April 15 is National Security Day in China, a day for raising awareness of national security among the public.
Ling Shengli, secretary-general of the International Security Study Center at the China Foreign Affairs University, said national security education among citizens is necessary for the country's overall security.
Some national security violations were caused by people's unintentional curiosity or negligence. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the public's awareness of the relevance of nation security issues to their lives.
National security is about the security of the people. National security is closely linked with every individual's security. To safeguard national security is to safeguard the citizens' security, and such work also needs support from the citizens.
