Whatisthebasicnationalpolicy?Thisisaconceptthathasneverbeendefinedinanynationalofficialdocuments,anditisalsoaconceptthathasbeengrantedcasuallyonmanyoccasions.Therefore,therearemanymisrepresentationsofthebasicnationalpolicyamongthepeopleandeventhegovernment.Forexample,aconsiderablenumberofpeoplebelievethatChinahasonlytwobasicnationalpolicies,familyplanningandenvironmentalprotection,andsomepeoplebelievethatChinahasmanybasicnationalpolicies,suchasrejuvenatingthecountrythroughscienceandeducation,andprotectingintellectualpropertyrights.AnimportantreasonforthissituationisthatChina’sbasicnationalpolicydoesnothaveacleardefinitionstandard.Inmanypeople’smindsitisjustawayofexpressingtheimportanceofacertainpolicy.Someleadersevenconfessedcertainaspectsinpublic.The"promotion"oftheaffairsofthePeople'sRepublicofChinahasbecomeabasicnationalpolicy,sothatthepublic'sunderstandingofthisisconfused.

PolicyStandards
Generallyspeaking,acertainaspectofapolicyshouldmeetthefollowingthreecriteriabeforeitcanbecomeabasicnationalpolicy:①"Basicnationalpolicy"shouldbeacertaincategorydeterminedbybasicnationalconditions.Thesystematiccountermeasurestoissuesofoverall,long-term,andstrategicsignificancereflectthecountry’snationalwillinsolvingsuchproblems,andhavethecharacteristicsofhigh-level,long-termeffectiveness,wide-ranging,andcross-departmental.Theformulationandimplementationofanytypeof"basicnationalpolicy"willhaveamajorandlong-termimpactontheoverallpoliticalstability,economicdevelopment,andsocialharmonyofthecountry.Therefore,the"basicnationalpolicy"shouldbeatthehighestlevelintheentirepolicysystem.Itshouldstipulate,restrictandguidetheformulationandimplementationofgeneralspecificpolicies,andprovideasuperiorbasisforpolicycoordinationinrelatedfields.Becauseofthis,therelevantimplementationofthebasicnationalpolicyrequirestheconcertedeffortsofmultipledepartmentstoensuretheeffect;②Thebasicnationalpolicyisnotageneralmacro-guidanceprincipleorpolicyorientation,butshouldbetargetedatcertainbasicnationalconditionsthatareeasilyoverlookedineconomicdevelopment.Thebasicdevelopmentconceptofthecountrykeepspacewiththetimesandcanmorefullyreflectthequalityofdevelopment.Forexample,sinceChinahaslongfocusedoneconomicconstructionsincethereformandopeningup,manydevelopmentqualityproblemshavebeenaccumulatedunderthedevelopmentconceptof"fastandgood".Therefore,China'sbasicnationalpolicieshavebeguntoshowthetendencyof"goodandfast".,Inordertohavethepertinencetosolvetheproblem;③Thebasicnationalpoliciesshouldbeequal,andthereshouldbenomorecontainmentorguidancerelationship.Somepolicyorientations,suchasadheringtothefourbasicprinciplesarethefoundationofChina'snation-building,arerelatedtothecountry'spoliticalsystem,arethebasicprinciplesofChina'sgovernance,andaretheprinciplesthatguidetheimplementationofbasicnationalpolicies,sotheyaregenerallynolongerlistedseparatelyasbasicnationalpolicies.
However,thesethreestandardsareonlytheoreticallybasic"idealmodels"ofnationalpolicy,andtheyareactualstandardsthathavenotbeeninstitutionalized.Duetothelackofrelevantsystemregulations,inrealityithasneitherbecomeasufficientconditionnoranecessaryconditionfordeterminingthebasicnationalpolicy.Thatis,thebasicnationalpoliciesintheaforementionedthreelevelsof"clearregulations"maynotallmeetthesethreestandards,andviceversa..Examplescanbeasfollows:Thebasicnationalpolicythathasbeenrepeatedlyclarifiedonmanyoccasionsformanyyears-openingtotheoutsideworldisapolicyorientation,similartoadherencetothefourbasicprinciples,andcannotbecalledasolutiontocertainbasicnationalconditionsinastrictsense.Countermeasures.However,becauseofitsgreatsignificance,itwasgiventhenameof"basicnationalpolicy"bytheleadersatthebeginningofreformandopeninguptoattractattention,anditbecameaconvention;anotherexample,waterandsoilconservationpolicybelongstothedepartmentalworkofgreatsignificance,andtheabove-mentionedstandardshouldnotbeincreasedaccordingtotheexpectedstandard.Tothebasicnationalpolicylevel.However,duetothesituationintheearly1990s,itwasalsoclearlydefinedasabasicnationalpolicyinadocumentissuedbytheStateCouncil.
