND: Sky-high Price and Obsolete Functions are Two Hallmarks of US Arms Sales to Taiwan

10月15日下午，國(guó)防部新聞局局長(zhǎng)、國(guó)防部新聞發(fā)言人吳謙大校就近期涉軍問(wèn)題發(fā)布消息。

記者：據(jù)報(bào)道，美國(guó)政府問(wèn)責(zé)局近日指控雷神公司，在對(duì)臺(tái)2013年“愛(ài)國(guó)者”導(dǎo)彈系統(tǒng)采購(gòu)案和2017年雷達(dá)系統(tǒng)采購(gòu)案中涉及欺詐，賣(mài)價(jià)格昂貴的導(dǎo)彈和雷達(dá)給臺(tái)灣地區(qū)。臺(tái)國(guó)民黨籍民意代表痛批美軍火商行徑如同詐騙集團(tuán)。請(qǐng)問(wèn)對(duì)此有何評(píng)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(jiān)決反對(duì)美國(guó)向中國(guó)臺(tái)灣地區(qū)提供武器。需要指出的是，有關(guān)報(bào)道只是揭開(kāi)了冰山一角。近年來(lái)，民進(jìn)黨當(dāng)局極盡諂媚之能事，百般向美國(guó)主子求購(gòu)武器，島內(nèi)百姓的血汗錢(qián)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(lái)越多的反對(duì)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(jià)”與“廢舊”是美國(guó)對(duì)臺(tái)軍售的兩個(gè)“馳名商標(biāo)”。從發(fā)霉防彈衣到過(guò)期彈藥，再到價(jià)格虛高的導(dǎo)彈雷達(dá)，可以看出美國(guó)人的眼里只有“美國(guó)利益”。“臺(tái)獨(dú)”是絕路，外人靠不住。妄圖“倚美謀獨(dú)”，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.
