Development and safety cannot be neglected or deviated. Coordination means that the two are coordinated, interact positively, and complement each other

Development is the hard truth and the key to solving all problems including safety risks

Using new developments to eliminate known hidden dangers and prevent new risks is the necessary meaning of high-quality development

At the special terminal in Yangpu, Hainan, I followed two customs officers from Yangpu Customs to board a freighter that transported wood chips from Vietnam. The crew members are monitored in temperature and checked medically, and enter restaurants, kitchens and other areas to check sanitary conditions and the risk of invasion of foreign species... The "gatekeeper" is meticulous, does not neglect any details, and does not miss any problems, so that the national security barrier will be more solid.

Border health quarantine is only one of the many responsibilities of the customs. From cargo inspection to smuggling and then to tariff collection, the door of openness is wider and wider, and the safe line of defense must be kept firmer. Only by doing safety work ahead and tightening it with a conscientious attitude can the people benefit from it and development can move forward steadily.

Not long ago, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized when listening to the work report of the Jilin Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government: "Coordinate development and security must be held tightly at all times." The time limit of "always" and the strength requirements of "must be tight" reflect the importance of "coordinate development and security".

How to coordinate development and security? Safety production must never be "important to say it, but not to do it" for short-term interests. Flood prevention and control, whether it is material reserves or personnel arrangements, requires planning and implementation in advance. "It is better to be on the verge of nine out of ten precautions than to be available without preparation." Development and security cannot be neglected or deviated. Coordination means that the two are coordinated, interact positively and complement each other.

"Safety is the prerequisite for development." Security is essentially a service for development. In recent years, new technologies, new industries, new business forms and new models such as big data and artificial intelligence have been booming. They rely on software application innovation and are constantly breaking through the dilemma of core technology and equipment being subject to people. Only by building a solid security barrier in the digital age can we firmly grasp the initiative in development.

I feel that safety is a constraint, and when encountering safety requirements, I try every means to avoid it. This practice of "not seeing the mountains of Mount Tai" will only lay hidden dangers for development. Can ecological security be ignored? The ecological damage of the Qilian Mountains in Gansu, illegal villas on the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi, and illegal mining in the Muli mining area in Qinghai and other incidents have been profoundly learned. Should food security be paid attention to? Food waste is not stopped, and the "non-agriculturalization" of arable land is not curbed, and the job of more than 1.4 billion people will definitely not be able to be stable and secure.

"Development is a guarantee of safety." Only by developing can many security problems be solved easily. With the continuous innovation of mine water exploration and release technology and strict implementation of safe production in accordance with the technical process, the probability of mine water permeability accidents can be effectively reduced. The video event detection system based on AI algorithm can alarm abnormal events such as traffic congestion and vehicle reversal, and actively check problems and quickly and accurately position them, providing strong scientific and technological support for better ensuring traffic safety. Development is the hard truth and the key to solving all problems, including security risks.

Development will indeed face challenges, but doing nothing and staying in place will not only fail to ensure safety, but will instead magnify risks, allowing small problems to become big problems, and small contradictions to accumulate into big trouble. The causes of security risks are complex and diverse, and development itself is not its root cause. All kinds of new risks are not a reason to suppress development or not to develop. Using new developments to eliminate known hidden dangers and prevent new risks is a natural issue of high-quality development.

"Security and development must be promoted simultaneously." In 2024, the central government formulated and implemented a package of debt collection plans, shifting from the past "development of debt collection" to "developing Sinochem debt", which has continuously enhanced the ability of local governments to issue bonds, manage debts, control debts, and redeem debts, further stimulated the vitality of the local economy. It is not difficult to understand why "adhering to high-quality development and high-level safe and benign interaction" will become an important understanding of the important regularity of doing a good job in economic work in the new era.

General Secretary Xi Jinping reminded: "At any time we cannot take the path of being impatient, fishing for the river, and only GDP." Coordinate development and security with a sense of responsibility of "always be assured", and not only do the "top priority" of ensuring national security, but also do the "first priority" of development, and Chinese-style modernization will surely move forward steadily.
