I will first convey the mobilization order of the People's Republic of China.
The main purpose of the expanded meeting of the Standing Committee is to convey the instructions of the superior order, clarify the intention, study the situation, and clarify the main work and general requirements of the Normal to War transition.
According to the spirit of the instructions from above, combined with the actual situation in our province, it is recommended that in accordance with the principle of a rapid and orderly Normal to War status transition, military planning, and mobilization, we will focus on the following three tasks.
First, the construction of a national defense mobilization command system
Second, the implementation of a wartime work mechanism
Third, wartime control preparation
Next, please discuss and make speeches.
According to principles of being excellent at multiple domains, precise mobilization, and being led by combat concept, based on the mission and tasks of Guangdong, we propose three recommendations.
First, quickly build a joint command system between the military and the civil government.
Second, to coordinate the preparation of strategic victory mobilization.
Focus in the Taiwan Straits Area:
Replenish military sources, ensure forward push, ensure loading, ensure the navigation, and ensure island seizing
Focus in the South China Sea Area:
Complementing blind areas, maintaining rights and interests, supporting transportation, protecting islands and reefs, and controlling sea areas
Accordingly, I believe that we should follow policy ideas and methods that are demand-led, unified, and combined, precisely carry them out, grasp the differences, and do a good job of strategic mobilization and implementation of preparations for a decisive victory
Third, highlight and transform the resource potential of new domains and new systems, to focus on effectively making up for the shortage of troops, and adhere to the scientific and technological mobilization to mobilize the implementation of preparations in a prominent position.
The provincial military regions should work together with relevant industry authorities, to further dig deeper into the transformation, reconnaissance and early warning, network attack and defense, search and rescue, cross-sea delivery, and other resource potentials in new domains and new systems, to ensure that the best resources for the final battle, to ensure that best resources are utilized to ensure a strategic victory.
Proposal to Accomplish the Mission of Securing resources and Ensuring Strategic Victory (corresponding time code on the audio file: 2:37)
Dear Secretary and Deputy Secretary, my opinions are:
Resolutely implement the orders of the Party Central Committee, President Xi, and resolutely accomplish Guangdong’s mission of resolutely ensuring the resources to achieve a strategic and decisive victory.
I’ll make two suggestions.
First, quickly set up a joint military-civilian command party committee
Second, pay a high degree of attention to our own defense, adhere to the bottom line thinking, prepare for a rainy day, defend before the attack, and adhere to whole-process defense. Focus on the Pearl River Delta super-dense cities and important military and livelihood targets in the region. Plan early, coordinate well air defense, target defense, and various preparations for war. Maximumly protect people's lives and properties and maintain the mobilization potential sustainably and to the maximum degree.
I add a suggestion.
In accordance with the idea of protecting the front line and maintaining stability at the same time, we should do well with social prevention and control, strict and tight. We should initiate the joint defense and control mechanism among the party, government, military, police, and civilians, and special measures for wartime control. We should transform the experiences we gained from pandemic prevention and control in previous years into wartime social prevention and control initiatives to ensure that people's production and life are in order, to ensure the general situation of social stability, and to create a favorable environment and conditions for the strategic victory.
Deployment Decision of the Governor and the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee (corresponding time code on the audio file: 4:06)
After other leaders put forward relevant proposals, the governor put forward relevant requirements, and the provincial party secretary made the deployment decision.
The most urgent and top priority thing is, according to the deployment of the Party Central Committee, in accordance with the requirements of ensuring production, mobilization, and victory, we should ensure scientific coordination, strong and orderly organization of production, conversion, expansion, and stabilization of production.
All levels, all regions, and all departments in the province should quickly adjust the work priority, moving from focusing on economic development to ensuring strategic victory. Following the principle of military and civilians share the same heart, and military products first, we should coordinate well the military and civilian production.
We need to introduce targeted wartime policy measures and guide and support those high-tech and special enterprises that are included in the "potential resources in new domains and new systems" list to convert and expand their production.
We need to use a combination of political, economic, administrative, legal, and other means, to guide and help provincial enterprises, and key private enterprises to retain workers, and ensure stable production.
In the meantime, we should also focus on effectively preventing and resolving the risk of resource disruption and industry disruption, and do more and more to mobilize and counter-mobilize, mobilize within the region and mobilize overseas to ensure the security of the supply of important strategic materials.
Mobilization Focus: Coordinating the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea (Corresponding recording time point: 5:42)
Comrades, the strategic decisive victory is related to the great cause of our national rejuvenation and the future fate of our country. It will also impact the world's strategic pattern. The Normal to War transition is a key move to win the overall war, the decisive battle of our country, and the people's war in the new era. We must do it quickly and well.
First, we need to unify the ideological understanding and strengthen the awareness of transition. We won’t hesitate to start a war, crush Taiwan's independence and strong enemies’ plots, and resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. This is the Party Central Committee, General Secretary Xi Jinping’s major strategic decision to coordinate the big pictures of international and domestic affairs, as well as the overall strategic situation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It was made after carefully reviewing the timing and the situations.
We must consciously strengthen the role of Guangdong, with a high level of political judgment, political comprehension, and political implantation ability. We must unify our thought and action according to the decision and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission. United, we’ll be as solid as a fortress. We must ensure the supplies and the strategic victory. We must ensure that we accomplish our mission, to live up to the trust that is entrusted to us.

Second, we must unify well the organization and command [system], to ensure a reasonable transition. Just now, comrade Zhou He (周河)and comrade [Wang] Shouxin (王守信), respectively proposed the opening of a joint military-civilian command, the establishment of the command party committee. I agree with both of them. Submit the proposals to the higher party committee for approval according to the provisions.

The provincial industry special command posts must resolutely obey the unified command of the joint command, and the various military-civilian departments at all levels should both accomplish their respective duties and work closely together to ensure that the party, government, military, police, and civilians work together with combined forces to win.
Third, we must grasp the overall situation, jointly promote the implementation, and enhance the chance to win the transition. With the overall planning, we must accurately grasp the rhythm, scope, and intensity of the Normal to War State transition. We must fully ensure the needs of the troops, to support front-line operations. At the same time, we must also take into account the lives of the masses, and ensure the stability of the rear [of the battlefield].jo
In terms of mobilization focus, we need to coordinate the two areas of the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea. We must ensure everything both at sea and on land. We must ensure both traditional and new type forces, as well as resources from both the province and overseas. We must pool all our resources to ensure [the needs] in the Taiwan Strait area.
With organization and implementation, we must coordinate economically developed cities and relatively backward areas, general industry areas, and key industry areas, to ensure efficient and effective transfer to the wartime system.
Fourth, we must unify the wartime management, solid the transition bottom line, to firmly establish bottom-line thinking. Based on the actual situation that we have a large number of migrant workers, and a large number of factories and enterprises, we must strictly prevent the bank run tide, factory evacuation tide, and migrant workers returning home tide.
Based on the actual situation that we have many strategic channels and important targets, we must strictly do a good job to protect our roads and targets. We must strictly prevent the enemy’s strikes and attacks.
Based on the actual situation that we are adjacent to Hong Kong and Macao, and we have a long sea defense line, we must strictly prevent the enemy’s infiltration and destruction. We must prevent [the enemies] from using Hong Kong to create chaos, and then using chaos to disrupt the war, and so on.
In short, we must take multiple measures, and a multi-pronged approach to ensure the stability of the people’s perspective, the stability of social order, and the stability of the rear.
