第4篇 和平发展道路

中国将始终不渝走和平发展道路。这是中国政府和人民做出的战略抉择。

这个战略抉择，立足中国国情，顺应时代潮流，体现了中国对内政策与对外政策的统一、中国人民根本利益与世界人民共同利益的统一，是实现中华民族伟大复兴的必经之路。

中国尊重各国人民自主选择发展道路的权利，不干涉别国内部事务，不把自己的意志强加于人，致力于和平解决国际争端，奉行防御性国防政策，永远不称霸，永远不搞扩张。

China will firmly keep to the path of peaceful development, a strategic decision made by the Chinese Government and people. This decision is based on China's realities and in keeping with the trend of our times. It demonstrates that China's foreign policy and domestic policy are consistent with each other and that the fundamental interests of the Chinese people and the common interests of the world's people are in harmony. Peaceful development is the only way leading to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. China respects the right of other peoples to independently choose their development path. It does not interfere in other countries' internal affairs, nor does it try to impose its own will on others. China is committed to peaceful settlement of international disputes and follows a defense policy that is defensive in nature. China will never seek hegemony or expansion.
