中国坚定不移走和平发展道路

China Unswervingly Pursues the Road of Peaceful Development

在中国共产党成立90周年和人类进人21世纪第二个十年之际,中国政府发表了《中国的和平发展》白皮书,再度向全中国和全世界郑重宣告,和平发展是中国实现现代化和富民强国的战略抉择,是中国为世界持久和平、共同繁荣做出贡献的必由之路。中国将坚定不移、坚持不懈地沿着和平发展道路走下去。可以说,这份白皮书是中国和平发展的宣言书和行动指南。

China's peaceful development is not water without source,nor tree without root.Rather,it is based on China's long and profound historical and cultural tradition.China's path of peaceful development is not something conjured up by a few individuals in their study.Rather,we have found this path in the course of the more than 60 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China,especially in the course of the great experiment of reform and opening-up.China's declaration of commitment to peaceful development is not an act of expediency to bide its time.Rather,it is a sincere and conscientious long-term strategic choice based on China's basic national conditions.China's declaration of peaceful development is not an attempt to deceive foreigners.Peaceful development is a carefully considered choice based on calm analysis and sound judgment of the current situation in the world.It is in keeping with the development trend of the times.To pursue peaceful development is China's own will.China's declaration of peaceful development is not mere lip service or empty talk. It is a choice supported by firm political policies and strategies.China means what it says.China's exploration and practice of following the path of peaceful development has not come to an end. Rather,it will be a never-ending process of constant exploration and improvement.To follow the path of peaceful development,China needs the understanding and support of the international community.
