7月15日,有媒体称美军1架运输机降落台湾,我们对此表示严重关切。台湾是中国领土神圣不可分割的一部分。任何外军飞机降落我领土都必须经中华人民共和国政府许可,任何外国舰机擅闯我领空的行为,都将引发严重后果。我们正告美方切勿玩火、立即停止冒险挑衅行径,不要向“台独”分裂势力释放错误信号,避免加剧在台海制造危险紧张局势。我们警告民进党当局不要误判形势、引狼入室,铤而走险,勾连外部势力谋“独”挑衅,只会把台湾带向危险境地。中国必须统一,也必然统一。任何人都不要低估中国人民捍卫国家主权和领土完整的坚强决心、坚定意志、强大能力。中国人民解放军保持高度戒备态势,将采取一切必要措施,坚决粉碎任何“台独”图谋。

BEIJING, July 15 -- "Any foreign military aircraft are forbidden to land on China's territory without the approval of the government of the People's Republic of China (PRC), and any unauthorized entry into China's territorial air space by foreign military vessels and aircraft will lead to serious consequences", said Senior Colonel Wu Qian, a spokesperson for China's Ministry of National Defense, in a written statement released Thursday on the official website of the ministry.

According to media reports, a US military transport aircraft landed in Taiwan on July 15, China expressed serious concerns toward this provocative move by the US side, said Snr. Col. Wu.

"Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, we solemnly urge the US side to stop playing with fire and immediately quit such hazardous provocative actions," Wu said.

The US should stop sending erroneous signals to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and avoid escalation of tensions in the Taiwan Strait, the spokesperson stated.

In addition, Wu warned the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities of not misjudging the current situation and taking risks to invite the wolf into the house, adding that any provocations of seeking "Taiwan independence" through collusion with external powers can only bring Taiwan in danger.

"China must be and will be reunited. No one should underestimate the resolve, will and ability of the Chinese people to defend their national sovereignty and territorial integrity," said Wu. He stated that the Chinese People’s Liberation Army keeps on high alert and will take all necessary measures to utterly smash any attempt toward "Taiwan independence".
