There was a more broader, more ominous message as well, one that belies China’s official rhetoric of harmony: “We should not leave the world with the impression that China is only focused on economic development, nor should we pursue the reputation” of being a “peaceful power, which would cost us dearly.”
还有口气更大、更令人不安的说法，显然与中国官方的和谐论背道而驰：“我们不能让世界产生中国只关注经济发展的印象，也不能追求‘和平大国’的名声，这样做对我们来说成本太大了。”
