BEIJING, July 25-- China's newly released white paper on national defense provides transparent and comprehensive information about China's national defense policy and its global significance, overseas experts said. Titled "China's National Defense in the New Era", the white paper released Wednesday by the State Council Information Office expounds China's defensive national defense policy in the new era and explains the practice, purposes and significance of China's efforts to build a fortified national defense and a strong military. It also said for the first time that actively contributing to the building of a community with a shared future for mankind is the global significance of China's national defense in the new era. "We must understand that China is not in a hegemonic search that etymologically means the military and political supremacy exercised by a state," Sonia Bressler, a French writer and sinologist, commented on the white paper. "China, as a power, makes the choice of sharing and not of domination. It is therefore appealing to the intelligence of the people," Bressler said, adding "this affirmation is uNPRecedented because it places peace at the heart of the political process." "The 2019 white paper outlines China's national defense policy system. It highlighted China's strategic direction and policy of protecting development and win-win projects," said Nourhan al-Sheikh, professor of political sciences with Cairo University. |
