The meeting emphasized the need to accelerate the modernization of the national security system and capabilities, highlight the clear orientation of actual combat, pay more attention to collaborative efficiency, legal thinking, scientific and technological empowerment, grassroots foundation, and promote the organic connection, linkage and integration of all aspects of construction.
In recent years, the four beams and eight pillars of the national security system have been initially established, national security capabilities have been significantly enhanced, and its supporting role in national security has become increasingly apparent.
The national security system continues to improve——
The national security system is an important part of the national governance system and an important support for maintaining and shaping national security.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the construction of the national security legal system has been accelerated. The National Security Law establishes the guiding position of the overall national security concept in legal form and clarifies various tasks for safeguarding national security. A series of laws and regulations, including the Cybersecurity Law, Biosecurity Law, Data Security Law, Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law, Food Security Law, and Counterespionage Law, have been promulgated and implemented to continuously build a legal guarantee for national security in the new era.
On March 19 this year, the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region reviewed and passed the “Maintaining National Security Ordinance” and it was gazetted and took effect on March 23. The Hong Kong National Security Ordinance is organically connected with the already implemented Hong Kong National Security Law, which makes up for the shortcomings of the SAR’s system and mechanism for safeguarding national security, and jointly builds a solid barrier for the SAR to safeguard national security, enabling the Hong Kong SAR to comprehensively and effectively prevent, stop and punish threats to the country. Safe behaviors and activities.
From the review and approval of the “National Security Strategy Outline” in January 2015 to the review and approval of the “National Security Strategy (2021-2025)” in November 2021, the national security strategy system has been continuously formulated and improved, further clarifying the national security strategy guidelines, The medium- and long-term goals and national security policies in key areas provide strong strategic support for comprehensively ensuring national security under the new situation.

The ability to safeguard national security continues to increase——
The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to “strengthen the construction of national security capabilities and resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests.” The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to “enhance the ability to safeguard national security.”
Previously, sea cucumber farmers in Dalian, Liaoning reported several “uninvited guests” to the national security agency.
It turned out that someone led several foreign personnel to install marine hydrological monitoring equipment and sea and air surveillance and recording equipment in sea cucumber farms, and relevant data was continuously transmitted overseas.
The national security agencies have decisively attacked and cracked down on the illegal activities of overseas organizations and personnel in stealing secrets from China in accordance with the law, effectively eliminating the risk of leakage of confidential data and information, and effectively safeguarding national security.
Dare to fight and be good at fighting.

All regions and departments focus on the strategic needs of maintaining and shaping national security, pay more attention to coordination and efficiency, pay more attention to legal thinking, pay more attention to scientific and technological empowerment, pay more attention to grassroots foundation, and comprehensively improve national security capabilities.
Adhere to the mutual promotion of high-quality development and high-level security
General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized that security is the prerequisite for development, and development is the guarantee of security. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China included “coordinating development and security” into the revised Party Constitution, which highlighted the full affirmation of the theoretical and practical value of this major strategic thought by the whole party.
In December 2023, the Central Economic Work Conference pointed out that we must adhere to the positive interaction between high-quality development and high-level security, promote high-level security with high-quality development, and ensure high-quality development with high-level security. Development and security must be dynamically balanced and complement each other.
In March this year, in Changsha, Hunan, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a symposium on promoting the rise of the central region in the new era and emphasized that high-quality development and high-level security must promote each other.
Over the past ten years, China has created two miracles: rapid economic development and long-term social stability by insisting on coordinating development and security and doing a good job in both development and security.
The overall national security concept covers politics, military, land, economy, culture, society, science and technology, network, ecology, resources, nuclear, overseas interests, space, deep sea, polar regions, biology and many other fields. To coordinate development and security, we must ensure that key areas are safe and controllable, and maintain the bottom line to achieve high-quality development.
Safety is the first need of ordinary people after food and clothing. We should take the maintenance of national security and social stability as a basic task of the party and the country, effectively prevent and resolve various political security risks, promote the fight against gangs and evil on a regular basis, adhere to and develop the “Maple Bridge Experience” in the new era, The social security situation is at the best level in history… The construction of Safe China has made historic achievements, which has made development security more powerful and the national political security defense line has been further strengthened. The international community generally believes that China is one of the safest countries in the world. Ping An has become a bright national business card of China.
Food is connected to people’s livelihood and national security. In 2023, the foundation of my country’s food security will be further consolidated. In the face of extreme weather such as floods, the country’s grain output still achieved “20 consecutive harvests”, reaching 1.39 trillion kilograms, setting another record high, firmly holding the Chinese people’s jobs in their hands.
Financial security is an important component of national security. By convening the central financial work conference and promoting the reform of the financial supervision system, the prevention and control of financial risks has been placed in a more important position, the bottom line of no systemic financial risks has been firmly held, and the development trend has been grasped. The financial system has strongly supported economic and social development. Overall, finance has become an important force in promoting economic and social development.
There is no national security without cybersecurity. In recent years, a series of non-traditional security issues such as network security and artificial intelligence security have become more prominent. The Cybersecurity Law, Data Security Law, and Personal Information Protection Law were promulgated and implemented to provide legal support for network security maintenance; the National Cybersecurity Incident Contingency Plan was implemented to effectively improve network security emergency response and incident handling capabilities; the National Cyber Security Event was held for 10 consecutive years. Security Publicity Week activities have significantly improved the network security awareness and capabilities of the whole society…
Security is like sunshine, you don’t realize it when you benefit from it, but you can’t survive if you lose it. The key to achieving a high level of security lies in running your own affairs well, improving the quality of development, improving international competitiveness, and enhancing the country’s comprehensive strength and ability to withstand risks.
In April 2022, President Xi Jinping solemnly proposed a global security initiative, adhering to a common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security concept, and advocating a new security path of dialogue rather than confrontation, partnership rather than alliance, and win-win rather than zero sum. .
Proposing the global security initiative is a major theoretical innovation in the overall national security concept that focuses on coordinating the security of one’s own country and the security of other countries, adhering to the principle of indivisibility of security, and jointly safeguarding world peace and security.
In recent years, China has joined hands with the international community to actively implement global security initiatives, advocate bridging differences through dialogue and resolving disputes through cooperation, resolutely opposes all forms of hegemonism and power politics, and advocates a spirit of unity and win-win thinking to respond to complex and intertwined security challenges. , to create a security pattern that is fair, just, co-constructed and shared.
*** ***
The peace and prosperity of the country and the people are the most basic and universal aspiration of the people.
On the new journey, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, we will adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, fully implement the overall national security concept, coordinate development and security, coordinate openness and security, and coordinate traditional Security and non-traditional security, coordinating own security and common security, coordinating the maintenance of national security and shaping national security. The path of national security with Chinese characteristics will surely become wider and wider, building a solid national security barrier for the great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation.
