1月29日下午，国防部举行例行记者会，国防部新闻局副局长、国防部新闻发言人蒋斌大校答记者问。
记者：据报道，台民意机构会议1月23日表决议事日程草案，民进党党团提案将1.25万亿元新台币的“防务特别条例”草案增列至报告事项中，但提案遭蓝白以55票比48票否决，而这也是“防务特别条例”送台民意机构审查以来，第八度遭封杀。请问发言人对此有何评论？
蒋斌：民进党当局巧立名目、愚弄民众、大搞“黑箱操作”，挥霍台湾老百姓的血汗钱养肥外国军火商，并借机敛财腐败，这种丑恶行径早已不得人心。1.25万亿买不来所谓的“安全”，只会进一步掏空台湾，并加速把台湾推向兵凶战危的险境。“台独”势力谋“独”挑衅越猖獗，越会更快走向灭亡。
