国防部回应J-20试飞:理性看待中国正常装备试验
中新社北京4月27日电 (记者 欧阳开宇)中国国防部新闻发言人耿雁生,27日在回答记者有关“J-20”第二次试飞的问题时说:“希望外界能够客观、理性地看待中国军队正常的武器装备试验,不要作过度的猜测和解读。”
“需要强调的是,中国坚定奉行防御性国防政策和积极防御的军事战略,发展武器装备是为了满足维护国家安全的需要,不针对任何国家和特定目标。”耿雁生说。
Journalist: "We notice there'r many news reported the China mysterious J-20 fighter, Can u talk more about it? Is there some information about its 2nd testing flight? How long will J-20 going to mass produce in China and serve in PLAAF?"
PLA spokesman(ministry of national defense):"We wish outside world to be objective and rational to view Chinese military development and normal weapons & equipments testing, do not make over-suspicion and misinterpretation. Here need to be emphasized is that China firmly pursues a defensive national defense policy and military strategy of active defense, the development of weapons & equipments to meet the requirement of safeguarding national security, not against any country and specific goals.That's all !"
Indeed Chinese official didn't announce the J-20 existence, and never held any press conference to advertise J-20. They didn't deny it but didn't say 'YES'. What the J20 actually intended for ? Fellow chinese ministry of national defense , the answer was in the words of PLA spokesman =P.
