9月24日下午，慶祝中華人民共和國成立70週年活動新聞中心在梅地亞中心二層新聞發佈廳舉辦第一場專題集體採訪活動，介紹有關閱兵活動安排，並回答記者提問。

以下爲本次發佈會要點：

The military parade for the upcoming National Day celebrations, which will take place in Beijing on Oct 1, will involve around 15,000 military personnel.The scale of the parade will be the largest in recent years.10月1日舉行的國慶閱兵總規模約1.5萬人，是近幾次閱兵中規模最大的一次。

A total of 59 formations and a military band, including more than 160 aircraft and 580 pieces of equipment, will be featured in the parade.

這次閱兵編59個方（梯）隊和聯合軍樂團，各型飛機160餘架、裝備580臺（套）。

The parade will consist of two parts. First, the troops will be reviewed along Chang'an Avenue; then, airborne flag-guarding echelons, foot formations, armament formations and air echelons will pass through or fly across Tian'anmen Square. The parade will last for about 80 minutes.

閱兵活動按閱兵式、分列式兩個步驟進行，時長約80分鐘。閱兵式，受閱部隊在長安街列陣，接受檢閱。分列式，依次按空中護旗梯隊、徒步方隊、裝備方隊、空中梯隊的順序通過天安門廣場。

Foot formations are comprised of 15 formations of guards of honor, servicewomen, civilian personnel, reserve forces, militia, peacekeepers, among others.

徒步方隊編儀仗方隊、女兵方隊、文職人員方隊、預備役部隊方隊、民兵方隊、維和部隊方隊等15個方隊。

A total of 32 armament formations will join the parade, including those of land combat operation, maritime combat operation and air defense and missile defense.

裝備方隊編陸上作戰、海上作戰、防空反導等32個方隊。

Bombers, naval aircraft, fighters and other weaponry will fly in 12 air echelons.

空中梯隊編轟炸機梯隊、艦載機梯隊、殲擊機梯隊等12個梯隊。

首次亮相的新型武器裝備比重較高

A selection of new weapons utilized by the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) will feature in the parade.這次閱兵安排中國人民解放軍部分新型武器裝備受閱。

All the weapons and equipment to feature in the parade are domestic and in active service with a high level of IT application and better strike accuracy.

這次參閱的武器裝備有兩大特點：第一，所有受閱裝備均爲國產現役主戰裝備。第二，受閱裝備信息化程度普遍比較高。

The new weapons also display a joint combat system of the PLA and innovative features from China's national defense industry.

新型裝備集中展現我軍聯合作戰裝備體系構成，比較充分地體現了我國國防科研自主創新能力。

駐華武官將應邀觀看閱兵活動

The military parade this year is the first of its kind since socialism with Chinese characteristics entered a new era and the first public appearance of the people's army after its comprehensive reform and restructuring, Wu said.這次閱兵是中國特色社會主義進入新時代的首次國慶閱兵，也是人民軍隊全面改革重塑後的首次整體亮相。

A total of 188 military attaches from 97 countries stationed in China have been invited to watch the military parade, Wu said.

屆時將有97個國家的188名駐華武官應邀觀看閱兵活動。

閱兵不是“秀肌肉”

China has no intention nor need to flex its muscles in the military parade, said Wu Qian, a spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, at the group interview.

國防部發言人吳謙在集體採訪中表示，我們既沒有意圖，更沒有必要通過閱兵來“秀肌肉”。

Over the last 70 years, with the enhancing military strength, China has made great contributions to the world, Wu said, adding that the stronger the country is, the greater constructive role it will play in keeping world peace.

70年來，中國軍隊的世界貢獻有目共睹。我們自身越強，爲世界和平提供的正能量就會越多。

There is a flawed logic blaming the Chinese military for "flexing its muscles" if it showcases its weapons and "having no transparency" if it does not, Wu said.

他們頭腦中有一些非常奇怪的邏輯：如果中國軍隊展示武器裝備就是“秀肌肉”，如果不展示就是“不透明”。

"The best way to deal with such logic is to focus on one's own missions," Wu said.

我覺得對付這種邏輯最好的辦法就是堅定不移地做好自己的事情。

China's armed forces will resolutely safeguard China's sovereignty, security and development interests, actively contribute to building a community with a shared future for humanity and stride forward along its own path to build a stronger military under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, Wu said.

中國軍隊將在中國共產黨的堅強領導下，堅決捍衛國家主權、安全、發展利益，積極服務構建人類命運共同體，沿着中國特色強軍之路闊步向前。
