Unlike other countries, including the United States and Czechia, China has never published its national security strategy. While Beijing has issued various laws and military white papers over the years, the newly released public-facing document represents a <strong>more comprehensive and integrated approach<\/strong>.<\/p><p>Framed as a response to growing accusations that China poses a global threat, the white paper portrays Beijing as &#8220;a source of stability and certainty&#8221; and presents a far-reaching vision of security, closely intertwined with other areas of policymaking. It draws on Xi Jinping\u2019s (\u7fd2\u8fd1\u5e73) 2014 concept of\u00a0<strong>Comprehensive National Security<\/strong>\u00a0(\u7e3d\u9ad4\u570b\u5bb6\u5b89\u5168) and outlines internal and external threats, articulates China\u2019s global ambitions, and offers more strategic coherence than previous fragmented publications. Consequently, it may <a href=\"https:\/\/www.institutmontaigne.org\/en\/expressions\/reading-chinas-white-paper-national-security-new-era\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">suggest<\/a> that the leadership in Beijing is working on a new, non-public strategy, potentially covering the period from 2026 to 2031. Most importantly, it offers a rare glimpse into how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) perceives global risks \u2014 and itself.<\/p><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><h2>What is the broader picture?<\/h2><p>Amid global instability and rising great power competition, the white paper self-confidently presents China as a\u00a0<strong>pillar of stability<\/strong>\u00a0and a\u00a0<strong>responsible global peacemaker. <\/strong>The superpower that has \u201calways stood on the right side of history\u201d now blames the West, and particularly the United States, for destabilizing the Indo-Pacific through military alliances, missile deployments, and interference in Taiwan and the South China Sea.<\/p><p>The document also recognizes <strong>non-traditional security challenges<\/strong>, such as extreme climate phenomena, ecological security, food security, energy security, terrorism, religious extremism, transnational epidemics, space security, deep-sea exploration, polar regions, and cybersecurity, and gives special focus to the \u201ctechnological revolution.\u201d <strong>Technology<\/strong> is viewed as a key battleground, with a clear emphasis on\u00a0<strong>reducing dependence on the West<\/strong>\u00a0and securing strategic technologies, such as AI, biotechnology, and cybersecurity. The document argues that \u201csecurity enables modernization,\u201d framing technological self-reliance as crucial to national survival.<\/p><p>Unsurprisingly, the white paper reiterates China\u2019s <strong>uncompromising positions <\/strong>regarding Beijing\u2019s quest for the annexation of<strong> Taiwan<\/strong>, and its territorial claims in the <strong>South China Sea<\/strong> and the <strong>East China Sea<\/strong>. It also <strong>dismisses foreign criticism of human rights abuses in Tibet<\/strong>, East Turkestan (Xinjiang), and Hong Kong.<\/p><p>China casts itself as a\u00a0<strong>global power with global responsibilities<\/strong>, promoting its\u00a0<strong>Global Security Initiative<\/strong> (\u5168\u7403\u5b89\u5168\u5021\u8b70)\u00a0as a framework for shared international security. The paper criticizes \u201cbloc politics,\u201d unilateral sanctions, and the \u201csupremacy of strength,\u201d which are primarily mentioned as directed at the U.S. The document advocates for a balanced and sustainable international security architecture, the peaceful resolution of conflicts, and a rejection of interference, sanctions, and hegemonism.<\/p><p>However, these peaceful overtures stand in stark contrast to China\u2019s military trajectory. Its defense budget is the\u00a0<strong>second-largest in the world<\/strong>, with a projected 7.5% increase in 2025 and a military modernization goal to achieve a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gisreportsonline.com\/r\/china-military-expansion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cworld-class military\u201d by 2049<\/a>.<\/p><p>The paper claims to support the international system, with the UN at its core \u2014 a system where China has already significantly expanded its influence. Meanwhile, it <strong>deepens its \u201cno-limits\u201d strategic partnership with Russia<\/strong>, even as the latter wages a war of aggression in Ukraine, declaring it will continue the partnership \u201cregardless of third-party views.\u201d<\/p><p><strong>Europe<\/strong> receives only a brief mention, primarily in the context of joint climate efforts, indicating its limited strategic significance in Beijing\u2019s eyes. In contrast, China portrays itself as a\u00a0<strong>\u201cpeace builder\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0in the Global South and the Middle East.<\/p><p>Domestically, the white paper stresses <strong>\u201cpolitical security\u201d<\/strong> and defending socialism with Chinese characteristics, which is crucial for CCP&#8217;s continuous role. The document references reviving Mao-era grassroots surveillance and control methods such as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/chinamediaproject.org\/the_ccp_dictionary\/fengqiao-experience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fengqiao Experience<\/a>\u201d (\u6953\u6a4b\u7d93\u9a57), signaling tightening internal governance. Further, it emphasizes reforms to China\u2019s national security system, centered on the\u00a0<strong>Central National Security Commission<\/strong> (\u4e2d\u592e\u570b\u5bb6\u5b89\u5168\u59d4\u54e1\u6703), further concentrating power within the CCP.<\/p><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><h2>Why does it matter?<\/h2><p>This is the first time China has issued a comprehensive, public-facing strategic document, similar to those announced by NATO allies as their national security strategies. The purpose of the document is several-fold. It justifies the CCP\u2019s dominant role in all matters of national security, <strong>responds to Western accusations<\/strong>\u00a0that China poses a threat, seeks to\u00a0<strong>position China as a global security provider<\/strong>, and promotes a narrative of China as a\u00a0<strong>peaceful, wise, and technologically advanced superpower<\/strong>.<\/p><p>However, behind the carefully crafted language lies a stark reality. While claiming to safeguard peace, China prepares for major military contingencies. While blaming others for global instability, it supports aggressors like Russia. While presenting itself as a transparent actor, it has concealed past crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, despite now boasting of its \u201cpositive role in the global fight against the pandemic.\u201d<\/p><p>This white paper is not just a strategic document. It is part of the efforts to\u00a0<strong>reshape the global narrative<\/strong>, blurring truth and myth to rewrite collective memory and global history. The CCP is not just responding to criticism \u2014 it is setting the terms of the debate and challenging democracies not to comply.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo: Sixteen security arenas under the \u201cComprehensive National Security Concept\u201d (\u7e3d\u9ad4\u570b\u5bb6\u5b89\u5168\u89c0), Source: Qiu Shi Foto: \u0160estn\u00e1ct oblast\u00ed bezpe\u010dnosti v r\u00e1mci &#8220;Koncept komplexn\u00ed n\u00e1rodn\u00ed bezpe\u010dnosti&#8221; (\u7e3d\u9ad4\u570b\u5bb6\u5b89\u5168\u89c0), Zdroj: Qiu Shi What is happening?
