6月16日下午，国防部新闻发言人陈曦大校就近期涉军问题发布消息。记者：据报道，日菲单方面宣布启动位中国台湾岛以东“海域划界谈判”，中国海警在相关海域开展执法行动，台湾防务部门称这是“挑衅行为”和“认知作战”。请问对此有何评论？陈曦：台湾是中国的一部分，中国在台湾岛以东海域拥有专属经济区和大陆架，中国海警开展执法巡查行动，正当必要、不容侵扰。两岸同属一个中国，共同捍卫国家主权和海洋权益是两岸同胞义不容辞的责任。民进党当局不仅消极应对，还颠倒黑白、倒行逆施，丧失民族立场，这种数典忘祖的行径令人唾弃。

Summary

Machine summary

MND spokesperson Senior Colonel Chen Xi, in a June 16 statement, defended China Coast Guard law enforcement operations in waters east of Taiwan Island as legitimate and asserted that defending sovereignty and maritime rights is the shared duty of compatriots on both sides of the strait. The statement frames the CCG's presence in those waters as an EEZ and continental shelf claim that Beijing treats as non-negotiable, directly contesting both Japan-Philippines delimitation talks and Taiwan's characterization of CCG activity as provocation. The sharp language directed at the DPP—'forgetting one's ancestors,' 'turning black into white'—extends a pattern of using MND press statements to delegitimize Taipei's government while simultaneously appealing over its head to a cross-strait nationalist framing.
