China releases white paper on modern national security, aiming to explain its innovative approach and achievements.
China’s State Council Information Office issued a white paper on Monday detailing the country’s national security strategies in the current era.
The paper seeks to thoroughly explain China’s innovative ideas, practices, and achievements in national security and to enhance the global understanding of its approach.
Excluding its preface and conclusion, the white paper is divided into six main sections. These highlight China’s role in offering stability to a chaotic world, its holistic national security approach, the alignment of security with modernization goals, integration of development and security, promotion of global peace through the Global Security Initiative, and reform-driven modernization of its national security system.
The document underscores China’s pursuit of rejuvenation during times of unprecedented global transformation, maintaining national security stability while collaborating with Asia-Pacific nations to foster regional peace, offering dependable steadiness in an otherwise unstable world.
The white paper notes that China’s holistic security strategy is the first of its kind to guide national security efforts since the founding of the PRC. It is rooted in Xi Jinping Thought and marks a key theoretical input from China to global discourse.
In today’s context, China follows a national security path unique to its system—one that prioritizes people’s safety, political stability, and national interests. It also facilitates high-quality development, encourages openness, and emphasizes legal governance.
China’s security efforts are deeply tied to the Communist Party’s leadership and socialist system. These efforts aim to improve citizens’ well-being, protect territorial and maritime interests, secure new technological fields, and strengthen the foundation for the country’s long-term rejuvenation.
The paper stresses the importance of integrating development and security. It aims to create synergy between sustainable growth and strong security, ensuring they complement and support each other.
China’s security strategy is driven by innovation and reform. It uses institutional mechanisms to build an efficient, coordinated national security framework and effective capabilities.
The Global Security Initiative outlined in the paper reflects a vision for global peace based on shared futures. It internationalizes China’s holistic approach to security.
China is committed to ensuring both national and global security. It champions improved global security governance, supports broad-based multilateral cooperation, and seeks to make the global system fairer and more balanced.
