Be a firm defender of national security ■ Liu Decheng On April 15 this year, we will celebrate the seventh national security education day for all. National security, which is related to the survival and development of the country, the harmony and stability of society and the happy life of the people, has always attracted much attention. A few days ago, the Ministry of justice and the national office for law popularization jointly issued a notice, which determined that the theme of this year's national security education day for the whole people's law popularization publicity campaign is: "strengthen the overall concept of national security, feel the achievements of national security in the new era, and create a good atmosphere for welcoming the victory of the 20th CPC National Congress." At this year's two sessions, food security has become a hot topic. More and less food is a tactical issue. Food security is a strategic issue, a "big country" and the bottom line of national security. In a sense, we are making contributions to national security by eliminating waste and saving food. The country prospers with peace and the people enjoy peace. The above news events and the epidemic prevention and control struggle over the past two years have made us realize that national security is not far away from us and is closely related to everyone. At any time and under any circumstances, we should be a firm defender of national security and contribute to national security. The Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee stressed the need to "coordinate development and security". Development and security determine the success or failure of the cause of the party and the state. Development solves the power problem, safety solves the guarantee problem and is the premise of development. Without security, nothing can be done. Without national security, development can only be a "mirage", and the achievements may be destroyed once. Only by building a solid national security dam can we escort the "China" giant ship forward. Soldiers have always been at the forefront in safeguarding national security. The children's soldiers will always be the great wall of steel to defend the motherland and the loyal guardian to protect their homeland. When the foreign enemy invaded, the soldiers rushed to the front; When the people are in trouble, the children's soldiers stand up; When the country needs it, the vast number of officers and soldiers dare to take the lead... Generations of soldiers have cast an iron wall of national security with their youth, responsibility and ability. National security in the new era is a large system, involving politics, economy, culture, military, network, biology and other aspects. Military security is not only an important part of it, but also an important guarantee for other national security. Today, the connotation and extension of safeguarding national security are richer than at any time in history. There are more means and choices to safeguard national security, but military means are always the means to ensure the minimum. With reliable military security, political security, economic security and other security can be underpinned, and the overall national security can be strongly supported. At present, China is in a critical period of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The great changes that have not been seen in a century have accelerated the evolution, the epidemic situation has been ups and downs in the century, and the national security situation is unstable and uncertain. Especially this year, our party will usher in the 20th National Congress, a year of politics and major events, and put forward higher standards and requirements for national security. To safeguard national security, on the one hand, officers and men should consciously accept national security education, increase national security awareness, strengthen the overall concept of national security, carry forward the spirit of struggle, improve their fighting skills, and resolutely fight against all kinds of people and things endangering national security; On the other hand, we should adhere to the awareness of the bottom line, strengthen the awareness of hardship, crisis and war, comprehensively improve the ability to win in the new era, dare to light the sword and be good at it, and ensure that once something happens, we can go up and win.
