The State Council Information Office of China published a white paper on Monday titled "China's National Security in the New Era," People's Daily reported, citing Xinhua.
The move aims to provide a comprehensive explanation of China's innovative concepts, practices and achievements in national security, and promote the international community's understanding of China's national security.
In addition to the preface and conclusion, the document consists of six chapters and contains the following provisions: "China brings certainty and stability to a changing and disorderly world," "the comprehensive concept of national security charts the direction for safeguarding national security in the new era," "providing reliable support for the sustainable and long-term advancement of China's modernization," "strengthening security in the process of development and ensuring development under security," "implementing the Global Security Initiative and promoting the common security of the world," and "promoting the modernization of the national security system and capacity by deepening reform."
The White Paper emphasizes that China is unified in planning the overall strategy for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the face of unprecedented changes in a century, and notes that the country maintains overall stability by making progress while maintaining stability. China cooperates with countries in the Asia-Pacific region to maintain regional peace and development. This brings lasting stability to a volatile and unstable world.
According to the white paper, the comprehensive concept of national security is the first major strategic idea adopted as the guiding principle of national security efforts since the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is an important component of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and represents a major theoretical contribution of modern China to the world community.
In the new era, China's national security adheres to the national security path with Chinese characteristics. It is a path that takes ensuring the people's security as the primary goal, maintaining political security as the foundation, and protecting national interests as the norm. It also serves and promotes high-quality development, dynamically adjusts to economic and social development, supports the further expansion of high-level opening-up, and operates within the framework of the law.
China's national security is firmly fulfilling the fundamental responsibilities entrusted to it by the CPC and the people, upholding the CPC's position as the ruling party and the socialist system, enhancing the people's sense of fulfillment, happiness and security, ensuring high-quality development, protecting the country's territorial integrity, maritime rights and interests, and ensuring the safety and security of emerging industries, so as to build a solid security barrier for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
China attaches great importance to the coordination of development and security, and strives to achieve positive synergies between high-quality development and high-level security, promoting mutual strengthening and coordinated strengthening of the level of opening up to the outside world, security supervision and control capabilities, and risk prevention capabilities.
China's national security adheres to reform and innovation as the driving force and adopts a systemic and institutional approach to improve an effective and coordinated national security system and build practical national security capacity, the white paper said.
It notes that the Global Security Initiative highlights the concept of creating a community of shared destiny for humanity in the security sphere and brings a global perspective to a holistic approach to national security.
China safeguards its own security and that of others, advocates strengthening the global security governance system, implements the global governance concept of joint consultation, joint construction and common benefit, upholds genuine multilateralism and promotes fair and rational transformation of the global security governance system, the white paper said.
