十九大报告提出构成新时代坚持和发展中国特色社会主义的十四条基本方略,号召全党同志全面贯彻落实,以更好引领党和人民事业发展。本期刊登第十、十一、十二条。
The report delivered by General Secretary Xi Jinping at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the 14-point basic policy that underpins the endeavors to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. In the report, Xi Jinping called on all Party members to fully implement the Party’s basic policy so as to better steer the development of the Party and people’s cause. Here we publish the 10th, 11th, and 12th basic policies as follows.
(十) 坚持总体国家安全观
统筹发展和安全,增强忧患意识,做到居安思危,是我们党治国理政的一个重大原则。必须坚持国家利益至上,以人民安全为宗旨,以政治安全为根本,统筹外部安全和内部安全、国土安全和国民安全、传统安全和非传统安全、自身安全和共同安全,完善国家安全制度体系,加强国家安全能力建设,坚决维护国家主权、安全、发展利益。｡
10. Pursuing a holistic approach
to national security
We should ensure both development and security and be ever ready to protect against potential dangers in time of peace. This is a major principle underlying the Party’s governance. We must put national interests first, take protecting our people’s security as our mission and safeguarding political security as a fundamental task, and ensure both internal and external security, homeland and public security, traditional and non-traditional security, and China’s own and common security. We will improve our systems and institutions and enhance capacity-building for national security, and resolutely safeguard China’s sovereignty, security, and development interests.
(十一) 坚持党对人民军队的绝对领导
建设一支听党指挥、能打胜仗、作风优良的人民军队,是实现“两个一百年”奋斗目标、实现中华民族伟大复兴的战略支撑。必须全面贯彻党领导人民军队的一系列根本原则和制度,确立新时代党的强军思想在国防和军队建设中的指导地位,坚持政治建军、改革强军、科技兴军、依法治军,更加注重聚焦实战,更加注重创新驱动,更加注重体系建设,更加注重集约高效,更加注重军民融合,实现党在新时代的强军目标。｡
11. Upholding absolute Party leadership over the people’s armed forces
Building people’s forces that obey the Party’s command, can fight and win, and maintain excellent conduct is strategically important to achieving the two centenary goals and national rejuvenation. To realize the Party’s goal of building a powerful military in the new era, we must fully implement the fundamental principles and systems of Party leadership over the military, and see that Party strategy on strengthening military capabilities for the new era guides work to build national defense and the armed forces. We must continue to enhance the political loyalty of the armed forces, strengthen them through reform and technology, and run them in accordance with law. We must place greater focus on combat, encourage innovation, build systems, increase efficacy and efficiency, and further military-civilian integration.
(十二) 坚持“一国两制”和推进祖国统一
保持香港、澳门长期繁荣稳定,实现祖国完全统一,是实现中华民族伟大复兴的必然要求。必须把维护中央对香港、澳门特别行政区全面管治权和保障特别行政区高度自治权有机结合起来,确保“一国两制”方针不会变、不动摇,确保“一国两制”实践不变形、不走样。必须坚持一个中国原则,坚持“九二共识”,推动两岸关系和平发展,深化两岸经济合作和文化往来,推动两岸同胞共同反对一切分裂国家的活动,共同为实现中华民族伟大复兴而奋斗。｡
12. Upholding the principle of “one country, two systems” and promoting national reunification
Maintaining lasting prosperity and stability in Hong Kong and Macao and achieving China’s full reunification are essential to realizing national rejuvenation. We must ensure both the central government’s overall jurisdiction over the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions and a high degree of autonomy in the two regions. We should ensure that the principle of “one country, two systems” remains unchanged, is unwaveringly upheld, and in practice is not bent or distorted. We must uphold the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus, promote the peaceful development of cross-Straits relations, deepen economic cooperation and cultural exchange between the two sides of the Straits, and encourage fellow Chinese on both sides to oppose all separatist activities and work together to realize Chinese national rejuvenation.
Editor’s note: In this column we introduce phrases frequently used in the Chinese media and by the Chinese government, thereby providing a succinct overview of China’s political thinking, its policies, and ongoing reforms and transitions.
