Abstract：Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi has delivered a series of important speeches addressing national financial security. These speeches have become integral to both Xi Jinping’s holistic view of national security and Xi Jinping’s economic thought. Xi Jinping’s important statements on national financial security have profound theoretical roots. They not only follow the financial theories of classical Marxist writers but also inherit the financial thoughts of Chinese Communists, achieving the Sinicization of Marxist financial theory.General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasizes that “financial security is an important component of national security. Safeguarding financial security is a strategic and fundamental issue that impacts the overall landscape of China’s economic and social development”. Also, He underscores that financial security is a critical foundation for the stable and healthy development of the economy. Preventing and resolving financial risks is a necessary step for achieving high-quality development. On the basis of clarifying the strategic positioning of national financial security, General Secretary Xi Jinping has laid out the strategic approach and important principles for safeguarding national financial security. He emphasizes the need to “stick to bottom-line thinking”, “strengthen the Party’s leadership over financial work”, “adhere to a systemic concept” and “follow the principles of marketization and rule of law”. In safeguarding national financial security, General Secretary Xi Jinping has not only outlined strategic approaches and important principles but has also provided profound elaboration at the methodological level. These have become important guidelines for maintaining national financial security in the new era and journey ahead. General Secretary Xi emphasizes the need to “take measures to address financial risk points”, “strengthen the national financial security defense” and “enhance the capacity of financial services to serve the real economy”. These outline the three major practical pathways for safeguarding national financial security. These three pathways progress from point to surface, from appearance to essence, and advance layer by layer, displaying rigorous internal unity and logical coherence.Xi Jinping’s crucial views on national financial security are logically rigorous, with interconnected and closely related basic viewpoints, forming a scientific theoretical system. Xi Jinping’s important statements on national financial security have profound contemporary relevance. Currently, with the deepening of economic and financial globalization, the financial structures of countries are becoming increasingly complex, and mutual financial connections are growing stronger. The influence of the U.S.-led international financial system is increasingly evident. For emerging market countries, financial security issues stem both from inherent instabilities within their own financial systems and from the negative spillover effects of Western financial capital. General Secretary Xi’s thoughts on national financial security have been shaped in light of the new characteristics of global economic and financial development. Xi Jinping’s important views on national financial security are distinctly people-oriented, practical, and scientific. They are grounded in Chinese practices and circumstances and address universally-concerned issues of financial security on the international stage. Deeply studying and understanding General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important discourses on national financial security, and continuously enriching and developing them, helps in accurately recognizing and grasping the overall state of national financial security in the new era and journey ahead. It further consolidates significant phased achievements in the battle to prevent and resolve financial risks, promotes high-quality development of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and thus provides important national financial security safeguards for the realization of overall national security and Chinese-style modernization in the new journey ahead.
