在9月29日外交部例行记者会上，有记者提问称，《华尔街日报》报道称，中国谈判代表要求美方正式声明反对“台独”，美国此前的声明一直是不支持“台湾独立”。请问发言人能否确认中国是否要求美国反对“台独”？能否提供更多关于这些谈判的细节？

At the regular press conference of Foreign Ministry on September 29, a reporter asked the spokesperson to confirm whether China has asked the US to oppose “Taiwan independence” and provide more details on the negotiations as the Wall Street Journal reported that Chinese negotiation representatives asked the US to officially declare to oppose “Taiwan independence” while Washington’s previous statement has been not supporting “Taiwan independence.”

对此，发言人郭嘉昆表示，台湾问题是中国核心利益中的核心，是中美关系第一条不可逾越的红线。一个中国原则是国际关系基本准则和国际社会的普遍共识，也是中美关系的政治基础。坚持一个中国原则，就理所应当反对“台独”分裂。

In response, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated that the Taiwan question is the core of China’s core interests and the first red line that must not be crossed in China-US relations. Guo stressed that the one-China principle is a fundamental norm in international relations and a universal consensus of the international community, as well as the political foundation of China-US relations. To uphold the one-China principle means firmly opposing “Taiwan independence” separatist activities, he said.
