Through a series of activities on the National Security Education Day, the government and the public can effectively understand the requirements of the national security law, thus enhancing their sense of responsibility and improving their ability to safeguard national security.

The theme of the event in 2020 is "Adhering to the overall national security concept, coordinating traditional security and non-traditional security, and providing a strong guarantee for the decisive victory in building a well-off society in an all-round way".
