Counter-espionage, a phrase that may sound obscure to today's children Dele Alli England Jersey , was used a lot recently as the government tried to ensure everyone takes China's security into their own hands on National Security Education Day.
Last Saturday, the first set of readers about national security aimed at middle and primary school students were officially published in Nanjing, East China's Jiangsu Province.
The books use easy-to-read language and comics to spread knowledge about national security, the threat apparently posed by spies and how to spot potential terror threats. It also contains games like ""find the spy,"" to drum the concept of national security into students, as Jiangsu People's Publishing LTD (JPP) Lewis Cook England Jersey , publisher of the books, told the Global Times.
The book release is just one of a myriad of activities that went on this National Security Education Day, the country's second. The new occasion is part of a broader official drive to deal with national security issues through societal and legal means. In November 2014, China implemented its first Counter-espionage Law. In July 2015, China's new National Security Law was promulgated.
This year, besides eye-catching street banners Ashley Young England Jersey , community publicity events, vivid videos and graphs shared online that try to convince the public at large of the importance of national security, students from primary schools to colleges were specifically targeted by this publicity drive to mobilize them as a huge counter-spy force.
""We can never be too careful even in peacetime. Spies and secret agents might be all around us,"" Wang Dawei, a professor with People's Public Security University of China, told with the Global Times.
Nationwide education
The books recently published in Nanjing Jake Livermore England Jersey , which draw their content from the National Security Law, Counter-espionage Law and the Anti-terrorism Law, have been seen by the publishers as touching on a subject that many young people are unfamiliar with.
Even though espionage cases make headlines from time to time, it is hard for students to relate these cloak-and-dagger stories to their own lives. These books seek to make these abstract concepts specific and touchable.
""The books went through tests and amendments in the past year, and will be used on a large scale from this year on,"" the publishing house revealed Chris Smalling England Jersey , ""It is very trendy for middle and primary students to receive this kind of education given the increasingly complicated world situation.""

The event Eric Dier England Jersey , which was broadcast live in all Hubei schools, was viewed by 1.53 million college students and 5.52 million primary and middle school students.
