The Importance of National Security in China

The 2015 national security law defines national security as the relative absence of danger from internal and external threats to state power, sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity. It does strike me that there's a few things that they do in this readout that sort of almost seem to be widening the net in terms of what they're talking about around national security. But the party is very, very clear on functionally what this means: regime security and specifically the Communist Party.
