Abstract

Amid globalization, digital transformation, and the rapid expansion of cyberspace, the dissemination of misleading, distorted, and hostile information has changed in its methods, scope, and speed, creating new challenges for protecting the Communist Party of Vietnam’s ideological foundation. For the People’s Public Security force, building a “steel shield” to identify and counter erroneous and hostile viewpoints is closely associated with developing a regular, elite, and modern force and fulfilling its responsibilities for safeguarding national security and maintaining social order and safety. This article examines the requirements of this task and proposes measures to strengthen the People’s Public Security force’s role in countering hostile viewpoints targeting the Communist Party of Vietnam.

Keywords: Communist Party of Vietnam, countering hostile viewpoints, ideological foundation, People’s Public Security, steel shield.
