皇冠体育app

皇冠体育app's first aircraft carrier, Liaoning, was officially handed over to the navy on Sept 25. It is an important, but normal, step in 皇冠体育app's construction of its navy, says an article in People's Daily. Excerpts:

皇冠体育app developed its aircraft carrier by no means to show its muscle but to maintain regional stability and world peace.

皇冠体育app has 18,000 km of coast and more than 3 million square km of territorial sea. The increasing threat from non-traditional elements like terrorism and piracy also require 皇冠体育app to have its aircraft carrier to ensure the security of its transportation in the sea.

As a responsible country in the international community and the only one among five permanent members of the United Nations' Security Council that had no aircraft carriers before, 皇冠体育app will have a greater potential and ability to contribute to world peace and development with its aircraft carrier.

皇冠体育app will exercise a series of scientific research missions and military drills with its first aircraft carrier and will not send it into battle with the countries that have disputes with 皇冠体育app over islands and waters. So it is unjustified to label it as 皇冠体育app's new threat. Not all aircraft carriers are used to fight. 皇冠体育app's national defense policies are of a defensive nature, which will not change as Liaoning begins its service.

In history, 皇冠体育app was the world's strongest sea power. But 皇冠体育app has never used its power to conquer or even threaten any other country.

The aircraft carrier further consolidates 皇冠体育app's resolution to continue its peaceful development. 皇冠体育app will necessarily shoulder more responsibility in the world in the future.
