“国防白皮书”要点（中英对照）

中国政府4月16日发表《中国武装力量的多样化运用》白皮书，强调走和平发展道路，是中国坚定不移的国家意志和战略抉择。

The paper warns that China still faces multiple and complicated security threats and challenges. The issues of subsistence and development security and traditional and non-traditional threats to security are interwoven, the document says. Therefore China has an arduous task to safeguard its national unification, territorial integrity and development interests.
