如何来维护？我愿明确地告诉大家，中国绝不走传统大国的扩张老路，也不会搞任何强权政治。我们要探索一条符合时代潮流，得到各方欢迎，具有中国特色的维权之路。
How to do it? Let me state on the record that China will not take the old path of expansionism followed by traditional powers, and we will not engage in any form of power politics. Rather, we want to pioneer a uniquely Chinese way to protect our overseas interests, one that is in tune with the trend of the times and welcomed by the other parties.
首先，我们愿承担更多的国际安全义务。2008年起中国海军就参与索马里海域护航，迄今已派出22批舰艇编队，为中外6000多艘船只护航。中国已成为安理会五常中派出维和人员最多的国家，中国贡献的维和经费已上升到世界第二位。
First, China is willing to take on more international security responsibilities. Since 2008, Chinese navy has conducted escort missions off the Somali coast. So far, we have dispatched 22 fleets to escort over 6,000 Chinese and foreign ships passing through those waters. China is the biggest contributor of peacekeeping personnel among the five permanent members of the Security Council. We are also the second largest contributor to the UN peacekeeping budget.
二是根据客观需要，响应当事国的愿望，在涉及中国利益集中的地区，尝试进行一些必要的基础设施和保障能力建设。这不仅合情合理，也符合国际惯例。
Second, responding to actual needs and the wishes of the countries in question, we are trying to build some necessary infrastructure and logistical capacities in regions with a concentration of Chinese interests. This is not just reasonable and logical, but also consistent with international practice.
三是与世界各国深化互利合作，包括执法安全合作，建设性参与国际地区热点问题的政治解决，从而为中国在海外发展营造更为安全稳定的环境。
And third, we want to deepen mutually beneficial cooperation with other countries, including law enforcement and security cooperation. At the same time, we will play a constructive role in the political settlement of international and regional issues, so as to create a more secure and stable environment for China's development overseas.
