Japan will "be destined to pay a heavy price" if it dares to cross the red line of the Taiwan question, a Chinese defense spokesman said on Thursday.

一位中国国防部发言人周四表示，日本若胆敢跨越台湾问题的红线，“注定将付出沉重代价”。

Jiang Bin, a spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense, made the remarks at a regular news conference in Beijing in response to Japan's claim that a plan to station medium-range surface-to-air missiles on Yonaguni Island, about 110 kilometers east of Taiwan, was making steady progress.
国防部发言人姜斌在北京举行的例行记者会上作出上述表态，这是针对日本声称其在与台湾相距约110公里的与那国岛部署中程地对空导弹的计划“稳步推进”所作出的回应。

In addition, Japanese Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi said on Sunday that the deployment will "lower the chance of an armed attack", while claiming it would not heighten regional tensions, Bloomberg reported.
此外，据彭博社报道，日本防卫大臣小泉进次郎周日声称，这一部署将“降低武装攻击的可能性”，并称不会加剧地区紧张局势。

At the briefing, Jiang stressed that the Taiwan question is purely China's internal affair.
在记者会上，姜斌强调，台湾问题纯属中国内政。

"How to solve the Taiwan question is a matter for the Chinese, and has nothing to do with Japan," he said.
他说：“台湾问题怎么解决是中国人的事，与日本毫无关系。”

This year marks the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's restoration to China, Jiang added.
姜斌补充说，今年是台湾光复祖国80周年。

"Instead of repenting its war crimes of invading and colonizing Taiwan, Japan is taking an extremely wrong approach by suggesting military intervention in a so-called Taiwan contingency," he said.
他说：“日本非但不反思其侵略并殖民台湾的战争罪行，反而鼓吹在所谓‘台海有事’时进行军事介入，这是极其错误的行径。”

This dangerous approach will uproot the post-World War II international order and lead Japan to repeat the mistakes of its militarist past, he emphasized.
他强调，这种危险行为将撼动二战后国际秩序，使日本重蹈军国主义覆辙。

"The People's Liberation Army has strong capabilities and reliable means to defeat any aggressors," Jiang said, warning that should Japan dare to cross the red line and invite trouble upon itself, it is destined to pay a heavy price.
姜斌表示，中国人民解放军有强大的能力和可靠的手段击败任何来犯之敌。他警告说，日本若胆敢越线挑衅，自招祸端，必将付出沉重代价。

Jiang also criticized Japan's recent actions in the military and security fields, urging the country to fully repent its war crimes and immediately abandon at
