On the morning of February 28, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held its 19th collective study on building a higher level of safe China. When presiding over the study, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, emphasized that building a higher-level safe China is related to the prosperity of the cause, the people’s better life, and the long-term stability of the country. We must unswervingly implement the overall national security concept, continue to work hard to make the country safer, society more orderly, governance more effective, and people more satisfied, and push the construction of a safe China to a higher level.
Comrade Li Yan, Vice President and Professor of Southwest University of Political Science and Law, explained this issue and put forward work suggestions. Comrades from the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee listened carefully to the explanation and discussed it.
Xi Jinping delivered an important speech after listening to explanations and discussions. He pointed out that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has continuously improved the national security leadership system and the rule of law system, strategic system, and policy system, improved the social governance system, strengthened overall prevention and control of social security, focused on improving the level of public security governance, and resolutely safeguarded the country. Sovereignty, security, and development interests have successfully continued to write a new chapter of the “two miracles” of rapid economic development and long-term social stability. To adapt to the development and changes of the situation and tasks, the construction of Safe China can only be strengthened and not weakened.
Xi Jinping emphasized that the overall national security concept is an important guideline for building a safer China at a higher level and must be unswervingly implemented. Party committees and governments at all levels must adhere to systematic thinking, further establish the concept that development is the last word and security is also the last word, consciously unify development and security in their work, and jointly plan, deploy in an integrated manner, and promote each other. It is necessary to adhere to the whole country’s game of chess and work together, create conditions for the overall security of the country by grasping the security of one place, one region and one industry, and build a solid foundation for the long-term stability of the country by promptly and effectively solving one security issue one by one.
Xi Jinping pointed out that the construction of Safe China is for the people and relies on the people. We must continuously improve people’s livelihood and well-being, solidly promote common prosperity, effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the people, and safeguard social fairness and justice. It is necessary to improve the social governance system, improve the social work system and mechanism, and build a social governance community in which everyone is responsible, everyone fulfills their responsibilities, and everyone enjoys it. It is necessary to cultivate a social mentality of self-respect, self-confidence, rationality, peace, and positive progress, and promote the new trend of the times that is determined to forge ahead, willing to contribute, advocating the rule of law, and civilized courtesy.
Xi Jinping emphasized that preventing and defusing various risks is an important task in building a safe China. We must put safeguarding national political security first and firmly safeguard the security of national power, institutional security, and ideological security. It is necessary to improve the public security system, promote the transformation of the public security governance model to pre-emptive prevention, and strengthen disaster prevention, reduction and relief, production safety, food and drug safety, network security, artificial intelligence security and other aspects. Efforts should be made to prevent risks in key areas.
Xi Jinping pointed out that to build a higher level of safe China, we must strengthen the overall prevention and control of social security. It is necessary to combine special governance with systematic governance, legal governance, comprehensive governance, and source governance, develop and strengthen the forces of mass prevention and governance, and build a real iron wall. It is necessary to adhere to and develop the “Maple Bridge Experience” in the new era, promote the legalization of petition work, and resolve various conflicts and disputes in a timely and effective manner.
Xi Jinping emphasized that the party’s leadership is the fundamental guarantee for building a safe China. We must always uphold the Party Central Committee’s absolute leadership over national security work and political and legal work, and give full play to the leadership role of party committees at all levels in overseeing the overall situation and coordinating all parties in the construction of peace. It is necessary to strengthen positive publicity and public opinion guidance, and focus on using modern scientific and technological means to improve the effectiveness of social governance. It is necessary to forge a loyal, clean and responsible political and legal iron army in the new era.
