The article presents a theoretical and legal analysis of the system of involving citizens in ensuring public security in the People's Republic of China. The key normative acts defining the interaction between the state and society in this sphere, including the Law of the People's Republic of China "On National Security" and the Law of the People's Republic of China "On Countering Terrorism" are considered. The mechanisms of public participation through residents' committees, auxiliary police formations and digital technologies, including the social credit system, are analysed. Based on statistical data and expert assessments, the effectiveness of these mechanisms is characterised. Potential challenges, such as the need to improve the regulatory framework and the balance between security and civil liberties, are identified.
