On February 8, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out when listening to the work report of the Jilin Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government that we must always hold it in our hands to coordinate development and security.

Safety and development are the two wings of one body and the two wheels of drive. From the first proposal of the overall national security concept in 2014 to the explanation of the dialectical relationship between development and security on many important occasions, General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to coordinating development and security, it goes without saying.

Safety is the prerequisite for development, "We must be good at shaping a safe environment conducive to economic and social development."

Promoting innovative development, coordinated development, green development, open development, and shared development is the premise of national security and social stability. Without safety and stability, nothing can be said.

Development is a guarantee of security, "we must be good at using development achievements to consolidate the strength and foundation of national security."

The development of the new era must be high-quality development. Only by continuously strengthening my country's economic strength, scientific and technological strength, and comprehensive national strength can we achieve higher level and higher level of security.

The dialectical relationship between development and security can be sensible and identifiable in the practice of promoting high-quality development. The higher the quality of development, the more diverse and multi-level demands for security will be. We must "integrate national security into all aspects of the work of the Party and the country, plan and deploy together with economic and social development, adhere to systematic thinking, and build a large security pattern."

The Northeast region is an important industrial and agricultural base in my country. Its strategic position in safeguarding national defense security, food security, ecological security, energy security and industrial security is very important and is related to the overall national development. This time, the emphasis on "coordinating development and security" was emphasized in Jilin, focusing on promoting the comprehensive revitalization of the Northeast, with a clear direction and far-reaching significance.

Always think about the overall situation, and always observe the general trend, and be powerful. The road ahead cannot be smooth sailing. The brighter the prospects, the more we must enhance our sense of crisis, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and fully understand and effectively respond to some major risks and challenges.

When Comrade Xi Jinping was working in Zhejiang, he emphasized on the work of preventing typhoons that "it is better to prevent nine out of ten times than to lose defense." From "anti-" typhoons to "anti-" typhoons is the continuous improvement of prevention and control measures, and it is also the full embodiment of the concept of people first.

"Correctly handle the relationship between safety and development, and insist on development, this red line must not be at the expense of safety." In July 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping made important instructions on strengthening safety production and safety prevention work during the flood season.

The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed that "coordinating development and security, enhancing the sense of crisis, and being prepared for danger in times of peace are an important principle for our party to govern the country"; the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clarified the overall requirements for promoting the modernization of the national security system and capabilities, and emphasized that "using a new security pattern to ensure the new development pattern"; the "Decision" of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China put safeguarding national security in a more prominent position, and proposed that "national security is an important foundation for the steady and long-term development of Chinese-style modernization."

In December 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized in his 26th collective study of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee: "Adhere to the coordinated development and security, adhere to the equal importance of development and security, and achieve a benign interaction between high-quality development and high-level security. It not only enhances national security strength through development, but also deeply promotes innovation in national security ideas, systems and means, creates a security environment conducive to economic and social development, consider more security factors in development, strive to achieve a dynamic balance between development and security, and comprehensively improves the ability and level of national security work."

Development and security complement each other and cannot be neglected. At present and in the future, my country's development is still in an important period of strategic opportunity. Scientifically grasping the dialectics of coordinating development and security is of great significance to further deepen reform and promote Chinese-style modernization.
