The concept of holistic national security (Chinese: 总体国家安全观; pinyin: Zǒngtǐ guójiā ānquán guān), also translated as comprehensive national security,[1] is a principle of national security policy defined by Chinese Communist Party general secretary Xi Jinping in 2014. According to this principle, dimensions such as economic security, cybersecurity, and energy security are viewed as necessary to traditional national security concerns.
