摘 要: | In order to address the increasingly complicated and volatile security
situation at home and abroad, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of
China has put forward clear strategic requirements “to improve the national security
system” and taken as its general goal “to institute a centralized, unifi ed, effi cient and
authoritative national security system,” which gives full expression to the important
position of a national security system in the work of national security. China’s national
security system refers to the sum total of the specifi c institutions and codes of conduct
for the administration of national security and is aimed at providing institutional support
to ensure that China is a secure state and has the capacity to remain so. The division of
functions of national security, the administration system of state security organs, the
management system of human resources for national security, the power-responsibility
mechanism and legal guarantees are the essential elements that constitute China’s
national security system. We can clearly understand the characteristics of China’s
national security system in different periods and trace its development by studying its
history. Besides, we must be fully aware that such problems as insufficient research
into the national security system, unclear division of the functions of national security,
lack of strength in the building of state security organs, and a lag in the construction of
the legal system concerning national security, inhibit the full functionality of China’s
national security system. If these problems are not solved in a timely manner, China
will have diffi culty resolving the various challenges to its national security. Therefore,
the most effective ways to improve China’s national security system are: to defi ne in
a scientifi c and rational style the functions of China’s national security at the present
stage, give full rein to the powers of the National Security Committee of the CPC
Central Committee; and forge a high-quality national security force.
