Ulrich Beck who is Germany's famous pioneer of the risk society theory has said:human life on the crater of civilization, the whole human society has entered into the stage of world risk society. The 2014 human development report that The United Nations development programme (UNDP) newly released also issues a warning to the world:in today's world, the insecurity is still widespread, whether in livelihood, personal safety, the environment or global political context. Since the middle of the 20th century, the political risk, economic risk, cultural risk, ecology risk, genetic risk, nuclear war risk in the human society, either constantly prove the fact that UNDP is not an alarmist, but also continue to be fulfilled with Ulrich Beck's argument that the world risk society is coming.At the macro background of world risk society, how is the situation of era for the contemporary Chinese society? For this problem, there are two main theorists diametrically opposed views:positive and negative. On the negative point of view, our country does not have the social conditions that the western social risk theory said, and should not use the social risk theory to analyze and determine the characteristics of our society. In other words, the risk is not a typical feature of the contemporary Chinese society, and do not give the special attention. On the positive point of view, China has entered the risk society or high-risk society. The risk has become the important keyword that is the description and analysis of the risk structure of Chinese society.So the risk perspective should be taken care to analyze the reality of our social life, and gives basic strategies to deal with the risk society. This article certainly agree on the view that China has entered the risk society, and should be highly concerned about the risk problem of the contemporary Chinese society and propose practical strategies to deal with risk issues. On this basis, we refine and demonstrate the "China risk society" concept, content and features that are a problem ignored by the affirmative scholars. After China affirmatively entered the risk society, exploring its causes or nature and proposing the strategies has become the major theoretical issues for the governance issues on the Chinese social risk. On this issue, the academic debate is intense today. This paper argues that the generation and formation of the Chinese risk society have both the similarities form the Western experience, but also the unique social and historical development of China, being the result of many factors acting together since the modern social transformation. In short, the "social transformation" is the fundamental cause of the formation of Chinese social risk. Facing the Chinese risk society fellow the social transformation of the Chinese community, the governance capacity of the Chinese government apparently does not keep pace with the changing time, and cannot fully meet the strong invasion of uncertainty risk society. So the traditional and existing governance model gradually display out of their predicament, and the core performance is the failure of governance. So, how to solve this governance trouble? In our view, facing Chinese risk society during the modern social transformation with the complex and unique characteristics, taking the Western road which is used to pragmatism is clearly not feasible. The correct response to it should be, on the basis of risk and borrowing western model of social governance merit, particularly started a series of targeted method of governance for the reality of China in transition, and embark on a road with Chinese characteristics of the risk of social governance.Therefore, the basic principle of historical materialism as the basic methods, theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics as the guiding ideology, this article puts forward "theoretical framework China risk society", drawing on the analysis and the integrated use of basic western risk society theory, governance theory and social transformation theory, to analyze the unique Chinese social risk. In determining the theoretical framework, we focuses on Chinese social existence of four types of risk landscape:conflict of interest is a trigger point of social risks, environmental pollution is the focal point of ecological risk, financial risk is cited economic risks ignition, moral anomie is highlighting the cultural point of risk, and analyzes the specific causes leading to the reality of those risks, including the conversion mechanism is the fundamental reason for the formation of Chinese social risk, structural transformation is the basic driving force of China's venture formed society, the concept of change is important risk factors that Chinese society is formed. With so many risk concentration reality emerged, existing traditional governance model gradually shows its limitations and led to the risk of social governance. In particular, the plight of governance includes four aspects: short board of policy governance, institutional defects of governance, structural single of governance, the governance capacity of the weakening and the like. So, how to solve these problems? On the basis of risk governance from Western society and decentralized governance model holistic governance model, we propose a five-point coping strategies: First, fostering a culture of risk, enhancing risk awareness; second, improving governance mechanism, improving governance capacity; Third, the expansion of multiple subjects, to promote collaborative governance; Fourth, changing the development concept, safeguarding social fairness; Fifth, to participate in global governance, confronting world risk society.
