Q: first question, this picture shows two days of Chinese carrier aircraft called the J-15, and have many foreign media in Dalian, China is expected to modify the "Varyag" aircraft carrier on July 1 this year the trial, please confirm? Secondly, there were reports that in 2020 the Chinese military will have cut off foreign military network information, while blinding the satellite, and some other network attack capabilities, the Chinese military has been nearly two years of a country network attacks. Does this make any comment on that?

Geng Yansheng: On the aircraft carrier, we have noticed about some media reports, I want to clarify that, so far no further information released to you.

Secondly, hackers, spam, viruses e-mail has become the Internet pollution, China is also one of the biggest victims. Chinese law prohibits any form of network hacking attacks, the Chinese government always attaches importance to network security, and resolutely oppose any form of Internet crime.

Q: Recently, the army chief of staff of the SCO meeting in Shanghai has just ended, we would like to know what made this meeting the results? Including the next SCO joint military exercises situation? Will this year be held on a number of SCO joint military exercise?

Geng Yansheng: The meeting's objective is to resolutely implement the heads of SCO member countries reached important consensus to further strengthen and deepen defense and security cooperation. The parties agreed that coordinated action to jointly combat the "three forces" to deal with new threats and new challenges in maintaining regional peace and tranquility, and promote common development and prosperity of their due contributions. Kazakhstan, China, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan signed a heads of delegation meeting.

Within the SCO framework of bilateral and multilateral joint military exercises, defense and security of the organization an important part of cooperation, it has been held seven times. Practice has proved that the joint military exercises on the shock and awe "three forces", members of the armed forces to enhance mutual understanding and trust, and promote their own armed forces, and improve the response to new threats and challenges, ability to act together, played a very important role. Whether bilateral or multilateral joint military exercises are based on the theme of terrorism, not against any third party, without prejudice to the interests of other countries. This form of exercise in the future will be more diverse, the content will be more abundant. The meeting and held recently in Astana, the SCO defense ministers have talked about this issue. As for the future joint military exercises, members of relevant departments are studying consultations, we are on the further development of SCO defense and security cooperation in the field with confidence.

Q: Some media reports said the previous paragraph, the Chinese military authorities on the J-20 stealth fighters conducted a second test flight, will the J-20 stealth fighter how the second test flight of progress made, does that indicate that J-20 aircraft from the production one step further?

Geng Yansheng: With the advances in technology, continuous development and updating of the Chinese military weapons and equipment is very normal, which is the world's common practice in military modernization. The development of new weapons and equipment in the process, launched a series of trials is normal. It should be stressed that China firmly pursues a defensive national defense policy and military strategy of active defense, the development of weapons and equipment to meet the needs of national security, is not directed against any country and specific objectives.We hope that the outside world an objective, balanced view on China's normal military weapons testing, do not make excessive speculation and interpretation.

Q: Recently the U.S. Pacific Commander Willard Senate Armed Services Committee, said Sino-US military relations have improved, but the dialogue has not achieved the desired results. Willard also said U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has twice raised with China on nuclear strategy, space and cyberspace issues high-level dialogue, but no response from the Chinese side. What is your comment?

Geng Yansheng: Sino-US military ties are an important part of bilateral relations, a healthy and stable military relations between China and the U.S. to work together to build mutual respect, mutual benefit and win-win partnership is essential. China has always attached importance to developing bilateral military relations, and has made unremitting efforts. Sino-US defense consultations by the two armed forces, the Defense Department working meetings and maritime military security consultations, and other channels, has maintained effective communication and dialogue. We believe that the relevant remarks of the United States does not fit the facts, I hope the U.S. side take concrete actions for the healthy and stable development of bilateral military relations and create a good atmosphere.

Q: Not long ago, think tank, Institute for Defense Studies of Japan's "China's security," the report said, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and friction between the Chinese army is difficult to deny. Japan's defense minister recently told the media Kitazawa handsome, while developing relations with China should strengthen the Japan-South Korea tripartite relationship, Japan's growing naval power of China, worried about.What is your comment?

Geng Yansheng: China has taken note of Japan's defense minister issued statements concerning China and Japan Defense Research Institute published the "China Security" report, Japan's remarks ignore China's road of peaceful development, pursues a defensive national defense policy of the objective facts, rendering " China's military threat ", China is firmly opposed.

In recent years, defense exchanges and Japan made some progress, but there are serious obstacles. In particular, minorities and part of the Japanese media speculation malicious development of the Chinese army, misleading the public, damage to the Sino-Japanese friendship in the public opinion. We hope that both sides eliminate interference, enhance understanding, increase mutual trust, continue to carry out exchanges in various fields of defense, promote the bilateral strategic and mutually beneficial relations between the overall development.

Q: Recently, media reports said, after a period of interruption, China and India, the resumption of defense exchanges between them, and another reported that a high-level Indian military delegation will visit China in June, and the Chinese side during the program and determine joint military exercises between the two countries. Please confirm?

Geng Yansheng: In recent years, Sino-Indian military relations to achieve a new breakthrough, showing a good momentum of development. China is willing to respect each other's concerns and properly handle differences, based on contradictions, and at all levels to promote the military exchanges and cooperation. We believe that mutual respect, mutual understanding, seek common ground in the spirit of the joint efforts of both sides, the Sino-Indian armed forces will further enhance strategic mutual trust, bilateral military relations will be on a healthy track.

It is understood that officers from different military border guards of India consisting of the delegation will soon visit China.
