The "Decision" of the Sixth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China pointed out when analyzing the world cultural development situation: the task of maintaining national cultural security is more arduous; when elaborating on the important principles of my country's cultural reform and development, it stated: We must effectively maintain National cultural security. So, what does cultural safety mean? How to effectively safeguard national cultural security?

Culture is the blood of the nation, the spiritual home of the people, and plays an important role in economic and social development. Cultural security mainly refers to a state in which a culture is not replaced or assimilated by other cultures, maintains its own uniqueness, independence, integrity, and is continuously passed on and developed. National cultural security mainly means that the mainstream cultural system of a sovereign country has not been eroded and destroyed by other cultures, and that it can completely maintain its own cultural traditions and national characteristics, maintain the diversity of world culture, and expand its cultural influence. Specifically, national cultural security mainly includes maintaining the cultural identity of the country, respecting the value of national culture, protecting cultural resources and heritage, and inheriting cultural traditions. National cultural security can also be divided into values ​​security, language security, cultural resource security, customs security, lifestyle security, cultural talent security, etc. National cultural security is a non-traditional security element that together with traditional security elements such as national political security, economic security, national security, and homeland security constitutes the national security system.

Currently, with the development of economic globalization and informatization, the form, speed and intensity of cultural communication have undergone unprecedented changes, and cultural exchanges have become increasingly frequent and in-depth. Some countries, especially Western developed countries, rely on their economic strength, technological advantages, marketing methods and political promotion to penetrate other countries culturally, seriously affecting the cultural security of these countries. Judging from the actual situation, China is an important target for cultural penetration by some countries. The development of our country's culture is facing various threats and challenges, and the task of maintaining national cultural security is very arduous. For example, in the field of ideology, some Western hostile forces have never given up their attempts to "Westernize" and "differentiate" us, and have taken frequent actions; in the field of cultural exchanges, Western cultural products (especially film and television products and animation games), languages Texts, academic theories, festival customs, etc. have impacted our country’s traditional culture, mainstream values, social sciences, and lifestyles, and cultural hegemony has been highlighted. In this context, emphasizing "effectively safeguarding national cultural security" has important practical significance and far-reaching historical significance.

To effectively safeguard our country’s national cultural security, the key is to rely on cultural construction. Under the new situation, we should adhere to the path of socialist cultural development with Chinese characteristics, vigorously promote the construction of the socialist core value system, comprehensively enhance our country's cultural soft power, and strive to build a socialist cultural power to safeguard national cultural security. In practice, we need to focus on the following aspects. The first is to strengthen the construction of cultural innovation capabilities. Cultural advancement is the fundamental guarantee for national cultural security, and strong cultural innovation capabilities are the basis for maintaining cultural advancement. The stronger a country's cultural innovation capability and the more advanced its culture, the less impact its culture will receive from foreign cultures, and vice versa. We should fully implement the "Two Welfare" direction and the "Double Hundred" policy, and vigorously promote cultural innovation. The second is to accelerate the development of my country’s cultural industry. Compared with developed countries in the world, the development of my country's cultural industry started late and is weak. This is an important reason why my country does not have a strong cultural voice, has a large cultural trade deficit, and the cultural security situation is not optimistic. We should increase investment in the cultural industry, encourage the flow of capital from different social entities to the cultural industry, rapidly expand the cultural industry, realize the transformation of my country from a country with cultural resources to a powerful country with cultural industries, and allow our country's cultural products to withstand the ups and downs in the international market. Upgrade and gradually improve international competitiveness. The third is to innovate the cultural going global model. "Innovating the cultural going global model" is an important task proposed by the Sixth Plenary Session of the 17th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, which is of great significance to safeguarding national cultural security. We should focus on enhancing the attraction, affinity and appeal of Chinese culture, reducing the misunderstanding, misunderstanding and misjudgment of Chinese culture by the international community, innovating ways of external cultural exchanges, promoting Chinese culture to the world, and continuously enhancing the international influence of Chinese culture , showing our country’s civilized, democratic, open and progressive image.
