To realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment, national security is the top priority.
"It is necessary to accurately grasp the new characteristics and trends of changes in the national security situation, adhere to the overall national security concept, and embark on a national security path with Chinese characteristics. On April 15, 2014, at the first meeting of the Central National Security Commission, General Secretary Xi Jinping creatively put forward the overall concept of national security.
Over the past decade, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core and under the scientific guidance of the overall concept of national security, the mainland has firmly grasped the initiative in development and security amid the rapid changes in the international situation, and has created two miracles: rapid economic development and long-term social stability.
"There is a certain strategy, and then there is a certain merit. General Secretary Xi Jinping once quoted this ancient saying to explain that "the right strategy needs the right strategy to implement", and requires "standing high and doing things practically". This is all the more necessary to build a strong national security barrier.
On February 17, 2017, at the National Security Work Forum, the General Secretary stressed: "No matter how the international situation changes, we must maintain strategic determination, strategic self-confidence, and strategic patience, adhere to the global thinking to plan the layout, adhere to the overall development and security, adhere to the bottom-line thinking, adhere to the unity of principle and strategy, and firmly grasp the strategic initiative of safeguarding national security in our own hands." ”
The overall concept of national security covers many fields such as politics, military, territory, economy, culture, society, science and technology, network, ecology, resources, nuclear, overseas interests, space, deep sea, polar regions, biology, etc., and is constantly dynamically adjusted with social development.
General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly stressed that security is the premise of development, and development is the guarantee of security. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) included "overall development and security" in the revised Party Constitution, highlighting the full affirmation of the theoretical and practical value of this major strategic thinking by the whole Party. To coordinate development and security, it is necessary to ensure that key areas are safe and controllable, and to maintain a solid bottom line for high-quality development.
Food security is the "great thing of the country". More than one billion people want to eat, and this is the biggest national condition on the mainland. For food security related to the national economy and people's livelihood, General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly exhorted to firmly guard the bottom line of food security.
"Our country has historically transferred grain from the south to the north, and now it is the grain from the north to the south. I have often told leading cadres in the eastern region that you can now devote yourself wholeheartedly to construction, and do not forget that the food you eat depends on the fraternal provinces and municipalities to ensure your food. In September last year, at the symposium on promoting the comprehensive revitalization of Northeast China in the new era held in Harbin, Heilongjiang, the general secretary said earnestly, "On the other hand, it is not that the positioning of economic centers and science and technology centers is more important, but for the overall situation of the whole country, the positioning of the 'ballast stone' of food security is also glorious and important." ”
△On March 19, 2024, in Gangzhongping Village, Xiejiapu Town, Dingcheng District, Changde City, Hunan Province, General Secretary Xi Jinping walked into the field to inspect the progress of seedling cultivation and spring plowing preparation.
In March this year, during the spring plowing season, the general secretary came to the comprehensive demonstration area of 10,000 mu of grain production in Xiejiapu Town, Dingcheng District, Changde City, Hunan. Hearing from the villagers that the income was high, the general secretary was very happy: "I often say that the rice bowl of the Chinese should be firmly held in their own hands, and it should mainly contain Chinese grain. More than 1.4 billion of us can't rely on anyone. Now that life is better, we must not forget this. ”
At the subsequent symposium on promoting the rise of the central region in the new era, General Secretary Xi Jinping once again emphasized the need to put the guarantee of national food security in a prominent position.
△ In the late spring, farmers around the country seize the agricultural time to carry out agricultural activities. The picture shows that on April 12, 2024, in the farmland of Henan Li Village, Shouchang Town, Jiande City, Zhejiang, agricultural mechanics drove a rice transplanter to plant seedlings.
"Energy security and security are related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and they are the 'great power of the country' that cannot be ignored for a while. "Energy security is also a proposition that the general secretary often mentions.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the construction of a new energy system in the mainland has been accelerated, and the foundation of energy security has been continuously consolidated, providing strong support for economic and social development. At the same time, it should also be noted that the mainland's energy development is still facing a series of challenges such as huge demand pressure, many supply constraints, and arduous tasks for green and low-carbon transformation.
On February 29 this year, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) held the 12th collective study on new energy technology and the mainland's energy security. "Energy security is related to the overall economic and social development. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that the way out to deal with these challenges is to vigorously develop new energy.
△On October 10, 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was in Jiangxi, came to Sinopec Jiujiang Branch to communicate cordially with the company's employees.
The layout is orderly, and the fall is sound.
In 2023, the foundation of food security on the mainland will be further consolidated. In the face of extreme weather such as floods, the country's grain output still achieved "20 consecutive bumpers", reaching 1.39 trillion catties, a record high.
From 2012 to 2021, the continent supported an average economic growth of 6.6% with an average annual energy consumption growth rate of 3%, making it one of the countries with the fastest reduction in energy intensity in the world. In 2023, China's total installed renewable energy capacity will exceed 1.5 billion kilowatts, accounting for more than 50% of the country's total installed power generation capacity, surpassing the installed thermal power capacity in a historic way, and China will contribute more than 50% of the new renewable energy capacity in the world.
△On November 28, 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected the Shanghai Futures Exchange.
Financial security is an important part of national security. Safeguarding financial security is a major strategic and fundamental matter that has a bearing on the overall economic and social development of the mainland.
In July 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to analyze and study the current economic situation and deploy economic work in the second half of the year. The meeting pointed out that it is necessary to strengthen financial supervision and control, and steadily promote the reform of high-risk small and medium-sized financial institutions to reduce risks.
At the end of October of that year, the Central Financial Work Conference proposed to comprehensively strengthen financial supervision and effectively prevent and resolve financial risks. Earnestly improve the effectiveness of financial supervision, bring all financial activities into supervision in accordance with the law, comprehensively strengthen institutional supervision, behavior supervision, functional supervision, penetrating supervision, and continuous supervision, eliminate regulatory gaps and blind spots, strictly enforce the law, dare to show the sword, and severely crack down on illegal financial activities.
From "strengthening" to "comprehensively strengthening", the bottom line of firmly guarding against systemic financial risks has become more solid.
△On 13 April 2024, the Hong Kong Police Force (HKSAR) Government held the National Security Education Day and the Opening Ceremony of the Hong Kong Police College Open Day. On the 13th, officers of the Force Escort Group briefed the public on their work.
On March 19 this year, the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) deliberated and passed the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance, which was gazetted and came into effect on March 23. The organic convergence between the Hong Kong National Security Ordinance and the implemented Hong Kong National Security Law has made up for the shortcomings of the HKSAR's system and mechanism for safeguarding national security, and jointly built a solid shield for the HKSAR to safeguard national security, enabling the HKSAR to fully and effectively prevent, suppress and punish acts and activities endangering national security.
The national security system is an important part of the national governance system and an important support for maintaining and shaping national security. In recent years, under the care and promotion of General Secretary Xi Jinping, the four beams and eight pillars of the national security system have been initially built——
A series of laws and regulations, including the Cybersecurity Law, the Biosecurity Law, the Data Security Law, the Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law, the Food Security Law, and the Counter-Espionage Law, have been promulgated and implemented, continuously building a solid legal guarantee for national security in the new era.
Improve anti-sanctions, anti-interference, and anti-"long-arm jurisdiction" mechanisms, improve the national security policy system, risk monitoring and early warning system, national emergency management system, security guarantee system in key areas, and coordination and command system for important special projects, improve the layout of national security forces, and build a three-dimensional and efficient national security protection system with global linkage...... A set of national security systems with Chinese characteristics that are based on basic national conditions, reflect the characteristics of the times, and adapt to the strategic security environment, with coordinated content, strict procedures, complete supporting facilities, and effective operation, has been accelerated to form.
At present, the development of the mainland has entered a period in which strategic opportunities, risks and challenges coexist, and uncertainties and unpredictable factors are increasing, and various "black swan" and "gray rhinoceros" events may occur at any time. In the coming period, the risks and challenges we face will only become more and more severe.
Only by being prepared for danger in times of peace, taking precautions for rainy days, and earnestly permeating the overall national security concept in all aspects of the work of the Party and the state, can we continue to write a new chapter in the journey of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
