Working for the overall situation: Building a peaceful China at a higher level


It is worth noting that the discussion on the "social governance community" in the report of the Party's 20th National Congress has been further improved, that is, it emphasizes adhering to the overall national security concept as a guide,

incorporating the construction of the social governance community into the development framework of "promoting the modernization of the national security system and capacity", and achieving the unity of maintaining national security and social stability.

Further understanding and interpreting the discussion of the social governance community in the report of the 20th National Congress of the Party, and realizing the ideological leap from "social construction" to "national security",

profoundly shows that under the guidance of the overall national security concept, the construction of social governance community in the new era will surely show new characteristics.

Working for the overall situation: Building a peaceful China at a higher level

The report of the 20th National Congress of the CPC clearly put forward the new direction of national security governance of "building a safer China at a higher level and ensuring a new development pattern with a new security pattern".

Under the guidance of the overall national security concept, the definition of "higher level" requires to grasp the connotation of "safe China" from a comprehensive and holistic perspective. In terms of comprehensiveness,

"Safe China" involves a wide range of fields and elements, which is the overall security layout of politics, economy, military, culture and society. On the whole, it emphasizes the close connection and mutual influence between security issues in various fields.

A security problem in one area can trigger a chain reaction that leads to security problems in multiple areas. This shows that the construction of a social governance community must improve its position in ideological understanding,

skip the single-dimensional logic of maintaining social security, embed it in the national security system for overall grasp, and realize the strategic and overall coordination of national security issues.

To build a community of social governance from the perspective of overall national security, first, we should comprehensively grasp the background, connotation and significance of building a safer China at a higher level.

On the basis of following the basic requirements of safeguarding national security in the new era, we should change the concept of governance, improve the system and mechanism, improve the effectiveness of governance,

and move from micro-innovation to macro-deployment. Second, we need to make plans based on the historical process of modernizing the country's governance system and governance capacity. By upholding the Party's overall leadership,

upholding the people's principal position, and upholding integrity and innovation, we need to improve the social governance system featuring joint contribution, joint governance and shared benefits,

translate institutional advantages into governance effectiveness, and provide a fundamental guarantee for safeguarding national security. Third, we need to balance the relationship between social security and security in other areas,

take maintaining social stability as an important guarantee for national security, and the entry point for safeguarding the fundamental interests of the people and improving people's well-being, and build a peaceful China at a higher,

broader and stronger level. Fourth, we need to strengthen governance in key social security areas, carry out special rectification of public safety, social security, public health safety, food and drug safety, and production safety, and comprehensively improve the overall level of prevention and control in society.

Contingency Bureau: cope with the great changes not seen in a century

The General Secretary pointed out that "at present, the connotation and extension of China's national security are richer than any time in history, the field of time and space is broader than any time in history,

and internal and external factors are more complex than any time in history." The world today is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century. Profound changes have taken place in the principal contradiction facing Chinese society.

The gap between the rich and the poor, equality in education, difficulties in employment and medical care, environmental pollution and social security have become prominent and comprehensive problems that need to be solved urgently in China's modernization drive.

These problems "leverage structures with complex systems, promote collisions with diverse elements, intensify contradictions with disorderly flows, and release conflicts with unstable structures", push us to continue thinking about feasible solutions for social governance innovation.

To achieve good governance, we have sought both government and market action. Time and again, it has been proven that no actor, whether "public" or "private," is capable of solving complex problems and dominating a particular governance model on its own.
