April 15, 2022 is the seventh national security education day for all. This year, the covid-19 pneumonia epidemic continues to spread worldwide. There are also civil aviation accidents and other emergencies in the domestic economic and social operation. National security is an important cornerstone of national security. To strengthen national security education for all, we must combine the new situation faced by national security, coordinate traditional security and non-traditional security, and improve the awareness and ability of the whole society to prevent and respond to risks. —— editor We will take the initiative to guard against major security risks ■ Guan Kui In the practice of safeguarding national security, our Party attaches great importance to preventing and resolving all kinds of major risks and challenges. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, President Xi has made a series of important expositions from the overall and strategic perspective, deeply analyzed the new situation and challenges faced by the prevention and control of major risks, clarified the key areas of possible risk challenges, stressed the need to carry out a great struggle with many new historical characteristics, and made a series of decisions and arrangements around taking the initiative to prevent and respond to various risks and challenges. It is of great theoretical and practical significance to deeply study and understand President Xi's series of important expositions and learn and apply the practical experience of preventing and resolving major risks since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Deeply grasp the new characteristics of the occurrence and evolution of safety risks At present, the great changes in the world that have not been seen in a century have accelerated the evolution. China is in a critical period of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. New changes have taken place in the main social contradictions in China, and the connotation and extension of the core interests of the state and the fundamental interests of the people have been expanded. In this context, the national security situation, especially major risks and threats, presents many new characteristics. In terms of frequency, safety risks are more prone to occur. President Xi pointed out in the "note on the proposal of the CPC Central Committee on formulating the 14th five year plan for national economic and social development and the long-term objectives for 2005": "at present and in the future, China is prone to various contradictions and risks, and various predictable and unpredictable risk factors have increased significantly." From the outside, the world has entered a period of turbulence and change, the theme of peace and development is facing severe challenges, the world is neither peaceful nor tranquil, the adjustment of international order is at a key crossroads, and the international game is more intense under the background of profound changes in the international pattern, which will greatly increase the external risks faced by China's security. The overall environment for our development remains stable, while facing unprecedented contradictions, risks and games. Domestically, China's modernization drive has made historic achievements, fundamentally ensuring national security and people's happiness, but the new stage of development may face new risks and problems. New problems in economic and social development and new contradictions brought about by profound social changes may affect national security and social stability. "There are no fewer problems after development than when it is not developed". It should also be noted that if the level of social governance does not adapt to the process of modernization, people's ideas and the construction of the rule of law do not adapt to the changes of social development, and the party's construction, especially the ability and quality of cadres, do not adapt to the development of the Party's cause, the possibility of security risks in the development process will be greatly increased. In terms of the scope of occurrence, the distribution of security risks is more extensive. Unlike the traditional society where security risks are more concentrated in the fields of territorial security, political security and natural disasters, the complexity of modern economy and society has greatly increased, the field of social life has greatly expanded, the mutation of development environment has increased, and the task of reform, development and stability has become increasingly heavy. Accordingly, the scope and degree of security risks have also greatly increased. There are both traditional and non-traditional security risks and challenges under the new situation; Both from human social activities and from nature; It is caused by both objective and subjective factors; Both external conduction and endogenous. President Xi stressed: "at present and in the future, China's development has entered a period of continuous accumulation or even concentrated exposure of various risks and challenges, and there will be no fewer major struggles. There are economic, political, cultural, social and ecological civilization construction, national defense and military construction, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan work, diplomatic work, Party building and other aspects, and they are becoming more and more complex." The key areas where security risks may occur are indicated here. From the impact of various risk factors on national security, the internal and external linkage and cumulative superposition effect of security risks are more prominent. With the development of economic globalization, the progress of transportation and communication technology and the profound changes in the pattern of modern media, modern society is becoming more and more open, the interrelationship and influence of things are becoming closer, and the "Butterfly Effect" will be more obvious. Safeguarding national security and social stability has distinct political attributes. The struggle around security issues is the most intense field of international political struggle. Creating various security threats is often the direct means and manifestation of infiltration and destruction by hostile forces. Therefore, once there is a security risk, it will often be deliberately used by hostile forces to maximize its negative impact, and then trigger a chain reaction. From the perspective of social reality, various security risks often do not appear in isolation, and are likely to interweave with each other and form a risk complex. President Xi profoundly pointed out: "All kinds of contradiction risk challenges and all kinds of contradiction risk challenges are intertwined and interact with each other. If we fail to prevent and respond effectively, it will be transmitted, superimposed, evolved and upgraded, so that small contradiction risk challenges will develop into large contradiction risk challenges, local contradiction risk challenges will develop into systematic contradiction risk challenges, international contradiction risk challenges will evolve into domestic contradiction risk challenges, economic, social, cultural The contradiction risk challenge in the ecological field will be transformed into political contradiction risk challenge, which will eventually endanger the ruling position of the party and national security. " This linkage superposition effect is easy to turn the general security risk into a serious security threat, and make the local security risk develop into an uncontrollable situation. To grasp and apply the characteristics and laws well is to grasp the strategic initiative. Practice has repeatedly proved that on the road ahead, there are risks and challenges, difficulties and twists, which are not terrible. As long as we can always bear hardships and respond correctly, we can turn danger into opportunity and remain invincible. Adhere to the guidance of the overall national security concept To deal with security risk challenges, only under the guidance of scientific methodology can we achieve "not afraid of floating clouds to cover our eyes" and "flying through chaotic clouds still calmly". Since the 18th CPC National Congress, President Xi Jinping has stood at a new historical starting point, focused on creating a good security environment for realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and put forward the important strategic idea of the overall national security concept in view of the new situation and challenges facing national security. The overall national security concept is not only the general program of the national security strategy in the new era, but also the theoretical guidance and scientific methodology for safeguarding national security. In order to prevent and control security risks and challenges, only under the guidance of the overall national security concept can we achieve overall control and response. Adhere to security for the people and security depends on the people. Implement the overall concept of national security, emphasize taking people's security as the purpose, and adhere to the organic unity of political security, people's security and national interests. This is the embodiment of our party's adherence to governing for the people and the people's dominant position in the field of security. People's security is the cornerstone of national security. We should earnestly safeguard the safety rights and interests of the broad masses of the people, make great efforts to solve the problems of the vital interests of the people, comprehensively improve the ability to ensure public security, and constantly improve the people's sense of gain, happiness and security. At the same time, the people are the fundamental force for safeguarding national security. We should give full play to the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the broad masses of the people in preventing and controlling security risks and building a safe China, constantly enhance the national security awareness of all the people, and form an overall joint force to promote national security. Safeguarding national security and social stability is not only the responsibility of Party committees and governments at all levels, but also the work of functional departments. It is also necessary to strengthen relying on the people's thinking, adhere to the combination of specialized work and the mass line, fight a people's war to prevent and resolve major risks, and earnestly build a solid national security barrier. Strengthen political awareness and consider the prevention and control of security risks in the overall development of the cause of the party and the state. To analyze and judge the security situation, deal with and deal with security risks, we should firmly establish political awareness and overall situation awareness, and focus on "preventing and controlling the overall risks that may delay or interrupt the great rejuvenation process of the Chinese nation". On the one hand, there should be no ambiguity on major issues of right and wrong. We should be highly vigilant against risks and challenges that may endanger people's living and working in peace and contentment, social stability and order, and the long-term stability of the country. "All kinds of risks and challenges that endanger the leadership of the Communist Party of China and China's socialist system, all kinds of risks and challenges that endanger China's sovereignty, security and development interests, all kinds of risks and challenges that endanger China's core interests and major principles, all kinds of risks and challenges that endanger the fundamental interests of our people, and all kinds of risks and challenges that endanger China's realization of the two centenary goals and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation , as long as we come, we must fight resolutely, unswervingly and unrelentingly until we win. " On the other hand, we should pay attention to grasp the general trend and distinguish the mainstream and tributaries. We always firmly believe in the strong leadership of our party, the bright prospects of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and the strong cohesion of the people of the whole country. We should not be slow and indifferent to the security risks that arise from time to time, nor should we be panic stricken and panic stricken; To deal with various practical and potential security risks, we should focus on maintaining an important strategic opportunity period for national development and create a security situation conducive to the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Adhere to systematic thinking and build a big security pattern. To prevent and resolve major risks and prevent the one-sided thinking of emphasizing safety on safety, we must make overall planning and comprehensive measures. First, make a good overall plan for security and development. On the basis of economic security, we must enhance national security strength through development, enhance social cohesion and centripetal force, and expand the strategic swing space to deal with risks and challenges. We should put security requirements into all aspects and the whole process of work, plan and deploy together with economic and social development, realize the benign interaction between high-quality development and high-level security, and strive to achieve the dynamic balance between development and security. Second, comprehensively promote security in all fields. Implementing the overall concept of national security requires building a national security system integrating political security, homeland security, military security, economic security, cultural security, social security, scientific and technological security, network security, ecological security, resource security, nuclear security and overseas interest security. To prevent and control major risks, we also need to pay attention to various security fields to prevent the transmission and superposition of security risks to the greatest extent. Third, coordinate domestic and international security. At the national level, we should strengthen international security cooperation, improve the global security governance system, and promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind with universal security. At the level of risk prevention and control, we should pay close attention to the changes of the international situation and its impact on China's security situation, and actively prevent it
