【禁聞】中共稱無對臺導彈 美軍售立場不變

【新唐人2011年5月23日訊】中共解放軍總參謀長陳炳德,日前在美國訪問,他與美軍將領舉行了雙方七年來最高級別的會談,而台灣問題仍是雙方分歧焦點。陳炳德在記者會上聲稱,在中國沿海地區沒有導彈部署,所以對臺沒有撤飛彈的問題。但如有必要,中國可能會動用武力。他還表示,美國對臺軍售不僅損害美中關係,而且還將阻礙兩軍順利交流與合作。

陳炳德這次有關台灣的公開表態,引起海內外輿論的關注。

台灣國安局長蔡得勝19號表示,中國大陸沿海部署飛彈,目前不論在量或單位,仍不斷增加中﹔有沒有威脅是感受問題,說大陸對臺沒有威脅,全世界沒有國家認同這樣的論點。

美國克萊蒙頓研究院的軍事專家林長盛認為,雖然在陳炳德講話後,中共國防部官員又做出了導彈部署「不在福建」的解釋,但陳炳德表達對台灣問題的看法時,模糊中國的導彈部署區域,顯然有失公允,和事實的差別很大。

美國西東大學臺海問題專家楊力宇教授:“中國瞄準台灣的導彈並不是擺在福建沿海,經過美國的人造衛星多次探測,到現在為止是1425枚。它其實是部署在三個省,一個是安徽、一個是江西、一個是湖南。”

美國海軍上將馬倫和陳炳德的聯合記者會,是在美國五角大樓舉行。陳炳德在會上還說,美國以《與台灣關係法》這種「國內法」來保證台灣安全,是“干涉中國內政”,“太霸氣”了。 陳炳德說,“不少的”美國議員對他說:「有重新審視《與台灣關係法》的需要」。

台灣駐美副代表張大同19號也針對陳炳德的說法,向媒體表示,經過他們向當時在場的人士查證,美國議員並沒有說過這個話。

台灣駐美副代表張大同:“我們有去問在現場的人,他說,美國議員沒有講這個話,所以我想陳炳德記者會講的其他一些不太確實的話,我們客氣一點就說他‘自說自話’,或他想要國會議員這樣講,其實國會議員對台灣關係法的支持真的是毋庸置疑。”

陳炳德說,美國向台灣出售武器肯定會影響兩國和兩軍關係,而影響程度,是從“向台灣出售武器的程度”決定的。

也是美軍參謀長聯席會議主席的馬倫將軍,在回答記者提問時表示,只要《台灣關係法》仍然有效,美國就要遵守法律,直到國會修改,而就他所知,目前修改這部法律並不是美國國會的優先考慮。

對於陳炳德警告對臺軍售將影響美中兩國關係,張大同說,任何一位中國大陸領導人來美訪問,都會制式的對軍售問題提出所謂的“警告”,但美方也都會重申一貫立場,就是:美國依照《台灣關係法》,有法律義務提供台灣防禦性武器。

林長盛認為,美中軍事關係發展的第一大障礙就是台灣問題。但美方在「軍售」這個問題上,至少在我們可以看到的未來,不可能做任何的讓步。

台灣軍事專家、國民黨立委林郁方也認為,爲了維持兩岸軍力平衡,美國軍售的立場不會改變。

No Missiles Deployed, Says China

Communist Liberation Army Chief Chen Bingde

is in the biggest summit talk of 7 years

with U.S. Army chief Michael Mullen,

yet opinions differ on the Taiwan issue.

Chen Bingde denied any missile deployment

on China Coastal areas, but China might use force

if necessary. He said it wrecked US-China relations

when U.S. sold weapons to Taiwan,

claiming it hindered the mutual military cooperation.

Chen Bingde's remarks drew international attention.

Taiwan Security Chief Cai Desheng said on May 19

that missile deployment to China coasts

was incremental both in quality and quantity.

Threats exist, no country would deny it.

U.S. Claremont Institute Military expert

Lin Changsheng said that China State Defense

department officials denied the facts

that missile deployment was in Fujian,

but Chen Bingde gave ambiguous notions

on locations was clearly contradictory to the facts.

Yang Liyu, Taiwan expert in Seton Hall University:

“China's missiles to Taiwan were not on the coasts,

according to U.S. satellites, but were distributed

in Anwei, Jiangxi and Hunan, with a total of 1425.”

U.S. Admiral Mullen and Chen Bingde

held a joint press conference at the Pentagon.

Chen said that the U.S. was “rudely”

“interfering with China's internal affairs”

according to China's law, like Taiwan Relations Act.

Many U.S. senators told Chen that it is necessary

to review the Taiwan Relations Act.

In response to Chen's remarks, on May 19

Taiwan Vice Representative to U.S., Zhang Datong

stated that investigations with witnesses had shown

that no U.S. senators had ever made such remarks.

Zhang Datong: “During investigations,

witnesses clarified no such remarks had been made.

I suppose Chen Bingde was lying or soliloquizing,

to put it mildly. It's him wanting senators to say so.

They were undoubtedly in support of the Act.”

Chen Bingde claimed that US-Taiwan military trades

would surely affect US-China relations.

The degree of impact depended on the trades.

U.S. Army Chief and Joint Committee director

Michael Mullen, said that the U.S. would comply with

law as long as the Taiwan Relations Act stayed valid,

and would continue until the congress modified it.

As far as Mullen is concerned, this Act

is not the first priority of the U.S. Congress.

In response to Chen Bingde' warning of US-Taiwan

military trades affecting the US-China relations,

Zhang Datong said that any US-China leaders

visiting, this issue will have an uniform stance.

U.S. repeated, based on the Taiwan Relations Act,

they're obliged to provide military defense to Taiwan.

Lin Changsheng suggested that the Taiwan issue

is the first major obstacle

between US-China military exchange.

The U.S. stance, in an expectable future perspective,

would stay in no concession.

Taiwan Military expert and KMT legislator

Lin Yufang agreed that in order to maintain

cross-strait military balance the U.S. will not change

its position on military exchanges with Taiwan.
