Financial security is a matter of national security to China, according to Study Times. An instability in the financial system may ultimately lead to a social political crisis. “Loss of financial control means loss of control of the economy.” “By building a financial security network, we can guard against the technical attack of financial risks to China’s financial security, strengthen public confidence in China’s financial security, and safeguard our financial stability and financial security.”
