军事战略白皮书首发布

China issued its first white paper on military strategy on Tuesday.

26日，中国发布首份阐述军事战略的白皮书，

It reaffirmed China's adherence to peaceful development and its "active defense" military strategy.

重申将坚持走和平发展的道路，并采取积极防御的战略思想。

"China will never seek hegemony or expansion," it said.

白皮书称："中国永远不争霸，不称霸，绝不搞战略扩张。"

For the first time, the paper noted that "some offshore neighbors take provocative actions and reinforce their military presence on China's reefs and islands that they have illegally occupied", and it is thus a long-standing task for China to safeguard its maritime rights and interests.

白皮书首次指出："个别海上邻国采取挑衅性举动，在非法'占据'的中方岛礁上加强军事存在。" 因此，维护中国的海洋权益将是一项长期任务。

The paper said the navy of the People's Liberation Army will "gradually shift its focus from 'offshore waters defense' to a combination of 'offshore waters defense' and 'open seas protection'".

白皮书称，中国海军将逐步实现由近海防御型向近海防御与远海护卫型结合的转变。

The paper also mentioned space, cyber space and other key secuirty areas.

白皮书内容还涉及太空、网络空间等重大安全领域。
