Abstract: Under the combined influence of the overall strategy of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the unprecedented changes in the world in a century, China is facing significant risks that are more uncertain and complicated. The major risks faced by China in the new era mainly exhibit such basic characteristics as the coexistence of exogenous and endogenous risks, the coexistence of sudden and long-term risks, the interaction between hidden and apparent risks, and the parallel coexistence of systemic and local risks. To prevent and resolve the major risks in the new era, we must firmly grasp the basic principles of adhering to the comprehensive leadership of the Party, putting the people first, coordinating development and security, daring to struggle, and exploring and innovating. To grasp the practical requirements of preventing and resolving major risks in the new era, it is necessary to deepen the strategic understanding of risk prevention from the cognitive dimension, cultivate the correct value concept of risk prevention from the value dimension, construct a solid institutional system for risk prevention from the institutional dimension, promote digital governance of risk prevention from the technical dimension, so as to form a systematic force to control various major risks.

Key words: major risks, prevention and resolution, the new era
