Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged a stronger alignment between national development and security as China pushes forward with its modernization objectives. Emphasizing the importance of bolstering national security, Xi highlighted the need to enhance risk prevention strategies and address both immediate and root causes of security issues.
In his address, Xi called for the integration of advanced technology and legal frameworks to fortify China’s security system. This approach is part of a broader strategy to maintain public safety and trust, which Chinese authorities report is currently at a satisfaction level of over 98 percent. Additionally, officials noted a reduction in criminal and homicide cases in 2025, pointing to progress in maintaining internal stability.
Authorities are planning to focus more on early detection of risks, crime prevention, and resolving disputes at the community level. This includes addressing significant concerns such as serious violent crimes, human trafficking, telecom fraud, and organized crime. Efforts to combat online fraud and other security threats also remain a priority.
The Chinese government aims to continue enhancing its security measures to ensure a balanced approach to development and safety. This dual focus is seen as essential to achieving the country’s long-term goals of modernization while preserving societal stability.
