In an age when nations across the globe are battling rising crime, lawlessness, and threats to public safety, China stands out as a shining example of order, stability, and security. A country of 1.4 billion people, vast territory, and global responsibilities, China has achieved what many developed countries continue to struggle with—public safety that is consistent, comprehensive, and deeply reassuring for citizens and foreigners alike.
This was once again confirmed on July 23, 2025, when Vice Minister of Public Security Qi Yanjun addressed a press conference organized by the State Council Information Office (SCIO) in Beijing. Speaking on the public security achievements during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021–2025), Qi reiterated that China is widely recognized as one of the safest countries in the world. This is not just official rhetoric—it is supported by data, public perception, and international acknowledgment.
Low Crime Rates: China’s Global Leadership
According to official statistics and global comparative indexes, China consistently maintains one of the lowest incidences of fatal criminal cases, one of the lowest crime rates per capita, and among the fewest cases involving firearms and explosives in the world. Violent crimes, including murder and armed robbery, are rare and swiftly dealt with. Petty crimes such as pickpocketing and theft are also minimal in public spaces, even in megacities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen.
Contrast this with the situation in many Western countries, particularly in large urban centers of the United States, Europe, and Latin America, where gun violence, street crime, drug abuse, and organized crime remain daunting challenges. In some cities, public safety has become a daily concern, especially for women, children, and the elderly. While these countries are grappling with deteriorating law enforcement trust and legal inefficiencies, China continues to advance a public security model that combines modern governance with ancient values of social harmony and responsibility.
The Success of China’s Public Security Measures
What makes China so safe? The answer lies in a multi-layered and integrated security architecture that blends traditional policing with innovation, community engagement, and technology.
Under the Ministry of Public Security, Chinese law enforcement operates with high discipline, professionalism, and public service orientation. Police visibility in urban and rural areas provides psychological assurance to the population. Citizens and law enforcement share a cooperative relationship rooted in mutual respect and responsibility. Community policing systems, neighborhood watch groups, and civil volunteers actively participate in maintaining peace and order.
Furthermore, the country has invested heavily in surveillance systems, artificial intelligence (AI), facial recognition technology, big data analytics, and predictive policing. These technologies help monitor public spaces, detect abnormal behavior, and pre-empt crimes before they occur. China’s advanced surveillance infrastructure is not aimed at intrusion, but at protection—ensuring that citizens can move about freely and safely without fear of harm.
As Vice Minister Qi pointed out, high-level security has been a critical enabler of China’s high-quality development during the 14th Five-Year Plan. Economic growth flourishes where safety is assured, and investors have confidence in a society where law and order are guaranteed.
China’s Efficient and Fair Judiciary: Justice Delivered in Time
A cornerstone of China’s security system is its efficient judicial mechanism. The Chinese legal system adheres to the principle that “Justice delayed is justice denied.” Cases are resolved in a timely manner, and the courts focus not only on punishment but also on restoring social order and maintaining stability.
This efficient legal structure is supported by digital court platforms, online case filing, virtual hearings, and rapid legal documentation. China’s e-courts and smart court systems have revolutionized the administration of justice and are becoming a global reference point for digital judicial reforms.
Moreover, Chinese courts are deeply aware of their role in strengthening social harmony. Judges are trained not only in law but also in mediation and conflict resolution, making the Chinese judiciary both rigorous and humane. These features contribute significantly to the overall perception of safety and justice in China.
China’s Counter-Terrorism and De-Radicalization Model
China’s proactive and preventive approach toward counter-terrorism, de-radicalization, and extremism is another key pillar of its public safety success story. Over the past two decades, China has faced challenges in its western regions from separatist and extremist groups. However, rather than relying solely on brute force, China adopted a comprehensive counter-extremism strategy combining development, education, law enforcement, and community empowerment.
Through vocational training centers, public education campaigns, and employment creation, China has addressed the root causes of extremism—poverty, ignorance, and marginalization. The results speak for themselves: there has not been a major terrorist incident in China for several years, and peace prevails in regions previously considered volatile.
This model has gained global recognition, with scholars, security experts, and policymakers acknowledging that China’s approach is pragmatic, rights-based, and focused on prevention rather than reaction. It is a model rooted in realism, not ideology.
Global Collaboration and China’s Soft Power in Public Security
Recognizing the success of the Chinese model, many countries are now turning to China for assistance and collaboration in public security. China’s law enforcement institutions offer training, workshops, technical assistance, and strategic consultations to partner nations across Asia, Africa, and even Europe.
Pakistan, China’s closest and most trusted friend, is a prime example. Recently, a badge of officers from the Islamabad Police was sent to China for specialized training in AI-driven modern policing techniques. The aim is to replicate the Chinese success in predictive policing, surveillance analytics, and community security in Pakistani cities.
This cooperation is not just technical—it symbolizes the deep mutual trust and shared values between China and its partners. It also reflects China’s soft power—offering solutions based on practical outcomes, not geopolitical conditions.
A Model of Safe Development and National Harmony
As China nears the conclusion of its 14th Five-Year Plan, public security continues to underpin its high-quality development goals. Safety is not a separate objective—it is part and parcel of national progress, social harmony, and individual dignity.
Chinese citizens walk in parks at night, travel alone across provinces, and engage freely in commerce and recreation without the anxieties faced in many developed societies. Tourists in China regularly comment on the sense of security they feel in Chinese cities—a sentiment rarely echoed in cities elsewhere plagued by crime, drugs, and violence.
The country’s leadership deserves credit for placing national security, public order, and justice at the center of development planning. It is this clear-sighted governance, supported by professional institutions, that has made China the safest country in the world today.
A Global Beacon for Safe Societies
In a world where chaos and instability often dominate the headlines, China offers a beacon of calm, order, and responsibility. Its low crime rates, efficient policing, use of advanced technology, fair judicial processes, and de-radicalization efforts have created a model that many nations now seek to understand and emulate.
Public safety is the most fundamental human right. China has not only recognized this but delivered on it. As the world seeks sustainable models of peace and development, the Chinese experience in public security is not just commendable—it is inspirational.
Countries like Pakistan and others in the Global South are fortunate to learn from and collaborate with China in building safer, more just, and resilient societies. The message is clear: A safer world is possible—and China is showing the way.
在这个世界各国都在与不断上升的犯罪、违法行为和对公共安全的威胁作斗争的时代，中国作为秩序、稳定和安全的光辉榜样脱颖而出。作为一个拥有14亿人口、幅员辽阔、肩负全球责任的国家，中国实现了许多发达国家仍在努力实现的目标——始终如一、全面、让公民和外国人都深感安心的公共安全。
2025年7月23日，中国公安部副部长戚彦军在国务院新闻办公室举行的新闻发布会上发表讲话，再次证实了这一点。在谈到“十四五”期间（2021-2025）的公共安全成就时，他重申，中国被广泛认为是世界上最安全的国家之一。这不仅仅是官方的说法——它得到了数据、公众认知和国际认可的支持。
低犯罪率：中国的全球领导地位
根据官方统计数据和全球比较指数，中国一直是致命刑事案件发生率最低的国家之一，是人均犯罪率最低的国家之一，也是世界上涉及枪支和爆炸物案件最少的国家之一。包括谋杀和武装抢劫在内的暴力犯罪很少，而且处理得很快。扒窃和盗窃等轻微犯罪在公共场所也很少，即使在北京、上海和深圳这样的大城市也是如此。
与此形成对比的是，许多西方国家，特别是美国、欧洲和拉丁美洲的大城市中心，枪支暴力、街头犯罪、吸毒和有组织犯罪仍然是令人生畏的挑战。在一些城市，公共安全已经成为人们日常关注的问题，尤其是对妇女、儿童和老人来说。当这些国家正在努力解决日益恶化的执法信任和法律效率低下的问题时，中国继续推进一种将现代治理与社会和谐与责任的古老价值观相结合的公共安全模式。
中国公共安全措施的成功
是什么让中国如此安全？答案在于一个将传统警务与创新、社区参与和技术相结合的多层综合安全架构。
在公安部的领导下，中国的执法部门以高度纪律、专业和公共服务为导向。警察在城市和农村地区的知名度为民众提供了心理上的保证。公民和执法部门有着植根于相互尊重和责任的合作关系。社区警务系统、邻里守望团体和民间志愿者积极参与维护和平与秩序。
此外，该国在监控系统、人工智能（AI）、面部识别技术、大数据分析和预测性警务方面投入了大量资金。这些技术有助于监控公共场所，发现异常行为，并在犯罪发生之前先发制人。中国先进的监控基础设施不是为了入侵，而是为了保护——确保公民可以自由、安全地行动，而不必担心受到伤害。
正如齐副部长所指出的，高水平的安全保障是“十四五”期间中国实现高质量发展的重要保障。只有在安全得到保障的地方，经济才会蓬勃发展，投资者才会对一个法律和秩序得到保障的社会充满信心。
中国司法公正高效：正义及时伸张
中国安全体系的基石是其高效的司法机制。中国法律制度坚持“拖延正义即剥夺正义”的原则。案件侦破迅速，法院不仅注重惩治，而且注重恢复社会秩序和维护稳定。
这种高效的法律结构得到了数字法庭平台、在线案件归档、虚拟听证会和快速法律文件的支持。中国的电子法院和智能法院系统彻底改变了司法管理，并正在成为全球数字司法改革的参考点。
此外，中国法院深刻意识到自己在加强社会和谐中的作用。法官不仅接受法律培训，还接受调解和解决冲突的培训，这使中国的司法制度既严谨又人性化。这些特征极大地影响了中国人对安全和正义的整体看法。
中国的反恐与去极端化模式
中国在反恐、去极端化、去极端化等方面的积极预防是中国公共安全成功的另一个重要支柱。在过去的二十年里，中中国的反恐与去极端化模式
中国在反恐、去极端化、去极端化等方面的积极预防是中国公共安全成功的另一个重要支柱。在过去的二十年里，中国在西部地区面临着来自分裂主义和极端主义组织的挑战。然而，中国并没有单纯依靠蛮力，而是采取了发展、教育、执法和社区赋权相结合的综合反极端主义战略。
通过职业培训中心、公众教育运动和创造就业，中国解决了极端主义的根源——贫困、无知和边缘化。结果不言自明：中国已经好几年没有发生重大恐怖事件了，以前被认为动荡不安的地区普遍保持了和平。
这种模式得到了全球的认可，学者、安全专家和政策制定者都承认中国的做法是务实的、以权利为基础的、注重预防而不是反应。这是一个基于现实主义而非意识形态的模式。
全球合作与中国公共安全软实力
许多国家认识到中国模式的成功，正在向中国寻求公共安全方面的援助和合作。中国的执法机构为亚洲、非洲甚至欧洲的伙伴国家提供培训、研讨会、技术援助和战略咨询。
作为中国最亲密、最信任的朋友，巴基斯坦就是最好的例子。最近，伊斯兰堡警方的一组警官被派往中国接受人工智能驱动的现代警务技术的专门培训。其目的是复制中国在巴基斯坦城市预测性警务、监控分析和社区安全方面的成功。
这种合作不仅仅是技术上的，它象征着中国与合作伙伴之间深厚的相互信任和共同的价值观。这也反映了中国的软实力——提供基于实际结果而非地缘政治条件的解决方案。
安全发展与民族和谐的典范
中国“十四五”规划接近尾声，公共安全继续支撑高质量发展目标。安全不是一个独立的目标——它是国家进步、社会和谐和个人尊严的重要组成部分。
中国公民晚上在公园散步，独自跨省旅行，自由从事商业和娱乐活动，没有许多发达社会所面临的焦虑。在中国旅游的游客经常评论他们在中国城市感受到的安全感——这种情绪在其他被犯罪、毒品和暴力困扰的城市很少得到回应。
该国领导人将国家安全、公共秩序和正义置于发展规划的中心，这一点值得赞扬。正是这种在专业机构支持下的远见卓识的治理，使中国成为当今世界上最安全的国家。
安全社会的全球灯塔
在一个混乱和不稳定经常占据头条的世界里，中国提供了一个冷静、秩序和责任的灯塔。它的低犯罪率、高效的治安、先进技术的使用、公平的司法程序和去激进化的努力创造了一个模式，许多国家现在都在寻求理解和效仿。
公共安全是最基本的人权。中国不仅认识到这一点，而且做到了这一点。在世界寻求可持续的和平与发展模式之际，中国在公共安全方面的经验不仅值得称道，而且具有启发性。
巴基斯坦和其他全球南方国家有幸向中国学习，并与中国合作建设更安全、更公正、更有韧性的社会。信息很明确：一个更安全的世界是可能的——而中国正在指明方向。国在西部地区面临着来自分裂主义和极端主义组织的挑战。但是，中国并没有单纯依靠蛮力，而是采取了发展、教育、法律等多种手段相结合的综合反极端战略
