NASA官网悄悄改了

日前，美国国家航空航天局（NASA）在网上发起“火星船票”活动，其官网将“台湾”单列为“国家”，引起网友抵制。

NASA was recently found to have listed Taiwan as a "country" in an application form for the "send your name to Mars" activity on its website, in which applicants are able to put their names onto a chip and send it into space.

据今日俄罗斯（RT）4月1日报道，NASA活动官网已经更新，此前页面上“国家（Country）”的选项改为了“地点（Location）”。

RT称，NASA活动官网页面显然已经悄悄更新，页面现在要求输入“地点（Location）”，而不是“国家（Country）”。此外，NASA尚未发布任何针对这一问题的公开声明。

Hours after the public backlash, NASA’s page has apparently been quietly updated, somewhat watering down the definition of the choice offered to applicants. Instead of “Country,” the page now asks for “Location,” and the dropdown menu suggests picking a “Country/Region/Territory.” NASA is yet to release any public statement addressing the issue.

活动引发网友抵制

此前，“NASA火星船票”活动引爆网络，教程铺天盖地。但有网友发现， NASA活动官网将“台湾”单列为“国家”。

Many Chinese netizens who had wanted to participate in the NASA event were angered by the wrong listing of Taiwan island, saying they have decided to withdraw from the activity.

据中青报报道，当记者查询“国家”一栏时，发现“Taiwan”赫然出现在列表中。

NASA的这一做法在微博上引起网友抵制，其中包括NASA超话主持人在内的博主。

国台办：尽快改正

在3月31日的国台办例行新闻发布会上，发言人朱凤莲对此作出回应。

The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council responded to NASA listing China's Taiwan island as a "country" on its website, urging NASA to correct its mistake immediately.

朱凤莲表示，相信很多网友都在关注这个事情，我们的态度很清楚，台湾是中国领土不可分割的一部分。美国国家航空航天局的有关做法违背一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报规定，违背国际社会普遍共识，也伤害了中国人民的感情。希望NASA作为美联邦政府的机构，尊重中国主权和领土完整，恪守一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报规定，尽快改正相关错误。

"We hold a clear and firm attitude that the island of Taiwan is part of China," spokesperson Zhu Fenglian said at a press briefing on Wednesday.

"It has severely violated the one-China principle and the provisions of the three China-US joint communiqués. It is not only against the international consensus on the one-China principle, but also hurts Chinese people's feelings," Zhu said.

朱凤莲说，我们也相信海内外的中华儿女对这件事都会有正确的认识。
