1. What kind of security situation is China facing?

Traditional security threats and non-traditional security threats are intertwined, which is a grim situation facing China's security. At present, China is facing not only the challenges of traditional security threats such as politics, military affairs and diplomacy, but also the challenges of non-traditional security threats such as terrorism, transnational crime, environmental pollution, natural disasters and serious infectious diseases. With the existence of separatist forces such as Taiwan independence, there are some complicated and sensitive historical and practical problems surrounding the East China Sea and the South China Sea, and the unstable and uncertain factors facing China's security situation are increasing.

The interaction between international factors and domestic factors is the characteristic of China's security problems. In the process of opening wider to the outside world, economic globalization and the continuous development of information networking, China's ties with other countries are getting closer and closer, and the flow of people and information at home and abroad is increasing and accelerating. If some domestic problems are not handled properly, they may turn into international problems, and some international problems may also lead to social stability problems and increase the complexity of maintaining national security.

With the progress of the times and the continuous expansion of national interests, new security problems that cannot be ignored have emerged in China's accelerated development. China's economy is integrated with the world economy, and the external dependence of important strategic resources such as energy is increasing. Threats such as the protection and utilization of China's marine exclusive economic zone and continental shelf, the safety of sea passages, the safety of space and information, the safety of important overseas resources, and the safety of property and life of overseas compatriots and Chinese have been very realistic before us.

Second, how to use military power to safeguard national interests under the current situation.

The new situation and new characteristics of China's security situation urgently require our army to speed up the development of its ability to respond to various security threats and complete diversified military tasks, and provide a strong security guarantee for safeguarding the important strategic opportunity period of national development, defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and realizing the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way. To accomplish diversified military tasks, it is necessary to have diversified military capabilities.

To accomplish diversified military tasks, we must pay close attention to the development and changes of the national security situation, clarify the functions and tasks of our army, clarify the way and action style of the army to play its role, clarify the requirements of military strength construction, and effectively improve the ability to complete diversified military tasks.

It can be said that national interests run through our military's functional mission like a red line. Wherever national security interests and development interests extend, our military's ability to complete diversified military tasks should extend.

There are many ways to use military power. In the face of different security threats, we should take flexible, fast, legal and necessary military actions around the overall strategic objectives of the country to ensure the effective performance of functions and play a role. The functions of our army can be brought into play through specific combat operations, non-war military operations or paramilitary operations; Traditional military action styles such as deterrence, defense and attack can be adopted, and new military action styles such as international peacekeeping, military cooperation, military declaration, humanitarian relief and anti-terrorism struggle can also be adopted. Maintaining national security requires comprehensive use of various means, but military means are always in the core and pillar position. At the same time, in the capacity building of our army, the new characteristics of coping with crisis and containing war are highlighted.

The requirements of the army's combat effectiveness construction are diversified. In the construction of combat effectiveness, all units should organize and implement it in a focused and targeted manner according to the strategic direction they are facing, combined with strategic tasks and based on their own existing conditions. At present, the preparation for military struggle is the most important, realistic and urgent strategic task of our army. Establish the standard of fighting capacity to effectively defend the reunification of the motherland under complicated circumstances, so as to guide, promote and measure all preparations. At the same time, we should combine solving real threats with meeting future challenges. Focusing on the strategic goal of building an information-based army and winning an information-based war, we should put preparations for military struggle at the strategic height of promoting military reform with China characteristics, establish standards for building combat effectiveness of troops at different stages, levels and categories, establish development strategies of arms and services and various weapons and equipment, and test the effectiveness of military reform with the practice of military struggle preparation. Improve the quality of preparations for military struggle with the achievements of military reform, and constantly deepen the military reform with China characteristics.

He is good at observing and analyzing the security situation and thinking about handling military issues from a political perspective and the overall development of the country. Military obeys politics, and military strategy obeys and serves the overall national strategy. Nowadays, military struggle is more closely related to politics, economy, diplomacy, culture and law, and its relevance and integrity at the strategic level are increasing day by day. When analyzing and judging the situation, directing military work and directing military operations, we should not only consider the problem militarily, but also pay attention to the overall situation of political height and national interests, and see whether the work planning and guidance meet the requirements of the overall situation of national development and the needs of political and diplomatic struggles. This requires us to constantly broaden our national security vision and military strategic vision, strengthen our political awareness, overall awareness and strategic awareness, and ensure that military work plays a greater role in the overall work of the party and the state.

Adhere to the guidance of military struggle preparation and promote the all-round development of army building. The core of developing new military capabilities is to enhance the ability to win local wars under the conditions of informationization. Grasp the key points of development, coordinate the overall development, and promote the overall development with local leapfrogging. At present, we should firmly grasp the deep-seated contradictions and bottlenecks that restrict the growth of combat effectiveness, actively promote the innovation of military theory, technology, organization system and management, and make continuous breakthroughs in the construction of operational command system, the composition of combat forces, the development of weapons and equipment, military management and logistics support. The upsurge of military training in Daxing focuses on the preparation for military struggle, pays attention to classified guidance, further strengthens targeted training, actively and steadily promotes integrated training, and strives to promote the military training of our army to a higher level.

Military strength is a strong backing for safeguarding national interests and fulfilling international obligations. China adheres to the path of peaceful development, implements the strategic thinking of active defense, and always adheres to the position of self-defense militarily and always uses force cautiously. In the face of the new national security situation, we should closely combine cautious and skillful warfare, self-defense and counterattack, and the use of military forces in war with the use of military forces in non-war, highlight the initiative of maintaining the period of strategic opportunities, the flexibility of responding to crises and the predictability of strategic guidance, and actively expand the space for strategic operation. We should not only pay attention to the planning and implementation of the war, but also pay attention to the prevention of the crisis. Through the effective use of military means, we should strive to deter the crisis, resolve the crisis in time, effectively control the crisis, and achieve the strategic goal with appropriate military struggle actions.
