Legislators discussing draft law on security
Print Edition
A DRAFT law on the China’s security strategy, which highlights political and public security, was heard by the top legislature yesterday.
The national security law was tabled for its second reading during the bimonthly session of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, which runs until Friday.
The draft clearly defines the overall national security outlook put forward by President Xi Jinping at the first meeting of the National Security Commission in April last year.
Xi said a “national security path with Chinese characteristics” should be explored. He said a system should be built that covers politics; territory; military; economy; culture; society; science and technology; information; ecology; nuclear; and natural resources.
National security work should ensure political and public security, Li Shishi, director of the Commission for Legislative Affairs of the NPC Standing Committee, told the session.
Economic security is the basis of national security, and military, cultural as well as social security are safeguarding measures, according to the draft.
The draft law includes more clauses pertaining to important industries and sectors deemed vital to the economy, which would prevent financial risks through the development of financial infrastructure and capabilities, and a grain security system.
It calls for reinforced education and dissemination of socialist core values, to prevent the infiltration of harmful moral standards.
The establishment of systems for cyber and information security, and national sovereignty in cyber space were also addressed.
