国内英语资讯:Chinas Army Day parade shows resolution to safeguard peace

"China's development and peaceful rise in a complicated international environment call for an army capable of safeguarding peace," said Chen Ronghua, honorary chairman of the U.S. association of Fujian townsmen.

Commenting on China's military development over the past decades, Belarussian Defense Minister Andrei Ravkov has recently said the PLA is today a well-equipped and modernized military force, making a huge contribution to maintaining regional and global security.

Qiao Fengxiang, Professor of Texas Southern University and Founding President of U.S.-China Friendship Association, said that the peaceful rise of China requires peaceful domestic and international environments, which however do not always come naturally to any country.

China seeks a peaceful international environment to develop itself and realize the Chinae Dream, and at the same time safeguards and promotes world peace through its own development, Qiao said.

"To this end, building strong armed forces is essential," Qiao added.

Bo Zhiyue, the founder and president of the Bo Zhiyue China Institute, said that it is critical for every country in the world to build a modernized army.

China, the biggest developing country in the world, needs a powerful people's army to provide assurance for its economic growth and safeguard its state sovereignty, Bo added.

China's grand strategy is peaceful development, and the core of the strategy is economic growth, said Bo, adding that building a world-class armed force is of vital significance to a country's sovereignty, security and development.
