Capacity building on national security should be bolstered in emerging
domains, including cyberspace, data, AI, biology, ecology, nuclear energy,

outer space, deep sea, the polar regions, and low-altitude airspace. We should
improve our ability to prevent and defuse risks in key sectors, taking
coordinated steps to address those related to real estate, local government

debt, small and medium financial institutions, and other areas in a
well-ordered manner. This will enable us to guard against systemic risks.
51. Enhancing public safety governance

The public safety system should be improved to drive a shift toward a
prevention-based governance model. We should strengthen the monitoring,
forecasting, and early warning of meteorological, hydrological, and geological

disasters; enhance our capacity for disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief
and for major public emergency response and support; and step up our work
in emergency response command, workplace safety, and food and drug safety.

Greater efforts should be devoted to making our critical infrastructure
intrinsically safer in order to effectively prevent major and serious accidents.
We need to further develop our integrated system and capacity for

maintaining law and order. We should ensure that responsibility for
protecting social stability is fulfilled, encourage broader public participation
in crime prevention and control, build robust mechanisms for combating and

rooting out organized crime on an ongoing basis, and redouble efforts to
prevent and crack down on telecom and online fraud and drug-related crime.
The well-regulated development of integrated governance centers should

be advanced. We should enhance comprehensive cybersecurity governance
and better protect personal information. We should step up efforts to prevent
and control juvenile delinquency. We should fully and faithfully implement

the policy of severity tempered by leniency in handling criminal cases, punish
illegal and criminal activities in accordance with the law, and improve the
quality and efficiency of penal decision enforcement.
52. Improving the social governance system

To modernize social governance, we should adhere to systematic,
law-based, and holistic approaches to addressing issues at source and

improve the social governance system based on collaboration, participation,
and benefit sharing. We should also improve the institutions and mechanisms
for social work and refine the legal and policy frameworks for social
governance. Party building initiatives should be enhanced in new types of

economic and social organizations and among groups in new forms of
