On 15 April 2014, General Secretary Xi Jinping originated a holistic approach to national security. The approach provides a systematic, holistic, logical and integrated scientific theoretical framework with fundamental guidance and guide for action towards effective tackling of the various risks and challenges arising from major changes of the national security situation in the new era.
Security of our country and the people can only be safeguarded when a holistic approach to national security is fully and faithfully implemented. The essence can be summed up as One Overall Goal,
Five Essential Elements and
Five Coordination Tasks.
