On today's Backchat, we're talking about National Security Education Day and discuss the concept of "holistic security".

This year's event coincides with the 10th anniversary of President Xi Jinping's introduction of a holistic approach to national security, highlighting non-military actors' role in safeguarding national interests and stability.
