國防部：美肆意部署“堤豐”中導系統拱火攪局
The MND: US Willful Deployment of Typhon Mid-range Missile System only Stirs up Troubles
10月31日下午，國防部舉行例行記者會，國防部新聞發言人張曉剛大校答記者問。
記者：據報道，菲參議院外委會主席近日在出席菲媒體論壇時，公開反對美在菲部署“堤豐”中導系統。請問發言人有何評論？
Question: It is reported that the Chairman of the Philippine Senate Foreign Relations Committee openly opposed US deployment of Typhon mid-range missile system in the Philippines during her attendance at a recent media forum. May I have your comment?
張曉剛：中方多次表明堅決反對美在菲部署中導系統的嚴正立場。美國撕毀《中導條約》，研制“堤豐”中導系統，將其當成維霸工具，肆意部署拱火攪局，把相關地區置于戰爭風險之中，一再表明美是不折不扣的和平破壞者、沖突肇事者。
Zhang Xiaogang: China has repeatedly expressed our firm opposition to US deployment of mid-range missile system in the Philippines. The US has withdrawn from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, developed Typhon mid-range missile system, and used it as a tool to maintain its hegemony. It has made willful deployment and stirred up troubles, which increased the risk of war in the region. It has been proven time and again that the US is a real saboteur to peace and a troublemaker.
實際上，菲國內有識之士一直都在反對美部署“堤豐”中導系統，菲政府應認真傾聽民意呼聲，認清這一問題的高度敏感性和嚴重危害性，停止這一損人害己的危險舉動，不要把自己綁上美國戰車，給別人當炮灰。
In fact, many people in the Philippines oppose US deployment of Typhon mid-range missile system. The Philippine government needs to listen to the voices of its people, fully recognize the high sensitivity and grave consequences of this issue, and stop such dangerous behavior which will hurt others as well as herself. It should not tie herself to the US war chariot and end up being cannon fodders.
