近期，美国国会议员不顾中方强烈反对，蓄意挑衅，窜访台湾。美方这一行径严重违反一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报规定，严重损害中美关系的政治基础，导致台海局势进一步紧张升级。美一方面作出不支持“台独”的承诺，一方面向“台独”分裂势力发出严重错误信号，这是极其虚伪的，毫无信义。中方对此坚决反对，并向美方提出严正交涉。
BEIJING, April 15 -- Senior Colonel Wu Qian, a spokesperson for China's Ministry of National Defense made comments on the visit by some members of the US Congress to Taiwan on Friday.
Recently, members of the US Congress paid a visit to Taiwan despite China's strong opposition. This deliberate provocative action made by the US side seriously violates the one-China principle and the stipulations of the three China-US joint communiqués, severely undermines the political foundation of China-US relations, and escalates the tension across the Taiwan Strait, Wu said.
Wu pointed out that it is extremely hypocritical and untrustworthy for the US to pledge not to support "Taiwan independence" on the one hand and send a serious wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" secessionist forces on the other. China firmly opposes to this and lodges solemn representations with the US side.
台湾是中国领土神圣不可分割的一部分。台湾问题不容任何外来干涉。中国人民解放军东部战区近日在台岛周边海空域组织多军兵种联合战备警巡，并开展多科目针对性演练。这是根据当前台海安全形势和维护国家主权需要采取的必要行动。中国人民解放军厉兵秣马，将采取一切必要措施坚决挫败外部势力干涉和“台独”分裂图谋，坚决捍卫国家主权和领土完整。
Wu stressed that Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory and the Taiwan question brooks no external interference. The Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has been conducting combined war-preparedness patrol and carrying out targeted training exercises in the waters and airspace around the Taiwan Island. This is a necessary action taken in light of the current security situation in the Taiwan Strait and the need to safeguard China's national sovereignty. The Chinese PLA has been in full combat readiness and will take all measures necessary to resolutely defeat the interference of external forces and thwart the secessionist attempts for "Taiwan independence", and safeguard China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
