Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) – On November 25th, the "Intelligent Risk Perception, Jointly Building City Brand" Warm City Brand Communication Power Index Release Conference and Risk Perception and Early Warning Mechanism Sharing Meeting were held in Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
The Ordos risk perception and early warning mechanism mainly uses online and offline methods to classify 11 types of risks. For different risk information, it relies on think tanks to conduct comprehensive analysis and propose countermeasures.
In 2024, the National Risk Perception and Early Warning Mechanism On-site Observation Meeting was held in Ordos. The city has ranked first in the region for business environment for five consecutive years and has been recognized as a national investment hotspot city and one of the happiest cities, gaining widespread recognition for its Warm City brand.
Cao Guodong, PhD, Associate Professor, and Director of the Public Opinion Center at the School of Journalism and Communication, Inner Mongolia Normal University, stated that Ordos' risk perception and early warning mechanism aligns with the "three major" ideological shifts in urban risk governance, solving the challenges of public opinion governance, digital governance, and collaborative governance, enabling urban risk governance to leap from "perception" to "cognition," and from "whole-chain" to "whole-domain."
"Ordos has established a closed-loop working mechanism for risk perception and early warning," said Xu Zhengzhong, former Deputy Director, Professor, and Doctoral Supervisor of the Department of Economics at the Central Party School of the Communist Party of China (National Academy of Governance). He added that in an AI-driven digital society, social governance thinking must shift from "passive observation" to "proactive shaping," abandoning the old concept of governance as "post-event adjudication." Future digital governance needs to be both forward-looking and collaborative.
Li Qianqian, a researcher at the Institute of Science and Technology Strategy Consulting, Chinese Academy of Sciences, stated that Ordos has explored a distinctive development path of "independent innovation, government promotion, professional collaboration, and technological empowerment" in its risk perception and early warning mechanism, providing a replicable and scalable practical model for other regions in China to promote the modernization of risk governance.
Xu Hejian, a first-level inspector of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee's Publicity Department, stated that the profound changes brought about by new technologies, new business models, and new platforms to society today make Ordos' risk perception and early warning mechanism worthy of promotion.
Yuan Yong, Deputy Director of the Publicity Department of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Party Committee, stated that local governments should balance "building a positive image" with "preventing risks," leveraging the city's brand to make it a powerful engine for high-quality development. In recent years, the brand recognition and influence of "Warm City Ordos" have steadily increased. (End)
