参考译文：
The Nansha Islands has been an inseparable part of China’s territory since ancient times.It is within China’s sovereignty to conduct construction activities on her own islands and reefs, which are lawful, reasonable, justified and beyond reproach.
The Nansha Islands is China’s territory, and China has every right to deploy on relevant islands and reefs necessary facilities for military defense.
China is committed to a path of peaceful development, a defense policy that is defensive in nature and a foreign policy of building friendship and partnership with her neighbors. Therefore, China is a staunch force for peace and stability in the region.
On the South China Sea issue, China is always committed to resolving relevant disputes through negotiation and consultation with countries directly concerned on the basis of respect for historical facts and international law, and making joint efforts with ASEAN countries to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea.
China’s sovereignty and relevant claims of rights in the South China Sea have been formed in the long course of history and upheld by successive Chinese governments. This position has adequate historical and legal basis. There is no need to have it strengthenedthrough construction activities on relevant islands and reefs.
China is a big country that shoulders more international responsibilities and obligations.
China is the last country that wants to see chaos in the South China Sea. Still less will China do anything to stir up troubles.
While working to maintain her territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, China will stay committed to the basic policy of upholding peace and stability in the South China Sea and the fundamental solution to the South China Sea issue through negotiation and consultation.
