They have lofty intentions, rich connotations, and profound thoughts. They are of great significance for us to deeply understand the construction of people's livelihood and social governance. The people-oriented and people-oriented governance philosophy continues to realize, maintain, and develop the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, it is of great guiding significance to achieve development for the people, development depends on the people, and the fruits of development are shared by the people.

It is divided into nine topics, totaling 326 paragraphs. Many of these statements are published for the first time. The ninth chapter of the book focuses on "adhering to the overall national security concept and embarking on a national security path with Chinese characteristics". Some of the highlights are as follows:
 
my country's development is still in a period of important strategic opportunities that can make a lot of achievements, but the connotation and conditions of the important strategic opportunity period have undergone new changes. One of the prominent aspects is that the international and surrounding security environment has become more complex, and the maintenance of national security is facing some worthy of high attention. New situations and new issues that are taken seriously.

my country is in the historical stage of crossing the "middle-income trap" and moving towards a high-income country. The contradictions and risks are more and more complicated than when moving from a low-income country to a middle-income country. Therefore, everything should be prepared from the bad, strive for the best results, and be prepared. We pay attention to dealing with all kinds of problems in economic and social development, not only to prevent the growth rate from slipping out of the bottom line, but also to rationally treat the new normal of high-speed growth to medium and high-speed growth; we not only emphasize the improvement of people's livelihood, but also realistically adjust some excessive commitments; we not only pay close attention to overcapacity, local debt, real estate market, shadow banking, mass incidents and other risk points, And take effective measures to resolve regional and systemic financial risks, preventing local problems from evolving into global risks.
-Speech at the Central Economic Work Conference (December 10, 2013)
 
Enhancing the sense of hardship and being prepared for danger in times of peace is a major principle that we must always adhere to in governing the party and the country. Our party must consolidate its ruling position, unite and lead the people to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics, and ensure national security is the top priority.
-- Speech at the first meeting of the Central National Security Council (April 15, 2014), People's Daily, April 16, 2014
 
At present, the connotation and extension of China's national security are richer than at any time in history, the field of time and space is broader than at any time in history, and the internal and external factors are more complex than at any time in history. We must adhere to the overall concept of national security, take people's security as the purpose, take political security as the foundation, economic security as the foundation, military, cultural and social security as the guarantee, and promote international security as the basis, and blaze a path of national security with chinese characteristics.
-- Speech at the first meeting of the Central National Security Council (April 15, 2014), People's Daily, April 16, 2014
 
To implement the overall national security concept, we must attach importance to both external security and internal security, seek development, change, stability, build a safe China internally, and seek peace, cooperation, win-win results, and build a harmonious world externally; attach importance to both homeland security and national security, adhere to people-oriented and people-oriented, and adhere to national security for the people and rely on the people for everything, truly consolidate the mass foundation of national security; attach importance to both traditional security and non-traditional security, and build a national security system integrating political security, homeland security, military security, economic security, cultural security, social security, scientific and technological security, information security, ecological security, resource security and nuclear security; attach importance to both development and security, Development is the foundation of security, security is the condition of development, only a rich country can strengthen the army, and a strong army can defend the country; it attaches importance to both its own security and common security, builds a community with a shared future, and promotes all parties to move towards the goal of mutual benefit and common security.

Since the reform and opening up, our party has always attached great importance to correctly handling the relationship between reform, development and stability, and has always regarded the maintenance of national security and social stability as a basic work of the party and the country. We have maintained the overall stability of our society and created a good environment for reform, opening up and socialist modernization. "Safety without forgetting danger, survival without forgetting death, treatment without forgetting chaos." At the same time, we must be soberly aware that under the new situation, China's national security and social stability are facing more threats and challenges, especially the linkage effect of various threats and challenges is obvious. We must keep a clear head, strengthen bottom-line thinking, effectively prevent, manage, and deal with national security risks, and effectively respond to, deal with, and resolve social stability challenges.
-Speech at the 14th Collective Study of the Political Bureau of the 18th Central Committee (April 25, 2014), People's Daily, April 27, 2014
 
To maintain national security, we must do a good job in maintaining social harmony and stability, do a good job in preventing and resolving social contradictions, and actively promote the prevention and resolution of social contradictions in terms of systems, mechanisms, policies, and work. It is necessary to enhance the comprehensiveness, coordination, and sustainability of development, strengthen the protection and improvement of people's livelihood, and prevent and reduce social conflicts from the source. It is necessary to promote social fairness and justice and enhance the well-being of the people as the starting point and goal, increase efforts to coordinate the interests of all parties, and promote development results to benefit all people more equitably. It is necessary to improve and implement the system and mechanism for safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the masses, improve and implement the social stability risk assessment mechanism, and prevent and reduce conflicts of interest. It is necessary to comprehensively promote the rule of law and better safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the people. For all kinds of social contradictions, we should guide the masses to solve them through legal procedures and legal means, and promote the formation of a good environment in which we handle affairs according to law, find the law when we encounter problems, use the law when we solve problems, and rely on the law to resolve contradictions.

Energy security is an overall and strategic issue related to the country's economic and social development, and it is vital to the country's prosperity and development, the improvement of people's lives, and the long-term stability of society. The importance of energy and the scarcity of energy resources determine that whoever masters energy may master the development space and the important source of wealth creation. In today's world, energy issues are the priority areas of national security of all countries. Many international political, economic, diplomatic, military and other activities focus on energy. Grasping energy will seize the nose of national development and security strategies.
-Speech at the Sixth Meeting of the Central Financial and Economic Leading Group (June 13, 2014)
 
We must hold high the banner of peace, development, cooperation, and win-win, coordinate the overall domestic and international situations, and coordinate the two major issues of development and security, firmly grasp the main line of adhering to peaceful development and promoting national rejuvenation, and safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests. Create a more favorable international environment for peaceful development, and maintain and extend the important strategic opportunity period for my country's development, to provide a strong guarantee for the realization of the "two centenary" goals and the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
-Speech at the Central Foreign Affairs Conference (November 28, 2014), People's Daily, November 30, 2014
 
The next five years may be a period in which the risks facing China's development will continue to accumulate and even be exposed in a concentrated manner. The major risks we face include not only domestic economic, political, ideological, social risks and risks from nature, but also international economic, political and military risks. If major risks occur and cannot be carried, national security may face major threats, and the process of building a well-off society in an all-round way may be interrupted. We must put the prevention of risks in a prominent position, "the picture is not cute, and the consideration is not there", and strive to avoid major risks or to be able to withstand and get by when major risks occur.

The premise of promoting innovative development, coordinated development, green development, open development and shared development is national security and social stability. Nothing can be said without security and stability. "The wise man takes precautions against misfortune before it sprout, and the wise man wants to suffer in the future." We must be proactive, take precautions, learn from the slights, prevent the slights, play first moves, take the initiative, be prepared to deal with any form of contradictions, risks and challenges, and be prepared for various struggles economically, politically, culturally, socially, diplomatically, and militarily.

A strong country must have a strong army, and a strong army can ensure national security. To achieve the goal of the second step of the "three-step" development strategy for the modernization of national defense and the armed forces by 2020 is not only the due meaning of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, but also an important guarantee for building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way. National defense strength should match economic strength, and national defense strength should follow up at any step in economic and social development, otherwise it will not be able to provide a strong security guarantee for economic and social development.

National peace and security is the most basic and universal aspiration of the people. To realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment, national security is the top priority. We should take the establishment of the national security education day as an opportunity, take the overall national security concept as the guidance, comprehensively implement the national security law, carry out in-depth national security publicity and education, and effectively enhance the national security awareness of the whole people. We must adhere to national security for the people and rely on the people for everything, mobilize the whole party and society to work together, gather powerful forces to maintain national security, consolidate the social foundation of national security, prevent and resolve various security risks, and continuously improve the people's sense of security, Happiness.

Network security and information technology are complementary. Security is the premise of development, development is the guarantee of security, security and development should be promoted simultaneously. We must realize that through the ages, many technologies have been "double-edged swords". On the one hand, they can benefit the society and the people, and on the other hand, they can also be used by some people to harm the public interests and the interests of the people. From a global perspective, cyber security threats and risks have become increasingly prominent, and they have increasingly penetrated into political, economic, cultural, social, ecological, and national defense fields. In particular, the national critical information infrastructure is facing greater risks and hidden dangers, and the network security prevention and control capabilities are weak, making it difficult to effectively respond to national and organized high-intensity network attacks. This is a problem for all countries in the world, and we are certainly no exception.
-- "Speech at the Symposium on Network Security and Informatization" (April 19, 2016), People's Publishing House, pp. 15-16
 
Insist on co-construction and sharing, and build a world of universal security. There is no absolutely safe paradise in the world. The security of a country cannot be built on the turbulence of other countries, and the threat of other countries may also become a challenge to its own country. If there is a problem with the neighbor, we should not just think about tying up our own fence, but should help. "A single is easy to break, but a crowd is hard to break." All parties should establish a common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security concept.
-"Building a Community of Human Destiny" (January 18, 2017), People's Daily, January 20, 2017
 
National security covers a wide range of fields, and its importance in the overall work of the party and the country has become increasingly prominent. We are advancing the great struggle with many new historical characteristics, the new great project of party building, and the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and we are always facing various risks and major challenges. This not only raises new issues for national security work, but also provides new opportunities for national security work. In the final analysis, national security work is to protect the interests of the people. We must insist on national security for the people and rely on the people for everything, so as to provide a strong guarantee for the people to live and work in peace and contentment.

Financial security is an important part of national security and an important foundation for stable and healthy economic development. Maintaining financial security is a strategic and fundamental event related to the overall economic and social development of our country. Financial life, economic life; financial stability, economic stability. We must fully understand the important position and role of finance in economic development and social life, take the maintenance of financial security as a major event in the governance of the country, and do a good job in financial work in a down-to-earth manner.
