中国使馆谴责德国报纸就台湾问题的报道

A spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in Germany has refuted a report by the Sueddeutsche Zeitung over the Taiwan question, saying it violated the one-China principle and supported the "Taiwan independence" secessionists.

中国驻德国大使馆发言人谴责《南德意志报》关于台湾问题的报道，称该报道违反了一个中国原则，支持“台独”分裂势力。

The spokesperson said China resolutely opposed the report, which deliberately defied the one-China principle pursued by the German federal government and the international community and provided the "Taiwan independence" secessionists with media access.

发言人表示，中国坚决反对这份报道，它有意违背德国联邦政府和国际社会所奉行的一个中国原则，让“台独”分裂势力有接触媒体的渠道。

The influential Sueddeutsche Zeitung on Friday carried a report about an interview with Joseph Wu from Taiwan.

颇具影响力的《南德意志报》上周五发表了一篇报道，报道内容是对台湾记者吴士存的采访。

The spokesperson said the Taiwan question is not about the so-called "democracy". It is concerning the national interest of China. If some people try to gain sympathy by cloaking themselves in the image of "international orphan" and to pursue secessionist policies in disguise of human rights, they are destined to fail.

发言人表示，台湾问题与所谓的“民主”无关，而与中国的国家利益有关。如果一些人试图以“国际孤儿”的形象伪装自己来获得同情，以人权的名义推行分裂主义政策，那他们注定会失败。

The spokesperson said Taiwan is an indispensable part of China and maintaining national unity is the bottom line of all sovereign states including Germany. China’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity must not be challenged.

发言人表示，台湾是中国不可缺少的一部分，维护中国统一是包括德国在内所有主权国家的底线。中国的国家主权和领土完整不容挑战。

The spokesperson said China always supports the national unity of Germany, thereby it hopes Germany to take the same attitude to China. Germany needs to realize that the "Taiwan independence" secessionist activities on its soil would disrupt and harm China-Germany bilateral relations and regional stability.

发言人表示，中方一贯支持德国的民族团结，希望德国对中国采取同样的态度。德国需要认识到，其领土上的“台独”分裂活动将破坏并损害中德双边关系和地区稳定。

China expects that German people can place themselves in China’s position, and better understand Chinese people’s pursuit for national unity, the spokesperson concluded.

中方希望德国人民能够站在中国的立场上，更多地理解中国人民追求的民族团结精神。
