Red Flag Manuscript published an article on the relationship between political security and political system reform. “Political security is an important component of national security. … It is the fundamental symbol of national security and the supreme goal of China’s national interest. Only when political security is ensured, can there be the security required for China to seek and safeguard the economy, science and technology, culture, society, ecology and other areas. … The key to ensuring political security and the realistic path to success in China’s political system reform lies in expanding citizens’ participation in politics, upholding the rule of law, and increasing the level of institutionalization of participation in politics, all under the leadership of the Party.”
