Logic, realistic logic, has great practical significance and far-reaching historical significance.

On the new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way and marching toward the second centenary goal, we must insist on coordinating the two major issues of development and security, work hard and move forward courageously, and promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization. , to win a new victory for socialism with Chinese characteristics.

  In mid-July, the semi-annual "transcript" of China's economy in 2022 was announced.

In the first half of the year, the GDP grew by 2.5% year-on-year, and in the second quarter, the economy withstood the downward pressure and achieved positive growth.

At the same time, China is the country with the lowest COVID-19 incidence and the lowest death toll among the world’s major powers.

  It's easy but hard.

  Since the beginning of this year, the epidemic has been delayed repeatedly, the international environment is complex and severe, and the domestic reform, development and stability tasks have become more arduous and arduous.

The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core leads hundreds of millions of people to work together, adhere to the principle of stability, seek progress while maintaining stability, and efficiently coordinate the work of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development. Through unremitting efforts, epidemic prevention and control have achieved positive results. New achievements have been made in development, and historical initiatives have been won in high-quality development.

The hard-won solid achievements fully prove the scientificity and effectiveness of the major decision and deployment of the CPC Central Committee "the epidemic must be prevented, the economy must be stabilized, and development must be safe", and it has written a vivid practical note for overall development and security. .

  "Be prepared for fear, and the way of the country is always the way."

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out profoundly that our country is in a period of great historical opportunities, and the development situation is generally good, but the road ahead cannot be smooth sailing. In times of peace, we must not make strategic and subversive mistakes.

The world today is going through great changes unseen in a century, and our country is in a critical period of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Coordinate development and security, focus on realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, better grasp historical opportunities and respond to risks and challenges in the changing development environment, firmly grasp the destiny of China's development and progress, and ensure national rejuvenation. The process has not been delayed or even interrupted, and it has moved forward bravely towards the great goals established by our party.

  Climb high and know far, and the world is in the heart.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in the face of risks and challenges that are rare in the world and in history, General Secretary Xi Jinping has insight into changes in the world, times, and history. The overall national security concept, adhere to the national security in all aspects and the entire process of the work of the party and the country, plan and deploy together with economic and social development, and make a series of major decisions and deployments from an overall and strategic perspective.

  For the first time, the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China included overall development and security into the guiding ideology of my country's economic and social development during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.

General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward "ten insistence" requirements for implementing the overall national security concept when presiding over the 26th collective study of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, one of which is to insist on coordinating development and security.

The Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee reviewed and approved the Party's third historical resolution, summarizing the historic achievements and changes in the cause of the party and the country in the new era from 13 aspects, one of which is the maintenance of national security.

Over the past 10 years, national security has been comprehensively strengthened, and it has withstood the tests of risks and challenges from politics, economy, ideology, nature, etc., providing a strong guarantee for the prosperity and long-term stability of the party and the country.

  Development is the last word and the key to solving all China's problems.

Under the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the balance, coordination and sustainability of my country's economic development have been significantly enhanced, and my country's economy has moved towards a higher quality, more efficient, fairer, more sustainable and safer development path.

Since 2012, China's economic aggregate has jumped from 50 trillion yuan to 114 trillion yuan, and its proportion in the world economy has risen from 11.3% to over 18%; per capita GDP has risen from US$6,300 to over US$12,000, forming more than 4 The world's largest middle-income group of 100 million people; nearly 100 million rural poor people have been lifted out of poverty, and a moderately prosperous society has been built on the land of China.

  Development and security are two wings of one body and two wheels of driving.

From proposing "two major events in the overall development of security", to deploying "preventing and resolving major risks", to requiring "the epidemic must be prevented, the economy must be stabilized, and development must be safe", General Secretary Xi Jinping deeply grasps the dialectical unity of development and security. , let development and security promote and complement each other, and promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation into an irreversible historical process.

The great changes in the new era in the past 10 years have inspired us to do a good job in ensuring national security as the "top priority", and do a good job in developing the "first priority", in order to build a solid foundation for national security, strengthen the confidence to overcome difficulties, and promote The giant ship China chops the waves and travels steadily and far.

  At present, the century-old changes in the world and the epidemic of the century are superimposed. The global economic recovery is fragile and weak, and the world has entered a new period of turbulence and change.

The global development and security situation is complex, and mankind faces many common challenges.

General Secretary Xi Jinping has put forward the global development initiative and the global security initiative successively. The problem of security governance contributes to China's plan and is a long-term strategy for promoting human peace and development.

  From a domestic point of view, the complexity, severity and uncertainty of my country's economic development environment have increased.

The tasks of reform, development and stability are arduous and arduous. my country's development has entered a period when various risks and challenges are continuously accumulated and even exposed in a concentrated manner. There will be no shortage of major struggles. The various struggles are not short-term but long-term, and at least accompany us to achieve the second century. The whole process of striving for the goal.

Contemporary China is experiencing the most ambitious and unique practice innovation in human history. The heavy tasks of reform, development and stability, the many contradictions, risks and challenges, and the challenges of governance and administration are unprecedented. The world has undergone profound changes unseen in a century.

We must ensure development with security, promote security with development, and build national security on a safer and more reliable basis.

To embark on a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way and to coordinate development and security is an important issue facing the Chinese Communists.

  Development and security complement each other and cannot be neglected, and are unified in the great practice of upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Coordinating development and security is not only a major theoretical issue, but also an important practical requirement.

At the seminar on "Learning the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speeches and welcoming the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China" by leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out profoundly, "Relying on tenacious struggle to open up new horizons for career development, the most fundamental thing is to make our Do your own thing well."

On the new journey, we must manage the two major issues of development and safety well, and strive to achieve higher-quality, more efficient, more equitable, more sustainable, and more secure development, so that we can effectively respond to external threats with the "certainty" of reform and development. "Uncertainty", firmly grasp the development initiative and historical initiative.

  From 2012 to 2021, the sense of security of the Chinese people has risen from 87.55% to 98.62%; my country has long been among the countries with the lowest homicide rate in the world... At the series of press conferences on the theme of "China's Decade", data released by relevant departments resonate widely.

  Looking forward to "peace in the world and peace of all things", looking forward to "the people are prosperous and the country is strong, and the people are safe and peaceful", and pray that "the weather will be good for the people and the people's business"... Guotai and people's security are the most basic and common aspirations of the people, seeking development, ensuring safety, and always It is the aspiration of the people and the well-being of the people.

Development for whom and security for whom are often the touchstones for testing the nature of a political party and a regime.

  "No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must adhere to the people-centered development philosophy."

In his speech at the 2022 World Economic Forum video conference, General Secretary Xi Jinping made powerful remarks.

Faced with the sudden outbreak of COVID-19, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core insisted on putting people first and life first, and launched a people's war, an overall war, and a blocking war against the epidemic, which maximized the protection of people's lives and health, and coordinated economic development and development. The epidemic prevention and control has achieved the best results in the world.

At the "2022 Beijing Human Rights Forum", the participants said that in the process of fighting the epidemic, the Chinese government has always put people's lives, safety and health first and protected human rights to the greatest extent possible.

  "The country is based on the people, and the community is also built for the people." A sentence printed on a wall in the Zhuxi Garden by the Jiuqu River in Wuyi Mountain, General Secretary Xi Jinping stared for a long time.

Seeking happiness for the people and rejuvenation for the nation is not only the starting point and foothold of our party's leadership in the modernization drive, but also the "root" and "soul" of the new development concept.

Adhering to the people-centered and people's safety as the purpose fully demonstrates the nature, purpose and original mission of the Communist Party of China, runs through the value orientation of coordinating development and security, and points out the direction for coordinating development and security in the new era.

  "Our party is a party that serves the people and benefits the people. It is the common aspiration of the Communists to do everything the people care about." During his inspection in Liaoning, General Secretary Xi Jinping's remarks were full of affection, revealing that The Chinese Communists have always adhered to the purpose of serving the people.

Looking back on the century-old struggle, the party united and led the people in revolution, construction, and reform. The fundamental purpose is to make the people live a good life. No matter how much challenges and pressures they face, no matter how much sacrifices and costs they pay, this is unswerving and unswerving. Do not waver.

  People's hearts are the greatest politics, and people's security is the greatest responsibility.

On the new journey, to do a good job in development and ensure security, we must adhere to the principle of doing everything for the people and relying on the people, solve the people's urgent problems, constantly promote social fairness and justice, and effectively promote the all-round development of people and the common prosperity of all people. More obvious substantive progress will enable the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and have a more fulfilling, secure, and sustainable sense of gain, happiness, and security.

  With the "big man of the country" in mind, "the lights of thousands of families" are lit, "every family is safe", and a more prosperous and peaceful life is becoming a reality in the common struggle of more than 1.4 billion people...

  "There is a certain strategy, and then there is a certain merit." General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that to plan and promote the work of the party and the country, we must deeply analyze the international and domestic trends, scientifically grasp the strategic opportunities and risks and challenges we face, and emphasize that correct Strategic and strategic contingency, cultivating new opportunities, and opening new games.

  Strategic issues are fundamental issues for a political party and a country.

If the strategic judgment is accurate, the strategic plan is scientific, and the strategy wins the initiative, the cause of the party and the people will have great hope.

To coordinate development and security, we must grasp the general trend, take a long-term perspective, adopt correct strategic strategies, play the "first move" and fight the "active battle".

  In recent years, economic globalization has encountered adverse currents, the international economic cycle has undergone in-depth adjustments, and the new crown pneumonia epidemic has exacerbated the trend of anti-globalization. The internal and external environment for my country's economic development has become more complex and severe.

  How do you see the situation?

What about development?

Building a new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles promoting each other is a long-term strategy for General Secretary Xi Jinping to coordinate both domestic and international situations, coordinate high-quality development and high-level security, and grasp the initiative in future development.

  This is a strategic choice in response to the general trend of the times.

In today's world, "black swans" are flying around, "grey rhinos" are frequently appearing, the international environment is becoming more and more complex, instability and uncertainty have increased significantly, the global industrial chain and supply chain are facing impacts due to non-economic factors, and the traditional international cycle has weakened.

Compared to before, the environmental conditions of large inflows and outflows have changed.

Only by basing itself on itself, giving full play to the advantages of the domestic super-large-scale market, and adding impetus to my country's economic development by prospering the domestic economy and smoothing the domestic cycle, can we shape new advantages for my country to participate in international cooperation and competition, and create new advantages with the attitude of "running the tide". future.

  This is an active act to accurately grasp the historical development trend.

Historical experience shows that all major countries that can successfully achieve economic rise are the result of the energy released by the cohesion of their own economies.

At present, the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development in my country is still prominent, the task of reforming key links in key areas is still arduous, the innovation capability does not meet the requirements of high-quality development, and the contradictions and problems in development are concentrated in the quality of development.

The construction of a new development pattern is conducive to opening up the "two lines of appointment and supervision" of economic development, transforming the development mode, optimizing the economic structure, and transforming the driving force of growth, ensuring the health and smoothness of the economic system, and enhancing the ability of my country's economy to resist risks, so as to "let the wind and waves rise." , sit firmly on the Diaoyutai."

  Building a new development pattern, focusing on overall development and security, scientifically responding to the new contradictions and challenges brought about by the complex international environment, and effectively responding to the new characteristics and new requirements brought about by the transformation of the main contradictions in our society, is to seize the initiative in development and achieve a high level of development. Security strategic planning has profound historical inevitability and strong realistic pertinence.

  Qingshan can't cover it, after all, it flows east.

To speed up the construction of a new development pattern is to enhance our survivability, competitiveness, development and sustainability in the face of various predictable and unforeseen storms and turbulent waves.

On the new journey, we can gain an advantage by grasping the new development stage, implementing the new development concept, building a new development pattern, promoting high-quality development without stopping, maintaining high-level safety without slackening, and promoting high-quality development and high-level safety dynamic balance. , win the initiative, win the future, and open up a new realm for the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics in a new era.

  147.39 million tons!

This year, the country has achieved another bumper harvest of summer grains, which has stabilized the economic chassis and provided solid support for China to cope with the uncertainty of the external environment.

  "Eight policies of Hong Fan, food is the first policy." Solving the problem of food for more than one billion people has always been a major issue related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

From food security to energy security, from the stability and security of the industrial chain and supply chain to the prevention and resolution of major financial risks, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core adheres to the bottom-line thinking, and leads the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country to develop a strategy of turning danger into danger and turning crisis into opportunity Active warfare has maintained sustained and healthy economic development and overall social stability.

  Peace without forgetting danger, survival without forgetting death, governance without forgetting chaos, this is the profound historical consciousness of a century-old party.

General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out that coordinating development and security, enhancing the awareness of urgency, and being prepared for danger in times of peace is a major principle of our party's governance of the country.

  Born out of internal and external troubles, and growing up in hardships and setbacks, along the way, our party has always had a strong sense of urgency and risk.

As early as 1945, Comrade Mao Zedong listed 17 difficulties in one breath when he talked about "preparing to suffer losses" at the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China, emphasizing that while seeing the light, we must be prepared to face difficulties, "we must be prepared for the worst possible situation". to establish our policy."

In 1988, when talking about reforms and risks, Comrade Deng Xiaoping emphasized: "We should focus on the emergence of larger risks and prepare countermeasures. In this way, even if there are major risks, the sky will not fall. ."

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has given important instructions on many occasions, repeatedly emphasizing the extreme importance of preventing and defusing major risks.

The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made the prevention and resolution of major risks one of the three tough battles.

In January 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping listed 16 specific risks in 8 aspects at the opening ceremony of the seminar on studying and implementing the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Among them, he warned the whole party that "major infectious diseases like SARS should also be Always be vigilant and take precautions.”

In January 2019, at the opening ceremony of the special seminar for leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels to adhere to bottom-line thinking and focus on preventing and defusing major risks, General Secretary Xi Jinping once again focused on preventing and defusing politics, ideology, economy, science and technology, society, external environment, In-depth analysis of major risks in the field of party building and other fields, and clear requirements.

  The hard road is an uphill road, and the hard ship is a sailboat.

With the transformation of the main contradiction in our society and the profound adjustment of the international balance of power, the risks and challenges faced by our country's development are more complicated than ever.

To coordinate development and security, we must be brave and good at coping with various risks and challenges. We must be highly vigilant against both "black swan" events and "grey rhino" events; We will do a good job in the strategic active battle of turning danger into danger and turning crisis into opportunity.

  "Not getting stuck lies in early thinking, and not being exhausted lies in early hesitation." To overcome risks and challenges, we must stimulate the sense of responsibility of "always be at ease", handle decisively, and act proactively.

Estimate the difficulties more fully, think more deeply about the risks, implement the measures more carefully, focus on the worst, make the most adequate preparations, strive for the best results, and firmly guard against the occurrence of systemic risks bottom line.

  The bottom line is the safety line, and action is the guarantee.

To overcome risks and challenges, we must work hard, let the work step on the idea and grasp the key points.

Come up with great tricks, hard tricks and real tricks, focus on making up for shortcomings, strengths and weaknesses, solidifying the bottom line, and promoting advantages, and transform the "hard work index" of party members and cadres into the "happiness index" of the people and the "rising index" of career development. ".

  To overcome risks and challenges, we must grasp the dialectical relationship between crisis and opportunity and turn crisis into opportunity.

Crisis and opportunity coexist and depend on each other, and can be transformed into each other under certain conditions. Overcoming a crisis is an opportunity.

To seek development in a more unstable and uncertain world, as long as we strengthen our lofty aspirations, stimulate our enterprising spirit, and strengthen our fighting ability, we plan ahead before the "mountains and rains are about to come", and when the "wind rises", we will learn from the slightest. By accurately recognizing changes, responding scientifically, and actively seeking changes, we will be able to create great opportunities in the fight against major risks, and always firmly grasp the development initiative.

  "Look at the rise and fall of past lives, and examine the gains and losses of today."

History has repeatedly proved that whether the development and security can be well coordinated has a bearing on the rise and fall of a country and the direction of history.

Security without development as a support is bound to be unsustainable; development without security as a guarantee is bound to be unsustainable.

This is the profound revelation that history has left us.

  To coordinate development and safety, we must master and apply scientific methodology, adhere to systematic thinking, be good at "playing the piano", and achieve coordination and progress.

"Every thousand will be a feather, and the weight is in the balance."

It is necessary to consider more security factors in development, enhance national security strength through development, and be good at using development achievements to consolidate the foundation of national security, and be good at creating a security environment conducive to economic and social development to achieve high-quality development and high-level security. positive interaction.

  Coordinate epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, not only insist on dynamic clearing, creating favorable conditions for economic and social development, but also adhere to scientific precision, protect people's lives and health to the greatest extent, and minimize the impact of the epidemic on economic and social development; correct; Recognize and grasp the characteristics and behavioral laws of capital, not only set "traffic lights", strengthen the effective supervision of capital in accordance with the law, but also support and guide the healthy development of capital, and promote the healthy development of the non-public economy and the healthy growth of people in the non-public economy; In the horizontal opening to the outside world, we not only insist on strengthening international scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation, but also promote scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement.

  The key to coordinating development and security is to deeply understand the complementary and mutually reinforcing relationship between the two, adhere to the unity of the "two-point theory" and the "key theory", think about problems and do things from a developmental, systematic, and universally connected perspective, and weigh the pros and cons. We should seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, grasp the overall situation in overall planning, obtain the "optimal solution" and achieve "optimization", and organically integrate the two goals of development and security, and strive to build a long-term security trend and grow the business of governance.

  The big river is rushing, never giving up day and night; passing through Guanshan, moving forward forever.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in the face of the arduous and arduous tasks of reform, development and stability, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, we have maintained our strategic focus, strengthened our confidence, faced difficulties, and fought battle after battle. , to overcome external unfavorable factors, concentrate on running their own affairs well, and hand in a wonderful answer sheet for overall development and safety.

  The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation cannot be achieved easily and by beating gongs and drums. We must have the courage to wage a great struggle with many new historical characteristics and be prepared to make even more arduous and arduous efforts.

At present, the world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century, and the changes in the world, the times, and the history are more obvious.

my country's development is faced with new strategic opportunities, new strategic tasks, new strategic stages, new strategic requirements, and new strategic environments. The risks and challenges that need to be dealt with, and the contradictions and problems that need to be resolved are more complicated than ever.

On the new journey, we will maintain the determination of "flying through chaotic clouds and still be calm", strove to "roll up your sleeves and work hard", and stimulate the spirit of "the more difficult and dangerous the more forward", no force can stop the Chinese people and peace. The progress of the Chinese nation.

  Stepping through the ups and downs into a road, fighting the hardships and setting out again.

We firmly believe that no matter how the times change, with the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and the united struggle of more than 1.4 billion Chinese people, we will surely be able to compose comprehensive construction A new chapter in a modern socialist country.

  The general trend of history is unstoppable; the tide of the times is mighty.

Unswervingly follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics and manage the two major events of development and security well.
