Print Edition
President Xi Jinping will head China’s new national security commission, it was announced yesterday.
The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee decided to appoint Premier Li Keqiang and top legislator Zhang Dejiang as the commission’s deputy heads, according to a bureau statement.
The commission, which will answer to the Political Bureau and its standing committee, will be the CPC Central Committee agency responsible for decision-making, deliberation and coordination on national security work. It will be in charge of “making overall plans and coordinating major issues and major work concerning national security.”
A decision made at the Third Plenum of the 18th CPC Central Committee last November first came up with the idea of establishing a national security commission.
Explaining the proposed commission’s main responsibilities, Xi said, “Establishing a national security commission to strengthen the unified leadership of state security work is an urgent need.”
The responsibilities of the commission will include construction of the rule of law system concerning state security, research, resolving major issues of national security, setting principles and policies.
“State security and social stability are preconditions for reform and development,” Xi said, adding that only when the nation is safe and society is stable can reform and development constantly advance.
Experts said the commission is expected to design a top-level strategy which will improve the efficiency of dealing with emergencies that concern state security and interests.
