Peston: Joining me now is the Chinese Ambassador to the UK, Liu Xiaoming. Ambassador, I think of China as this fast modernizing country, enriching country.

Is this China again sending a sort of message to the world that, you know, you are fierce and dangerous?

佩斯顿：我们今天邀请到中国驻英国大使刘晓明先生。大使先生，当我想到中国时，我想到一个国土辽阔、正迈向现代化、逐渐富裕的国家。但我们今天看到的令人震撼的阅兵场面，会使有些人觉得中国又回到了“毛泽东时代。中国是否再次向世界发出这样一个信息，即中国是一个危险且令人生畏的国家?
