Overseas Non-Traditional Security Course: Safeguarding Overseas Enterprises and Study Groups

Recently, the tragic kidnapping and murder of two Chinese employees in the Philippines have garnered widespread attention. Reports indicate that these two employees were kidnapped while on a business trip, and despite their families paying a ransom, the victims were brutally killed. This incident has shocked the public and exposed the serious security risks Chinese citizens face abroad.

Risks of Working and Studying Abroad

With globalization, an increasing number of Chinese enterprises and student groups need to work, operate, and invest overseas. However, overseas security situations are complex and unpredictable, with various non-traditional security threats emerging frequently. According to data, in the first half of 2024, the number of Chinese citizens intercepted at the southern U.S. border exceeded 24,000, an increase of 8,000 since March 2021. Additionally, nearly a quarter of expatriate employees experienced “significant incidents” in the past year, including medical issues and terrorism threats.

Understanding Non-Traditional Security and Its Importance

Overseas Non-Traditional Security (NTS) refers to a range of non-military security threats that typically transcend borders, characterized by complexity and diversity, including terrorism, transnational crime, cybersecurity, environmental security, public health security, energy security, and economic security. Learning and understanding non-traditional security knowledge can help enterprises and individuals better respond to these threats, enhancing security awareness and response capabilities.

Training and education can significantly reduce the likelihood of security incidents abroad. Data shows that the proportion of trained corporate employees encountering security incidents abroad is reduced by about 35%, and trained students demonstrate over a 40% improvement in response efficiency when facing sudden security events.

Specific Recommendations for Enhancing Security Abroad

Before traveling, ensure you are familiar with the safety conditions of the destination, including the local political environment, crime rates, and common security threats.

Obtain up-to-date security information from local embassies, consulates, and reliable news sources.

Avoid flaunting wealth or engaging in high-profile behavior that may attract criminals.

Avoid frequenting high-crime or politically unstable areas.

Install and update antivirus software to prevent cyberattacks and information leaks.
