April 15, 2022 is the seventh National Security Education Day. Focusing on the theme of “strengthening the overall national security concept, reflecting on the achievements of national security in the new era, and creating a good atmosphere for the successful convening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China”, Shangcheng District organized local religious activity venues to hold a study and symposium on national security laws and regulations, with more than 20 representatives from the religious community participating in the study.
Through lectures on national security laws and regulations, as well as watching educational promotional videos on “National Security,” the study will enable attendees to truly understand the important meaning of the phrase “national security is no small matter, and national security is a prerequisite for all security.” This will effectively enhance the safety awareness and knowledge level of religious figures, and further deepen their understanding of national security concepts.
At the symposium, religious figures combined their own practical experiences to exchange learning gains and experiences.
Zhang Zhongcheng (person in charge of Chongyitang): We are grateful for the strength of our motherland, allowing the people of the whole country, including religious figures and believers, to live in a safe and harmonious environment. Learning the National Security Law is very timely and necessary, which can strengthen the safety awareness and enhance the safety literacy of religious venues and the general public. National security is everyone’s responsibility. In addition to maintaining various types of security in the National Security Law, we also need to ensure nine major security measures, including political security, venue security, personnel security, fire safety, and network information security, to ensure good epidemic prevention and control work, and to welcome the successful convening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the smooth hosting of the Asian Games.
Zhang Guoyong (resident pastor of Chongyitang): Today, we participated in the 7th National Security Day Education and Learning Conference. Through videos, coaching reports, and exchange of experiences, we have greatly benefited. Through learning, we have strengthened our national security awareness, improved our security literacy, firmly established our overall national security concept, and gained a deeper understanding of the achievements of national security in the new era. We also need to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and there are no bystanders in maintaining national security. Only when national security is maintained can we live and work in peace, because ‘Guotai’ can ‘the people be safe’. For our religious community, it is even more important to strictly follow the “1+9” indicator system requirements for the safe creation of religious activity venues to carry out standardized safety management work, always tighten the safety string, and effectively implement epidemic prevention and control measures.
Ma Xuejun (Director of the Mosque Management Committee): National security is related to people’s well-being. Through learning, we will lead all teaching staff to further learn relevant laws and regulations. We will also create a “1+9” indicator system for the safety of religious activity venues, and promote national security laws and regulations among the majority of religious believers through various forms. With the main line of strengthening the awareness of the Chinese national community, we will tell the religious story of China well, Make every effort to contribute.
Yang Keliang (colleague from Jianqiao Hall): Everyone is responsible for national security! As representatives of the religious community, we should pay more attention to the doors of the church and manage its people well. One is to guide believers to establish a sense of national security security; Secondly, it is necessary to help believers clearly understand the rights and obligations that every citizen should enjoy in maintaining national security; The third is to guide believers to consciously safeguard national security, keep national secrets, and contribute to national security.
This training fully mobilized the enthusiasm and initiative of religious professionals to maintain national security through practical actions, further enhancing their sense of security, responsibility, and mission, carrying out activities in accordance with laws and regulations, and maintaining national security through practical actions.
