The Guangming Daily (May 19) stated that "National security is the basic premise for the
survival and development of a country, and maintaining national security is the fundamental
interest of the people of all ethnic groups in the country". Recalling General Secretary Xi
Jinping's visit to Hainan, it said he emphasized that "it is necessary to insist on maintaining
national security unswervingly, strengthen the identification and prevention of major risks,
coordinate reform, development and stability, and insist on establishing first and then breaking,
and not breaking without establishing. This provides a fundamental basis for us to maintain
strategic determination, strategic confidence, and strategic patience on the new journey, be
prepared to deal with any form of conflict, risk, and challenge, and continue to create a new
situation in our national security work". It asserted that "the great rejuvenation of the Chinese
nation cannot be achieved easily and smoothly. The more we develop and grow, the greater the
resistance and pressure we will encounter, and the more external risks we will face. This is an
unavoidable challenge in the process of China's development from big to strong, and an
unavoidable threshold for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Our party was
6
born amid internal and external troubles, grew up in tribulations and setbacks, and grew
stronger in overcoming risks and challenges. It has always had a strong sense of urgency and
risk. In the face of the complex and ever-changing international situation and the arduous and
arduous tasks of domestic reform, development and stability, General Secretary Xi Jinping has
repeatedly emphasized the need to be prepared for danger in times of peace and enhance the
awareness of urgency, risk, and responsibility. The current development situation is generally
good, but we must be soberly aware that the current and future period is a period in which all
kinds of contradictions and risks are prone to occur in China, and the time, space, and internal
and external factors affecting national security are broader and more complex than at any time
in history". Presently, it said, China "is facing the dual pressure of safeguarding national
sovereignty, security and development interests externally and maintaining political security
and social stability internally, and various predictable and unforeseeable risk factors have
increased significantly. The major risks we face include domestic economic, political,
ideological, social risks and risks from nature, as well as international economic, political, and
military risks. If we can't see the micro-knowledge in time and prevent the micro-prevention,
these major risks are often superimposed on each other, forming resonance, and producing a
chain reaction, which will bring huge impact and destructive force to national security and
social stability. It is necessary to comprehensively identify various major security risks, and
refine the background, triggering factors, specific characteristics, and possible damage of each
type of risk" It stressed the need of "fully applying big data and artificial intelligence in risk
analysis and prediction research". It quoted Xi Jinping saying, "Be prepared for the future and
serve the country." In the face of various risks and challenges on the way forward, we must
always maintain a high degree of vigilance. We must be highly vigilant against both "black
swan" events and "grey rhino" events; To be the first to take risks, we must also have great
strategies to deal with and resolve risks and challenges; we must not only fight a prepared battle
to prevent and resist risks, but also fight a strategic initiative to turn danger into danger and
turn crisis into opportunity. It is necessary to implement the overall national security concept,
scientifically handle major risks and general risks, global risks and local risks, macro risks and
micro risks, urgent risks and long-term risks, new risks and conventional risks, single risks and
complex risks, surface risks and deep risks , the relationship between primary risk and
secondary risk, starting from the system, mechanism, method, means, identification, judgment,
disposal, tracking, feedback, etc., to improve all aspects of the risk prevention system, and
realize the digitalization of risk prevention and disposal".
