BEIJING, April 16 (Xinhua) -- A white paper issued Tuesday by the State Council Information Office introduced the fundamental policies and principles followed by the diversified employment of China's armed forces.

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 cyber space.
