　　On October 9th, the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee held the thirty-sixth collective study on the implementation of the strategy of strengthening the country through the Internet. The Supreme Leader General Secretary pointed out that China should speed up the promotion of its international voice and rule-making power in cyberspace and make unremitting efforts towards the goal of building a strong country through the Internet.

　　Implementing the strategy of strengthening the country by network is an important national strategy put forward in China’s "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", an inevitable requirement for achieving the goal of "two hundred years" and realizing the Chinese nation’s great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream, and also an important part of the new concept, new idea and new strategy of Internet governance of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the general secretary. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the national Internet governance has been steadily advanced and continuously deepened, and the actual effect of network ideological work has begun to gradually emerge. At the critical juncture of the current national development and national rejuvenation, facing the complicated domestic and international situation, it is of great significance to thoroughly study and implement the strategic thinking of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on strengthening the country through the Internet in order to cope with various new opportunities and challenges.

　　First, building a network power is an inevitable requirement for realizing the Chinese dream of national rejuvenation.

　　The Chinese dream of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the great dream of the people of China in modern times. The basic connotation of the Chinese dream is to achieve national prosperity, national rejuvenation and people’s happiness, and the core connotation is the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. This connotation embodies distinct political attributes, highlights rich characteristics of the times, and expresses the ardent expectations of the overwhelming majority of the people. In his speech at the symposium on cyber security and informatization, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that "building a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized and harmonious socialist modern country and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the greatest dream of the people of China since the Opium War and the highest and fundamental interests of the Chinese nation. Today, all the struggles of our more than 1.3 billion people are ultimately to achieve this great goal. " The Chinese dream is a dream of strengthening the country, and the dream of strengthening the country includes building a network power. There are 700 million netizens in China, and the internet is deeply integrated into economic and social development and people’s lives. Building a network power is an inevitable requirement and proper meaning to realize the Chinese dream.

　　Building a network power provides strong support for promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. Internet governance has become the core content of governing the country in modern sovereign countries, and has become the core index to measure the ruling ability and national governance ability of a country’s ruling party. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader attaches great importance to the important role of informatization in the scientific decision-making of the party and the government, and emphasizes it at the height of promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. In his speech at the symposium on network security and informatization, he said that it is necessary to thoroughly study the problems that restrict the efficiency of national governance and the level of public services due to information sharing, resource pooling, and insufficient work coordination. "We propose to promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. Information is an important basis for national governance and should play an important role in this process. It is necessary to promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity by informationization, coordinate the development of e-government, build an integrated online service platform, promote the construction of new smart cities by classification, open up information barriers, build a national information resource sharing system, and better use information technology to perceive social situations. Smooth communication channels and assist scientific decision-making. "

　　As an important spiritual home for people to acquire knowledge, express their demands and exchange their feelings, cyberspace is also an important channel to keep public opinion smooth and interactive. How to manage and make good use of this information platform and carefully safeguard the good ecology of this space is a major issue that party committees and governments at all levels need to seriously consider. In his speech at the symposium on cyber security and informatization, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that "netizens come from ordinary people, and when ordinary people go online, public opinion will also go online. Where the masses are, our leading cadres will go. " "We should absorb constructive opinions in time, help difficulties in time, announce those who don’t understand the situation in time, clarify vague understanding in time, resolve grievances in time, guide and correct wrong views in time, and let the Internet become a new platform for us to communicate with the masses, a new way to understand the masses, get close to them and solve problems for them, and a new channel to carry forward people’s democracy and accept people’s supervision." "Party and government organs and leading cadres at all levels should learn to follow the mass line through the Internet, often go online to see, dive, chat, make a sound, understand what the masses think and wish, collect good ideas and suggestions, and actively respond to netizens’ concerns and doubts. Being good at using the internet to understand public opinion and carry out work is the basic skill for leading cadres to do a good job under the new situation. Cadres at all levels, especially leading cadres, must constantly improve this skill. "

　　Strengthening cyberspace governance also plays an irreplaceable role in doing a good job in network ecological governance. Cyberspace governance should pay attention to give full play to the leading role of socialist core values, give full play to the nourishing function of excellent traditional culture and outstanding achievements of human civilization, and carefully keep this space clear and clear, so as to make it an important spiritual home for the majority of netizens to seek common ground while reserving differences, build consensus, be healthy and healthy. In his important speech at the Second world internet conference, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said, "It is necessary to strengthen the construction of network ethics and network civilization, give play to the guiding role of moral education, nourish cyberspace and repair network ecology with outstanding achievements of human civilization"; At the symposium on network security and informatization, he once again stressed the need to "strengthen the governance of cyberspace according to law, strengthen the construction of network content, strengthen positive online publicity, cultivate a positive, healthy and upward-oriented network culture, nourish people’s hearts and society with socialist core values and outstanding achievements of human civilization, so as to achieve full positive energy and high theme, and create a clean and positive cyberspace for the majority of netizens, especially teenagers."

　　Second, building a network power provides important security for realizing the Chinese dream of national rejuvenation.

　　To realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, national security is of paramount importance. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has stood at the strategic height of national development and national rejuvenation, accurately grasped the new features and trends of national security, put forward the major strategic thinking of the overall national security concept, and planned to embark on a national security road with China characteristics, which has established an important follow-up for safeguarding national security under the new situation. On April 15, 2014, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader presided over the first meeting of the Central National Security Council, pointing out that "it is a top priority for our party to consolidate its ruling position, unite and lead the people to uphold and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics and ensure national security." On April 15th this year, the first National Security Education Day, he also emphasized that "national security is the most basic and universal aspiration of the people. To realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and ensure that people live and work in peace and contentment, national security is a top priority. "

　　Network information security is an important part of national security and occupies an important position in national security. Building a network power and maintaining network security, especially network ideological security, is an important content and key link to implement the overall national security concept and effectively improve the national security guarantee ability and level. Judging from a series of typical events around the world in recent years, network communication has become the most important platform for western hegemonism to export ideology and intervene and infiltrate. Some forces frequently create wars and turmoil in some countries and regions in the world by means of online communication, such as the "color revolution" in Asia, Middle East and North Africa and CIS countries from the end of the 20th century to the beginning of this century, and the "Arab Spring" eventually became the "Arab Winter".

　　With the continuous and unstoppable rise of China’s great powers, it has aroused great vigilance of western hegemonism and power politics. Although we have repeatedly stressed that China will always follow the path of peaceful development, the development goal is to make the 1.3 billion people in China live a good life, and it will not follow the road of national hegemony. However, some international forces are still unwilling to give up the Cold War mentality and use various means to accelerate the implementation of strategic siege and squeeze on China in an attempt to block the historical process of China’s peaceful development and the realization of the strategic goal of "two hundred years". There has been a great deal of evidence that in recent years, western hegemonism has planned to stir up the split of public opinion, hit the mainstream public opinion, and then continue to manipulate and implement cultural infiltration and intervention in China’s frontiers, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan by means of setting topics, manipulating the right to release and interpret events, concocting concepts to "pollute" the party’s leadership and the current system, and taking advantage of the time nodes of major events to actively provoke debates on historical and ideological issues.

　　It should be pointed out that "those who fake benevolence by force dominate." A series of acts of western hegemonism run counter to the current world trend of seeking peace and development, damage the fairness of international norms and directly threaten the existing international governance system. At the same time, however, we should be soberly aware that the Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road is also having an increasingly extensive and profound impact on the world, and the worldwide socialist movement is entering a new round of seeking revitalization, which has posed a great constraint on western hegemonism and power politics. The more at this critical juncture, the more we need to maintain a firm strategic determination, maintain a firm political consciousness, maintain a firm road confidence, theoretical confidence, institutional confidence, and cultural confidence, mobilize the whole party and society to make joint efforts, and vigorously implement the strategy of strengthening the country through the Internet to provide a strong national security guarantee for the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　Third, the ultimate goal of building a network power is to better benefit the people.

　　In the final analysis, the Chinese dream is the people’s dream, which must be realized closely by the people and must continue to benefit the people. The guiding ideology of the 13th Five-Year Plan must follow six principles, the first of which is to adhere to the people’s dominant position, and clearly point out that "we must adhere to the people-centered development ideology, take improving people’s well-being and promoting people’s all-round development as the starting point and the end result of development, develop people’s democracy, safeguard social fairness and justice, guarantee people’s equal participation and equal development rights, and fully mobilize people’s enthusiasm, initiative and creativity." One of the eight points mentioned by the Supreme Leader General Secretary in his important speech at the celebration of the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), "Insist on Do not forget your initiative mind and Keep Moving Forward", "We must firmly believe that the foundation of the party lies in the people and the strength of the party lies in the people, insist on doing everything for the people and relying on the people, give full play to the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the broad masses of the people, and constantly push forward the cause of benefiting the people."

　　The ultimate goal of building a network power is to better benefit the people. Whether it is the "four principles" and "five propositions" put forward at the second world internet conference to promote global Internet development and governance, or the six major issues pointed out at the symposium on network security and informatization, or the emphasis on hardware construction or software construction of network powers; The important speeches of the Supreme Leader General Secretary have repeatedly emphasized that the purpose of building a network power is to contribute to the realization of the Chinese dream of building a well-off society in an all-round way and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and ultimately to better benefit the people. In his important speech at the opening ceremony of the second world internet conference, he pointed out, "‘ Thirteenth Five-Year Plan ’ During the period, China will vigorously implement the network power strategy, national big data strategy, ‘ Internet plus & rsquo; Action plan, develop a positive network culture, expand the space of network economy, and promote the integrated development of Internet and economy and society. Our goal is to make the achievements of Internet development benefit more than 1.3 billion people in China and better benefit the people of all countries. " In his important speech at the symposium on network security and informatization, he once again stressed that "the development of network information business must implement the people-centered development thought." This is an important viewpoint put forward by the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee. We should adapt to the people’s expectations and needs, speed up the popularization of information services, and reduce the application cost.Provide useful, affordable and well-used information services for ordinary people, so that hundreds of millions of people have more sense of gain in sharing the fruits of Internet development. "

　　It is the call of the times to build a network power and help lift the national rejuvenation of the Chinese dream. At present, Socialism with Chinese characteristics has made great achievements, which greatly inspired communist party and various progressive forces in the world and formed a local climax in the overall low tide of the world socialist movement. In his speech at the celebration of the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out, "the Communist Party of China (CPC) led the great victory of the people of China, … … Make the 500-year-old socialist proposition successfully open up the correct road with high reality and feasibility in the most populous country in the world, and let scientific socialism glow with new vitality in the 21 ST century. " China has put forward a series of original "China plans" and issued a series of "China voices" at the level of global governance, which are gaining increasing recognition worldwide and have a wide and profound impact. These provide great strategic opportunities for the construction of China’s network power. We must clearly see and firmly seize these precious opportunities. As General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly stressed: "After several generations of efforts, we have never been so close to the goal of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as we are today, and we have never been more confident and capable of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as we are today. This is an important historical opportunity for the Chinese nation. We must seize it firmly and never miss it.This is the historical responsibility of our generation, our responsibility to the Chinese nation, our responsibility to our predecessors and our responsibility to future generations.
