1月17日上午，国防部新闻局局长、国防部新闻发言人吴谦大校就近期涉军问题发布消息。
记者：据报道，076两栖攻击舰首舰“四川舰”近日在上海举行下水命名仪式，引发境内外舆论高度关注。有台湾媒体称，076舰立体化登陆作战能力惊人，该舰出动就是台湾最危险的时刻。还有外媒炒作该舰将打破地区军事力量平衡，带来不稳定因素。请问对此有何评论？
Question: The first Type 076 amphibious assault ship PLANS Sichuan had its launching and commissioning ceremony recently in Shanghai, which received wide media coverage around the world. According to media of the Taiwan region, the ship has astonishing capabilities for three-dimensional landing operations, and the deployment of the ship would be the most dangerous moment for Taiwan. Some foreign news outlets also claimed that the ship will break regional balance of military power and bring unstable factors. What’s your comment?
吴谦：根据国防需要发展必要武器装备，是世界各国的通行做法。中国自主研制建造076两栖攻击舰，是着眼国家安全需要和海军建设发展全局作出的正常安排，目的是捍卫国家主权、安全、发展利益，更好地维护世界和地区和平稳定。该舰是我国自主研制的新型两栖攻击舰，创新运用电磁弹射和阻拦技术，可搭载固定翼飞机、直升机、两栖装备等，具备较强的两栖作战、远海作战能力。该舰下水后，将按计划开展设备调试、系泊试验、航行试验等工作。
Wu Qian: It is a common practice for countries around the world to develop weapons and equipment in accordance with their national defense requirements. China’s independent development and construction of the Type 076 amphibious assault ship is a normal arrangement consistent with China's national security needs and the overall development of the PLA Navy. The goal is to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests and better protect peace and stability in the region and beyond. The vessel is a new-type amphibious assault ship independently developed by China. It applies electromagnetic catapult and arresting technology, and can carry fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and amphibious equipment. The ship has strong capabilities for amphibious and far-seas operations. After its launching, the ship will conduct equipment adjustments, mooring trials and sea trials.
中国始终坚持走和平发展道路，始终不渝奉行防御性国防政策。076两栖攻击舰下水是海军装备发展中的一次正常安排，不针对任何特定目标、地区和国家。
China stays committed to the path of peaceful development and a defense policy that is defensive in nature. The launching of the ship is a normal arrangement in the development of the PLA Navy. It is not targeted at any specific entity, region or country.
