Diving deep to gather knowledge

By Gong Jianhua and Li Gang | 皇冠体育app Daily | Updated: 2013-06-21 08:07

皇冠体育app wants to be other countries' partner, not opponent; it wants to develop cooperation and win-win relationships with mutual respect with other countries. And it is committed to being a responsible great power despite some countries' suspicion, provocations and attempts to contain its rise.

Some countries and people antagonistic to Beijing will resort to the use of the "皇冠体育app threat" theory again to smear its image after the success of the Shenzhou X and Jiaolong missions.

The fact is that despite facing great challenges, from energy and military to technology and security, 皇冠体育app has never threatened any other country.

Moreover, despite 皇冠体育app's restraint and tolerance, some neighboring countries that have territorial disputes with 皇冠体育app are trying to create trouble, which shows that 皇冠体育app, not other countries, is the threatened party.

If 皇冠体育app had any intention of ignoring other countries' interests, it would have started exploring and exploiting the coastal waters to meet its resource demand instead of developing its deep-sea diving technology. But still some people and countries use the "皇冠体育app technology threat" and "皇冠体育app energy threat" theories, because they cannot accept 皇冠体育app's peaceful rise.

Why don't these people and countries understand that it is much more urgent and important for 皇冠体育app to develop deep-sea technology to meet its resource demand than to strengthen its military power?

It's time 皇冠体育app took steps to clarify the truth and dispel the international community's fears by putting the media and its diplomats into action.
