答：当前朝鲜半岛局势格外复杂敏感，中方对此高度关注。中方一再强调，如果半岛发生流血冲突，首先遭殃的是半岛双方人民，也势必破坏地区和平稳定，殃及周边国家。中方一贯主张有关方通过对话解决问题，并为此做出了不懈努力。要缓和、不要紧张，要对话、不要对抗，要和平、不要战争，是地区各国人民和国际社会的强烈愿望和呼声。对于任何可能导致事态恶化升级、破坏地区和平稳定的行为，中方都坚决反对，毫不含糊。我们再次强烈呼吁有关方采取负责任的态度，通过对话协商，以和平的方式解决问题，为缓和半岛紧张局势做出建设性努力。
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Jiang Yu's Remarks on the Current
Situation on the Korean Peninsula
2010/12/19
Q: How do you comment on tensions rising again on the Korean Peninsula?
A: China is highly concerned about the extraordinarily complicated and sensitive situation on the Korean Peninsula. As China has repeatedly stressed, if conflict and bloodshed happen on the Peninsula, the first to suffer would be people on both sides of the Peninsula. It will also certainly undermine peace and stability in the region and affect
neighboring countries. China has consistently called on relevant parties to solve issues through dialogue and has made unremitting efforts to this end. People from all countries in the region and the international community strongly aspire for alleviation rather than tension, dialogue rather than confrontation and peace rather than warfare. China firmly and unequivocally opposes any action that may lead to deterioration and escalation of the situation or undermine peace and stability in the region. We once again strongly appeal to relevant parties to adopt a responsible attitude, solve issues peacefully through dialogue and consultation and make constructive efforts to ease tension on the Peninsula.
外交部发言人姜瑜就日本出台新《防卫计划大纲》答记者问
2010/12/17
问：据报道，日本内阁今天通过了新《防卫计划大纲》，称中国军力的发展和不透明，已成为地区和国际社会的“担忧事项”，日本将与盟国一道推动中国采取负责任的行动。中方对此有何评论？
答：中国坚持走和平发展道路，奉行防御性国防政策，我们无意也不对任何人构成威胁。事实是，改革开放以来中国的发展，给包括日本在内的世界各国带来了共同繁荣的巨大机遇。这在国际社会有目共睹，自有公论。个别国家无权以国际社会的代表自居，不负责任地对中国的发展说三道四。
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Jiang Yu's Remarks on Japan
Adopting a New "National Defense Program Outline"
2010/12/19
Q: It's reported that the Japanese Cabinet today adopted a new National Defense Program Outline, claiming that China's growing military power and lack of transparency have become a regional and international "concern". Japan will work with allies to make China take responsible actions. What is your comment?
A: Adhering to a path of peaceful development and pursuing a national defense policy that is defensive in nature, China has no intention to pose, nor does China constitute a threat to anyone else. The fact is that China's development since the reform and opening-up has brought great opportunities for common prosperity to other countries in the world including Japan. This is widely recognized and the international community will have a fair opinion on this. Certain individual country has no right to represent the international community and make irresponsible remarks on China's development.

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Jiang Yu's Regular Press Conference on
December 16, 2010
2010/12/17
On the afternoon of December 16, 2010, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Jiang Yu held a regular press conference.
Q: ROK media reports that during his meeting with State Councilor Dai Bingguo, the DPRK top leader Kim Jong-il said that his country was willing to accept the IAEA inspection if certain preconditions were met. Could you give us more details on that?
A: About State Councilor Dai Bingguo's visit to the DPRK, I already briefed you in details last time. As for the specific issue you mentioned, we believe it should be properly handled within the framework of the Six-Party Talks according to the September 19 Joint Statement.
As the situation on the Peninsula remains complicated and sensitive, it is hoped that all parties concerned make joint efforts, keep patient, make active interaction and meet each other half way so as to ease the situation at an early date and bring it back to the track of settlement through dialogue and negotiations.
Q: It's reported that China-Japan Security Dailogue is to be held in Beijing next week. Please confirm. Second, on December 15, a bomb blast near a mosque in the south-east Iranian port city of Chabahar caused over one hundred casualties. Do you have any comment?
A: We are ready to strengthen security dialogue with Japan. As for the arrangement for the 12th China-Japan Security Dialogue, the two sides are staying in communication on relevant issues.
Chinese and Japanese leaders have recently had several meetings and contacts on multilateral occasions, reaching major consensus that marks improvement and development in bilateral relations. Attaching great importance to China-Japan relations, we are ready to work with Japan to steer bilateral relations in the right direction according to the consensus reached between leaders of the two countries and the principles set in the four political documents, with a view to promoting sound and stable
development of China-Japan strategic relations of mutual benefit.
About your second question, the Chinese Government firmly opposes terrorism of any form. We condemn the bomb attack against civilians in the southeast of Iran and express condolences to the bereaved families.
Q: It's reported that the ROK military plans to conduct a live-fire artillery drill in days to come on Yeonpyeong Island. How do you comment? Second, it's believed that Japan's recent military adjustment is aimed to deter China. How do you comment?
A: As we repeatedly stressed, if the situation on the Peninsula goes unchecked, the peoples on the two sides of the Peninsula will be the first to suffer. It is hoped that under the current circumstances, relevant parties keep calm, exercise restraint and refrain from any actions that might escalate the situation. We hope relevant parties be jointly committed to safeguarding peace and stability on the Peninsula and in Northeast Asia. No matter in past, present or future, China's position to safeguard peace and stability on the Peninsula and in Northeast Asia will remain resolute.
On your second question, following the path of peaceful development and pursuing a national defense policy which is defensive in nature, China
poses no threat to any other country. We also hope countries in the region do more to enhance political and security mutual trust and contribute to regional peace and stability.
Q: Please brief us on the visit by the US Deputy Secretary of State Steinberg. Has he met with State Councilor Dai Bingguo? What did they talk about?
A: US Deputy Secretary of State Steinberg and his delegation are on a visit to China. Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Zhijun and Vice Foreign Minister Cui Tiankai have had talks with him respectively. Special Representative of the Chinese Government on the Korean Peninsula Affairs Wu Dawei has met with him. This afternoon, State Councilor Dai Bingguo will meet with him. As the visit is still ongoing, relevant information will be released afterwards.
In light of their converged interest, China and the US should strengthen dialogue and cooperation, rather than suspicion and rivalry. We are ready to join the US to strengthen dialogue, communication and cooperation at all levels in diverse fields, push bilateral relations in a sound and stable manner and make joint efforts to peace and stability in the region and the world at large.
Q: Would you characterize Mr. Steinberg's meeting and talks with Chinese officials as "positive"? Are there any consensus reached on the Peninsula issue?
A: Relevant information will be released in due course. Since China and the US are two major countries in the world and permanent member states at the Security Council, better communication between the two will not only serve the interest of the two countries but also contribute to regional and world peace and stability.
Q: Indian Foreign Minister recently expressed his hope that China would work with India to urge Pakistan to step up efforts in its fight against domestic terrorist forces. Will Premier Wen discuss this issue during his visit to India and Pakistan?
A: Premier Wen Jiabao's visits to India and Pakistan are still under way. According to his schedule, he has probably just concluded talks with his Indian counterpart. Information on relevant activities will be released by the Chinese delegation in a timely manner. Yesterday, Premier Wen attended and delivered a speech at the China-India Business Cooperation Summit, stressing that China and India are partners rather than rivals.
Bilateral economic and trade cooperation features mutual benefits and win-win nature, thus the two should give their advantages full play to complement each other so as to seek common development.
As both India and Pakistan are our friendly neighbors, we sincerely hope that the two countries enjoy friendly co-existence and common development. It is hoped that India and Pakistan strengthen exchanges and cooperation including fighting terrorism and constantly improve relations, with a view to safeguarding peace and stability in South Asia.
Q: The new National Defense Program Outline of Japan to be released shortly will shift its defense focus to the Southwest. How do you comment?
A: I would like to emphasize that China's development is peaceful and we uphold a national defense policy that is defensive in nature and poses no threat to any other country. We hope China and Japan strengthen political and security mutual trust, and Japan, as an important country in the region, make more positive efforts to promote regional peace and stability.
Q: US New Mexico Governor Richardson stops in Beijing today on his way to the DPRK and will have meetings with the DPRK side on the
Peninsula issue during this private trip. What is China's expectation of the visit? Does China believe it will help bring the DPRK back to the Six-Party Talks?
A: As far as I know, Governor Richardson stops over in Beijing on his way to the DPRK and has no meeting arrangements with the Chinese side. We always support the US and the DPRK strengthening contact and dialogue and hope that they address each other's concerns through dialogue. We hope the parties concerned work together to bring the Peninsula issue back to the track of settlement through dialogue and consultation.
After the press conference, the spokesperson briefed the press on the 13th human rights dialogue between China and Australia upon request.
The 13th human rights dialogue between China and Australia to be held on December 20 in Beijing will be co-hosted by Vice Foreign Minister Cui Tiankai and Australian Deputy Secretary Smith of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The dialogue will cover topics including China-Australian relations, new achievements the two countries have made in human rights field, international human rights cooperation and other issues of common interest. We are ready to work with Australia to push for positive results out of the dialogue on the basis of equality and mutual respect.
