Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged the country’s judicial and law enforcement authorities to safeguard national security, calling on the courts, prosecutors and public security authorities to “defuse” social and economic risks, and for their continued loyalty to the Communist Party.

Xi’s instructions were delivered during a two-day national conference over the weekend for the country’s zhengfa departments – the political and legal authorities responsible for domestic security.

The instructions were delivered at the virtual meeting by Chen Wenqing, the head of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission, a party body that oversees all security-related matters, according to state news agency Xinhua. Xi did not address the meeting in person.

In his instructions, Xi said judicial and law enforcement departments should “uphold the absolute leadership” of the party, and use their development to support and serve China’s modernisation.

He said they should provide strong security guarantees for “the comprehensive advancement of the construction of a strong nation and the great cause of national rejuvenation”.

Beijing has been placing growing significance on national security, especially over the past year. Xi has also repeated the significance of security issues at high-level meetings.

Xi urged the departments to “resolutely safeguard national security” and “prevent and resolve major security risks”.

He also called for efforts to “resolutely maintain social stability” and “correctly handle internal conflicts among the people”, noting that the “ Fengqiao experience in the new era” should be upheld and developed.

The “Fengqiao experience” refers to a mechanism for mobilising the masses to settle social conflicts at the grass-roots level without needing to involve higher legal bodies. The concept dates back to the times of Mao Zedong and has been promoted by Xi as an integral part of improving social governance.

Xi also stressed the need to maintain order in the socialist market economy, and improve the business environment based on the rule of law.

He called for strengthening the party’s political construction of the judicial and law enforcement departments to “forge a loyal, clean and responsible iron army”.

Public Security Minister Wang Xiaohong presided over the meeting, which was also attended by Zhang Jun, president of the Supreme People’s Court, and Ying Yong, procurator-general of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate.

The meeting also focused on emerging economic crimes, and punishment for offenders who disrupt the country’s socialist market economy, such as by violating financial management rules, financial fraud, and infringing on intellectual property rights, according to state media reports.

Participants also discussed the need to step up a crackdown on telecoms fraud and cross-border gambling.
