國防部：深藍是航母永恒的方向

MND: Aircraft Carriers Are Destined for the Deep Blue

11月14日下午，國防部新聞局副局長、國防部新聞發言人蔣斌大校就近期涉軍問題發布消息。

記者：據報道，中國海軍稱福建艦常駐地為三亞軍港。有分析認為，中國在南海地區越來越積極地維護領土主張，并尋求在更遠區域投射海軍力量，可能引起部分國家擔憂。請問發言人有何評論？

Question: According to media reports, the PLA Navy has confirmed that aircraft carrier PLANS Fujian is based at a military port in Sanya. Some analysts suggest that China will be more active in upholding its territorial claims in the South China Sea and seek to project naval forces to farther areas, which may raise concerns among certain countries. What’s your comment?

蔣斌：中國堅持走和平發展道路，堅定奉行防御性國防政策，中國軍隊始終是維護世界和平的堅定力量。福建艦母港位置選擇，是根據軍港水文條件、周邊配套保障設施建設，以及便于航母執行海上戰備訓練任務等因素確定的。正如我的海軍戰友們所說，國家利益所至，艦艇航跡必達，深藍才是航母永恒的方向。

Jiang Bin: China adheres to the path of peaceful development and follows a national defense policy that is defensive in nature. The Chinese military remains a staunch force for world peace. The selection of the home port for aircraft carrier PLANS Fujian is determined based on factors such as the hydrological conditions of the military port, the location and construction of supporting facilities, and the convenience for the aircraft carrier to carry out maritime combat readiness and training missions. Our navy colleagues say that PLAN vessels will sail to wherever necessary for the protection of China’s national interests. For an aircraft carrier, the deep blue is where it is destined for.
