A Study On The Public Security Work Thought Of The Communist Party Of China Since The Reform And Opening Up

The public security work aims to maintain the national security and social stability,facilitate the social fairness and justice and guarantee people's livelihood and prosperity.Over the past 40 years of reform and opening-up,China has created the"Two Miracles" of sustained and healthy economic development and safeguarding the security and stability of society,which makes it one of the most secure countries in the world.Such achievements not only embodies the hard work of the national public security agencies,but also highlights the outstanding wisdom and ability of the Communist Party of China in governing the country.Over the four decades of reform and opening up,the Communist Party of China has always placed the public security work in an important position which is related with the security of the state power and social stability.In the process of gradually advancing the cause of socialist public security with Chinese characteristics,based on assimilating the elite theory of the domestic and international public security work,guided by the Marxism State Doctrine and Proletarian Dictatorship Theory,closely combined and promoted the Reform and Opening Up with the Modernization,the CPC thoroughly explored and answered significant theoretical and practical questions such as the nature,status,responsibility,focus and building of subjects of the public security work and formed a comprehensive and scientific public security work system with Chinese Characteristics.Deeply excavating and systematically sorting out the CPC's public security work thought has huge theoretical and practical significance in promoting the study of theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and providing a theoretical reference for further advancing the public security work in the new era.In order to research on the CPC's public security work thought since the reform and opening up,we need to discuss and analyze in the mutual observation and two-way interaction between international and domestic,history and reality,theory and practice.To achieve this,we must insist on using Marxist worldview and methodology as the theoretical basis to analyze and solve problems,comprehensively using literature analysis methods,the integration of logic and history,the combination of theory and practice,comparative research and inductive summarization to conduct a comprehensive,systematic and in-depth study of the CPC's public security work thought since the reform and opening up.The formation and development of the CPC's public security thought in the course of reform and opening up is the inevitable result of the mutual influence and comprehensive efforts of various factors.Genetics tells us that the generation and development of any theory and thought are inseparable from specific historical conditions.They all have their inevitable basis of occurrence,and are necessarily the product of social practice.The opportunities and challenges brought by international and domestic factors such as globalization and social transformation to public security work are the background of its formation and development.The hard exploration by the CPC in public security work is the most direct and important practical basis for its formation and development since the founding of new China especially in the course of reform and opening up.Marxist world outlook and methodology,Marxist state theory and the theory of the dictatorship of the proletariat,and Mao Zedong's public security work are the theoretical sources of its formation and development.Since the reform and opening up,the development of the CPC's public security work has gone through a process.Its historical process can be divided into four stages.In the first stage,from 1978 to 1992,represented by Deng Xiaoping,the CPC decisively ended the period of class struggle during the historical turning period from chaos to reform and opening up.On the foundation of Mao Zedong's public security work thought,they raised and adhered to the "Four Basic Principles".Led by democratic and legal thoughts they cracked down on crimes in accordance with the law.They have formed a guideline of public security work with "Stability overwhelms everything" as the general requirement and created a new situation for the development of the public security work thought.In the second stage,from 1992 to 2002,represented by Jiang Zemin,the CPC established and promoted the construction of a socialist market economic system.Led by the idea of governing the country according to law,they worked hard to strengthen the legal construction of public security work.The ideological system of public security work with the general requirements of“Stressing politics,the legal system and service”has promoted the CPC's public security work thought to a new level since the reform and opening up.In the third stage,from 2002 to 2012,represented by Hu Jintao,the CPC focused on strengthening the standardization of public security work in the historical period of building a well-off society and a harmonious socialist society.They created a public security work ideology of establishing the police for the public and enforcing law strictly and fairly for the people as the general requirements and comprehensively promoted the vigorous development of the public security work thought.In the fourth stage,since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012,represented by Xi Jinping,the CPC has scientifically judged the historical position of our country,accurately grasped the major contradictions in our society and comprehensively promoted the rule of law and the construction of socialist rule of law.Adhering to the overall national security concept and the idea of building a safe China,their goal is to continuously meet the higher needs of the people for democracy,the rule of law,fairness,justice and security,with emphasis on strictly regulating fair and civilized law enforcement and promoting social fairness and justice.Comprehensively deepening the reform of public security,a public security work ideology was formed with the general requirements of "being loyal to the party,serve the people with fair law enforcement and strict discipline",which has promoted the innovative development of the public security work thought.Since the reform and opening up,the CPC's public security thought has rich contents.Its basic contents include the following:The question of "what is public security work" explains the nature,status,responsibilities and mission of public security work.The question of "why do public security work" explains its value orientation.The question of "how to do public security work" explains its fundamental principles,policies and measures.The question of "who does public security work" explains the subject construction of the public security work.Public security work is an important part of the people's democratic dictatorship in China.It shoulders the mission of safeguarding national political security,ensuring the stability of the overall situation of the society,promoting social fairness and justice,and ensuring people's livelihood and prosperity,which answers the question of "what is public security work".Regarding the mass line as the lifeline of public security work,the maintenance of public security must be fully motivated and dependent on the people.People's satisfaction is the fundamental standard of public security work.Adhering to the overall national security concept and striving to build a safe China answers the question of "Why do we do public security work".The question of "how to do public security work" is answered by adhering to the party's absolute leadership,correct handling of two types of contradictions of different natures,adhering to the combination of special,systematic,comprehensive,law-based and source-orientated governance,adhering to strict and standardized law enforcement in justice and civilized manner,adhering to strengthening the police with reform and in the perspective of science and technology.The question of "who does public security work" is answered by adhering to politically building police and comprehensively strengthening the ideological and political construction of public security teams,administering the police strictly and strengthening the standardization of public security teams in accordance with the law,strengthening police quality and effectively improving the combat effectiveness of public security teams.The contents above are interconnected with and interdependent on each other,making a complete ideological system.Since the reform and opening up,the CPC's public security thought has distinctive characteristics.From the perspective of generation method and process,it bears the characteristics of times,inheriting from the pas and serving the practice.From the perspective of content composition,it has the characteristics of science,politics and rule of law.From the perspective of essential attributes and value orientation,it has the characteristics of belonging to the people.The CPC's public security work thought has significant theoretical value and practical meanings in the course of reform and opening up.Its theoretical value mainly lies in:inheriting and developing the Marxist national doctrine,enriching and developing Mao Zedong's public security work thought.It is an important part of the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and an ideological guide for public security work in the new era.Its practical value lies in:scientifically leading the overall development of public security work,effectively promoting the reform and innovation of the public security system,effectively promoting the construction of public security under the rule of law,providing a strong guarantee for economic construction and national security,social stability,and the stability of the people.It has an important position in the history of the party's public security work.It has developed the classic Marxist and Mao Zedong' s thought on public security work in the qualitative positioning of public security work,the principles,lines,guidelines,strategies that public security work should adhere to and the construction of the subjects of public security work.At the same time,it has effectively coordinated the overall development of public security work,providing a powerful ideological tool for public security work and the building of public security teams.In the new practice,we must further adhere to and develop the thought of public security work of the Communist Party of China since the reform and opening up.We must adhere to and develop the CPC's thought of public security work in summing up experience.Its basic experience,in short,is mainly manifested in our consistent adherence to the guiding ideology of Marxism and Sinicized Marxist theory,the fundamental principle of the CPC's absolute leadership over public security work and its obedience to and serving the CPC's central work and adherence to the fundamental value of people's public security serving the people and the methodology of dialectical thought,rule of law and so on.We must adhere to and develop the CPC's public security thought in the close integration of theory and practice.By strengthening the theoretical beliefs and improving the education methods of public security officers,we transform the CPC's public security thought into policies,institutions and operation systems of the public security work,meeting the needs of public security officers.Guiding public security officers with this thought,we can adhere to and develop the CPC's public security thought in solving practical problems,satisfying the requirements of the times and understanding of the relationship between adherence and development.It should not be abandoned because it is out of date with limitations of historical conditions.Nor should it be regarded as the ultimate theory to be followed as rigid dogma.It is necessary to adhere to the basic principles and scientific spirit of the CPC's public security work thought since the reform and opening up,especially to adhere to the important thinking of Xi Jinping on public security work.
