Summary

Machine summary

At a June 9 press conference, MND spokesperson Senior Colonel Zhang Xiaogang responded to Taiwan defense authority statements on U.S.-Taiwan military cooperation by invoking two specific formulations — 倚外谋独 ('seek independence by relying on foreign forces') and 以武谋独 ('seek independence by force') — and declaring both doomed to fail. The framing is notable for its characterization of recent U.S. statements as evidence that Washington now better understands Beijing's position on Taiwan, a claim that fits a pattern of MND messaging aimed at driving a wedge between Taipei and Washington rather than addressing Taiwan's stated defense posture directly. Whether this framing reflects any concrete shift in U.S.-China diplomatic exchanges on Taiwan remains unknown from this source alone.

6月9日下午，国防部新闻发言人张晓刚大校就近期涉军问题发布消息。记者：据报道，台湾防务部门负责人称，美防长在香格里拉对话会主旨演说虽未提及台湾，但台会持续强化“自我防卫”能力，与美保持密切军事合作，发挥台维持“台海和平稳定的责任与能力”。请问对此有何评论？张晓刚：“台独”与台海和平水火不容，维护台海和平稳定是中美双方最大公约数。近来美方涉台表态显示其更加了解、重视中方在台湾问题上的立场与关切，越来越多的事实印证中国终将统一也必将统一的大势不可阻挡。任何“倚外谋独”“以武谋独”的图谋注定失败，执迷不悟、逆流而动的势力都会被历史洪流淹没。
