Ensure national energy security and build a strong line of defense for confidentiality

In the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "in-depth promotion of the energy revolution" and "ensuring the security of energy resources". Energy is the food of industry and the lifeblood of the national economy, which is related to the survival and development of mankind, the national economy, people's livelihood and national security. As early as 2014, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward a new energy security strategy of "four revolutions and one cooperation", drawing a grand blueprint for energy reform and development. The Central Economic Work Conference held at the end of 2021 also emphasized that "it is necessary to further promote the energy revolution and accelerate the construction of an energy power", pointing out the direction for the high-quality development of China's energy in the new era.

Energy is related to economic prosperity and development and long-term social stability, and it is an inevitable requirement for the construction of an energy power to promote the revolution of energy production and consumption, hold the strategic bottom line of self-sufficiency in domestic production of important energy, and effectively ensure national energy security. To ensure national energy security, we must stand at the height of strategy and the overall situation, unswervingly implement the overall national security concept, continue to strengthen the concept of security and confidentiality and risk prevention awareness, and effectively implement the security and confidentiality requirements throughout the whole process of energy work in all aspects.

Strengthen goal orientation

The service guarantees the high-quality development of energy in the new era

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have comprehensively promoted the reform of energy consumption patterns, built a diversified and clean energy supply system, played the role of the first driving force of scientific and technological innovation, comprehensively deepened the reform of the energy system to release market vitality, and strengthened international cooperation in energy in all aspects.

The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized that it is necessary to strengthen security capacity building in key areas, further promote the energy revolution, and accelerate the planning and construction of a new energy system. To thoroughly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions and the decision-making and deployment of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on energy work, it is necessary to better coordinate development and security, grasp safety in combination with high-quality energy development, and achieve the same planning, deployment and implementation of business work and safety considerations.

First, we must ensure the security of energy infrastructure. In recent years, in the international context of violent fluctuations in the energy market, China has given full play to the advantages of the system and mechanism, optimized the management of the energy industry, strengthened scientific decision-making, the safe and orderly operation of energy infrastructure, the supply of oil and gas, coal and electricity has been strong, and the domestic energy price has been generally stable. However, it is also necessary to be soberly aware that China's dependence on foreign oil and natural gas is as high as 70% and 40% respectively, and there are still shortcomings and weaknesses in the security protection of energy infrastructure, and there are still great challenges in ensuring the safe and stable supply of energy. Therefore, we must be based on the basic national conditions and energy resource endowment, correctly handle the relationship between energy supply and energy security, not only to establish a comprehensive energy supply system such as coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear energy, renewable energy, etc., but also to actively take effective protective measures for the risks and hidden dangers of domestic large-scale hydropower stations, nuclear power plants, backbone power grids, oil and gas pipeline networks and other energy infrastructure, and effectively ensure the security of national energy infrastructure.

Second, we must create a safe environment for energy transition and development. China is the world's largest energy consumer, with a large total base and a relatively high proportion of carbon emissions from energy consumption, so the task of promoting carbon peak and carbon neutrality is arduous. Some contradictions and problems in the development of energy transition are often the focus of foreign hostile forces that want to steal and attack. They are keeping a close eye on China's energy sector and stepping up the collection of all kinds of data and information in order to distort and slander China's energy strategic planning, transformation and development, and interfere with China's hard-won security and stability environment. To promote the green and low-carbon transformation of energy, we must correctly understand the basic national conditions that China is still in the initial stage of socialism, rationally look at the practical problems in the development process of fossil energy consumption accounting for a relatively large proportion and high energy consumption per unit of GDP, and predict the possible public opinion in advance, and deal with it in a timely manner, so as to provide a safe external environment for the healthy development of the energy field, so as to support the smooth and orderly operation of the economy and society.

Third, we must ensure the safety of key core energy technologies. In recent years, China has continuously increased its originality and leading energy science and technology research, continued to promote high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement in the energy industry, established a national energy R&D and innovation platform, launched two batches of the first (set) major technical equipment demonstration application in the energy field, completed and put into operation a large number of world-leading century projects such as the "Hualong No. 1" nuclear power unit, the "Shenhai No. 1" oil and gas platform, and the Baihetan Hydropower Station, and made great breakthroughs in the energy field's independent innovation capabilities and major equipment technology levels. Many energy technologies have gradually changed from following and running to leading. These key technologies with first-mover advantages and basic cutting-edge technologies leading future development are the core competitiveness of the country and the focus of foreign hostile forces.

Fourth, we must strengthen international cooperation in energy and standardize management. China has always adhered to the principle of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation in international energy cooperation, established intergovernmental energy cooperation mechanisms with more than 90 countries and regions, and established cooperative relations with more than 30 international organizations and multilateral mechanisms in the energy field. The "Belt and Road" Energy Partnership Forum and the International Energy Transformation Forum initiated by China have played an important role in international energy cooperation, so that China's voice and influence in the international energy market have been effectively enhanced. However, it should also be noted that a series of profound and complex changes have taken place in the external environment facing China, and the complexity and arduousness of national security issues have increased significantly.

Stick to bottom-line thinking

Deeply understand the new situation and new challenges faced by the security and confidentiality work in the energy field

At present, the world is undergoing major changes unseen in a century, geopolitical conflicts continue to intensify, various uncertain and unpredictable factors have increased significantly, and the risks and challenges faced by the energy sector are increasing day by day, which has also brought unprecedented pressure to ensure the security of state secrets. At present, it is necessary to have a profound understanding of the new tasks and challenges in security and confidentiality work, and earnestly enhance the ideological, political, and operational consciousness of doing a good job in security and confidentiality work.

First, it is necessary to study and thoroughly understand the principles and requirements of the overall national security concept. The overall concept of national security is an important part of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and is a major strategic idea guiding national security work. To do a good job in the new era of energy security and confidentiality, we must further improve our political position, deeply understand the decisive significance of the "two establishments", continuously enhance the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidences", and achieve the "two maintenances", and earnestly put the study and implementation of the overall national security concept in a more prominent position, deeply understand the ideological essence and core essence, flexibly use systematic thinking and scientific methods, actively prevent and resolve the security and confidentiality risks in the energy field, and resolutely adhere to the bottom line of no leakage of secrets.

The second is to accurately grasp the risks and challenges faced by energy security. Energy is the foundation and driving force of economic and social development, and energy security has become the strategic focus of major power games and political decision-making. At present, China is in a critical period of promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization, and the energy industry is facing complex domestic and foreign environments. The Ukraine crisis continues to evolve and escalate, the international energy market fluctuates violently, and various "black swan" and "gray rhinoceros" events in the energy field occur from time to time, bringing severe challenges to China's energy security. With the profound changes in the energy development environment at home and abroad, the struggle between theft and anti-theft, infiltration and anti-infiltration, containment and anti-containment in the energy field will become more acute.

The third is to take the initiative to adapt to the development and changes of the security and confidentiality environment. With the rapid development of information technology and mobile Internet, the widespread use of intelligent applications, and the profound involvement of social media in people's lives, cyberspace has become the hardest hit area for loss of secrets and the main battlefield for anti-theft and anti-leakage. In the face of the new situations and new challenges brought about by the development of network information technology, it is necessary to firmly establish a bottom-line thinking, continuously improve the level of network secrecy management and technical support capabilities, and resolutely win the war of secrecy in cyberspace.

Pay close attention to organizational guarantees

Comprehensively consolidate the responsibility for confidentiality work in the energy field

In the new era and new journey, the energy field must strengthen its mission, do a good job of confidentiality work with a sense of responsibility and a promising mental state, and better assume the responsibility and mission of ensuring national energy security and promoting high-quality energy development.

Adhere to the principle of party management and confidentiality. Therefore, it is necessary to play a leading role in politics, incorporate confidentiality work into the important agenda of party organizations at all levels, coordinate the study of confidentiality and energy business work, and ensure that the two always maintain the correct political direction; It is necessary to strengthen the implementation of the responsibility system for confidentiality work, strengthen the supervision and assessment of the implementation of the responsibility system for confidentiality work, and ensure that the guidelines and policies for confidentiality work are implemented in place in the energy field; It is necessary to strengthen the construction of confidentiality work institutions, improve the organizational system of confidentiality work at all levels in the energy field, allocate and strengthen relevant staff, and perform confidentiality management functions in accordance with laws and regulations.

Carry out publicity and education on confidentiality. To this end, it is necessary to strengthen the education of confidentiality knowledge and confidentiality awareness, regularly carry out training and interpretation of confidentiality laws, regulations and management systems, deepen the understanding and mastery of confidentiality management requirements of staff in various positions, and avoid negligent leakage of secrets and handing over secrets; It is necessary to regularly carry out warning education in cases of leakage of secrets, deeply analyze the internal and external causes of cases of leakage of secrets, give play to the role of using cases as a lesson and using cases as warnings, and build a strong ideological line of defense for the safety and confidentiality of staff in all positions; It is necessary to intensify the propaganda on secrecy, give full play to the fine tradition of secrecy in the nuclear energy, petroleum, and other energy industries, organize and carry out various activities, and actively cultivate a culture of secrecy that keeps secrets and is cautious.

Strengthen confidentiality supervision and inspection. Confidentiality inspection is an important starting point for improving the level of confidentiality management, so it is necessary to strengthen daily confidentiality inspections, regularly carry out confidentiality inspections on key secret-related personnel, secret-related carriers, secret-related networks, secret-related meetings, etc., thoroughly investigate the risk of loss and leakage of secrets, and improve the scientific and standardized level of daily confidentiality management; It is necessary to carry out special inspections of confidentiality in response to new situations and trends in the leakage of secrets on the Internet, promptly investigate hidden dangers in the management of the use of smartphones and social media, and strictly implement the responsibility for information disclosure and confidentiality review; It is necessary to intensify the handling of violations of discipline and law, and those who violate the laws, regulations, and management systems for secrecy and cause the loss and leakage of secrets must be strictly held accountable in accordance with laws and regulations.
