Adhere to the Benign Interaction between High-Quality Development and High-Level Security

韩喜平:坚持高质量发展和高水平安全良性互动

· · History of Marxism · "Red Flag Manuscript" 2024, no. 1 · 14 min read

Security is the prerequisite for development, and development is the guarantee for security. Dialectically grasping the relationship between development and security is of great significance for ensuring the smooth progress of the socialist modernization cause on the basis of统筹推进 high-quality development and high-level security. General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to统筹 handling the two major matters of development and security. At the Central Economic Work Conference held in December 2023, he explicitly identified “must adhere to the benign interaction between high-quality development and high-level security” as a regular understanding for doing economic work well in the New Era. This provides us with a fundamental guideline and action guide for better统筹 development, this “first priority,” and security, this “top priority,” on the new journey, for using development achievements to consolidate the foundation of national security strength, for shaping a security environment conducive to economic and social development, and for continuously writing a new chapter in the “two major miracles” [n1] of rapid economic development and long-term social stability.

安全是发展的前提,发展是安全的保障。辩证把握发展和安全的关系,对于在统筹推进高质量发展和高水平安全的基础上,确保社会主义现代化事业顺利推进具有重大意义。习近平总书记高度重视统筹做好发展和安全两件大事,在2023年12月召开的中央经济工作会议上明确把“必须坚持高质量发展和高水平安全良性互动”作为新时代做好经济工作的规律性认识。这为我们在新征程上更好统筹发展这个“第一要务”与安全这个“头等大事”,运用发展成果夯实国家安全的实力基础,塑造有利于经济社会发展的安全环境,不断续写经济快速发展和社会长期稳定“两大奇迹”新篇章提供了根本遵循和行动指南。

I. Deeply Understand the Great Significance of Adhering to the Benign Interaction between High-Quality Development and High-Level Security

一、深入领会坚持高质量发展和高水平安全良性互动的重大意义

Development and security are the two wings of one body and the twin wheels driving it forward. General

发展和安全是一体之两翼、驱动之双轮。习近平总书记指出:“统筹发展和安全,增强忧患意识,做到居安思危,是我们党治国理政的一个重大原则。”坚持践行高质量发展和高水平安全良性互动,必须深入领会以高质量发展促进高水平安全、以高水平安全保障高质量发展的丰富内涵与重大意义,实现发展和安全的动态平衡、相得益彰。

Persisting in the benign interaction between high-quality development and high-level security is an inherent requirement for comprehensively building a modern socialist country. High-quality development is the primary task of comprehensively building a modern socialist country; comprehensively building a modern socialist country must take persisting in high-quality development as the hard truth of the New Era, fully, accurately, and comprehensively implement the new development philosophy, enhance the resilience and security level of the industrial and supply chains, and promote the economy to achieve effective qualitative improvement and reasonable quantitative growth. High-level security is the fundamental condition for comprehensively building a modern socialist country; it is necessary to fully implement the holistic approach to national security, advance the modernization of the national security system and capacity, safeguard the new pattern of development with a new security architecture, maintain national security and social stability, and defend national security and development interests. To comprehensively build a modern socialist country, it is necessary to persist in the benign interaction between high-quality development and high-level security, both enhancing national security strength through development and, by deeply advancing innovation in the national security system, mechanisms, and means, creating a security environment conducive to economic and social development, so as to achieve a dynamic balance between development and security and ensure the smooth progress of the socialist modernization cause.

坚持高质量发展和高水平安全良性互动,是全面建设社会主义现代化国家的内在要求。高质量发展是全面建设社会主义现代化国家的首要任务,全面建设社会主义现代化国家必须把坚持高质量发展作为新时代的硬道理,完整、准确、全面贯彻新发展理念,提升产业链供应链的韧性和安全水平,推动经济实现质的有效提升和量的合理增长。高水平安全是全面建设社会主义现代化国家的根本条件,必须全面贯彻总体国家安全观,推进国家安全体系和能力现代化,以新安全格局保障新发展格局,维护国家安全和社会稳定,捍卫国家安全和发展利益。全面建设社会主义现代化国家,必须坚持高质量发展和高水平安全良性互动,既要通过发展提升国家安全实力,又要通过深入推进国家安全体制机制和手段创新,营造有利于经济社会发展的安全环境,以实现发展和安全的动态平衡,确保社会主义现代化事业顺利推进。

Persisting in the benign interaction between high-quality development and high-level security is a strategic measure to respond to changes in the current domestic and international development environment. At present, the changes unseen in a century are accelerating, economic globalization is encountering headwinds, major-power competition is intensifying, traditional and non-traditional security risks coexist, uncertain and unstable factors are markedly increasing, and the world has entered a new period of turbulence and transformation. At the same time, the problem of unbalanced and inadequate development in our country remains prominent, long-accumulated structural problems and various risk hazards are constantly exposed, and shortcomings such as the "bottleneck" in key core technologies are becoming more pronounced. The internal and external risk challenges facing our country's development are clearly increasing, and the tasks of safeguarding national sovereignty, security, and development interests have become more arduous and heavy. Faced with the complex and severe new situation and new problems, it is necessary to persist in the benign interaction between high-quality development and high-level security in order to accelerate the filling of shortcomings and weaknesses in the field of security development, accelerate the transformation of development achievements into security capabilities, and better ensure sustained and stable economic development and long-term peace and stability of the country.

坚持高质量发展和高水平安全良性互动,是应对当前国内外发展环境变化的战略举措。当前,世界百年未有之大变局加速演进,经济全球化遭遇逆流,大国博弈日趋激烈,传统安全和非传统安全风险并存,不确定不稳定因素明显增多,世界进入新的动荡变革期。与此同时,我国发展不平衡不充分的问题依然突出,长期积累的结构性问题和各种风险隐患不断暴露,关键核心技术“卡脖子”等短板凸显。我国发展面临的内外部风险挑战明显增多,维护国家主权、安全、发展权益的任务更为艰巨繁重。面对复杂严峻的新形势新问题,必须坚持高质量发展和高水平安全良性互动,才能加快补齐安全发展领域的短板弱项,才能加快将发展成果转化为安全能力,更好保障经济持续平稳发展和国家长治久安。

Persisting in the benign interaction between high-quality development and high-level security is a major theoretical innovation of Xi Jinping's economic thought. Xi Jinping's economic thought, as the latest theoretical achievement of socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics, both adheres to the basic principles of Marxist political economy and makes major theoretical creations based on new development practices. Among them, the important thesis of coordinating the two major tasks of development and security is a further deepening and innovation of the Party's dialectical relationship between development and stability, and the proposal of high-quality development and high-level security is a new theoretical creation of the dynamic balance between development and security at a higher level. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "We must firmly hold the bottom line of safe development. This is an important prerequisite and guarantee for building a new pattern of development, and also an inherent requirement for smoothing the domestic great circulation." As a strong guarantee for building a new pattern of development, persisting in the benign interaction between high-quality development and high-level security requires fully considering the uniqueness of the development environment and security environment, setting the threshold of security more adequately, preparing development measures more abundantly, insisting on placing the foothold of development domestically, so as to build a safety net that ensures the smooth flow of both domestic and international circulations, and support the organic unity of economic benefits and security benefits in achieving high-quality development.

坚持高质量发展和高水平安全良性互动,是习近平经济思想的重大理论创新。习近平经济思想作为中国特色社会主义政治经济学的最新理论成果,既坚持了马克思主义政治经济学的基本原理,又根据新的发展实践进行了重大理论创造。其中,统筹发展与安全两件大事的重要论断是对党关于发展与稳定辩证关系的进一步深化和创新,高质量发展和高水平安全的提出是对发展与安全在更高水平上的动态平衡的理论新创造。习近平总书记指出:“要牢牢守住安全发展这条底线。这是构建新发展格局的重要前提和保障,也是畅通国内大循环的题中应有之义。”作为构建新发展格局的坚强保障,坚持高质量发展和高水平安全良性互动,要充分考虑到发展环境和安全环境的独特性,把安全的阈值确定得更充分一些,把发展的举措准备得更丰富一些,坚持把发展立足点放在国内,以筑牢保障国内国际双循环畅通的安全网,支撑实现高质量发展中经济效益和安全效益的有机统一。

II. Systematically Grasp the Basic Requirements for Persisting in the Benign Interaction between High-Quality Development and High-Level Security

二、系统把握坚持高质量发展和高水平安全良性互动的基本要求

Persisting in the benign interaction between high-quality development and high-level security requires a dynamic balance and mutual reinforcement between development and security. First, it is necessary to clearly understand the interaction between high-quality development and high-level security. The focus is on grasping the unity between development and security, handling the balance of development quality, structure, scale, speed, efficiency, and security, and integrating the overall category and systemic thinking throughout the entire process of promoting high-quality development and ensuring high-level security. Second, it is necessary to effectively promote high-quality development and high-level security to support each other and advance in coordination. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "We must be adept at using development achievements to consolidate the strength foundation of national security, and also adept at shaping a security environment conducive to economic and social development." Solving the various deep-seated contradictions currently facing our country's development ultimately depends on high-quality development; and only by achieving high-level security can a harmonious and stable internal and external environment be created for high-quality development, allowing the broad masses of the people to concentrate their efforts on contributing more wisdom and strength to advancing the country's various construction undertakings forward. Third, it is necessary to actively guide the achievement of a dynamic balance between high-quality development and high-level security. The changes unseen in a century are accelerating, and international and domestic contradictions and risks are intensifying and changing. To consolidate the support and guarantee for the benign interaction between high-quality development and high-level security, it is necessary to understand and examine it with dynamic thinking, strengthen forward-looking analysis and dynamic assessment of the development and security situation, enhance awareness of opportunities and risks, promptly adjust policy directions and focal points, continuously seek the equilibrium point between development and security, and find the greatest common divisor of high-quality development and high-level security in a realistic environment full of variables and challenges.

坚持高质量发展和高水平安全良性互动,发展和安全要动态平衡、相得益彰。一是要清晰认识高质量发展和高水平安全的相互作用。重点是把握好发展和安全之间的统一性,处理好发展质量、结构、规模、速度、效益、安全的平衡性,把总体范畴和系统观念贯穿到推进高质量发展和保障高水平安全的全过程。二是要切实推动高质量发展和高水平安全互为支撑、协同共进。习近平总书记强调:“既要善于运用发展成果夯实国家安全的实力基础,又要善于塑造有利于经济社会发展的安全环境。”破解当前我国在发展中面临的各种深层次矛盾,归根结底要靠高质量发展;而只有实现高水平安全,才能为高质量发展创造和谐稳定的内外部环境,广大人民群众才能集中精力为推进国家各项建设事业向前发展贡献更多智慧和力量。三是要积极引导实现高质量发展和高水平安全的动态平衡。世界百年未有之大变局加速演进,国际国内矛盾和风险加剧变化。夯实高质量发展和高水平安全良性互动的支撑保障,要用动态思维理解和审视,加强对发展和安全形势的前瞻分析和动态评估,增强机遇意识和风险意识,及时调整政策方向和着力点,持续寻求发展与安全的均衡点,在充满变数与挑战的现实环境中,找到高质量发展与高水平安全的最大公约数。

Faced with various foreseeable and unforeseeable risks and challenges, it is necessary both to continuously strengthen the material and technological foundation through high-quality development and enhance the capacity to safeguard national security, and to create a favorable environment for high-quality development through high-level security, thereby increasing the security and stability of development. The wise prevent calamities before they sprout; the intelligent plan for troubles yet to come. [1]1 A classical allusion from the *Book of the Later Han* (《后汉书》), emphasizing foresight and prevention. On the one hand, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is deepening, the balance of international forces is undergoing profound adjustment, and the period of strategic opportunity with much to be accomplished overlaps with the period in which various risks and challenges are concentrated and exposed. This requires us, in the process of coordinating development and security, to identify, warn of, detect, and handle potential risks early, to discern the signs and take precautions, to resolve risks at their source, and to prevent the transmission, accumulation, evolution, and escalation of various risks. On the other hand, we must enhance the capacity to resolve major risks, take high-quality development as the fundamental solution, persist in enhancing development competitiveness through the transformation and upgrading of the development model, and win the initiative in development by improving the quality of development. In this way, we can use the stability and high quality of our own development to meet security challenges in various internal and external environments, and fight a strategic proactive battle to turn danger into safety and crisis into opportunity. We must integrate security development into all areas and the entire process of national development, ensuring that security in important areas such as food security, energy security, financial security, and ecological and environmental security remains as firm as a mountain; and achieving security and controllability in key areas such as important industries, infrastructure, strategic resources, and major science and technology. The benign interaction between high-quality development and high-level security concerns the rise and fall of the nation’s fortunes, the well-being of the people, and the grand plan for development. We must build a pattern for dealing with complex risks, improve the quality of responding to major risks, and make the two miracles of rapid economic development and long-term social stability more sustainable and better guaranteed.

面对各种可以预见和难以预见的风险挑战,既要通过高质量发展不断壮大物质技术基础,增强维护国家安全能力,又要通过高水平安全为高质量发展营造有利环境,增强发展的安全性稳定性。明者防祸于未萌,智者图患于将来。一方面,新一轮科技革命和产业变革正深入发展,国际力量对比面临深刻调整,大有可为的战略机遇期与各种风险挑战的集中显露期处于叠加状态,要求我们能够在统筹发展和安全的过程中对潜在的风险早识别、早预警、早发现、早处置,见微知著、未雨绸缪,化解风险于源头,防止各种风险传导、叠加、演变、升级。另一方面,提高重大风险化解能力,以高质量发展为治本之策,坚持以发展方式的转型升级增强发展竞争力,坚持以发展质量的提升赢得发展主动权,从而以自身发展的稳定性和高质量应对各种内外部环境的安全挑战,打好化险为夷、转危为机的战略主动战。把安全发展贯穿国家发展各领域和全过程,保证粮食安全、能源安全、金融安全、生态环境安全等重要领域安全不动如山;实现重要产业、基础设施、战略资源、重大科技等关键领域安全可控。高质量发展和高水平安全良性互动关乎国运兴衰、人民福祉、发展大计,要构建复杂风险应对格局,提高重大风险应对质量,使经济快速发展和社会长期稳定两大奇迹更可持续、更有保障。

On the new journey, [2]2 “New journey” refers to the journey of building a modern socialist country in all respects, a phrase commonly used in official discourse since the 20th National Congress of the CPC. we must implement the holistic approach to national security, continuously enhance our country’s viability, competitiveness, development capacity, and sustainability, and ensure the smooth progress of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Looking at history, harmony, stability, peace, and tranquility are the basic guarantees for the Chinese nation to settle down and get on with its pursuits, and also the basic prerequisites for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. At present, our country is experiencing a great leap from “getting rich” to “becoming strong.” [3]3 “Getting rich” (富起来) and “becoming strong” (强起来) are stages in the official narrative of the Chinese nation’s rejuvenation, following “standing up” (站起来) under Mao Zedong. However, from the perspective of the external environment, world changes and turbulence are rising one after another, the global governance system is being impacted, major-country relations are undergoing profound adjustment, and major contradictions such as the energy crisis and food crisis place the world at a historical crossroads; from the perspective of the internal environment, during the critical period of reform, there are also many “hidden reefs” and “dangerous shoals” in breaking through entrenched interests and removing institutional obstacles. When the boat reaches mid-stream, the waves are more turbulent; when a person reaches halfway up the mountain, the slope is steeper. If high-level security cannot be guaranteed, the path to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will become more tortuous and arduous. To implement the holistic approach to national security, we must accurately grasp the “five elements” and handle the “five pairs of relationships,” [4]4 The “five elements” of the holistic approach to national security refer to the five key components: people’s security, political security, economic security, military security, and cultural security. The “five pairs of relationships” refer to the relationships between development and security, external and internal security, homeland and people’s security, traditional and non-traditional security, and one’s own security and common security. and on the basis of upholding and strengthening the Party’s overall leadership, continuously consolidate the solid material foundation, rich human resources, and strong scientific and technological strength accumulated over a long period in our country. We must continuously tap the potential and dividends of the super-large market and the complete industrial and supply chains, so as to consolidate the fundamentals of our country’s long-term positive economic outlook to support the construction of a new pattern of benign interaction between high-quality development and high-level security. This not only conforms to the broadest aspirations of the people but also concerns the great cause of making the country strong and rejuvenating the nation, and moreover escorts the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

新征程上,必须贯彻总体国家安全观,不断增强我国的生存力、竞争力、发展力、持续力,确保中华民族伟大复兴进程顺利推进。纵观历史,和谐稳定与和平安宁是中华民族安身立命的基本保障,也是中华民族伟大复兴的基本前提。当前,我国正经历着从“富起来”向“强起来”的伟大飞跃挺进。然而,从外部环境看,世界变革动荡此起彼伏,全球治理体系受到冲击、大国关系深刻调整、能源危机和粮食危机等重大矛盾置世界于历史的十字路口;从内部环境看,在改革攻坚期突破利益固化、清除体制性障碍等重大问题上,也存在着诸多“暗礁”和“险滩”。船到中流浪更急、人到半山路更陡,如果高水平安全无法保障,中华民族伟大复兴的道路就会更加曲折和艰辛。贯彻落实总体国家安全观,必须准确把握“五个要素”处理“五对关系”,在坚持和加强党的全面领导的基础上,不断夯实长期以来我国积累的雄厚物质基础、丰富人力资源、强大科技实力力,持续挖掘超大规模市场和完整产业链供应链等潜能红利,以巩固我国经济长期向好的基本面支撑构建高质量发展和高水平安全良性互动的新格局,既符合人民群众最广泛的愿望,又事关强国兴邦之大业,更为中华民族伟大复兴保驾护航。

III. Practical Paths to Promote the Benign Interaction between High-Quality Development and High-Level Security

三、推动实现高质量发展和高水平安全良性互动的实践路径

To promote the benign interaction between high-quality development and high-level security, the key is to handle the two major matters of development and security, persist in grasping both development and security with both hands, both firmly, shape a new security pattern with high-quality development, and promote high-quality development with high-level security.

推动实现高质量发展和高水平安全良性互动,关键是处理好发展与安全两件大事,坚持发展与安全两手都要抓、两手都要硬,以高质量发展塑造新安全格局,以高水平安全促进高质量发展。

To achieve high-quality development, we must accelerate the construction of a new development pattern. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “Accelerating the construction of a new development pattern means enhancing our viability, competitiveness, development capacity, and sustainability amidst all kinds of foreseeable and unforeseeable storms and tempests, ensuring that the process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is not delayed or even interrupted.” [5]5 Quotation from Xi Jinping’s speech on the new development pattern, emphasizing resilience against external shocks. Constructing a new development pattern is General Secretary Xi Jinping’s forward-looking strategic layout and preemptive move to coordinate both domestic and international situations, coordinate high-quality development and high-level security, and grasp the initiative in future development. It is a systematic and deep-level transformation concerning the overall situation, and a strategic plan based on the present and looking toward the long term. Accelerating the construction of a new development pattern is a strategic choice to keep pace with the times to enhance the level of our country’s economic development and shape new advantages in our country’s international economic cooperation and competition. At the same time, it is also an inevitable choice, based on a profound understanding of the new opportunities and new challenges facing our country’s development, to promote a new security pattern with a new development pattern, and to promote the benign interaction between high-quality development and high-level security. We must adhere to the strategic basis of expanding domestic demand, fully utilize the advantages of our country’s super-large market, accelerate the cultivation of a complete domestic demand system, so that production, distribution, circulation, and consumption rely more on the domestic market, forming a virtuous cycle of the national economy. We must continuously improve the effective institutional arrangements for expanding domestic demand, make substantial efforts to enhance the adaptability of the supply system to domestic demand, continuously improve the quality of the supply system, and strive to form a higher-level dynamic balance where demand drives supply and supply creates demand. We must adhere to making scientific and technological self-reliance and self-strengthening a strategic support for national development, strengthen the national strategic scientific and technological forces, fully leverage the powerful role of the state as the organizer of major scientific and technological innovation and the significant advantage of the socialist system in concentrating resources to accomplish major undertakings, firmly grasp the initiative in innovation and development, face the world’s scientific and technological frontiers, face the main economic battlefield, face the major national needs, and face the people’s life and health. Adhering to a strategic demand orientation, we must focus on key core technologies and weak links in components, fight the tough battle of key core technologies, coordinate the promotion of making up for shortcomings and forging longboards, accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into actual productive forces, ensure the independent controllability and security reliability of the industrial system, and strive to solve major problems restricting national development and security. We must create new advantages in international cooperation and competition through high-level opening up, construct a more open dual circulation pattern of domestic and international markets, and strive to promote the coordinated development of domestic demand and foreign demand, imports and exports, and the introduction of foreign capital and outbound investment. We must actively participate in the reform of the global economic governance system, continuously deepen the opening up of factor flows such as goods, services, capital, and talent, steadily expand institutional opening up in rules, regulations, management, and standards, and build a new system for a higher-level open economy. We must continuously consolidate and enhance the international leading position of advantageous industries, attract global factor resources through the diversification of industrial and supply chains in the reform of high-standard global governance systems, and enhance our country’s competitiveness and influence in the world market and international cooperation.

实现高质量发展,要加快构建新发展格局。习近平总书记指出:“加快构建新发展格局,就是要在各种可以预见和难以预见的狂风暴雨、惊涛骇浪中,增强我们的生存力、竞争力、发展力、持续力,确保中华民族伟大复兴进程不被迟滞甚至中断。”构建新发展格局是习近平总书记统筹国内国际两个大局、统筹高质量发展和高水平安全,掌握未来发展主动权的前瞻性战略布局和先手棋,是事关全局的系统性、深层次变革,是立足当前、着眼长远的战略谋划。加快构建新发展格局是与时俱进提升我国经济发展水平、塑造我国国际经济合作和竞争新优势的战略抉择,同时也是基于我国发展面临新机遇新挑战的深刻认识,以新发展格局促进新安全格局,推动实现高质量发展和高水平安全良性互动的必然选择。要坚持扩大内需战略基点,充分用好我国超大规模市场优势,加快培育完整内需体系,使生产、分配、流通、消费更多依托国内市场,形成国民经济良性循环。持续完善扩大内需有效制度安排,在提升供给体系对国内需求的适配性等方面切实发力,不断提升供给体系质量,着力形成需求牵引供给、供给创造需求的更高水平动态平衡。要坚持把科技自立自强作为国家发展的战略支撑,强化国家战略科技力量,充分发挥国家作为重大科技创新组织者的强大作用和社会主义制度集中力量办大事的显著优势,紧紧抓住创新发展主动权,面向世界科技前沿、面向经济主战场、面向国家重大需求、面向人民生命健康,坚持战略性需求导向,聚焦关键核心技术和零部件薄弱环节,打好关键核心技术攻坚战,统筹推进补齐短板和锻造长板,加速科技成果向现实生产力转化,保证产业体系自主可控和安全可靠,着力解决制约国家发展和安全的重大难题。要以高水平对外开放打造国际合作和竞争新优势,构建更加开放的国内国际双循环格局,着力促进内需和外需、进口和出口、引进外资和对外投资协调发展。积极参与全球经济治理体系改革,不断深化商品、服务、资金、人才等要素流动型开放,稳步拓展规则、规制、管理、标准等制度型开放,建设更高水平开放型经济新体制。持续巩固提升优势产业的国际领先地位,在高标准的全球治理体系改革中以产业链供应链多元化吸引全球要素资源,增强我国在世界市场和国际合作中的竞争力和影响力。

To achieve high-level security, efforts must be concentrated on strengthening the national security system. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “We must implement a holistic approach to national security, adhere to bottom-line thinking, coordinate development and security as a whole, keep a close watch on the fields of science and technology, industry, and finance, as well as major infrastructure, that bear on national and regional security, strengthen risk prevention and control systems and capacity building, and consolidate the foundation for secure development.” [6]6 Xi Jinping, “Speech at the Symposium on Further Promoting the Rise of the Central Region” (May 27, 2024), *People's Daily*, May 28, 2024. The construction of the national security system is an inherent requirement, in the context of coordinating the “two overall situations” [7]7 The “two overall situations” (两个大局) refers to the overall situation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the overall situation of changes unseen in a century. in the New Era, for preventing and defusing risks in key areas and for promoting the benign interaction between high-quality development and high-level security. It is necessary to build a solid security shield for national development, strengthen early warning, prevention and control mechanisms and capacity building for economic security risks, make every effort to ensure the security bottom line in fields such as grain, energy, finance, and ecology, achieve security and controllability in key areas such as important industries, infrastructure, and strategic resources, advance steadily while ensuring stability, promote stability through progress, establish the new before abolishing the old, and continuously enhance economic resilience. Strengthen the security guarantee of energy and resources, deepen the energy revolution, improve the system for energy production, supply, storage, and marketing, while promoting the efficient development and utilization of traditional energy and effectively guaranteeing core demand, use the construction of a new energy system to optimize the traditional energy network and improve the energy risk emergency management and control system, strengthen international energy cooperation in all aspects, further reinforce strategic energy reserves, and continuously enhance the capacity for stable and sustained energy supply. Safeguard national financial security, ensure that systemic financial risks do not occur, improve the financial security defense line and risk emergency response mechanism, perfect the system for financial risk prevention, early warning, disposal, and accountability, strengthen risk identification, assessment, early warning, and effective prevention and control of debt, and prudently resolve risks and hidden dangers in areas such as real estate, finance, and local government debt. Shoulder the heavy responsibility of grain security, adhere to the implementation of a national grain security strategy that is self-reliant, based on domestic production, ensures production capacity, involves moderate imports, and is supported by science and technology, use the advancement of the strategy of “storing grain in the land and storing grain in technology” [8]8 “Storing grain in the land and storing grain in technology” (藏粮于地、藏粮于技) is a strategic guideline for ensuring national grain security by protecting arable land quality and advancing agricultural science and technology. to consolidate the foundation of grain security in all aspects, accelerate the construction of high-standard farmland, resolutely curb the “non-agricultural” use of arable land, effectively prevent “non-grain” use, strictly guard the red line for arable land and the control line for permanent basic farmland, and stabilize the “ballast stone” of grain security. [9]9 “Ballast stone” (压舱石) is a metaphor for a stabilizing factor or foundation, originally referring to heavy material placed in a ship's hold to improve stability. Ensure ecological and environmental security, implement and refine the ecological protection red line system, incorporate ecological security risks into normalized and systematic management, construct a whole-process, multi-level ecological and environmental risk prevention mechanism, improve the ecological security assessment system and incentive mechanisms, strengthen the responsibility of local governments, establish a broad, long-term, and holistic perspective in ecological security protection, and continuously transform ecological advantages into development advantages. Accelerate the modernization of the national security system and capacity, highlight a clear orientation toward practical application and actual combat, place greater emphasis on coordination and efficiency, rule-of-law thinking, technological empowerment, and grassroots foundations, promote the organic connection and integrated aggregation of various aspects of construction, gather strong forces to safeguard national security, and consolidate the social foundation of national security.

实现高水平安全,要着力加强国家安全体系建设。习近平总书记指出:“要贯彻总体国家安全观,坚持底线思维,统筹好发展和安全,盯住关系国家和区域安全的科技、产业、金融等领域和重大基础设施,加强风险防控体系和能力建设,夯实安全发展的基础。”国家安全体系建设是在新时代统筹“两个大局”背景下防范化解重点领域风险、推动实现高质量发展和高水平安全良性互动的内在要求。要筑牢国家发展安全屏障,强化经济安全风险预警、防控机制和能力建设,着力保障粮食、能源、金融、生态等领域安全底线,实现重要产业、基础设施、战略资源等关键领域安全可控,稳中求进、以进促稳、先立后破,不断提高经济韧性。加强能源资源安全保障,深入推进能源革命,完善能源产供储销体系,在推进传统能源高效开发利用与有效保障核心需求的同时,以新型能源体系建设推动传统能源网络优化与能源风险应急管控体系健全,全方位加强能源国际合作,进一步强化能源战略储备,不断提升能源持续稳定供应能力。维护国家金融安全,确保不发生系统性金融风险,完善金融安全防线和风险应急处置机制,健全金融风险预防、预警、处置、问责制度体系,加强对债务的风险识别、评估预警和有效防控,稳妥化解房地产、金融、地方债务等领域风险隐患。扛稳粮食安全重任,坚持实施以我为主、立足国内、确保产能、适度进口、科技支撑的国家粮食安全战略,以“藏粮于地、藏粮于技”战略的推进全方位夯实粮食安全根基,加快高标准农田建设,坚决遏制耕地“非农化”,有效防止“非粮化”,严守耕地红线和永久基本农田控制线,稳固粮食安全“压舱石”。确保生态环境安全,压实落细生态保护红线制度,将生态安全风险纳入常态化、系统化管理,构建全过程、多层级的生态环境风险防范机制,健全生态安全评估体系和激励机制,强化地方政府责任担当,在生态安全保护中树立大局观、长远观、整体观,持续将生态优势转化为发展优势。加快推进国家安全体系和能力现代化,突出实战实用鲜明导向,更加注重协同高效、法治思维、科技赋能、基层基础,推动各方面建设有机衔接、联动集成,汇聚起维护国家安全的强大力量,夯实国家安全的社会基础。
