防御性的国防政策
a national defense policy that is in nature defensive
例句：中国决不会以牺牲别国利益为代价来发展自己，也决不放弃自己的正当权益。中国奉行防御性的国防政策，中国发展不对任何国家构成威胁。中国无论发展到什么程度都永远不称霸。（摘自习近平在庆祝改革开放40周年大会上的讲话，2018年12月18日）
译文：China will never pursue development at the expense of others’ interests, nor will China ever give up its own legitimate rights and interests. China pursues a national defense policy that is in nature defensive. China does not pose a threat to any other country. No matter what stage of development it reaches, China will never seek hegemony. (from the speech at the conference celebrating the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up, December 18, 2018)
