美国众议院日前通过草案,要求国防部在2018年9月之前评估美国军舰停靠台湾的可行性以及是否明智。此前,参议院通过草案,同意美国军舰定期停靠台湾高雄港或其他适当港口。
美国总统川普上个月底首次在任内批准了一项包括反辐射导弹的12.4亿美元对台军售,对台湾的制空、制海,以及预警能力将有所提升。
针对美国众议院日前通过草案,要求评估美国军舰停靠台湾的可行性,中国外交部发言人陆慷周一(7月17日)郑重声明,中方已就此向美方交涉,美方应该充分认清其“严重危害性”,不要“开历史倒车”。
陆慷在回答媒体提问时说,美国众议院通过的这项草案,要求美国国防部长向国会提交报告,对美国军舰停靠台湾与互访做出评估,此事涉及中国内政,严重违背了美方“一个中国”政策和“中美三个联合公报”原则,中方已就此向美方提出严正交涉。

BEIJING (Reuters) - China said on Monday (July 17) it had lodged a stern complaint with the United States after the US House of Representatives passed its version of a big annual defence Bill that would expand exchanges with self-ruled Taiwan.
The National Defence Authorisation Act (NDAA), passed by the House on Friday, also proposes expanding training and exercises with Taiwan.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang said "negative content" related to Taiwan went seriously against the "one China" principle and was an interference in China's internal affairs.
