Using a Sound Institutional Framework to Prevent and Mitigate Risks

Аннотация

One of the guiding principles for China’s drive to further comprehensively deepen reform is to prioritise institutional reforms. The world today is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century, resulting in prevalent instability and uncertainty globally. To effectively prevent and defuse various risks and challenges, we must fully rely on institutions and use institutional certainty to counteract the uncertainty of risks. Socialism with Chinese characteristics has extraordinary capabilities of organisation, coordination and implementation. This institutional strength is the fundamental guarantee underpinning the ability to resist risks and challenges, enhance governance effectiveness, and maintain national security and social stability. To leverage institutions more effectively for risk prevention and mitigation, it is essential to build a sound institutional framework, enhance institutional enforcement capacity, and cultivate widespread institutional awareness in society, thereby providing a more comprehensive, stable, and practical institutional framework by making various systems more mature, well-defined and effective, and ultimately transforming the institutional strengths into risk prevention and control effectiveness.
