China's state security ministry published a series of posters that emphasize state security in many arenas, including politics, economy, military, society and biology. This comes as China's seventh National Security Education Day on April 15 approaches. The posters reiterate that the core meaning of national security pivots around these topics. 

The message also stressed the Communist Party of China's (CPC) absolute leadership of the state security issue, and that China will find a unique way of upholding national security, which prioritizes the safety of its people.

The posters were also issued to "create good atmosphere for the successful convening of 20th National Congress of the CPC,'' media reported.

Many local governments have also rolled out activities, such as arranging classes for primary school students and giving out flyers, to educate people about national security.

Beijing's Tongzhou District issued a notice on Wednesday warning that retired military personnel, frantic military amateurs, university students and teachers, and people who work in defense and technology institutes are easy targets of foreign spies.

According to the notice, foreign agencies have patterns of choosing targets, which include those who seek extravagant life, are obsessed with Western ideology, slander the Chinese system, attention seekers and those who have low moral standards.

The notice said that some foreign agencies may open coffee shops to hide their identity and offer money to those targets to buy information.

The notice asked people to report those suspicious people and activities if found.
