III. Maintaining national security in key areas
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that the road ahead cannot be smooth sailing, and the brighter the prospects, the more necessary it is to enhance the sense of danger, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and comprehensively understand and effectively respond to some major risks and challenges. It is necessary to focus on key points, grasp the outline and lead the way, and strive to prevent all kinds of risks and challenges from internal and external linkage, accumulation and superposition, and continuously improve national security capabilities.
Comprehensively implement the overall national security concept, strive to promote the comprehensive development and progress of national security in the new era, and maintain national security in key areas as the main front and battlefield. It is necessary to regard ensuring political security as the primary task, and plan and advance national security work in all key areas from the perspective of maintaining political security; With risk prevention and control as the main line, it is necessary not only to prevent and control the main security risks in this field, but also to prevent the superposition and resonance of security risks in different fields; Implement national security policies and weave a dense national security network. At present and for some time to come, it is necessary to focus on national security work in key areas such as political security, homeland security, economic security, social security, network security, and external security.
Maintain political security. Political security has a bearing on the security of the party and the country and is the foundation of national security. Upholding the leadership of the Communist Party of China, upholding the socialist system, and ensuring the security of the party's ruling power are the fundamental tasks of maintaining political security. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that the ideological field is a battlefield without gunpowder for the "right to control the brain". All kinds of hostile forces have never ceased to carry out the strategy of Westernization and division against our country, and have never stopped carrying out subversive and sabotage activities against the leadership of the Communist Party of China and our socialist system. It is necessary to earnestly strengthen ideological work, firmly grasp the leadership and discourse power in the ideological field, strengthen the "four self-confidences", and promote Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The strategic plot of the hostile forces to plot a "color revolution" in our country is long-term. We must always keep a clear head, never relax our vigilance, resolutely guard against and resist "color revolutions," and resolutely curb the infiltration, subversion, and sabotage activities of Western hostile forces. To maintain political security, we must always adhere to the party's leadership over all work, adhere to the comprehensive and strict governance of the party, firmly establish the "four consciousnesses", consciously safeguard the authority of the party central committee and centralized and unified leadership, and consciously maintain a high degree of consistency with the party central committee with comrade xi jinping as the core in terms of ideology, politics and action.
Maintain homeland security. Homeland security is the foundation of a nation. The state of national security is closely related to the prosperity of the country. Only when the national territory is protected from external aggression and threats, and when resources are not excessively consumed by war or war prevention, can the country develop stably and the people live and work in peace and contentment. At present, China's homeland security is facing complex and severe challenges, and safeguarding homeland security is a major and urgent strategic task for safeguarding national security. It is necessary to enhance the ability to safeguard homeland security, strengthen the construction of border, coastal and air defense, carefully organize border control and maritime rights protection actions, resolutely defend territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, effectively curb all kinds of plots and behaviors that infringe on China's homeland security, and build an iron wall of homeland security. We will resolutely oppose all activities to split the motherland, crack down on the "three forces" of religious extremism, ethnic separatism, and violent terrorism, resolutely guard against "Tibet independence" and "Xinjiang independence", resolutely thwart any form of "Taiwan independence" separatist plots, and make every effort to safeguard the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macao.
Maintain economic security. Economic security is the foundation of national security. Safeguarding national security is fundamentally for the purpose of developing the economy and better satisfying the people's needs for a better life. The state formulates and implements a security strategy, and the country's political, military, and even environmental policies are to a large extent centered on economic development. Without economic security, there can be no cultural, educational, social and other areas of security. It is necessary to unswervingly adhere to the basic economic system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, constantly improve the socialist market economic system, and build a modern economic system. We should do a good job in preventing and defusing financial risks, and resolutely adhere to the bottom line of preventing systemic financial risks. The development of the real economy is the top priority, and the problem of core technology being controlled by others should be effectively solved, and the ability to ensure resource security should be enhanced.
Maintain social security. Social security has the closest relationship with the vital interests of the masses of the people, and is a barometer of the people's sense of security and a bellwether of social stability. With economic development and social progress, the people have higher expectations for a better life and higher standards for social security. The people are not only concerned about personal safety, but also about whether they can eat at ease, live safely, and travel safely; Pay attention not only to the effectiveness of fighting crime and maintaining stability, but also to the level of social governance and public services; We should not only pay attention to whether our own legitimate rights and interests can be effectively protected, but also pay attention to whether law enforcement and justice are strict and fair, and whether social fairness and justice can shine like sunshine on everyone. It is necessary to vigorously promote the construction of a safe China, improve the three-dimensional social security prevention and control system, improve the overall level of social governance, and pay attention to investigating and resolving contradictions and disputes from the source. We must resolutely crack down on terrorism, crack down on all "terrorists" as soon as they show their heads, strike hard and blow at them, deal a devastating blow to violent terrorist forces, resolutely smash down the arrogance of violent terrorists, and resolutely squeeze the space for violent terrorist activities, so that violent terrorists will become "rats crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats them". Strengthen public safety work, properly respond to major natural disasters and emergencies, strengthen the management of production safety in key areas such as transportation, fire protection, and hazardous chemicals, resolutely curb the occurrence of major and extraordinarily serious safety accidents, and ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
Maintain network security. In today's world, emerging technologies represented by the Internet are changing with each passing day, which has a profound impact on the development process of human society. At the same time, cyber security problems also arise together, and infringement of personal privacy, intellectual property rights, and cyber crimes occur from time to time around the world, and cyber surveillance, cyber attacks, and cyber terrorism activities have become global public hazards. Cyber security has become one of the most complex, realistic and severe non-traditional security issues facing China. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that without cybersecurity, there will be no national security, no stable economic and social operation, and it will be difficult to protect the interests of the broad masses of the people. The core technology of the Internet is the most important weapon of the country and our biggest "lifeline", and the core technology being controlled by others is our biggest hidden danger. It is necessary to make up our minds, maintain perseverance, find the right focus, persist in self-reliance and independent innovation, and accelerate breakthroughs in core technologies in the field of information. We can't use aircraft and artillery at home, we also use broadswords and spears, and we must use technology to match technology and manage technology with technology, so as to achieve a magic height of one foot and a height of one foot. It is necessary to strengthen the network security protection of critical information infrastructure, strengthen the construction of network security information coordination mechanisms, means, and platforms, strengthen the construction of network security incident emergency command capacity, formulate network security standards, and continuously enhance network security defense and deterrence capabilities. Strengthen network security early warning and monitoring, ensure the security of big data, and achieve all-weather all-round perception and effective protection. Implement the "Cybersecurity Law of the People's Republic of China", strengthen the governance of cyberspace in accordance with the law, purify the cyber environment, and make cyberspace clear. Earnestly safeguard national sovereignty and security in cyberspace, and jointly build a community with a shared future in cyberspace.
Maintain external security. A peaceful and stable international environment and international order are important guarantees for national security. We should firmly pursue an independent foreign policy of peace, adhere to the path of peaceful development, and work with other countries to promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. Earnestly safeguard the security of China's overseas interests, protect the security and legitimate rights and interests of overseas Chinese citizens, organizations and institutions, continuously improve the capacity and level of support, and strive to form a strong security system for overseas interests. China has strengthened international cooperation in the field of security, resolutely supported the international fight against terrorism, firmly supported and actively participated in UN peacekeeping operations, guided the international community to jointly safeguard international security, and continuously contributed wisdom and strength to global security governance.
