记者：据报道，澳大利亚国防部长达顿近期接受采访时就澳是否会武装台湾称，澳将尽其所能慑止中方在地区的“侵略”行为。此前，针对澳方声称的所谓中国军舰“激光照射”事件，达顿曾表示澳必须公开中国的霸凌行为。 澳国防部也多次发表声明为澳军机抵近侦察行为辩解。请问发言人有何评论？
Reporter: It is reported that recently Australian Defense Minister Peter Dutton claimed that Australia will do "whatever we can" to deter China from "acts of aggression", when asked about the prospect of arming Taiwan in a interview. Previously, as for the so-called incident of "laser irradiation" by Chinese warships, Mr Dutton said that Australia must expose China's bullying behavior. The Australian Defense Ministry has also issued several statements excusing for Australian military aircraft’s close-in reconnaissance on Chinese naval vessels. What's your comment?
谭克非：我们注意到有关报道。澳防务领导人有关言论粗暴干涉中国内政，肆意歪曲中方维护国家主权和领土完整的行动，这充分暴露了其冷战思维和意识形态偏见，严重损害中澳两国两军关系。中方对此表示强烈不满和坚决反对。
Tan Kefei: We've noticed the relevant reports. Australian defense chief's remarks grossly interfered in China's internal affairs and wantonly distorted China's actions to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, which fully exposed his Cold War mentality and ideological bias and seriously damaged relations between the two countries and their militaries. China is strong discontent with and firmly opposed to it.
台湾问题纯属中国内政，不容任何外来干涉，轮不到澳方说三道四。解决台湾问题、实现国家完全统一，是任何人任何势力都阻挡不了的历史大势。在台湾问题上挑事，只会跳得越高摔得越重。中国人民解放军严阵以待，坚决挫败任何外部势力干涉和“台独”分裂图谋。
The Taiwan question is purely an internal affair of China which brooks no outside interference, and Australia has no business making irresponsible remarks. No one and no force can stop the historical trend that China will solve the Taiwan question and realize a complete national reunification. Anyone who makes troubles on the Taiwan question will suffer the worst consequences in the end. The Chinese people's Liberation Army is always in full readiness to thwart resolutely any interference from external forces and any "Taiwan independence" plot by separatist forces.
关于中澳舰机相遇一事，中方已说明了事件的来龙去脉、是非曲直。在此我要再次强调，在与澳军机相遇的全过程中，中方舰艇始终保持安全、规范和专业的操作，符合有关国际法和国际实践。从我方舰艇拍摄的视频可以看出，澳机对我舰进行近距离侦察，这在意图上是充满恶意的，在操作上是极不专业的，给双方舰机及人员安全造成威胁。澳方不反躬自省，反而一再散播虚假信息，对中方进行不实指责，不断鼓吹对立对抗，已经成为地区和平稳定的“搅局者”。
China has previously made detailed and conclusive clarification with regard to the encounter between Chinese naval vessels and Australian military aircraft. Here, I would like to reiterate that in the whole process of meeting with Australian military aircraft, the Chinese naval ships maintained safe, standardized and professional operation in line with relevant international law and international practice. It is evident in the video taken by the Chinese naval ship that the Australian military aircraft was conducting close-in reconnaissance on Chinese naval vessels. The Australian military aircraft’s conduct was malicious in intention and unprofessional in operation, and posed threats to the safety of ships, aircraft and personnel of both sides. Instead of reflecting on itself, the Australian side repeatedly spread disinformation, made false accusations against China and advocated confrontation constantly, which is actually the "troublemaker" to the regional peace and stability.

一段时间以来，澳军政高官出于一己政治私利，频频发表涉华负面言论，宣扬所谓“中国军事扩张”、鼓噪在南海同中国抗衡、鼓吹结盟对抗中国等。我们注意到，澳不少有识之士也针对这些错误言论提出了批评。我们要求澳方某些军政高官停止渲染炒作“中国威胁”，慎重处理涉台问题，多做有利于增进双方互信的事，不要一条道走到黑。
These days have seen some senior Australian military and political officials making negative remarks on China out of their political self-interests, preaching the so-called 'Chinese military expansion', hyping up confrontation with China in the South China Sea, and barnstorming alliance against China. We have noticed that there are many insightful people in Australia who criticized these erroneous remarks. We urge certain senior Australian military and political officials to stop exaggerating and hyping the 'China threat', instead, deal with Taiwan-related issues carefully, do more to enhance mutual trust between the two sides, and never be impenitently doing wrong things.
