On January 20th, the National Disaster Prevention, Mitigation and Relief Committee Office and the Emergency Management Department released the basic situation of China’s national natural disasters in 2023 and the top ten natural disasters in 2023 after consultation and evaluation by the relevant member units.

　　In 2023, floods, typhoons, earthquakes and geological disasters are the main natural disasters in China.

　　In 2023, floods, typhoons, earthquakes and geological disasters are the main natural disasters in China, and droughts, wind and hail, low-temperature freezing and snow disasters, sandstorms and forest and grassland fires also occur to varying degrees. In the whole year, various natural disasters caused 95.444 million people to be affected to varying degrees, 691 people died and disappeared due to disasters, and 3.344 million people were resettled urgently; 209,000 houses collapsed, with 623,000 seriously damaged and 1.441 million generally damaged; The affected area of crops is 10539.3 thousand hectares; The direct economic loss was 345.45 billion yuan. Compared with the average value in the past five years, the number of people affected, the number of people missing due to disasters and the area affected by crops decreased by 24.4%, 2.8% and 37.2% respectively, while the number of houses collapsed and direct economic losses increased by 96.9% and 12.6% respectively.

　　The main features of national natural disasters in 2023 are:

　　one

　　The distribution of natural disasters in China is uneven in time and space, and the pattern of "emphasizing the north and neglecting the south" is obvious.

　　From January to March, except for the drought in southwest China in winter and spring and the major avalanche disaster in Linzhi, Xizang, the disaster situation in the whole country was relatively stable. In early summer, continuous rainy weather occurred in Henan and other places, which adversely affected the summer harvest. In the main flood season, super typhoon "Du Surui", catastrophic flood in Haihe River basin and severe rainstorm and flood in Songliao River basin occurred one after another. In mid-December, low-temperature rain, snow and freezing disasters occurred in Shanxi and other places, which had a great impact on people’s production and life. On December 18, the Jishishan earthquake in Gansu Province with a magnitude of 6.2 caused heavy casualties in Gansu and Qinghai provinces. The number of houses collapsed in the north and south accounted for 92.2% and 7.8% of the total losses in China, respectively, and the direct economic losses accounted for 73.7% and 26.3% respectively.

　　2

　　North China and Northeast China suffered from severe storms and floods, and local geological disasters of mountain torrents suddenly occurred.

　　In 2023, the national average precipitation was 612.9 mm, 3.9% less than normal, and there were 35 regional rainstorms. From the end of May to the beginning of June, there was a large-scale continuous rainy weather in Henan, which overlapped with the mature harvest period of wheat, causing a large range of crops to be affected. During the "Seven Downs and Eight Ups" period, under the influence of the residual cloud system of Typhoon Du Surui, extreme rainstorms occurred in North China and Northeast China, and basin-wide floods occurred in Haihe River, causing heavy casualties and property losses in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and serious flood disasters occurred in Songhua River basin, causing serious disasters in Heilongjiang and Jilin. The geological disasters of mountain torrents in the southwest and northwest are scattered at many points, with heavy casualties in Sichuan, Chongqing and Shaanxi. In the whole year, the flood disaster caused 52.789 million people to be affected to varying degrees, 309 people died and disappeared, 130,000 houses collapsed, and the direct economic loss was 244.57 billion yuan. In addition, there are 3666 geological disasters such as landslides, collapses and mudslides in China, and the disaster level is mainly small, mainly in North China and Southwest China.

　　The number of typhoons and landings is small, and the landing intensity is strong, which brings many extreme rainfalls.

　　In 2023, there were 17 typhoons in the northwest Pacific and South China Sea, which were significantly less than normal, and 6 of them landed in China, which was slightly less than normal. Typhoon "Du Surui" brought heavy rain to Zhejiang and Fujian during its landing, causing local flash floods and waterlogging in some cities. After landing, the circulation was maintained on land for a long time, resulting in extremely heavy rainfall in North China, Huanghuai, Northeast China and other places, causing serious storms and floods; When Typhoon Sura landed, with the cooperation of cold air, it brought large-scale heavy rain to Guangdong and Guangxi. After the typhoon "Anemone" landed, the residual vortex affected South China for a long time, and the precipitation in Fujian and Guangdong exceeded the historical extreme. In 2023, typhoon disasters caused 11.316 million people to be affected to varying degrees, 12 people died and disappeared, more than 7,000 houses collapsed, and the direct economic loss was 47.49 billion yuan.

　　Core reading

　　Understanding and grasping the internal logic of the five strategic advantages will help us to make full use of the strategic advantages, effectively deal with difficulties and challenges, keep the economy running in a reasonable range, and achieve the set goals.

　　During the two sessions of the National People’s Congress this year, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly expounded the strategic advantages of China’s development from five aspects: the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the remarkable advantages of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, the solid foundation for sustained and rapid development and accumulation, the long-term stable social environment, and the spiritual strength of self-confidence. It is of great significance to deeply understand and grasp the historical logic, theoretical logic and realistic logic contained in these five strategic advantages for us to effectively deal with the difficulties and challenges faced by current economic development under the background of the interwoven changes in the past century and the epidemic situation in the century, and for comprehensively promoting socialist modernization and smoothly realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　On strategic advantages from the perspective of historical logic

　　From the historical logic, five strategic advantages were created and established by the Communist Party of China (CPC) in the historical process of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leading position is the choice of history and people. Since its establishment, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has always regarded seeking happiness for the people of China and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation as its initial heart and mission, united and led the people to create great achievements in the new-democratic revolution, socialist revolution and construction, reform, opening up and socialist modernization, Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era and pushed the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation into an irreversible historical process. History has fully proved that without the Communist Party of China (CPC), there would be no new China and no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s strong leadership has provided a fundamental guarantee for us to calmly deal with various major risk challenges.

　　Socialism with Chinese characteristics system is a scientific system formed by the party uniting and leading the people in long-term practice and exploration. After the founding of New China, the Party United and led the people to complete the socialist revolution, eliminated all exploitation systems, and achieved the most extensive and profound social changes in the history of the Chinese nation. Entering the new era of reform, opening up and socialist modernization, the Party has resolutely promoted the reform of economic system, at the same time, carried out institutional and institutional reforms in political, cultural and social fields, pushed forward the new great project of Party building, successfully created Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and constantly adhered to and developed the vibrant Socialism with Chinese characteristics system in line with contemporary China’s national conditions. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has focused on the long-term governance of the Party and the long-term stability of the country, and made an overall plan to uphold and improve the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, promote the maturity and finalization of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, further consolidate and highlight its institutional advantages, and provide a fundamental guarantee for us to resist risk challenges and improve the efficiency of national governance.

　　Under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the strong guarantee of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, the party leaders have completed the industrialization process that developed countries have gone through for hundreds of years in just a few decades, creating a miracle of rapid economic development and long-term social stability that is rare in the world. China’s economic strength, scientific and technological strength, national defense strength and comprehensive national strength have been significantly enhanced, and the foundation for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has become more solid; People’s sense of acquisition, happiness and security have been significantly enhanced, the level of social governance has been continuously improved, and society has remained stable for a long time; China people’s enthusiasm, initiative and creativity have been further stimulated, and their ambition, backbone and confidence have been unprecedentedly enhanced. The party’s heart, army’s heart and people’s hearts are high and inspiring, and their spiritual strength of self-confidence and self-improvement is growing stronger. All these provide us with strategic favorable conditions for coping with various risk challenges, promoting high-quality development and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　On strategic advantages from the perspective of theoretical logic

　　From the perspective of theoretical logic, the five strategic advantages profoundly embody Marxist standpoints and methods, such as strategic thinking, systematic thinking, Marxist material view and the law of mutual change of quality.

　　Reflects the strategic thinking. Strategic thinking is the overall and long-term thinking, the thinking mode of planning and guiding around the overall and long-term major issues, and the important embodiment of Marxist methodology in thinking mode. If a country wants to gain a firm foothold and seek development in the complicated international and domestic situation, it cannot do without strategic thinking. For China, a developing country with the largest population in the world, strategic thinking is even more indispensable. The five strategic advantages are that General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, starting from the overall situation of the cause of the party and the country, stands at the height of coordinating the overall situation of the great rejuvenation strategy of the Chinese nation and the unprecedented changes in the world in the past century, combines the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of the new development stage, adheres to the problem orientation, respects the law of development, and uses strategic thinking to make an incisive summary of China’s overall, fundamental and long-term competitive advantages, which fully reflects our party’s adherence to and application of the basic methods of Marxism.

　　It embodies systematic thinking. The five strategic advantages refine the strategic advantages of China’s development from multiple dimensions, such as leadership, institutional characteristics, material foundation, social environment and spiritual strength. They are the decoding of the miracle of China’s economic and social development from the perspective of strategic overall situation by using systematic thinking, and also profoundly reveal the root of our continuing to create new and greater miracles.

　　It embodies the Marxist view of matter. Marxism holds that matter determines consciousness, and consciousness reacts on matter. Material determines consciousness, which requires us to insist on proceeding from reality and seeking truth from facts. The five strategic advantages are precisely the generalization and summary made from the reality of China’s economic and social development and seeking truth from facts. For example, the solid foundation accumulated by sustained and rapid development and the long-term stable social environment have enhanced the people’s spiritual strength of self-confidence, which in turn has promoted the accumulation of material foundation and the maintenance of a stable social environment.

　　It embodies the law of mutual change of quality. Strategic advantages such as material foundation, social environment and spiritual strength are gradually accumulated and formed. With the continuous strengthening of the Party’s overall leadership and the improvement of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, the material foundation for China’s development has been continuously consolidated, the social environment has been stable for a long time, and spiritual strength has been continuously gathered. The overall, fundamental and long-term strength of China’s economic and social development has been continuously enhanced, which has pushed China’s development into a new stage, changed the main social contradictions, and entered an irreversible historical process to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　On strategic advantages from realistic logic

　　From the perspective of realistic logic, five strategic advantages are the obvious advantages of China’s development in the new era and new journey, and are also the important basis for our party to make a scientific judgment that China’s development is still in an important period of strategic opportunities, and overall opportunities outweigh challenges, which embodies our party’s deepening understanding of the laws of China’s economic and social development.

　　The five strategic advantages are interdependent and dialectically unified, and converge into a powerful force to promote China’s economic and social development, which embodies Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s advantages in road, theory, system and culture, and provides an important source of strength for realizing the country’s prosperity, national rejuvenation and people’s happiness. The party’s strong leadership grasps the direction of progress and condenses the great strength of endeavor; The remarkable advantages of Socialism with Chinese characteristics system guarantee development and progress; The solid foundation of sustained and rapid development has created favorable conditions for high-quality development; Long-term and stable social environment ensures development safety; The spiritual strength of self-confidence and self-improvement strengthens the confidence to move forward. It is precisely because of these five strategic advantages that we will be able to cope with the severe impact of the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020 and become the only country among major economies to achieve positive economic growth; In the case of frequent domestic epidemics this year and drastic fluctuations in commodity prices caused by the Ukrainian crisis, the economy started smoothly in the first quarter and prices and employment remained basically stable. Five strategic advantages not only provide a solid foundation for us to create and seize development opportunities, but also enhance our confidence and strength in coping with various risk challenges.

　　Make full use of strategic advantages

　　At present, major new changes have taken place in the international situation, and the task of domestic reform, development and stability is arduous and arduous. In this context, a deep understanding and grasp of the internal logic of the five strategic advantages will help us to make full use of the strategic advantages, effectively deal with difficulties and challenges, keep the economy running in a reasonable range, and achieve the set goals.

　　Strengthen the overall leadership of the Party and uphold and improve the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system. The party’s leadership is the fundamental guarantee for doing well the work of the party and the country, and it is also the fundamental political guarantee for calmly coping with various major risks and challenges. Socialism with Chinese characteristics system is an advanced system with distinctive China characteristics, obvious institutional advantages and strong self-improvement ability, and it is the core password of "the rule of China". We should strengthen the Party’s overall leadership, adhere to and improve the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, accelerate the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, and better transform the Party’s overall leadership and the remarkable advantages of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system into governance efficiency and a powerful supporting force to cope with the downward pressure on the economy and maintain macroeconomic stability.

　　Grasp the historical initiative and take the road of China. Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road is a broad road to create a better life for the people and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, but the road ahead cannot be smooth sailing. In the face of all kinds of complicated situations and risk challenges, we must hold our destiny in our own hands, and we must be firm and determined to remain unchanged. We should strengthen Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s road confidence, theoretical confidence, institutional confidence and cultural confidence, constantly improve the development level of social productive forces and people’s living standards in China, and make Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s road wider and wider. Maintain strategic strength, not be afraid of any risks, not be confused by any interference, concentrate on doing your own thing well, strive to achieve the set goals with the persistence of insisting that Castle Peak will not relax, and unremittingly promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with the sober mind of those who walk a hundred miles.

　　Combine the firmness of strategy with the flexibility of strategy. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Strategy and strategy are dialectical and unified, and the firmness of strategy should be combined with the flexibility of strategy." Strategy is to make judgments and decisions from the overall situation, long-term and general trend. The right strategy needs the right strategy to implement. Strategy serves strategy under the guidance of strategy. The more complicated the situation is and the task is arduous, the more flexible it is to maintain the strategy, combine solving specific problems with solving deep-seated contradictions, and realize the dialectical unity of strategic firmness and strategic flexibility. Faced with the current downward pressure on the economy, we must firmly grasp the strategic choice of building a new development pattern to cope with the opportunities and challenges in the new development stage and implement the new development concept, unswervingly deepen the supply-side structural reform, accelerate the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and build a strong and resilient national economic circular system; It is also necessary to efficiently coordinate epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, increase macro-policy adjustment, and solidly stabilize the economy.

　　Five strategic advantages are an organic whole of dialectical unity. Among them, the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s strong leadership is at the core. Under the strong leadership of the Party, the remarkable advantages of Socialism with Chinese characteristics system have been brought into full play, China’s sustained and rapid development has accumulated a solid foundation, cultivated a long-term stable social environment, and condensed the spiritual strength of self-confidence, which in turn helps to further strengthen the overall leadership of the Party and promote the full play of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s institutional advantages. Making good use of the five strategic advantages will surely enhance the strategic advantages of China’s development and push the Chinese nation towards a great rejuvenation at an unstoppable pace.
