Preface

In today's world, peace and development are facing new opportunities and challenges. It is a historic mission entrusted by the era to people of all nations to firmly grasp the opportunities, jointly meet the challenges, cooperatively maintain security and collectively achieve development.

It is China's unshakable national commitment and strategic choice to take the road of peaceful development. China unswervingly pursues an independent foreign policy of peace and a national defense policy that is defensive in nature. China opposes any form of hegemonism or power politics, and does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. China will never seek hegemony or behave in a hegemonic manner, nor will it engage in military expansion. China advocates a new security concept featuring mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality and coordination, and pursues comprehensive security, common security and cooperative security.

It is a strategic task of China's modernization drive as well as a strong guarantee for China's peaceful development to build a strong national defense and powerful armed forces which are commensurate with China's international standing and meet the needs of its security and development interests. China's armed forces act to meet the new requirements of China's national development and security strategies, follow the theoretical guidance of the Scientific Outlook on Development, speed up the transformation of the generating mode of combat effectiveness, build a system of modern military forces with Chinese characteristics, enhance military strategic guidance and diversify the ways of employing armed forces as the times require. China's armed forces provide security guarantee and strategic support for national development, and make due contributions to the maintenance of world peace and regional stability.

一、新形勢、新挑戰(zhàn)、新使命

I. New Situation, New Challenges and New Missions

新世紀(jì)以來，世界發(fā)生深刻復(fù)雜變化，和平與發(fā)展仍然是時(shí)代主題。經(jīng)濟(jì)全球化、世界多極化深入發(fā)展，文化多樣化、社會信息化持續(xù)推進(jìn)，國際力量對比朝著有利于維護(hù)世界和平方向發(fā)展，國際形勢保持總體和平穩(wěn)定的基本態(tài)勢。與此同時(shí)，世界仍然很不安寧，霸權(quán)主義、強(qiáng)權(quán)政治和新干涉主義有所上升，局部動蕩頻繁發(fā)生，熱點(diǎn)問題此起彼伏，傳統(tǒng)與非傳統(tǒng)安全挑戰(zhàn)交織互動，國際軍事領(lǐng)域競爭更趨激烈，國際安全問題的突發(fā)性、關(guān)聯(lián)性、綜合性明顯上升。亞太地區(qū)日益成為世界經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展和大國戰(zhàn)略博弈的重要舞臺，美國調(diào)整亞太安全戰(zhàn)略，地區(qū)格局深刻調(diào)整。

Since the beginning of the new century, profound and complex changes have taken place in the world, but peace and development remain the underlying trends of our times. The global trends toward economic globalization and multi-polarity are intensifying, cultural diversity is increasing, and an information society is fast emerging. The balance of international forces is shifting in favor of maintaining world peace, and on the whole the international situation remains peaceful and stable. Meanwhile, however, the world is still far from being tranquil. There are signs of increasing hegemonism, power politics and neo-interventionism. Local turmoils occur frequently. Hot-spot issues keep cropping up. Traditional and non-traditional security challenges interweave and interact. Competition is intensifying in the international military field. International security issues are growing noticeably more abrupt, interrelated and comprehensive. The Asia-Pacific region has become an increasingly significant stage for world economic development and strategic interaction between major powers. The US is adjusting its Asia-Pacific security strategy, and the regional landscape is undergoing profound changes.

中國緊緊抓住和用好發(fā)展的重要戰(zhàn)略機(jī)遇期，現(xiàn)代化建設(shè)成就舉世矚目，綜合國力大幅躍升，人民生活顯著改善，社會大局保持穩(wěn)定，兩岸關(guān)系繼續(xù)呈現(xiàn)和平發(fā)展勢頭，國際競爭力和影響力不斷提高。但是，中國仍面臨多元復(fù)雜的安全威脅和挑戰(zhàn)，生存安全問題和發(fā)展安全問題、傳統(tǒng)安全威脅和非傳統(tǒng)安全威脅相互交織，維護(hù)國家統(tǒng)一、維護(hù)領(lǐng)土完整、維護(hù)發(fā)展利益的任務(wù)艱巨繁重。有的國家深化亞太軍事同盟，擴(kuò)大軍事存在，頻繁制造地區(qū)緊張局勢。個(gè)別鄰國在涉及中國領(lǐng)土主權(quán)和海洋權(quán)益上采取使問題復(fù)雜化、擴(kuò)大化的舉動，日本在釣魚島問題上制造事端�？植乐髁x、分裂主義、極端主義“三股勢力”威脅上升�！芭_獨(dú)”分裂勢力及其分裂活動仍然是兩岸關(guān)系和平發(fā)展的最大威脅。重大自然災(zāi)害、安全事故和公共衛(wèi)生事件頻發(fā)，影響社會和諧穩(wěn)定的因素增加，國家海外利益安全風(fēng)險(xiǎn)上升。機(jī)械化戰(zhàn)爭形態(tài)向信息化戰(zhàn)爭形態(tài)加速演變，主要國家大力發(fā)展軍事高新技術(shù)，搶占太空、網(wǎng)絡(luò)空間等國際競爭戰(zhàn)略制高點(diǎn)。

China has seized and made the most of this important period of strategic opportunities for its development, and its modernization achievements have captured world attention. China's overall national strength has grown dramatically and the Chinese people's lives have been remarkably improved. China enjoys general social stability and cross-Straits relations are sustaining a momentum of peaceful development. China's international competitiveness and influence are steadily increasing. However, China still faces multiple and complicated security threats and challenges. The issues of subsistence and development security and the traditional and non-traditional threats to security are interwoven. Therefore, China has an arduous task to safeguard its national unification, territorial integrity and development interests.

Some country has strengthened its Asia-Pacific military alliances, expanded its military presence in the region, and frequently makes the situation there tenser. On the issues concerning China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, some neighboring countries are taking actions that complicate or exacerbate the situation, and Japan is making trouble over the issue of the Diaoyu Islands. The threats posed by "three forces," namely, terrorism, separatism and extremism, are on the rise. The "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and their activities are still the biggest threat to the peaceful development of cross-Straits relations. Serious natural disasters, security accidents and public health incidents keep occurring. Factors affecting social harmony and stability are growing in number, and the security risks to China's overseas interests are on the increase. Changes in the form of war from mechanization to informationization are accelerating. Major powers are vigorously developing new and more sophisticated military technologies so as to ensure that they can maintain strategic superiorities in international competition in such areas as outer space and cyber space.

面對復(fù)雜多變的安全環(huán)境，人民解放軍堅(jiān)決履行新世紀(jì)新階段歷史使命，拓展國家安全戰(zhàn)略和軍事戰(zhàn)略視野，立足打贏信息化條件下局部戰(zhàn)爭，積極運(yùn)籌和平時(shí)期武裝力量運(yùn)用，有效應(yīng)對多種安全威脅，完成多樣化軍事任務(wù)。

Facing a complex and volatile security situation, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) resolutely carries out its historical missions for the new stage in the new century. China's armed forces broaden their visions of national security strategy and military strategy, aim at winning local wars under the conditions of informationization, make active planning for the use of armed forces in peacetime, deal effectively with various security threats and accomplish diversified military tasks.

中國武裝力量的多樣化運(yùn)用，堅(jiān)持以下基本政策和原則：

The diversified employment of China's armed forces adheres to fundamental policies and principles as follows:

——維護(hù)國家主權(quán)、安全、領(lǐng)土完整，保障國家和平發(fā)展。這是中國加強(qiáng)國防建設(shè)的目的，也是憲法和法律賦予中國武裝力量的神圣職責(zé)。堅(jiān)定不移實(shí)行積極防御軍事戰(zhàn)略，防備和抵抗侵略，遏制分裂勢力，保衛(wèi)邊防、海防、空防安全，維護(hù)國家海洋權(quán)益和在太空、網(wǎng)絡(luò)空間的安全利益。堅(jiān)持“人不犯我，我不犯人，人若犯我，我必犯人”，堅(jiān)決采取一切必要措施維護(hù)國家主權(quán)和領(lǐng)土完整。

Safeguarding national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, and supporting the country's peaceful development. This is the goal of China's efforts in strengthening its national defense and the sacred mission of its armed forces, as stipulated in the Constitution of the People's Republic of China and other relevant laws. China's armed forces unswervingly implement the military strategy of active defense, guard against and resist aggression, contain separatist forces, safeguard border, coastal and territorial air security, and protect national maritime rights and interests and national security interests in outer space and cyberspace. "We will not attack unless we are attacked; but we will surely counterattack if attacked." Following this principle, China will resolutely take all necessary measures to safeguard its national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

——立足打贏信息化條件下局部戰(zhàn)爭，拓展和深化軍事斗爭準(zhǔn)備。堅(jiān)定不移把軍事斗爭準(zhǔn)備基點(diǎn)放在打贏信息化條件下局部戰(zhàn)爭上，統(tǒng)籌推進(jìn)各戰(zhàn)略方向軍事斗爭準(zhǔn)備，加強(qiáng)軍兵種力量聯(lián)合運(yùn)用，提高基于信息系統(tǒng)的體系作戰(zhàn)能力。創(chuàng)新發(fā)展人民戰(zhàn)爭戰(zhàn)略戰(zhàn)術(shù)，推進(jìn)軍民融合式發(fā)展，提高國防動員和后備力量建設(shè)質(zhì)量。全面提高日常戰(zhàn)備水平，加強(qiáng)針對性戰(zhàn)備演習(xí)演練，周密組織邊�？辗缿�(zhàn)備巡邏和執(zhí)勤，妥善應(yīng)對各種危機(jī)和重大突發(fā)事件。

Aiming to win local wars under the conditions of informationization and expanding and intensifying military preparedness. China's armed forces firmly base their military preparedness on winning local wars under the conditions of informationization, make overall and coordinated plans to promote military preparedness in all strategic directions, intensify the joint employment of different services and arms, and enhance warfighting capabilities based on information systems. They constantly bring forward new ideas for the strategies and tactics of people's war, advance integrated civilian-military development, and enhance the quality of national defense mobilization and reserve force building. They raise in an all-round way the level of routine combat readiness, intensify scenario-oriented exercises and drills, conduct well-organized border, coastal and territorial air patrols and duties for combat readiness, and handle appropriately various crises and major emergencies.

——樹立綜合安全觀念，有效遂行非戰(zhàn)爭軍事行動任務(wù)。適應(yīng)安全威脅新變化，重視和平時(shí)期武裝力量運(yùn)用。積極參加和支援國家經(jīng)濟(jì)社會建設(shè)，堅(jiān)決完成搶險(xiǎn)救災(zāi)等急難險(xiǎn)重任務(wù)。依照法律規(guī)定履行維護(hù)國家安全和穩(wěn)定職能，堅(jiān)決打擊敵對勢力顛覆破壞活動，打擊各種暴力恐怖活動，遂行安保警戒任務(wù)。加強(qiáng)應(yīng)急救援、海上護(hù)航、撤離海外公民等海外行動能力建設(shè)，為維護(hù)國家海外利益提供可靠的安全保障。

Formulating the concept of comprehensive security and effectively conducting military operations other than war (MOOTW). China's armed forces adapt themselves to the new changes of security threats, and emphasize the employment of armed forces in peacetime. They actively participate in and assist China's economic and social development, and resolutely accomplish urgent, difficult, hazardous, and arduous tasks involving emergency rescue and disaster relief. As stipulated by law, they perform their duties of maintaining national security and stability, steadfastly subduing subversive and sabotage attempts by hostile forces, cracking down on violent and terrorist activities, and accomplishing security-provision and guarding tasks. In addition, they strengthen overseas operational capabilities such as emergency response and rescue, merchant vessel protection at sea and evacuation of Chinese nationals, and provide reliable security support for China's interests overseas.

——深化安全合作，履行國際義務(wù)。中國武裝力量是國際安全合作的倡導(dǎo)者、推動者和參與者。堅(jiān)持和平共處五項(xiàng)原則，全方位開展對外軍事交往，發(fā)展不結(jié)盟、不對抗、不針對第三方的軍事合作關(guān)系，推動建立公平有效的集體安全機(jī)制和軍事互信機(jī)制。堅(jiān)持開放、務(wù)實(shí)、合作的理念，深化同各國軍隊(duì)的交流與合作，加強(qiáng)邊境地區(qū)建立信任措施合作，推進(jìn)海上安全對話與合作，參加聯(lián)合國維和行動、國際反恐合作、國際護(hù)航和救災(zāi)行動，舉行中外聯(lián)演聯(lián)訓(xùn)。認(rèn)真履行應(yīng)盡的國際責(zé)任和義務(wù)，為維護(hù)世界和平、安全、穩(wěn)定發(fā)揮積極作用。

Deepening security cooperation and fulfilling international obligations. China's armed forces are the initiator and facilitator of and participant in international security cooperation. They uphold the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, conduct all-round military exchanges with other countries, and develop cooperative military relations that are non-aligned, non-confrontational and not directed against any third party. They promote the establishment of just and effective collective security mechanisms and military confidence-building mechanisms. Bearing in mind the concept of openness, pragmatism and cooperation, China's armed forces increase their interactions and cooperation with other armed forces, and intensify cooperation on confidence-building measures (CBMs) in border areas. China's armed forces work to promote dialogue and cooperation on maritime security; participate in UN peacekeeping missions, international counter-terrorism cooperation, international merchant shipping protection and disaster relief operations; conduct joint exercises and training with foreign counterparts; conscientiously assume their due international responsibilities; and play an active role in maintaining world peace, security and stability.

——嚴(yán)格依法行動，嚴(yán)守政策紀(jì)律。中國武裝力量遵守憲法和法律，遵守《聯(lián)合國憲章》的宗旨和原則，堅(jiān)持依法用兵、依法行動。嚴(yán)格執(zhí)行法律法規(guī)和政策規(guī)定，嚴(yán)守群眾紀(jì)律，依法完成搶險(xiǎn)救災(zāi)、維穩(wěn)處突和安保警戒等任務(wù)。以《聯(lián)合國憲章》和公認(rèn)的國際關(guān)系準(zhǔn)則為依據(jù)，堅(jiān)持在雙邊多邊條約的法律構(gòu)架內(nèi)行動，確保涉外軍事行動的合法性。制定和完善法律法規(guī)和政策制度，嚴(yán)格按照條令條例管理部隊(duì)，為武裝力量多樣化運(yùn)用提供法律保障。

Acting in accordance with laws, policies and disciplines. China's armed forces observe the country's Constitution and other relevant laws, comply with the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and maintain their commitment to employing troops and taking actions according to law. They strictly abide by laws, regulations and policies, as well as discipline regarding civil-military relations. According to law, they accomplish such tasks as emergency rescue, disaster relief, stability maintenance, contingency response and security provision. On the basis of the UN Charter and other universally recognized norms of international relations, they consistently operate within the legal framework formed by bilateral or multi-lateral treaties and agreements, so as to ensure the legitimacy of their operations involving foreign countries or militaries. The diversified employment of China's armed forces is legally guaranteed by formulating and revising relevant laws, regulations and policies, and the armed forces are administered strictly by rules and regulations.

二、武裝力量建設(shè)與發(fā)展

The PLA has intensified the strategic administration of the Central Military Commission (CMC). It established the PLA Department of Strategic Planning, reorganized the GSH (Headquarters of the General Staff) Communications Department as the GSH Informationization Department, and the GSH Training and Arms Department as the GSH Training Department. The PLA is engaged in the building of new types of combat forces. It optimizes the size and structure of the various services and arms, reforms the organization of the troops so as to make operational forces lean, joint, multi-functional and efficient. The PLA works to improve the training mechanism for military personnel of a new type, adjust policies and rules regarding military human resources and logistics, and strengthen the development of new- and high-technology weaponry and equipment to build a modern military force structure with Chinese characteristics.

The PLA Air Force (PLAAF) is China's mainstay for air operations, responsible for its territorial air security and maintaining a stable air defense posture nationwide. It is primarily composed of aviation, ground air defense, radar, airborne and electronic countermeasures (ECM) arms. In line with the strategic requirements of conducting both offensive and defensive operations, the PLAAF is strengthening the development of a combat force structure that focuses on reconnaissance and early warning, air strike, air and missile defense, and strategic projection.

人民解放軍堅(jiān)持把開展實(shí)戰(zhàn)化演習(xí)演練作為推進(jìn)軍事訓(xùn)練轉(zhuǎn)變、提高部隊(duì)實(shí)戰(zhàn)能力的重要抓手，注重將信息主導(dǎo)、體系對抗、精確作戰(zhàn)、融合集成、聯(lián)合制勝等信息化條件下作戰(zhàn)理念廣泛融入訓(xùn)練實(shí)踐，按實(shí)戰(zhàn)要求、戰(zhàn)時(shí)編組和作戰(zhàn)流程組織演練，突出指揮對抗訓(xùn)練、實(shí)兵自主對抗訓(xùn)練和復(fù)雜戰(zhàn)場環(huán)境下訓(xùn)練，全面提高部隊(duì)基于信息系統(tǒng)的體系作戰(zhàn)能力。

The PLA takes scenario-based exercises and drills as the basic means to accelerate the transition in military training and raise combat capabilities. It widely practices in training such operational concepts in conditions of informationization as information dominance, confrontation between different systems, precision strike, fusion, integration and jointness. It organizes training based on real combat needs, formations and procedures. It pays special attention to confrontational command training, live independent force-on-force training and training in complex battlefield environments. Thus, the warfighting capabilities based on information systems have been thoroughly improved.

Carrying out trans-MAC training. To develop rapid-response and joint-operation capabilities in unfamiliar environments and complex conditions, the divisions and brigades of the same specialty with similar tasks and tailored operational environments are organized to carry out a series of trans-MAC live verification-oriented exercises and drills in the combined tactical training bases. In 2009, the Shenyang, Lanzhou, Jinan and Guangzhou MACs each sent one division to join long-distance maneuvers and confrontational drills. Since 2010, a series of campaign-level exercises and drills code-named "Mission Action" for trans-MAC maneuvers have been carried out. Specifically, in 2010 the Beijing, Lanzhou and Chengdu MACs each sent one division (brigade) led by corps headquarters, together with some PLAAF units, to participate in the exercise. In 2011, relevant troops from the Chengdu and Jinan MACs were organized and carried out the exercise in plateau areas. In 2012, the Chengdu, Jinan and Lanzhou MACs and relevant PLAAF troops were organized and carried out the exercise in southwestern China.

Highlighting force-on-force training. The various services and arms are intensifying confrontational and verification-oriented exercises and drills. Based on different scenarios, they organize live force-on-force exercises, online confrontational exercises and computer-simulation confrontational exercises. The PLAAF creates complex battlefield environments based on its training bases, organizes confrontational exercises on "Red-Blue" war systems under informationized conditions, either between MAC air forces or between a combined "Blue Team" and MAC air force ("Red Team"). The Second Artillery Forces carry out confrontational training of reconnaissance vs. counter-reconnaissance, jamming vs. counter-jamming, and precision strikes vs. protection and counterattack, in complex battlefield environments.

參加搶險(xiǎn)救災(zāi)

Participating in Emergency Rescue and Disaster Relief

中國是世界上自然災(zāi)害最為嚴(yán)重的國家之一，災(zāi)害種類多，分布地域廣，發(fā)生頻率高，給國家經(jīng)濟(jì)建設(shè)和人民群眾生命財(cái)產(chǎn)安全帶來嚴(yán)重危害。中國武裝力量始終是搶險(xiǎn)救災(zāi)的突擊力量，承擔(dān)最緊急、最艱難、最危險(xiǎn)的救援任務(wù)。依據(jù)2005年頒布的《軍隊(duì)參加搶險(xiǎn)救災(zāi)條例》，軍隊(duì)和武警部隊(duì)主要擔(dān)負(fù)解救、轉(zhuǎn)移或者疏散受困人員，保護(hù)重要目標(biāo)安全，搶救、運(yùn)送重要物資，參加道路（橋梁、隧道）搶修、海上搜救、核生化救援、疫情控制、醫(yī)療救護(hù)等專業(yè)搶險(xiǎn)，排除或者控制其他危重險(xiǎn)情、災(zāi)情，協(xié)助地方人民政府開展災(zāi)后重建工作等任務(wù)。

China is one of the countries most vulnerable to natural disasters. With more varieties, wide distribution and high frequency, natural disasters endanger China's economic and social development as well as the lives and property of many Chinese people.

The armed forces of China have always acted as the shock force in emergency rescue and disaster relief, and always undertaken the most urgent, arduous and hazardous rescue tasks.

According to the Regulations on the PLA's Participation in Disaster Rescue promulgated in 2005, the PLA and PAPF are mainly tasked with rescuing and evacuating the trapped; ensuring the security of important facilities and areas; salvaging and transporting important materials; participating in specialized operations such as rush repairs of roads, bridges and tunnels, maritime search and rescue, NBC rescue, epidemic control, and medical aid; eliminating or controlling other major dangers and disasters; and assisting local governments in post-disaster reconstruction.

軍隊(duì)和武警部隊(duì)與各級人民政府建立完善應(yīng)對自然災(zāi)害軍地協(xié)調(diào)聯(lián)動機(jī)制，建成戰(zhàn)略級移動應(yīng)急指揮平臺，在重點(diǎn)地區(qū)預(yù)儲預(yù)置搶險(xiǎn)救災(zāi)急需物資器材，編制修訂團(tuán)以上部隊(duì)搶險(xiǎn)救災(zāi)應(yīng)急預(yù)案，組織軍地?fù)岆U(xiǎn)救災(zāi)聯(lián)訓(xùn)聯(lián)演，全面提高搶險(xiǎn)救災(zāi)能力。目前，已組建抗洪搶險(xiǎn)應(yīng)急部隊(duì)、地震災(zāi)害緊急救援隊(duì)、核生化應(yīng)急救援隊(duì)、空中緊急運(yùn)輸服務(wù)隊(duì)、交通電力應(yīng)急搶險(xiǎn)隊(duì)、海上應(yīng)急搜救隊(duì)、應(yīng)急機(jī)動通信保障隊(duì)、醫(yī)療防疫救援隊(duì)、氣象保障應(yīng)急專業(yè)隊(duì)等9類5萬人的國家級應(yīng)急專業(yè)力量。各軍區(qū)會同有關(guān)�。ㄗ灾螀^(qū)、直轄市），依托現(xiàn)役和預(yù)備役部隊(duì)組建4．5萬人的省級應(yīng)急專業(yè)力量。

The PLA, PAPF and people's governments at various levels have established military-civilian joint response mechanisms for natural disasters, set up a mobile command platform for emergency response at the strategic level, pre-stored and pre-positioned in key areas materials and equipment urgently needed for emergency rescue and disaster relief, worked out relevant scenarios for units at and above the regiment level, and organized joint military-civilian exercises and training, thereby enhancing their capabilities for emergency rescue and disaster relief in all respects.

So far, China has formed nine state-level professional teams, with a total membership of 50,000.

They are emergency-response teams for flood relief, earthquake rescue, NBC defense, emergency airlift, rush repair of transportation and power facilities, maritime search and rescue, mobile communications support, medical aid and epidemic prevention, and meteorological support. In collaboration with relevant provinces (autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government) and based on active and reserve forces, all MACs have joined to set up professional emergency-rescue units at the provincial level, totaling 45,000 members.

中國武裝力量在歷次重大搶險(xiǎn)救災(zāi)中，都發(fā)揮了生力軍和突擊隊(duì)作用。2008年，出動126萬名官兵和民兵預(yù)備役人員抗擊南方嚴(yán)重低溫雨雪冰凍災(zāi)害，22．1萬人參加四川汶川特大地震抗震救災(zāi)。2010年，投入2．1萬人參加青海玉樹強(qiáng)烈地震抗震救災(zāi)，1．2萬人參加甘肅舟曲特大山洪泥石流災(zāi)害搶險(xiǎn)救援。2011年以來，軍隊(duì)和武警部隊(duì)共出動兵力37萬人，各型車輛（機(jī)械）19．7萬臺次、飛機(jī)和直升機(jī)225架次，組織民兵預(yù)備役人員87萬人，參加抗洪、抗震、抗旱、防凌、防臺風(fēng)和滅火等搶險(xiǎn)救災(zāi)行動，搶救轉(zhuǎn)移群眾245萬人，搶運(yùn)物資16萬噸。陸軍航空兵直升機(jī)每年出動數(shù)百架次擔(dān)負(fù)森林和草原防火、救火任務(wù)，并實(shí)現(xiàn)常態(tài)化。

In all major emergency-rescue and disaster-relief operations, China's armed forces have always played a vital role.

In 2008, some 1.26 million officers and men as well as militia members were sent to counter the disaster of freezing weather, sleet and snowstorms in southern China, and 221,000 to participate in rescue after the devastating earthquake in Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province. In 2010, some 21,000 and 12,000 armed forces members were dispatched respectively to take part in rescue after the Yushu (Qinghai Province) earthquake and the Zhouqu (Gansu Province) mud-rock slide.

Since 2011, the PLA and PAPF have contributed a total of 370,000 servicepersons and 197,000 vehicles or other machines of various types, flown over 225 sorties (using fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters), organized 870,000 militiamen and reservists, participated in emergency-rescue and disaster-relief operations in cases of floods, earthquakes, droughts, ice jams, typhoons and fires, rescued or evacuated more than 2.45 million people, and rushed 160,000 tons of goods to disaster areas.

Every year, the army aviation flies hundreds of sorties to prevent and fight forest and grassland fires on a regular basis.

維護(hù)社會穩(wěn)定

中國武裝力量依照法律法規(guī)參加維護(hù)社會秩序行動，防范和打擊恐怖活動。武警部隊(duì)是國家處置公共突發(fā)事件、維護(hù)社會穩(wěn)定的骨干和突擊力量。2009年8月頒布實(shí)施的《中華人民共和國人民武裝警察法》，明確了武警部隊(duì)執(zhí)行安全保衛(wèi)任務(wù)的范圍、措施和保障辦法。武警部隊(duì)構(gòu)建以機(jī)動兵力為主體、以執(zhí)勤部隊(duì)抽組兵力為補(bǔ)充、以警種部隊(duì)和院校兵力為支援的處突維穩(wěn)力量體系，完善以國家級反恐隊(duì)、省級特勤中隊(duì)、市級特勤排、縣級應(yīng)急班為主體的四級反恐力量體系。扎實(shí)做好重大活動安保工作，嚴(yán)格執(zhí)行現(xiàn)場警衛(wèi)、人員安檢、重要目標(biāo)守衛(wèi)、要道設(shè)卡和城市武裝巡邏等任務(wù)。2011─2012年，有效應(yīng)對和處置各類突發(fā)事件，配合公安機(jī)關(guān)成功處置多起暴力恐怖襲擊事件，參與處置劫持人質(zhì)等嚴(yán)重暴力事件68起，解救人質(zhì)62人。先后完成第26屆世界大學(xué)生夏季運(yùn)動會、中國—亞歐博覽會、上海合作組織北京峰會等重大活動安保任務(wù)，累計(jì)用兵160多萬人次。

In accordance with relevant laws and regulations, the armed forces of China participate in social order maintenance, and guard and fight against terrorist activities.

The PAPF is the state's backbone and shock force in handling public emergencies and maintaining social stability.

The Law of the People's Republic of China on the People's Armed Police Force, promulgated in August 2009, specifies the scope, measures and support of PAPF security missions.

With mobile PAPF troops as the mainstay, supplemented by forces pooled from routine duty units, and supported by various police forces and PAPF academies, the PAPF has established a force structure for stability maintenance and emergency response.

In addition, a counter-terrorism force structure has been set up, which consists of a counter-terrorism contingent, special-duty squadrons, special-duty platoons and emergency-response squads at state, province, municipality and county levels, respectively. Solid steps have been taken to implement strict security measures for major events, including guard duties, security checks, security of important facilities and areas, checkpoints on major roads, and armed urban patrols. From 2011 to 2012, the PAPF effectively responded to and handled various emergencies, coordinated with public security organs to successfully handle some violent and terrorist attacks, and participated in handling 68 incidents of serious violence, and rescuing 62 hostages.

Altogether contributing more than 1.6 million persons, the PAPF has provided security for such important events as the 26th Summer Universiade (Shenzhen, 2011), China-Eurasia Expo (Urumqi, 2011) and Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Beijing Summit (2012).

人民解放軍派出相關(guān)力量協(xié)助公安、武警部隊(duì)完成重大活動安保任務(wù)。陸軍主要承擔(dān)防范恐怖活動、核化生爆檢測、醫(yī)療救援等任務(wù)，海軍主要承擔(dān)排除水域安全隱患、防范來自海上恐怖襲擊等任務(wù)，空軍主要承擔(dān)保衛(wèi)重大活動舉辦地和周邊地區(qū)空中安全等任務(wù)。近年來，人民解放軍先后參加北京奧運(yùn)會、國慶60周年慶典、上海世博會、廣州亞運(yùn)會等重大活動的安保行動，共出動兵力14．5萬人，動用飛機(jī)和直升機(jī)365架、艦船148艘、雷達(dá)554部。

The PLA also assists public security and PAPF forces in providing security for major events. The PLAA is mainly tasked with counter-terrorism, NBC and explosive item checks, and medical aid.

The PLAN is mainly responsible for guarding against potential maritime threats and terrorist attacks. The PLAAF is mainly charged with providing air security for major event venues and their adjacent areas. In recent years, contributing 145,000 servicepersons, 365 fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, 148 ships and 554 sets of radar equipment, the PLA provided security for the Beijing Olympics, celebrations of the PRC's 60th founding anniversary, Shanghai World Expo and Guangzhou Asian Games.

民兵是維護(hù)社會穩(wěn)定的一支重要力量，按照法律規(guī)定協(xié)助維護(hù)社會秩序，在地方黨委、政府的統(tǒng)一部署和軍事機(jī)關(guān)的指揮下，參加治安聯(lián)防、社會管理綜合治理、重大活動安保等行動。每年有9萬多人執(zhí)行守護(hù)橋梁、隧道和鐵路線等任務(wù)。

The militia is an important force for maintaining social stability. It assists in the maintenance of social order in accordance with laws and regulations.

Under the unified arrangements of local CPC committees and governments as well as the guidance of corresponding military organs, the militia participates in joint defense of public security, integrated social management, and security provision for major events. Each year, more than 90,000 militiamen carry out the task of guarding bridges, tunnels and railways.

駐香港、澳門部隊(duì)是中央人民政府派駐香港、澳門特別行政區(qū)的部隊(duì)，依法履行防務(wù)職責(zé)。香港、澳門駐軍法規(guī)定，特區(qū)政府在必要時(shí)可以向中央人民政府請求駐軍協(xié)助維持社會治安和救助災(zāi)害。駐香港、澳門部隊(duì)適時(shí)組織聯(lián)合�？昭策壓湍甓妊萘�(xí)演練活動，參與特區(qū)政府組織的海上空難搜救聯(lián)合演習(xí)，圓滿完成北京奧運(yùn)會香港賽區(qū)及香港、澳門回歸慶典活動安保任務(wù)。

Hong Kong and Macao garrison troops are dispatched by the central government to the two special administrative regions (SARs) to perform defense duties according to law.

As stipulated by the garrison laws, the governments of Hong Kong and Macao SARs may, if necessary, request the central government for the assistance of the garrison troops in maintaining social order and providing disaster relief.

Hong Kong and Macao garrison troops organize joint air-sea patrols, conduct annual exercises and drills, and participate in joint exercises held by the SAR governments for air-sea search and rescue operations.

They succeeded in providing security for the Hong Kong venue of the Beijing Olympics (2008) and anniversary celebrations of the SARs' returning to the motherland.

China is a major maritime as well as land country. The seas and oceans provide immense space and abundant resources for China's sustainable development, and thus are of vital importance to the people's wellbeing and China's future.

It is an essential national development strategy to exploit, utilize and protect the seas and oceans, and build China into a maritime power. It is an important duty for the PLA to resolutely safeguard China's maritime rights and interests.

海軍結(jié)合日常戰(zhàn)備為國家海上執(zhí)法、漁業(yè)生產(chǎn)和油氣開發(fā)等活動提供安全保障，分別與海監(jiān)、漁政等執(zhí)法部門建立協(xié)調(diào)配合機(jī)制，建立完善軍警民聯(lián)防機(jī)制。協(xié)同地方有關(guān)部門開展海洋測繪與科學(xué)調(diào)查，建設(shè)海洋氣象監(jiān)測、衛(wèi)星導(dǎo)航、無線電導(dǎo)航及助航標(biāo)志系統(tǒng)，及時(shí)發(fā)布?xì)庀蠛痛�舶航行等相關(guān)信息，建立和完善管轄海域內(nèi)的航行安全保障體系。

In combination with its routine combat readiness activities, the PLAN provides security support for China's maritime law enforcement, fisheries, and oil and gas exploitation. It has established mechanisms to coordinate and cooperate with law-enforcement organs of marine surveillance and fishery administration, as well as a joint military-police-civilian defense mechanism.

Further, the PLAN has worked in coordination with relevant local departments to conduct maritime survey and scientific investigation; build systems of maritime meteorological observation, satellite navigation, radio navigation and navigation aids; release timely weather and sea traffic information; and ensure the safe flow of traffic in sea areas of responsibility.

海軍與海監(jiān)、漁政部門多次舉行海上聯(lián)合維權(quán)執(zhí)法演習(xí)演練，不斷提高軍地海上聯(lián)合維權(quán)斗爭指揮協(xié)同和應(yīng)急處置能力。2012年10月，在東海海域舉行“東海協(xié)作—2012”海上聯(lián)合維權(quán)演習(xí)，共有11艘艦船、8架飛機(jī)參演。

Together with the marine surveillance and fishery administration departments, the PLAN has conducted joint maritime exercises and drills for protecting rights and enforcing laws, and enhanced its capabilities to coordinate command and respond to emergencies in joint military-civilian operations to safeguard maritime rights.

The "Donghai Collaboration-2012" joint exercise was held in the East China Sea in October 2012, involving 11 ships and eight planes.

公安邊防部隊(duì)作為海上重要武裝執(zhí)法力量，對發(fā)生在我國內(nèi)水、領(lǐng)海、毗連區(qū)、專屬經(jīng)濟(jì)區(qū)和大陸架違反公安行政管理法律、法規(guī)、規(guī)章的違法行為或者涉嫌犯罪的行為行使管轄權(quán)。近年來，公安邊防部隊(duì)大力開展平安海區(qū)建設(shè)，加強(qiáng)北部灣海上邊界和西沙海域巡邏監(jiān)管，有效維護(hù)了海上治安穩(wěn)定。

As an important armed maritime law-enforcement body, the border public security force exercises jurisdiction over both violations of laws, rules and regulations relating to public security administration and suspected crimes committed in China's internal waters, territorial seas, contiguous zones, exclusive economic zones and continental shelf.

In recent years, the border public security force has endeavored to guarantee the security of sea areas, strengthened patrols, surveillance and management along the sea boundary in the Beibu Gulf and around the Xisha sea areas, and effectively maintained maritime public order and stability.

維護(hù)海外利益

Protecting Overseas Interests

隨著中國經(jīng)濟(jì)逐步融入世界經(jīng)濟(jì)體系，海外利益已經(jīng)成為中國國家利益的重要組成部分，海外能源資源、海上戰(zhàn)略通道以及海外公民、法人的安全問題日益凸顯。開展海上護(hù)航、撤離海外公民、應(yīng)急救援等海外行動，成為人民解放軍維護(hù)國家利益和履行國際義務(wù)的重要方式。

With the gradual integration of China's economy into the world economic system, overseas interests have become an integral component of China's national interests.

Security issues are increasingly prominent, involving overseas energy and resources, strategic sea lines of communication (SLOCs), and Chinese nationals and legal persons overseas.

Vessel protection at sea, evacuation of Chinese nationals overseas, and emergency rescue have become important ways and means for the PLA to safeguard national interests and fulfill China's international obligations.

根據(jù)聯(lián)合國安理會有關(guān)決議并經(jīng)索馬里過渡聯(lián)邦政府同意，中國政府于2008年12月26日派遣海軍艦艇編隊(duì)赴亞丁灣、索馬里海域?qū)嵤┳o(hù)航。主要任務(wù)是保護(hù)中國航經(jīng)該海域的船舶、人員安全，保護(hù)世界糧食計(jì)劃署等國際組織運(yùn)送人道主義物資船舶的安全，并盡可能為航經(jīng)該海域的外國船舶提供安全掩護(hù)。截至2012年12月，共派出13批34艘次艦艇、28架次直升機(jī)、910名特戰(zhàn)隊(duì)員，完成532批4984艘中外船舶護(hù)航任務(wù)，其中中國大陸1510艘、香港地區(qū)940艘、臺灣地區(qū)74艘、澳門地區(qū)1艘；營救遭海盜登船襲擊的中國船舶2艘，解救被海盜追擊的中國船舶22艘。

In line with the relevant resolutions of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), and with the consent of the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia, the Chinese government dispatched a combined naval task force to conduct escort operations in the Gulf of Aden and waters off Somalia on December 26, 2008.

The combined Chinese task forces are mainly charged with safeguarding the security of Chinese ships and personnel traversing those waters and the security of ships delivering humanitarian supplies for the World Food Programme (WFP) and other international organizations, and sheltering passing foreign vessels as far as possible.

As of December 2012, the Chinese Navy has dispatched, in 13 task groups, 34 warships, 28 helicopters, and 910 Special Operations Force (SOF) soldiers, escorting 4,984 ships in 532 batches. Among them, 1,510 were Chinese mainland ships, 940 Hong Kong ships, 74 Taiwan ships and one Macao ship. The task forces also rescued two Chinese ships from pirates who had boarded them and 22 which were being chased by pirates.

2011年2月，利比亞局勢急劇動蕩，在利比亞的中資機(jī)構(gòu)、企業(yè)和人員面臨重大安全威脅。中國政府組織了新中國成立以來最大規(guī)模的撤離海外公民行動，共撤出35860人。人民解放軍派出艦艇、飛機(jī)協(xié)助在利比亞人員回國。海軍執(zhí)行亞丁灣、索馬里海域護(hù)航任務(wù)的“徐州”號導(dǎo)彈護(hù)衛(wèi)艦赴利比亞附近海域，為撤離中國受困人員的船舶提供支援和保護(hù)。空軍緊急出動飛機(jī)4架，共飛行40架次，協(xié)助1655名受困人員（含240名尼泊爾人）從利比亞轉(zhuǎn)移至蘇丹，接運(yùn)287人從蘇丹回國。

In February 2011, the turbulent situation in Libya posed grave security threats to Chinese institutions, enterprises and nationals in that country.

The Chinese government organized the largest overseas evacuation since the founding of the PRC, and 35,860 Chinese nationals were taken home. The PLA contributed ships and aircraft to the effort. The Chinese Navy' s frigate Xuzhou, on escort mission in the Gulf of Aden and waters off Somalia at that time, sailed to the waters off Libya and provided support for ships evacuating Chinese nationals stranded there. The PLAAF sent four aircraft at short notice, flew 40 sorties, evacuated 1,655 people (including 240 Nepalese) from Libya to Sudan, and took 287 Chinese nationals from Sudan back home.

五、維護(hù)世界和平和地區(qū)穩(wěn)定

Safeguarding World Peace and Regional Stability

中國的安全和發(fā)展與世界的和平繁榮息息相關(guān)。中國武裝力量始終是維護(hù)世界和平和地區(qū)穩(wěn)定的堅(jiān)定力量，致力于同各國加強(qiáng)軍事合作、增進(jìn)軍事互信，參與地區(qū)和國際安全事務(wù)，在國際政治和安全領(lǐng)域發(fā)揮積極作用。

China's security and development are closely connected with the peace and prosperity of the world as a whole. China's armed forces have always been a staunch force upholding world peace and regional stability, and will continue to increase cooperation and mutual trust with the armed forces of other countries, participate in regional and international security affairs, and play an active role in international political and security fields.

參加聯(lián)合國維和行動

Participating in UN Peacekeeping Operations

中國認(rèn)真履行國際責(zé)任和義務(wù)，支持并積極參加聯(lián)合國維和行動。根據(jù)聯(lián)合國決議和中國政府與聯(lián)合國達(dá)成的協(xié)議，中國派出維和部隊(duì)和維和軍事專業(yè)人員，進(jìn)駐指定國家或地區(qū)，在聯(lián)合國主導(dǎo)下組織實(shí)施維和行動，主要承擔(dān)監(jiān)督�；�、隔離沖突和工程、運(yùn)輸、醫(yī)療保障以及參與社會重建和人道主義援助等任務(wù)。

China earnestly fulfills its international responsibilities and obligations, and supports and actively participates in UN peacekeeping missions.

In accordance with UN resolutions as well as agreements between the Chinese government and the UN, China dispatches peacekeeping troops and specialized peacekeeping personnel to designated countries or regions, who carry out peacekeeping operations under the auspices of the UN.

They are mainly tasked with monitoring ceasefires, disengaging conflicting parties, providing engineering, transportation and medical support, and participating in social reconstruction and humanitarian assistance.

1990年，人民解放軍向聯(lián)合國中東維和任務(wù)區(qū)派遣5名軍事觀察員，首次參加聯(lián)合國維和行動。1992年，向聯(lián)合國柬埔寨維和任務(wù)區(qū)派出400人的工程兵大隊(duì)，首次派遣成建制部隊(duì)。迄今為止，人民解放軍共參加23項(xiàng)聯(lián)合國維和行動，累計(jì)派出維和軍事人員2．2萬人次。中國參加維和行動的所有官兵均被授予聯(lián)合國和平勛章，有3名軍官和6名士兵在執(zhí)行維和任務(wù)中犧牲，被授予聯(lián)合國哈馬舍爾德勛章。目前，中國是聯(lián)合國安理會5個(gè)常任理事國中派遣維和軍事人員最多的國家，是聯(lián)合國115個(gè)維和出兵國中派出工兵、運(yùn)輸和醫(yī)療等保障分隊(duì)最多的國家，是繳納維和攤款最多的發(fā)展中國家。

In 1990, the PLA sent five military observers to the UN Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO) - the first time China had taken part in UN peacekeeping missions.

In 1992, it dispatched an engineering corps of 400 officers and men to the UN Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) - the first time China had sent an organic military unit on a peacekeeping mission.

To date, the PLA has dispatched 22,000 military personnel to 23 UN peacekeeping missions. All of them have been awarded the UN peace medals. Three officers and six soldiers have laid down their lives performing such duties and were posthumously awarded the Dag Hammarskjold medal. So far, China is the biggest troop and police contributor among the five permanent members of the UN Security Council.

It also dispatches the most numbers of troops for engineering, transportation and medical support among all the 115 contributing countries. China pays and contributes the largest share of UN peacekeeping costs among all developing countries.

截至2012年12月，人民解放軍有1842名官兵在9個(gè)聯(lián)合國任務(wù)區(qū)遂行維和任務(wù)。其中，軍事觀察員和參謀軍官78人，赴聯(lián)合國剛果（金）穩(wěn)定特派團(tuán)工兵、醫(yī)療分隊(duì)共218人，赴聯(lián)合國利比里亞特派團(tuán)工兵、運(yùn)輸和醫(yī)療分隊(duì)共558人，赴聯(lián)合國駐黎巴嫩臨時(shí)部隊(duì)工兵、醫(yī)療分隊(duì)共335人，赴聯(lián)合國南蘇丹特派團(tuán)工兵、醫(yī)療分隊(duì)共338人，赴聯(lián)合國／非盟達(dá)爾富爾特派團(tuán)工兵分隊(duì)315人。

As of December 2012, a total of 1,842 PLA officers and men are implementing peacekeeping tasks in nine UN mission areas.

Among them, 78 are military observers and staff officers, 218 are engineering and medical personnel for the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), 558 are engineering, transportation and medical personnel for the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL), 335 are engineering and medical personnel for the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), 338 are engineering and medical personnel for the United Nations Mission in the Republic of South Sudan (UNMISS) and 315 are engineering personnel for the African Union/United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID).

中國維和部隊(duì)發(fā)揚(yáng)特別能吃苦、特別能戰(zhàn)斗、特別能奉獻(xiàn)的優(yōu)良作風(fēng)，高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)完成各項(xiàng)任務(wù)。22年來，共新建、修復(fù)道路1萬多公里、橋梁284座，排除地雷和各類未爆物9000多枚，運(yùn)送物資100萬噸，運(yùn)輸總里程1100多萬公里，接診病人12萬人次。參謀軍官和軍事觀察員在司令部工作及巡邏、監(jiān)督停火、聯(lián)絡(luò)、談判等各項(xiàng)任務(wù)中表現(xiàn)出高度負(fù)責(zé)的職業(yè)精神。赴剛果（金）工兵分隊(duì)連續(xù)奮戰(zhàn)數(shù)晝夜，平整火山巖石場地1．6萬平方米。赴利比里亞運(yùn)輸分隊(duì)保障范圍輻射該國全境，成為駐利近50支聯(lián)合國維和部隊(duì)的運(yùn)輸保障中樞。中國維和部隊(duì)還為當(dāng)?shù)孛癖婁伮芳軜�、維修車輛、運(yùn)送物資、送醫(yī)送藥和傳授農(nóng)業(yè)種植技術(shù)。赴黎巴嫩工兵分隊(duì)自創(chuàng)“斜十字交叉定位”掃雷法，大大提高作業(yè)安全系數(shù)和進(jìn)度，日均清排面積500平方米以上；在黎以沖突期間排除未爆炸彈3500多枚。赴蘇丹達(dá)爾富爾工兵分隊(duì)在被認(rèn)為無法打井的地方打出13眼水井。赴南蘇丹工兵分隊(duì)高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)建成首個(gè)解武、復(fù)員、安置過渡培訓(xùn)中心，為當(dāng)?shù)睾推竭M(jìn)程作出積極貢獻(xiàn)。

Tough, brave and devoted, Chinese peacekeepers accomplish all their tasks in an exemplary manner.

Over the past 22 years, Chinese peacekeepers have built and repaired over 10,000 km of roads and 284 bridges, cleared over 9,000 mines and various types of unexploded ordnance (UXO), transported over one million tons of cargo across a total distance of 11 million km and treated 120,000 patients.

The staff officers and military observers have displayed a high degree of professionalism in their work at the headquarters and in the tasks of patrol, ceasefire monitoring, liaison and negotiation.

The Chinese engineering units to the Democratic Republic of the Congo worked day and night to level an area of 16,000 square meters littered with volcanic rocks.

The Chinese transportation units to Liberia have worked throughout the country and served as the transportation support center for nearly 50 peacekeeping troops there.

Chinese peacekeepers also build roads and bridges, repair vehicles and transport materials for, as well as deliver medical assistance and impart agricultural technology to local people.

The Chinese engineering units to Lebanon invented the method of "tilted cross positioning" in minesweeping, which has greatly raised the safety and efficiency of such operations.

They can now cover an average of over 500 square meters per day with this method. During the Lebanon-Israel conflict in 2006, over 3,500 unexploded bombs were defused and disposed of.

The Chinese engineering units to Darfur, Sudan, dug 13 wells in areas where well digging was deemed impossible. The Chinese engineering units to South Sudan built the first interim training center for Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR) at a high standard, making a positive contribution to the local peace process.

Chinese peacekeepers strictly abide by the code of personal conduct for UN peacekeepers, rules of engagement and laws of host countries. They respect local religious beliefs and customs, and conscientiously observe the mission regulations and rules for the Chinese peacekeeping troops, thereby winning trust from the local people.

國際災(zāi)難救援和人道主義援助

International Disaster Relief and Humanitarian Aid

中國武裝力量積極參加政府組織的國際災(zāi)難救援和人道主義援助，向有關(guān)受災(zāi)國提供救援物資與醫(yī)療救助，派出專業(yè)救援隊(duì)赴受災(zāi)國救援減災(zāi)，為有關(guān)國家提供掃雷援助，開展救援減災(zāi)國際交流。

China's armed forces take an active part in international disaster relief and humanitarian aid operations organized by the government. They provide relief supplies and medical aid, dispatch specialized rescue teams to disaster-stricken countries, provide mine-sweeping assistance and carry out international exchanges of rescue and disaster reduction.

2002年以來，人民解放軍已執(zhí)行國際緊急人道主義援助任務(wù)36次，向27個(gè)受災(zāi)國運(yùn)送總價(jià)值超過12．5億元人民幣的救援物資。2001年以來，由北京軍區(qū)工兵團(tuán)官兵、武警總醫(yī)院醫(yī)護(hù)人員和中國地震局專家組成的中國國際救援隊(duì)，已參加8次國際災(zāi)難救援行動。2010年以來，人民解放軍醫(yī)療救援隊(duì)先后3次赴海地、巴基斯坦執(zhí)行國際人道主義醫(yī)學(xué)救援任務(wù)，陸軍航空兵直升機(jī)救援隊(duì)赴巴基斯坦協(xié)助抗擊洪澇災(zāi)害。

Since 2002 the PLA has undertaken 36 urgent international humanitarian aid missions, and transported relief materials worth more than RMB1.25 billion to 27 disaster-stricken countries.

Since 2001, the Chinese International Search and Rescue (CISAR) Team, composed of officers and men from the engineering regiment of the Beijing Military Area Command, medical personnel from the PAPF General Hospital and experts from the China Earthquake Administration, has participated in eight international rescue operations.

Since 2010, PLA medical assistance teams have been sent three times to Haiti and Pakistan to carry out international humanitarian medical rescue operations, and the helicopter rescue team of the army aviation has been sent to Pakistan to assist flood-relief operations there.

2011年3月，日本發(fā)生強(qiáng)震并引發(fā)海嘯，中國國際救援隊(duì)緊急赴日參與搜救工作。2011年7月，泰國發(fā)生嚴(yán)重洪澇災(zāi)害，人民解放軍空軍出動4架飛機(jī)將中國國防部援助泰國武裝部隊(duì)的90多噸抗洪救災(zāi)物資運(yùn)抵曼谷。2011年9月，巴基斯坦發(fā)生特大洪災(zāi)，人民解放軍空軍出動5架飛機(jī)將7000頂救災(zāi)帳篷空運(yùn)至卡拉奇，蘭州軍區(qū)派出醫(yī)療防疫救援隊(duì)赴重災(zāi)區(qū)昆瑞開展醫(yī)療救援、衛(wèi)生防疫工作。

In March 2011 a devastating earthquake and tsunami hit Japan. The CISAR rushed to Japan and participated in the search-and-rescue operations.

In July 2011 heavy floods battered Thailand. The PLAAF sent four aircraft to transport to Bangkok more than 90 tons of relief materials provided by China's Ministry of National Defense to the Thai armed forces.

In September 2011, when disastrous floods struck Pakistan, the PLAAF dispatched five aircraft to deliver 7,000 tents to Karachi, and the Lanzhou Military Area Command sent a medical-care and epidemic-prevention team to Kunri, the worst-hit area.

中國武裝力量積極開展對發(fā)展中國家的醫(yī)療服務(wù)和援助，參與國際醫(yī)療交流與合作，增進(jìn)了與各國的友誼和互信。2010—2011年，海軍“和平方舟”號醫(yī)院船先后赴亞非5國和拉美4國，執(zhí)行“和諧使命”人道主義醫(yī)療服務(wù)任務(wù)，歷時(shí)193天，航程4．2萬海里，為近5萬人提供醫(yī)療服務(wù)。近年來，人民解放軍醫(yī)療隊(duì)還結(jié)合參加人道主義醫(yī)療聯(lián)合演練，積極為加蓬、秘魯、印度尼西亞等國家的民眾提供醫(yī)療服務(wù)。

China's armed forces actively provide medical care and aid to developing countries, and participate in international medical exchanges and cooperation, thus strengthening friendship and mutual trust with them.

From 2010 to 2011, PLAN's hospital ship Peace Ark visited five countries in Asia and Africa and four countries in Latin America to provide "Harmonious Mission" humanitarian medical service. In 193 days the voyage covered 42,000 nautical miles, and nearly 50,000 people received medical services. In recent years, the PLA medical team has also provided medical service to local people in Gabon, Peru and Indonesia while participating in joint humanitarian medical drills.

中國政府高度重視地雷引發(fā)的人道主義問題，積極支持和參與國際掃雷援助活動。1999年以來，人民解放軍通過舉辦掃雷技術(shù)培訓(xùn)班、專家現(xiàn)場指導(dǎo)、援助掃雷裝備等方式，配合國家相關(guān)部門向近40個(gè)亞洲、非洲、拉丁美洲國家提供掃雷援助，為外國培訓(xùn)掃雷技術(shù)人員400多名，指導(dǎo)掃除雷場20多萬平方米，捐贈價(jià)值約6000萬元人民幣的掃雷裝備器材。

The Chinese government attaches great importance to the solution of humanitarian problems caused by landmines.

It actively supports and participates in international de-mining efforts.

Since 1999, the PLA, in collaboration with relevant departments of the PRC government, has provided de-mining assistance to nearly 40 Asian, African and Latin American countries through offering training courses, sending experts to give on-site instruction, and donating de-mining equipment.

As a result, the PLA has trained more than 400 mine-clearance personnel for foreign countries, guided the clearance of more than 200,000 square meters of land-mine areas and donated mine-clearance equipment worth RMB 60 million.

To date, China and other SCO member states have conducted nine bilateral and multilateral military exercises.

Since 2005, they have carried out a series of "Peace Mission" joint exercises at the campaign level with strategic impact. They were the "Peace Mission-2005" China-Russia joint military exercise, "Peace Mission-2007" joint anti-terrorism military exercise by SCO members, "Peace Mission-2009" China-Russia joint anti-terrorism military exercise, "Peace Mission-2010" joint anti-terrorism military exercise by SCO members and "Peace Mission-2012" joint anti-terrorism military exercise by SCO members.

The aforementioned exercises served to warn and deter terrorist, secessionist and extremist forces. The capabilities of the SCO members are constantly being enhanced to jointly deal with new challenges and new threats.
