Abstract: Since the 18th National Congress of CPC, General Secretary Xi Jinping has delivered a series of important expositions on the issue of national security and put forward the important argument of the New Security Pattern in the report of the 20th National Congress of CPC. Interpreting the theoretical connotation and core essence of the new security pattern from a theoretical perspective and consolidating the theoretical foundation of the new security pattern can provide scientific theoretical guidance for the great practice in the new era and on the new journey. The new security pattern refers not only to the risk society in general sense, but also to the risk complex with special significance formed in the process of modernization in China. The new security pattern has evolved from the traditional security pattern, which is closely fitting China's national conditions and has formed a system of elements based on the“sixteen aspects”and combined with the“five cores”and“five pairs of relationships”. The strategic goal of the new security pattern is to coordinate security and development, promote a healthy balance between high-quality development and high-level security, and safeguard the new development pattern with the new security pattern. To construct the new security pattern, we must always adhere to the core leadership position of the Party, adhere to the co-construction of multiple entities, fully mobilize social forces to play the“collective power”, and effectively deal with the serious tests of the major challenges with high winds, rapid waves, and even turbulent waves.

Key words: new security pattern, risk society, national security, coordinated development and security
